I'm excited to take advantage of this opportunity to make a change for me! I'm an accomplished 37 year old african american female that would like to have the body image to fit along with my success. I plan to get Liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, bra area, inner/ outer thighs, and hips along with Brazilian Butt Lift!

My goals are: Profound S shape curves w a heart shape buttock to look nice in my business attire.

I'm graduating from Graduate School and Im a small business owner

I've considered this for a a out 2-3 months as losing the inches myself has been hard do. Along with all my obligations.

My personal feelings are I've choose. A more than qualified physician to give me the results I'm looking for. I believe in him and he has a personable staff!

Good luck on your procedure. Can't wait to see the after pics. Are you having general or local anesthesia? Nervous any?

I am so glad I found this website! I too am an African American woman looking to make some changes to reflect how I feel on the inside. My concern is scarring and the possibility of keloids to occur. If you discussed this with your doctor I would like to know his thoughts. Good luck and I can't wait for updates later in the month!
January 19, 2013
I did ask him about scarring and keloids. I do not tend to keloid, but my doctor made 2 incisions in my pelvic area and one in my navel. Because of their hidden nature, I cannot see any keloids or scars.

So it's one hour until I'm driven over to the surgery center by Ash$ and Queen Ro my do girls.....they are here to give support during my time of recovery. The doctor said I will need some one to stay with me the first day post op. I'm not sure what to expect as so many people has said I'm going to feel like a train, plane or automobile drove by and knock the holy crap out of me! oh well if thats the price you pay for a new real self may the MVA begin.
I'm very confident about my procedure and my choice I've made with Dr. Liland, he was very knowledgeable in his explanations and patient teaching during the consult. He even explained the processes and the recovery periods and the expectations.
He seemed very focused and thoughtful of my opinions!

Have you seen any of the results with Dr. Liland? How do you know if he will give you the results you are looking for? I am asking because I am doing the BBL and TT but not sure what doctor I am going with. I live in Texas as well and would like to consider doctors in Texas but haven't found any that do great work.

He does great work and his office was packed with retuning patients. I'm proud to be his patient.

January 23, 2013
Can't wait to see some pics. Fainted??? oh my. Is that normal, do you know?
January 23, 2013
how much CC's were taken out?
User Avatar
January 23, 2013
Surgery was normal, no complications and Dr Liland said it was great. He removed 5500 cc of fat. I went for my follow up today and he re sutured my buttock stitches cause I fainted yesterday after toileting. See the anesthesia don't ware off as fast as you think that's why you need a person to stay with you always. After faint spell I crawled to bed and took some Tylenol x strength and slept away. I would called the faint spell ortho hypertension I sat a while on toilet and when I stood up it was a dizzy spell. I dropped to hands and feet but I was ok. It scared my sister cause my eyes rolled, she said it was like the matrix. I'm doing good, I'm up and at it, I think the pain Meds is what complicates the process! If you can go without them your better off. I will upd

wow that's a huge amount. I had 4000CC. But went for my 1 week Dr appt and had a small seroma so took out another 40cc..Ouch Ouch. Then had a ultra sound massage. I think I feel a bit better today. Changed all my pain meds. The hospital pain meds worked so well. No pain. But coming off I have had to adjust 3 times.

I can't believe you are up and getting dressed. I am so happy for you!! I can't wait until its my turn. I know it's still very early, but are you considering any more procedures?
User Avatar
January 24, 2013
I've been pushing myself to get better, I also purchases an abdominal binder to help with the countouring of my abdominal area. Its not that bad if you start getting up ad going. The more you sit and lay around the worse off you wind up getting. I can only speak to my experience but I think it was a great idea. I'm excited to see the results after the swelling begins to subside. Im have no plans in the future for any other procedures, Im going to hit the gym and make a believer out of myself.
January 24, 2013
What abdominal binder did you get?
User Avatar
January 26, 2013
It's a white abdominal binder that generally used to help with c-section patients.
January 25, 2013
I have a full body , back , to the knees CG. It is super binder. Not too tight. Doctor said to wear it 24/7 for 1 month. Julliette how much do you ice. It would take a long time to ice everything. I went for 1 more ultrasound massage and they gave me special cream just for after lipo. Use 2x a day. Has V-K and lots of oils including arnica. They said it really work. Doctor had me showering everyday and yes I have been trying to walk more. Did d alot of Home Depot today at least an hour.

Is there a garment that you recommend? I don't think I'll be able to get my garment back on after taking it off.

Are you swollen in the lipo treatment areas? I'm swollen in legs, and flanks are sore.

Yes you will you have to get assistance and wiggle into it!

Yes I'm swollen and I also don't see any change at all. I'm starting to get concerned. Doctor says to be patient. But I think I should at least see a little something.
