Liposuction of flanks, abdomen, and bra line after CoolSculpting gone wrong.
WORTH IT$6,200
I had tumescent liposuction on March 20th to help with abnormalities caused by CoolSculpting.
Dr. Harris removed almost 3 litres of fat from my abdomen, flanks, and bra line. Despite needing this procedure thanks to my lack of research and a crappy tech, I’m really happy with my results at 5 days post op.

The Itchy weeks: Just a quick update
I’m a week and a half post op today and things are going really well.
The first 2-3 days were pretty brutal, I’m not going to lie. I was incredibly sore (I’m allergic to ibuprofen and narcotics so no pain killers for me) and uncomfortable. My incisions leaked a lot in the first day and a half and really slowed down by the end of day two. Since day 4ish I’ve just been slightly sore but it’s actually been pretty easy since the first few days. Other than the flipping itching! Not my incisions, just all over the treated areas. I’m assuming it’s my nerves waking up but wow is it ever itchy. It’s not as bad as it was a few days ago but I’m still frequently itchy.
I had to order a new faja garment from amazon because the one provided by my doctor is basically an abdominal wrap and a corset top and they are constantly shifting around and the areas that are supposed to be compressed aren’t always being covered by the garments because of the shifting. Ill post a picture of what I was given by my doctor. I do have a lot of hard swelling lumps but I’ve also been really active, probably more than recommended.

That’s a lot of bruising or burns. Did he use smart Lipo?

It’s bruising. I’m almost two weeks post op now and the bruising is essentially gone. It wasn’t smart lipo so no burns.

Ok great. I’m having my stomach and flanks done in Toronto in a few weeks. It’s so much more expensive here. Wish I could get your price.

Who is your surgeon? I did a lot of consultations to find the right fit in the right price range. There were some cheaper in the Mississauga area but I would be sacrificing on expertise which I didn’t want to do. Dr Harris was reasonably priced, incredibly knowledgeable, and his results show his skills and competence so I completely trusted him to be the right surgeon for the job. I did consult with Dr Mulholland but while I found him to be skilled, I thought Dr Harris was just as skilled for a better price and close to Toronto in Burlington.

You are looking fabulous!! Can really see improved shape and flatter tummy. I’m pretty sure the lumps and bumps are inevitable...just gotta massage and drink lots of water and stay active to help flush your system. It kinda sucks because being active means more swelling but I think it has to get worse before it gets better. Thanks for sharing your journey!

I have a similar body type and looking at this same procedure. Can you tell me what you paid ?

Two weeks post op
I was officially two weeks post op on Wednesday. The swelling has gone down a ton, I have no pain (other than tender to the touch), the itching has finally stopped, and I’m feeling capable of doing my usual activities. I’m really happy with my results so far. I feel like I’m way more confident and I’m doing things that I wouldn’t have ever considered before simply because I was uncomfortable in my body. While the first like 3 days sucked big time and I was like nope would not recommend (and I have a high pain tolerance, I once fell asleep getting a rib tattoo) now that I’m passed that stage I feel like it’s worth it. A few crap days to feel the confidence I do now is worth it.
