I am 5'2 currently 164 pounds but normally 155ish
Would love to get to 145 but it is getting harder and harder the older I get.
I work out 4 to 5 days a week. I am healthy and active
So far I have had 1 consult and I really like the doctor. He wants to use PAL or power assisted and general anesthesia with an overnight stay
He said he will take 5 to 10 liters of fat from these areas but was very realistic about the dimpling and the
amount of cellulite on my legs etc and the skin elasticity of my arms
I will likely need full brachioplasty if I don't want the saggy arm skim so
at lease he is honest which I really like
and I love that he is willing to do a larger volume
I have one more consult this coming Wednesday with a doctor that does Vaser so I will keep you all posted

3 months pre
2nd consult
So I went in to consult with the PS that does Vaser today. This PS I really like. I have been to him before and I like him. (I did not mention this yet but I had a tummy tuck ) almost two years ago
by him. He really knows what he is talking about and seems to have more experience but basically said he would not do large volume because I don't have good skin elasticity in some of those areas I want lipo in Like my arms
and legs. He would do some but he said a thigh lift may be more for me.
He spent a lot of time with me and answered all my questions honestly
What to do what to do
Because of being a former patient the consult was free and I am supposed to get a really big break
on the work he wants to do
I will let yall know when the estimate comes in the mail
Oh and I scheduied Juvederm with him Juvederm and botox for April 2nd

It is my understanding that it is not safe to take more than 5,000 at any one time. I would check that out before I jeopardize my health .

8 days pre
After a lot of thought I have decided to go back to my old ps and give vaser a shot
I booked my lipo for 6/3 $ 5600
He will do lightly on my much hated arms ,hips, touch up on my lower abdomen
I say touch up because i had a tt 2 years ago almost to the day of this scheduled lipo ans I am getting a repeat customer discount
It was 1800 for the surgical fee?. 1800 for the arm area and the hips abdomen touch up area $500 because I had some light vaser with my tummy tuck two years ago. Oh and $ 1300 for aesthetician.
Anyway that was the price breakdown. I a tt review a couple years ago but couldn't seem to figure out my log in to repost on the one so I am creating a new one.
I am 5 '2 Currently 162 but I generally stay around 156 ish in the summer
I am wondering if I am wasting money and should just hit the gym really hard to do it on my own. I called the doc thinking about canceling feeling quilts and he ask me to come in and chat about it so I go in two days the same time as my pre op appointment .
I will repost then and let you all know how it's going

Removing 5-10 litres sounds radical. I had 3L removed and am having a tough recovery. From what I've been reading, the more fat is removed, the harder the impact on our health. You don't look overweight in your photos, so you might want to have procedures that will fine tune what you have. Good luck!

Yes I agree
8 liters would have been everything but I still think that is a bit much also
My other ps is pretty conservative and I guess less really is more

Many states mandate that no more than 5 liters can be removed at one liposuction session because of health concerns. Please take care and keep us informed.
