Smart Lipo & Fat Transfer- Dr. Khalifeh is the Best on the East Coast! - Chevy Chase, MD

On Nov 15th, I had Smart Lipo on my abs and flanks and fat transfer to my butt (BBL) procedure at Dr. Khalifeh's office in Chevy Chase, a couple blocks from Washington DC. It was a wonderful experience with the doctor and the nurses at DC Cosmetics and I am thrilled to see the results the procedure has on my body already.

I think the only way I can show my gratitude is to write a truthful and informative review here to help viewers to make a better decision about the procedure for themselves. I would like to make this post as informative as possible, please ask questions and I will try my best to answer them. I will post before & after pictures when swelling goes down.

A little bit about me: I am 24 years old, Asian heritage, typically wear a size 4, about 5'6. I always have had a little belly and I am self conscious about it all the time. Who doesn't want a well-defined hourglass figure that looks good in a skin-tight pencil skirt?

The total cost of the procedure is 4725, which includes smart lipo on lower and upper abs and flanks, and fat transfer to my butt. Lipo on lower and upper abs is 3500, and the cost on flanks is additional 1750. I paid cash so i get 10% discount, and fat transfer is free.

Can you believe it? Dr. Khalifeh offered to do the fat transfer for free because he said I was so small to begin with, and when you take fat out of a small person, your body will try to compensate by putting on fat somewhere else.

The procedure was painful, it was not easy, but really really worth it. I remember I was able to chat with the doctor in the beginning when the pain was somewhat bearable. He told me his wife is a surgeon too, accomplished family, duh. I asked him if I need a boob job. He said, he didn't pay attention to my breast earlier when he marked my body, because he doesn't look for flaws of people and try to get them fixed. He didn't sell to me about getting breast implants at all, just telling me I will get a lot attention with the implants. lol.

Smart Lipo was a breeze compared to the fat transfer procedure. They take out the fat out of my tummy and processed it to inject it into my butt. I am not sure how much CCs was injected, but there was bottles and bottles of fat mixed with blood got sucked out of tummy. The doctor said I am a pro because I didn't scream or asked to take breaks. Well, I tried my best not to distract him but I was shivering badly because it is painful. Dr said, he hasn't figured out a way to make the fat transfer less painful, and he asked me what kind of pain is it? I said… you probably have to try it yourself to know…

The whole procedure took 3-4 hours, and Georgette and [RS bleep] helped me put on a gartment. Georgette is a little doll, and she recently had a fat transfer to her butt too. She looks wonderful in her tight little jeans :) Dr asked Georgette to pick up juice, salad, yogurt, ginger ale for me from whole foods after the procedure, and it was on the house. Again, can't be grateful enough.

[RS bleep] and Adrienne helped me to settle in the corporate housing, I basically passed out immediately. I lost a lot of blood, and it was very hard to move around. The pain meds made me nauseous, and I couldn't really eat for a while. Georgette called me the next day and checked on how I was doing. I told her I couldn't eat so she stopped by on a Friday night, and gave me anti-nausea meds and dinner from Whole Foods. Oh man, they are so sweet that I won't be able to go to anywhere else for plastic surgeries in the future.

Oh crap, I just wrote a novel for you guys here. Fast forward to Nov 19th, I am healing beautifully at home and but I still can't really sit down nor drive yet. It is fine because I see people who had BBL take 2 weeks off for recovery. I am seeing more and more of the results each day and I am very happy.

:) I hope it helps make your decisions on Smart Lipo. Happy holidays to you all.
