I think overall, it was a good experience. The surgery is the easy part, the recovery is the hardest. I’ve had a lot of ups and downs throughout my recovery but I am glad I did the surgery. I am considering more lipo but I don’t think I will go back to Avana.

I’m thinking about going to Dr. Dress. Do you recommend him?

Honestly, I can only recommend him for lipo. I've seen some hit or miss results with bbl and tummy tuck and I don't like the results I've seen for breast aug. He does a really good job with sculpting with lipo 360

I think he did a good job but I would honestly prefer a more personalized experience. I didn't have major issues but I had some uneven spots that I am having a hard time getting addressed with them. You literally see the doctor for 10 minutes throughout the entire process, no follow up or anything

This was 5 days post op. I have been taped for 1 full day and hoping that it helps my skin retract. So far so good. I have also removed my drain and began using lymphatic drop to help with swelling. I will post again shortly to show how my body looks after the taping.

Do you feel as if the arm lipo was really good?

It was definitely worth it but you have to compress for a few weeks after

You look great! Could you share a little bit more about your overall experience with this practice and the doctor? How was follow up afterwards and post op care?

So I finally feel comfortable enough to reflect on my experience. I m 5 days post op of lipo360 with arm lipo and a cell saver. My procedure was done by Dr. Dress. I was hesitant to go with him because I couldn't find any of his work or review. Before I go into my experience, I will tell you all to do your research. The experience itself was complete shock. I decided to go to Miami to have surgery because of their pricing and it just looks like they're doctors are a lot better with body contouring. I'm my hometown, the same procedure is about 12k more than what I paid. My results are amazing compared to my body prior to surgery. My experience at the clinic however, was sub par and I didn't feel as safe as I should have.

A lot of people go for the cheaper rate but get terrible aftercare esp if they have problems. You look great though. Take care. Can't wait to see your final results. Happy continued healing dear.

what is a cell saver?
C

It preserves your blood. My hemoglobin was a little low, and I was scared to lose a lot of blood, so adding that makes them retain the healthy blood.

what was your blood count before surgery because i have same issue?
C

My hemo was 9, so I took iron for about 2 months and it went up to 11.2. They required the cell saver for anything under 12

You really look good. Don't look swollen at all and the body was contoured perfectly I almost thought you had a bbl
