10/10 Experience with Dr Su and Chelsea!
I had the best experience with Dr. Su! I read through a ton of these reviews in the days leading up to my surgery because I was so nervous, so here is my experience to hopefully ease someone else’s nerves! So far I absolutely love my results and can’t wait to see how everything looks once I am totally healed!
The day of surgery I didn’t know what to expect with having the procedure done awake, but it went so smoothly and was relatively painless. My nurse Chelsea was amazing and made me feel so comfortable and taken care of the whole time. First, she brought me back into the treatment room and had me change into the provided clothing to wear during the surgery. She then took my vitals, and I mentioned to her that I had a headache because of the no caffeine the day of surgery rule. She immediately grabbed me a Coke to make my headache go away and turned on the bed warmer because it was cold in the room. She explained every step of the process so I would know what to expect when the procedure started.
After a few minutes Dr. Su came in, went over everything that we were going to do again, and marked my legs. Then I laid down on the bed and he injected lidocaine in the areas where the incisions would be. This was super quick and was probably the worst part of the whole thing, and it still wasn’t anything terrible. You could just feel the little poke of the needle and the lidocaine stung for about 3 seconds when it was going in. Then he made the incisions which I didn’t feel at all, to the point where I didn’t even know how many incision points there were. Next, he used the cannula to inject more lidocaine all under the skin. This wasn’t painful, more just uncomfortable and weird feeling. After waiting about 20 minutes for the lidocaine to fully kick in the procedure started. I had my knee complex done, so I think it only took about 10 minutes per leg (at least that’s how long it felt, I could be wrong). This part was totally painless and I could just feel pressure and a strong vibration. There was a small area that I could tell wasn’t as numb as the other areas, so I told Dr Su and he added more lidocaine, then I couldn’t feel anything at all for the rest of the treatment. Overall I was super pleasantly surprised by how easy the whole thing was.
Fast forward to when I was at home afterwards. I would say for the rest of the night I was only in about a 3/10 discomfort if that. I laid down with my legs up for most of the day, so that is a 0/10 pain. The only time I felt uncomfortable was when I had to get up to use the bathroom. I had a somewhat intense burning sensation when standing, but Chelsea prepared me for this and said it’s expected so I knew it was coming. I also felt slightly shaky and lightheaded, but as soon as I laid down again it went away. That was it for the rest of the night, and I slept fine with the pain medication. I just set alarms to take it every 4 hours as directed to stay ahead of any pain.
As I’m writing this it is the evening of my first post op day. This morning I wasn’t in any pain but my knees just felt stiff and sore. Once I walked around for a couple minutes that feeling loosened up. I took my last pain pill at around 6:30 this morning, and my follow up appointment was at 10. Chelsea helped me take off the compression garment, clean the skin, and put on a new garment. I have just been relaxing on the couch ever since and taking Tylenol as needed, and that has been sufficient for the soreness. Similar to yesterday, I don’t feel anything when laying or sitting down. When I stand I don’t have the burning anymore, it just feels stiff and I can tell more swelling is setting in. That is it so far, but I will continue to update with my experience!
