How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

2 weeks
I went to the doctor today for my 2 week visit. I had some oozing and burning pain under my left arm. I guess I bent my arm the wrong way or something because a stitch opened up and I have a small infection. So that sucks but the rest of me is fine. Pain is minimal now. Bruising is pretty much gone. The scar down my arm is really small and thin. I thought it would be a lot worse but it's not that bad and it's only going to get better as it heals more. So hopefully that small infected area will heal fast and I'll be able to get the rest of my stitches out. The doctor said I won't be able to work out for about 4-6 weeks. Can't wait to heal and get back on track with my diet and working out again.
Ouch
Hard to move around today. Had to sleep on my back again which I really hate. I'm so sore. My arms really don't hurt as much as my belly, but they do burn and feel swollen. My belly burns pretty bad. I have some huge hips and major bruising right...so swollen. I hope that is normal. I have not removed the abdominal binder or arm sleeves yet. I hope the swelling goes down and I get better soon because this is kind of miserable. I'll post pics once the bruises fade a little. Right now it is pretty bad.
Day 1 post op
Liposuction on my abdomen/flanks hurts more than the brachioplasty. The abdomen pain is just a burning sensation. The arms I only have pain in the armpit. That pain is also a burning feeling, but it is bearable. I thought I would be in a lot more pain than I am.
I just had my day 1 follow up and I can see that I am very swollen, but I see how much smaller my arms and belly look already. No regrets as of yet. I'm very happy I chose Dr. Tushar Patel. He is very kind and informative.
