WORTH IT$18,800
I have had 2 children - one is age 3 (natural) and the second is age 1.5 (c-section). I want my body back. I am having my inner/ outer thighs, lower/ upper abs, bra line, flanks and chin liposuctioned (tumescent) along with a breast lift (and reduction of one breast). I am 5'7" and 135 lbs pre-surgery, although that is 10 lbs heavier than my normal/ ideal weight.

I also had my knees lipoed. I haven't figured out how to edit previously entered posts, but wanted to add that.

Made it!

I had my surgery yesterday morning. It took 7 hours. While I thought my breasts would be the most sore from the reduction and lift, the pain is nothing compared to the excruciating pain from the liposuction. My pain is normal, but due to the fact that I literally had my entire body liposuctioned, it makes the pain exponentially worse. My pain meds were switched from Norco to Percoset thankfully, which has helped. I have found that the hardest thing it getting up after resting. If I am walking around, I feel better, but after laying down, getting up and moving is absolute torture. Still need to post my before pics. I have one of those body far percentage scales and even though I gained almost 15 lbs from the saline/ IV fluids, my body fat percentage was reduced by 7%! I got a quick peek at the doctor's office today and am already loving the results.

Glad you're doing okay. I too had significant lipo (along with a bilateral reduction and abdominalplasty. I'm two weeks out (on Tuesday) and you are so right! The lipo is the most difficult part for me too. Especially along my upper thighs and belly. Burns! Hope you have a quick and steady recovery.

Thank you! When did you start feeling better? Getting in and out of bed is absolute torture right now!

WOW, a 7% loss in Body Fat is so amazing, I would be in heaven if I were you!! I have one of those devices that is handheld that tells me body fat...I was thinking though it would be totally off if I tried it later due to the amount of fluid in my body post procedure....

Forgot to add that I had 3,000 CCs of fat removed. I have never been in so much pain in my life, but am looking forward to the end result.

Oh no, I'm so sorry but I know it gets so much better with each passing day. Try to rest and sleep as much as possible so you can experience less pain, although I'm sure the doc also wants you up and moving around...and wow, I was looking at all the areas that were done and that is a ton for one day. BUT, you will have ONE recovery so perhaps you will look back and confirm that was the best decision....

Thank you! I am already very happy with my decision. I wish I had done my arms too. A close friend of mine went through the same exact surgery three days before me. It has been nice to have someone to go through this with. She had her arms done and said that it was the most painful part of all of it though.
Good luck this week- can't wait to hear how it all goes. We'd love to see your before pics while you wait for your surgery day.
Perfect thanks!
