I am a 25 year old mom of 2 little rascals. I decided to have lipo because I have always had issues with the way my body is shaped. I have "hip dips" and then I notice I carry my weight on my waist. I wanted to do this review because I only found ONE other review for this doctor on Realself. So I went in for my initial consultation in February. I met with the surgery coordinator who is AMAZING! So sweet and funny but knowledgeable and professional at the same time. She addressed my areas of concern and told me what type of results from the procedure. Once I told her that I wanted to proceed, she went ahead and did my blood work and scheduled a day for my procedure.
Oh and if I may also say every single person in their office and great! Incredibly pleasant staff to work with. Anywho, fast forward to the day before my procedure. They gave me 2 light sedative medications, one to take the night before and the other to take about an hour before the lipo. It made me pretty sleepy and calm lol. So the morning of, I had a light breakfast and headed to the office. I waited about 20 min and then was taking back to the consult room to be marked and gowned then on to the surgery room.
Dr.Sotomyer came in and explained everything in detail and made sure I was completely comfortable. Oh and I was awake through the entire thing. No pain really, just a strange uncomfortable feeling of the fluid being injected under my skin. It feels exactly like you think it would except no pain associated lol. Afterwards Dr.Sotomayer told me he was finished and that the nurse would come in and help me put on my garment which btw I purchase from their office for $80. She helped me squeeze into it and then off I went. So from start to finish it was about 4-5 hours.
With my procedure the doctor used the open drainage so a lot of the fluid drained out that night and a little the day after. I was pretty swollen the day after but I could still see good results. The Doc did give me a rx for pain pills but I'm not even going to fill it because I really have no pain. It feels exactly like when your muscles are sore after you haven't been to the gym in a while and finally go. I will post every week and update with pics.
