AWAKE Liposuction on arms and back 200+ pounds with tummy tuck and more lipo to come.

Hey yall, I'm 24 happily married for 4 yrs with a 2.5 yr old. Ive always been naturally thick with an hourglass figure but I've put on a few pounds since baby and wanted to take it off so I opted for awake liposuction on my arms and back. Hubby said I look beautiful as is (one of the many reasons I married him) but if its what I wanted hed support me. Surgery went well. I'm officially one 1 week post op and feeling good. Dr was and has been great pre/post op but he reason for me not posting him and saying I'm not sure about my results is because he was supposed to do my lower back and inner arms and it doesn't look like he did. I know he's a really reasonable guy and out of all the plastic surgeons I've worked with he is bu far the kindest but I'm not about to pay more for something that should have been done and even though I'm pretty sure he will fix it for free especially since I'm coming back in November for stomach and flank lipo, I still have worries in the back of my mind that he won't. I feel really swollen right now but am already seeing results. I know with any cosmetic procedure, especially lipo it takes AT LEAST 4 months to see true results so I'm hopeful that I'm already seeing a difference albeit minor. I have had many cosmetic procedures before including a breast augmentation when I was 19 and lipo when I was 21 so I kind of know how this goes. Today has been a lot better pain wise and I pretty much feel back go normal. There is a lot of swelling and brusing but overall I feel good. Pictures are from before the procedure to 5 days post. Will post more when I get the chance and will update my not sure when I see him fo get sutures out friday.

I was so high on pain meds when I wrote my last review that I forgot to add a couple of important details. 1. I'm 5'1 200 pounds 2. I totally forgot to post before pics which I will do today or tomorrow if I have time. (Full time SAHM and college student here) 3. I'll post my one month updare pics soon but for now you'll have to deal with a pic of me in the Venus treatment room. 4. I didn't really talk about the procedure and how it went. Dr Sundin was great throughout the entire process. He and his staff made me feel super relaxed and at ease before, during and after my procedure. I got LITTLE lipo or awake liposuction done but boy he definitely didn't take a little bit if fat out of me, he took 525 ccs out of EACH arm and 550 ccs of fat out of each side of my upper back. That's over 2100ccs of fat! He took his time, we were in there about 5 hrs, seriously. But the process was nearly pain free. I get super anxious about any type of procedure but Dr Sundin and his nurse Megan made me feel really at ease. I even watched Netflix throughout my procedure! Nothing is perfect and things don't always go exactly as planned but what really shows a dr and persons character is how they handle those things and dr sundin has been incredibly understanding about my concerns and everyone there has made me feel like family. About a month post op and I loove my results. Dr. Sundin addressed my concerns and was super caring about the loose skin and he's been giving me FREE Venus treatments on my arms and back to help with healing. Those are like 150 a piece and I'm already seeing a difference after my 1st treatment. (Will update as time goes on) I know I'm not starting from being super small but my results look really good for really anyone but definitely good for someone my size. I knew going into this I wasn't going to look like a barbie doll and didn't want too. Hence the name BODACIOUS barbie. I still have to talk to him more about the area on my front upper arm that I feel he didn't get but from the bit we've talked about it he's seemed reasonable about redoing that area. Ive had consults and plastic surgery since I was 16 in multiple countries and all over the US, and this is seriously the best experience I've had or could've asked for. Who would've thought in the middle of freaking Virginia Id find this gem.

As promised, my before pictures. Like I said above, Dr Sundin took 525 ccs out of each arm, thats almost 1200 ccs JUST in my arms. Then he took 550ccs out of each side of my upper back, thats like almost 2220 ccs just from 2 areas.
