I am 18 years old and lost 15kgs when i was 15 years old, since then i have been working hard at the gym to tone up my body, most of which my skin bounced back to be tight to my body however my lower abdomen and inner thighs didn't seem to co-operate as much as i would have hoped. I felt horrible compared to my friends, i weighed less than them but looked larger because of my fat distribution. The only time i felt happy was if i lost more weight where i became very slim and flimsy with no feminine shape. The past year i became interested in weights training to produce a better shape for my body yet the excess fat in my thighs and lower stomach still made me uncomfortable.

I decided to have vaser liposuction after 6 months of consideration and research and i'm so glad i did. I had vaser lipo done on my lower abdomen and inner thighs done at the Double Bay clinic in Sydney by Dr Ajaka, it has been two weeks since my operation and my results are already exceeding my expectations and people are already commenting that i look like i lost weight and i haven't even fully healed yet and am still a little swollen.

Starting with the day of my consultation it was excellent i got all the information i needed and decided i was ready to go ahead with the procedure. Dr Ajaka showed me what he could do to my body and told me my options both surgical and non surgical explaining prices and dates. I settled for 2nd November, the day after i finished my HSC exams so i was healed and ready for my holiday in January.

Up until the day of my procedure i wasn't very nervous, mostly excited after reading lost of reviews and looking at before and after pictures. On my procedure day i was both nervous and excited as i was finally getting rid of the stubborn fat id held for a years. During the procedure i was under twilight sedation and I felt no pain at all during the 2 hours it took to drain almost a litre of fat from my body. I felt as though i was having dreams then waking up and remembering i was having a procedure. Following that i didn't take any pain killers at all i survived off panadol every 4-6 hours for about 5 days. I was surprised i could tolerate the small amount of pain i was in, it was more uncomfortable than painful.

It has now been two weeks since my procedure and my pain is now non-existant, bruising and swelling almost gone and i feel so confident. The hardest thing is definitely finding something to wear when i go out as i have to wear the garment full time under my clothes for 3 weeks full time and 3 weeks part time but thats a small price to pay for my amazing results.

My aftercare so far with Fernanda has been amazing and i have felt very taken care of from the day of my consultation and look forward to going back to the clinic for my massages to hear about my further improvements. The massages are part of the entire process. The lymphatic drainage massages are pain free and very relieving. I am starting my stronger massages next week as my scar tissue has started forming. These may be a little painful but again a small price to pay for the results i will enjoy for the rest of my life.

I will check back in soon to update my healing process but so far my results are incredible i haven't felt this confident ever in my life and cant wait to show off my body in summer.

3 days before my surgery!!! I'm nervous please tell me how painful it was when you got home that day/ night and how it was sleeping and how often you had to walk around, could u walk?
December 12, 2016
It wasn't too painful, I didn't take any pain killers at all but that may be different for you, if you need them take them, I could walk and move it just felt a little sore, sleeping was hard I didn't really sleep much the first 2 nights, I was told to move around as much as possible and no just stay sitting. Good luck !!!

I know but think how happy you'll be once it's done and it's such a small sacrifice and painkillers will help you along the way

Almost 3 weeks !!

Wow time has flown by so fast, my bruising is practically gone, my scars are so minimal, I look and feel so amazing.

I have another massage in 2 days and im really excited. This Saturday will be my first night out wearing jeans and a crop top (been stuck in 3/4 leggings and t-shirts to hide the garment) I can't wait to dress up and see how I look back in normal clothes.

I'm so amazed with my results and I'm not even half way to my recovery !!

I will get ahold of my Pre op photos and post them and then I'll post my updated photos I've taken so far.

I have to admit showering now is the best feeling when I think back to my first shower 48 hours post op, it wasn't easy that's for sure but these small sacrifices are totally worth it !

Did they put u under general anesthesia? Also how much fat was taken ? I'm getting it in 3 weeks. I am nervous
November 24, 2016
Yeah it was local anesthetic, I didn't feel anything I felt like I was having dreams then waking up then having another and it went by very quickly, I had about a litre of fat taken out all together. I was nervous aswell but it's nothing to be too nervous about, just think of the results you'll have in such a short amount of time, they give you a tablet to take the night before to calm your nerves
November 24, 2016
You look great! I was wondering the same thing someone else asked. Did you only do inner thighs(which look awesome!) your entire thigh looks better.
November 24, 2016
I only did inner thigh, it's deffinately altered my figure entirely ! :)
December 2, 2016
