Hi Ladies. Been following comments & reviews quite a while now. Had lipo 20 plus yrs ago for hips & was one of best decisions I ever made. Had a great butt for more then 20 years. 2 kids later & enduring lots off stress plus age I can find the time to work out. Did nutra system lost 10 lbs but now stuck. I had lipo( which included several kinds Vaso ect) this morning. Choose Dr. Peter Geldner...great reputation. I had hips, flanks, upper back... just a bit. Inner & outer thighs & knees. Surgery center people were awesome & of course my artist Dr. G. Made me feel at ease. I have issues with sickness from anesthesia which was addressed. I can't believe the amount I'm leaking! Fluid & blood. I hope it stops soon . Very sore are knees & upper back.., thank God for drugs. In compression garment & just walking slowly. I really hope my results are awesome.

Thanks so much for sharing your story! Are you experiencing a lot of swelling/bruising?

Just to clear up any confusion those were my pre surgery pictures. Saw my MD today and was prepared to see a lot of bruising.... to my surprise very little. Stomach way flatter already. Upper abdomen a bit puffy . Dr. Said to do massage ... I can hear the water squishing around when I rub it. Knees very swollen. Felt good to take a shower and incisions so tiny! Can't wait to see the continual improvement!

All I can saw today is OMG!!! Transformation is amazing!! Still swollen but actually close to 10# lighter then the day before surgery. My inner thighs are beautiful. Outer are better but still pretty swollen. Stomach a bit lumpy but still to be expected. I can't wait for my f/u appointment! Dr. Geldner is truly amazing.... I'm glad I did my research & chose him. My knees too!!! So excited I'm bursting... still sore though. Gotta go back to work tomorrow

Big mistake. First day back at work. Avoided pizza usually but Ate pizza today.... too much salt. Swelled really bad. Very uncomfortable Came home & put legs up. Went pee several times finally & swelling much better. Should have not strayed from Drs. Orders.... Low Salt!!!!!!

I was quoted $15,000 in northern California (SF area). In Southern California, they go by "zone", as in $1200-$1500 per zone. Every time they poke you its a "zone" and add that up. I also do not believe in cutting corners w/Lipo, it can be a bad scene if the PS is not experienced to the hilt.

You look great for only 2 days. Hopefully you can walk every so often to loosen the tightness and get blood circulating.

Best Doctor for Breast Augmentation hands down

As a exotic dancer, I see MANY boob jobs. Good ones and plenty of bad. For several years, anytime I worked with someone who had a great outcome from their surgery, I always asked who they went to as well as all the details about their experience. Every time I met someone with a great result, they always told ...

Axillary/bra Roll Lipo

I had a great experience at Downsize Lipo. Dr. Hennessy and Ms. Maureen were extremely kind and accommodating. Throughout the consultation, surgery, and post-op care, they were consistently patient, professional, and communicative. Recovery was easy, and my results are excellent. I would 100% recommend them.
