If You Need a Leg Lipo, Dr. Su is Your Guy

WORTH IT
I searched for months to find a surgeon to specialize in legs. While most plastic surgeons can do liposuction, I needed someone skilled to deal with all the abnormal fat that I carry in my legs. I don't have lipedema either. I already had 1 surgery the year prior to "debulk" the fat but was always told I would need at least 2 surgeries.For my 2nd round, I found Dr. Su and he agreed to do a "knee complex" surgery to address all the fat that was sitting above my knee and contributing to my already terrible arthritic knee pain. I flew down to Tampa and his staff was amazing. I didn't have to worry about a thing. For the record, several months later I traveled with a friend who had plastic surgery with a Fort Lauderdale surgeon and that experience was terrible. Nothing like mine with Artlipo.You can know that Dr. Su and staff will take great care of you. I won't sugar coat things; being awake wasn't a cake walk. I was exhausted afterwards and it's not pain free but there is a benefit to being able to get off the table several times during the procedure so that Dr. Su can really analyze his work as he's going. He was honest and realistic about the results during the consultation, during the surgery and at the post op visit.He predicted I would probably need a knee lift after the swelling had gone down and sure enough, I do still need a little work but the results are remarkable and I'm really happy that I can wear leggings, and those damn skinny jeans that you can't seem to run from; something I have never been able to wear before and look like a normal person.

Wonderful result - you look great! I hope you enjoy shopping for new outfits :)
Thanks!
Wow!!! I cannot believe your results! I am so happy for you. It’s like you walked in with one set of legs and walked out with a completely different set! Thank you for sharing your story and pictures. It helps more people than you can even imagine. Happy healing!
Thank you!
You look great! Dr Su is going my lower legs in a few weeks!
Thanks. You will be in great hands with him and his staff.
Are you getting a knee lift? I would be curious to know where you get that done. I am a lot older than you. I have a really small amount of wrinkling after my knee complex lipo too. Not a lot of Drs do knee lifts. Let me know if Dr. Su recommended someone. It is possible Dr. Gruber does it.
I am definitely looking into it. Dr. Su said one of his patients had researched it and gave him the name Dr. Barry Eppley in Indiana. I don't want to have to travel again for surgury so I do have plans to ask my local Dr. who did my first lipo debulking procedure to see if he can do it. I didn't think to ask if Dr Gruber could do it but thats a good question.
How happy you must feel with that new shape :) the legs look great. I’ve seen Dr Su’s name pop up on a few forums online and his leg shape is great.
Thanks!
