Aqua Lipo
After having a tummy tuck 5 years ago with a different surgeon, who wouldn't remove the fat above the waist, I was very unhappy with my figure. My pants are always falling down because I have no waist. This is the first time in my life that I need a belt for reasons other than style! So, I decided to have liposuction.
I looked around in my area for a surgeon and read good reviews for Dr. Kamran Azad at the Bassin Center For Plastic Surgery. However, after a consultation with one of the staff, I found out that Dr. Azad only did lipo under general anesthesia which I did not want. Dr. Bassin however, did aqua lipo without general anesthesia so I chose him. I have read a lot of reviews on Real Self about how painful liposuction is so I was prepared for a lot of pain. On the day of my liposuction, I was to take something to relax me and a Norco, one hour before the procedure. When I arrived, Julie, Dr. Bassin's nurse was all ready for me. She prepared me for the procedure and soon after I met Dr. Bassin. I had told him that I already had Sculpture (2 treatments) and CoolSculpting (2 treatments) and got no results so I am hoping to get good results. I really want to have an hourglass figure like I have seen so many ladies on RealSelf get (small waist and nicely shaped butt!).I had the Aqua Lipo on my upper stomach and flanks and had about 2500cc removed. A week from today, I will have my bra line done. I didn't feel much pain during the procedure, just a couple of times I felt a sharp prick. Julie would hold my hand and encourage me to take deep breaths. The procedure took about an hour and a half. After it was over, Julie helped me into the compression garment I brought with me, and soon I was on my way home. I made sure to take my Norco that evening and slept quite well.
