One year has passed and I can't say I regret it but nothing is a quick fix ladies. I had a lot more complications than I anticipated. Sadly, no one is warned prior and after following other doctors on social media, I know a little bit more. Always ask! I have an u detective thyroid I'm still trying to level out so that's not helping with my scale numbers **************current measurement********* bra: 37 waist 31 hips are 44 That is one year later. I can fit into size 30 pants but it's tight on my hips. I have a dent under my belly button area from too much liposuction in a certain area. That's disturbing to me so when I go for my breast augmentation, I'll have to do more lipo sculptures to my front and back and hoping they can fix the areas that are uneven. Hope this helps everyone. I'm still getting lymphatic massages because swelling is still around. Not to scare anyone but things happen.

Measurements

*****This was written back in 12/2016 but never updated***********************************I didn't mention my measurements last time.
8 months post op:
Hips: 45.5 waist: 32 bra: 36

I've been beating myself over gaining a few pounds about 10 to be exact because I've been dieting and I'm a gym rat but I found out last week that I have an under active thyroid so that did not help me with losing weight either. I was put on meds to get that working again so hopefully I don't struggle so much to lose the extra weight.

I still have swelling going on especially in my legs. I still get lymphatic massages 1-2 a week and the last month I've finally seen a big difference because if I miss a session, I don't look like I have tree trunks for calves anymore. I finally see my bones in my lower legs.

I'm going back to Dr. Jonathon Fisher in the next few months to get a breast augmentation. It was scheduled for 2 weeks but with the thyroid issue, my internist won't clear me for surgery.

Originally, it was supposed to be Dr. McAdoo but he isn't there anymore. I paid Vanity for both procedures (BBL and breast augmentation) last year. I have done my research and Dr. fisher is an excellent Doctor so hoping he can scoop some more fat out of my waist.
Dr. McAdoo is very good because he gave me a waist and improved my shape. However, I have some dents of unevenness in my lower abdomen from too much lipo in certain areas.
I'm really hoping the unevenness can be corrected because it's kind of embarrassing to look at.

***My biggest regret is doing lipo in my inner thighs because my legs look as if nothing was done and actually look bigger than before. The only reason I know he did something in that area is because I have scars on the incision sites. Don't waste your money on that!***

My lymphatic drainage massage therapist says too many lymph nodes are located in the inner thighs that can get damaged and cause water retention. (Problem I'm going through now)

I'm not thrilled with my mid section lipo results (I'm debating round 2) but my butt is definitely bigger.
