I wouldn’t wear knee-length dresses for years because of the huge fat deposits on my knees. When I went to the pool or the beach, I would always wear a cover-up to hide the fat. No matter how much weight I lost or exercise I did, the fat deposits were still there. Well, I finally decided to do something about it! Dr. Philip Schoenfeld had performed earlobe repair surgery on me some years before, so I knew he was a highly-skilled plastic surgery. I had been reading about slim lipo and its short downtime and great results for some time, but was afraid to even think about it. I was destined to hide my fat knees the rest of my life. I finally figured nothing ventured, nothing gained, and decided to visit Dr. Schoenfeld for a consultation at Renu in Chevy Chase, MD to see if my knees could be improved. To my pleasant surprise, Dr. Schoenfeld assured me that I would be quite happy with the results. Truer words have never been spoken! I LOVE my new knees!!! In fact, I am now considering more slim lipo to remove the rest of the fat in my thighs! I am now wearing above-the-knee dresses and ... drum roll ... I can now wear that cat suit I’ve always wanted to wear for Halloween and look great in it!!! Check me out below! Thank you, Dr. Schoenfeld!!!

I love your costume! Thanks for sharing your story with us. What are your best pre/post-op tips? 

October 28, 2016
Hi Eva! I had very little to do pre-op except (1) start taking a pill two days before the procedure to help with the bruising (sorry I don't recall the name of the pill but your physician will make a recommendation), (2) fill a few prescriptions for painkillers, and (3) purchase several pair of compression stockings to wear after the procedure for about 3 weeks total. Even though your doctor may say that you can return to work the following day, I would give it another day. You will be oozing fluids for that long. In addition to the pills I started two days before the procedure, they also recommended a cream to rub into the area at least twice daily to help with the bruising and swelling. You continue to take the pills and use the cream until you run out of both. I hope this helps, and good luck to you if you decide to have slim lipo!

This is EXACTLY what I want. I go through everything you've described and feel very inspired by your results! Could you please share how long it took for full recovery? And how long after until you noticed results? Blessings to you! Thanks!
