One month!
WORTH IT$4,500
I'm really happy. I still have a little swelling which has shown in some parts being more swollen than others. This was totally worth it. Although it's not 100 perfect and I'm not the next Victoria's Secret model, I am so happy with my results! Can't wait to see three months down the line minus the swelling.

One week post-op
Got my stitches out today and ran a ton of errands. First time out of my house since last Wednesday! I am sore but the pain was bearable with no pain meds. Im back to work tomorrow so I hope I don't get tired or sore for sitting for an extended period of time. My sides are significantly more sore than my front. He said I have a lot of swelling so it will be great to see the final product because I'm already happy with the results. I've been sleeping on my back and I really miss sleeping on my side, so hopefully the pain continues to reside. I will post an update in a few weeks. For now I hope this helps. I'd strongly recommend! And if you are in LA, use dr George sanders!

You look great! Thank you for sharing your story!! How did you end up deciding on this doctor over others? How many did you see for consultations? I have seen 3, but can only fathom going to one because of his experience, credentials, and honesty about the procedure and expectations for the outcome. I am currently waiting to speak to a couple of his past patients, but I still feel like I should see a couple more doctors just to be certain. Thanks again!
I only saw one for a consultation. Luckily, my mom has been seeing him for years and he was the highest rated in my area by far. There were very few bad reviews out of hundreds of raving ones...sometimes you just have to trust what other people say, and judge based on how he makes you feel when he sees you in his office. My doctor was patient and very informative, made me feel comfortable. Never felt like he was rushing me out because he had other patients. And yes, my doctor was very honest as well...i have a sort of crease in my stomach that he said wouldn't go away (and hasnt) but i'm still seeing amazing results. Honestly-- YELP is great.
You look great already, nice flat stomach! Can I ask you about the crease on your stomach? Was it there before the surgery? I have one above my belly button that isn't really improving and I did not have pre op..will be asking my dr next week about it.
Like you im fairly then just can't shake the love handles so im having my flanks and knees done - im going in surgery in a Saturday early morning and returning to work the following Friday .. Do you think that's enough time ? I bartend

Day 3 Post Op
Looking better everyday! Feeling better today as well. Anyone know how to get the marker off?

The marker came off for me with spoap, sponge and some scrubbing with my nails! Although maybe my doc used a different marker. Lookin' good.
I will try this! My Dr. took out my stitches today and only said that it will come off with time. I hope he is wrong. He said I have a lot of swelling so results should start to look a lot better.
Strange how they use such different techniques. My stiches are supposed to get absorbed after two weeks.
Did he give you any idea when you get back to working out/yoga?
How's your sleeping been?
