I'm literally blown away
WORTH IT$13,001
I had my procedure with Dr. Su today and am already absolutely blown away by my results. I can't wait to heal and see how they progress. I have stage 1 Lipedema and had liposuction of the calves and knee complex. Dr. Su is so kind, patient, meticulous and talented. His nurse Raechelle was also very patient and kind with me. I'm so thankful I was able to do this. I will write a more detailed review in the next coming days. In short, if you're considering dr. Su, just go for it. You will not regret it and it will change your life.

Almost day 3 post op.
My procedure finished in the late afternoon hours (5pm or so) so I am considering myself just shy of 3 days post op, since I’m posting this in the morning. Yesterday (day 2) I was able to shower for the first time since before surgery, and apply the dragons blood for the first time. I plan on taking my compression and applying more later this afternoon.
So far the worst part of this is the ankle swelling. They feel very full, stiff and swollen; especially on the inside of my ankles. Really hoping the swelling doesn’t get any more than this cause it feels like my ankles might explode lol. Another downside is having to sleep on my back with my legs straight, since I’m used to laying on my side with my legs bent. I’m getting up throughout the day every 30 mins to 1 hour to pee, move around and maybe do a small house chore here and there. Every few mins I try to move my ankles by flexing my heel back and forth to promote circulation and lymph flow. I’m also trying to keep my water intake high and stay as hydrated as possible.

Thank you! I will definitely continue to update, I really appreciated all of Dr. Su's patients who gave lots of detailed updates, so I'm hoping mine will help someone too! Did you book your surgery yet?

Leak discomfort will be around day 5-7. You’ll turn the corner around day 10. Don’t worry, you will heal completely and go back to normal. Will just take about two months for the vast majority of your healing to take place. Cankle-free life is worth it. You got this!

Thank you so much! I am just looking at the light at the end of the tunnel, a few weeks of being uncomfortable for a lifetime of relief!
