27 Year Old, 5'4" Female, 120 Lbs - Charlotte, NC

I am a 27 year old mother of one. My daughter was born in August of 2010. I have fluctuated in weight throughout my life, but never more than about a 15 lb variance. During my pregnancy, I got up to 180 lbs. I have lost all this fairly quickly and and now almost the same size I was in high school.

I am currently around 120 lbs (really about 117 lbs to 120 lbs seems to be the norm these days). Even at this weight, and with a BMI of 20.4, I still have a good deal of fat around the mid-section. This, I'm sure, is a hereditary trait I inherited from mother.

I am having liposculpture done in conjunction with a breast augmentation on March 22, 2011. I also want to specify that the cost of $2,800.00 is low in comparison with the standard cost of the procedure, but my plastic surgeon is discounting the fees since I had already been scheduled for a breast augmentation on the same day. This should NOT be the price that people should expect to pay from a qualified board certified plastic surgeon. Had I not been getting a multi-procedure discount, the fee for the liposculpture alone would have been between $5,000.00 and $6,000.00. And just an fyi, but the cost of the combined procedures is $8,600.00.

I am going on March 10, 2011, for my pre-operative consultation appointment. My original consultation in January 2011 only focused on the breast augmentation, so when I go back on Wednesday we will discuss the liposculpture procedure and game plan.

I am focused on the upper and lower abdomen, flanks and bra line. While there is not a great deal of fat here, there is in comparison to the rest of my body. I expect that this procedure will decrease my waist line and give me a more hourglass figure, with a flatter tummy.

I am posting photos of before with measurements and I will update these at various times after the procedure.
