I thought long and
D hard about this for two years. Went back a d forth in my head wu pith thoughts such as you can use this money for something else or you are too old to do lipo. I wanted breast implants as we'll but that did not make it through my self talk debate. Only told three people and they happened to be my sister and two co workers. Did not want to hear what others thought especially after I had made my mind up. I went with Dr. RICARDO Rodriguez in Baltimore. Yale trained doctor. I thought he was pricey but I like his philosophy on liposuction and he is very experienced. As you do your research you will find that price is not going to get you good results. The hands and skills of the doctor is more important. I was pleased overall. Day of surgery I was nervous to the point where I had already started imaging all the things that would go wrong. Surgery went well. Was sore for two days and draining a lot for one day. No complications. No nasuea. Unfortuntley, the doctor has forbidden showered or peeking until the first appointment which is tommorow. Will post some pictures after that. I will say you only live once do what makes you happy and forget others.

Sorry for the typo's in my first post.

Got the funky foam pad removed, staples removed and got another compression garment. Yea! So got a chance to see my body. All I can say is wow! After five days I see a big difference! I will post pictures after I get out the shower tommorow. This doctor is the truth. He contoured the hell out of my upper body. He lipo around the flanks and bottom of butt to give the illusion of a bigger backside. I can't even wait to see the final results after the swelling goes down. No lumps and my stomach is smooth!
