WORTH IT$5,800
I chose to have liposuction on my chin, inner thighs, upper and lower abs, and love handles/flanks because I was sick of carrying around a spare tire and hating myself for it. Before kids I was always in great shape naturally, and that's what was so hard I guess cause no matter how hard I worked at it I couldn't get even close to my prebaby body.

Procedure and Recovery

I read a lot of posts and feel that maybe I could help someone who is considering liposuction by detailing my experience so far......
Dr. Robey put me under for the procedure which I was happy about. The hardest part was waking up totally out of it and nauseated. I saw results immediately especially in my chin and waist. I look younger which is always a plus!!! I had some pain, but nothing totally incapacitating. I was able to care for my two children 4 & 1.5 the next day. To describe the pain...something a little worse a really hard workout pain on day 2. I have some lumps which is to be expected. I bought a hand massager at CVS and use it work out the tight spots from time to time. I don't think lymphatic massages are necessary as I've seen posted by others a hand massager does great. I think pain in subjective and different for everyone, but for as much as I had done -I feel great. I had almost 4 liters of fat removed...so quite a lot! I also think that the fact that Dr. Robey is a licensed cosmetic surgeon has a lot to do with her skill. She's not a dermatologist or general practitioner...she actually went to school and trained to do this. Final results will take 6-9 months so I'm excited to see what my outcome is. For now I am trying to eat healthier and be conscious of my day to day decisions so as not to find myself in such a sad state again!!

Thanks, I have this set for the 30th of March and a cruise in May. I am scared to death that I wont be cruise ready but I like you am tired of the way I look and feel because of it. I was glad to hear you say you could really see some results and the pain isn't terrible. Teresa

The chin looks amazing. I want to do that too. How much fat total did they remove?

No 3.8 was from my whole body. I wasn't told what came from my chin. Thanks for the compliment:) I'm very happy. I have some numbness and a little sore lump but other than that its going good. I wear my head gear at night it get pretty hard to commit to having it on during the day.
