Liposculpture journey, No kids, 26 Yr Old, 170 Lbs - Miami, FL

Hello dolls!

So I've always been considering liposuction since i've always felt unconfortable of certain areas in my body. I absolutely hate my love handles and as much as i work out it never goes away!! Also the back fat when u wear a bra or bathing suit top, i would always have to push it down to try and hide the back fat. Itl could only shop for a certain style of clothing, like those maternity tops or high wasit jeans to compliment body. And i know i'm young and everyone keeps telling me not to do it because i havent had kids yet. But i want to enjoy my bosy now before having kids! I think its that time. Only i know what i'm going through, and my lack of confidence has gone completely low ever since i gained weight and nothing fits me anymore. This summer i dont want to be that girl covered up in the beach! I use to weigh 140 and now i've gone up to 170 in a matter of 2 yrs.

So originally i had set up a surgery in Dominican Republic with Alejandro Hernandez, his work is awesome! But i didnt have a place to stay out there and hotels were pretty pricey. He quoted me $4000 - for full back & love handles. So i decided to do it in Miami since i have a customer living in Orlando and i could heal in her place with no extra cost.

After careful research i came across Dr. Salas, I spoke with one of the coordinators names Arialy. She was very friendly and helpful. Since i obly gave them a two weeks heads up for surgery they asked for pictures right away to give me a price quote. After i sent them photos. They priced me for $4,800 for liposculpture on full back, love handles, arms, and abdomen. Which is not a bad price at all!

My surgery date is May 6, and i'm suppose to give a down deposit today of half the amount. Super anxious and nervous at the same time!

I'm attaching some photos of how i would like to look like.

So the day has finally come. The day i got to meet with my surgeon and Ana the coordinator. Ana was super sweet brought me to a room to finish paying off the othee half of the balance and give me pre op instructions and sign my life away! She gave me the basic instructions which they email you no drinking, smoking or eating before midnight. And then she struck me with bad news that i needed a follow up the very next day for 5 days straight that i cant go back home. With that said i had more out of pocket expenses and less than 24 hrs to book a hotel and driver for 5 days not including the faja and massage package that was mandatory. So after paying off my remaining balance i had to come up with $350 for 5 massages, $350 for driver to take me to clinic and hotel when needed, $60 garment which is NOT included. Ana referred few cheap hotels close by that i looked into afterwards. I was able to get a hotel 5 mins away for $480 for 4 nights. Sometimes you have to be prepared for the unexpected. I had to prepare my mind n body that i was going to be without any support or nurse the first days of healing. But there was no turning back.

So my surgery was scheduled for 6:30 am! I followed all the instructions given and i barely slept. Anxiety and nervousness all night and unending prayers for strength. So i was up and ready by 5am. I was the first person in the clinic. They had me sign in and soon after my name was called. I had to give my farewells to my cousin who accompanied me with her boyfriend. They wished me good luck and reality started hitting me. I had one of the nurses escort me to a room to put all my stuff down undress into a gown and pee in a cup for pregnancy test. Once that was completed she had me sign more paperwork of all the areas being treated and permissions for surgery. Also a young nice guy came into the room to introduce himself and let me know he will be assisting with surgery and asked me medical history questions. He also told me as soon as anestesia kicks in i wont remember a thing and they will wake me up once done. That i will feel a bit of discomfort but the doc will prescribe me painkillers. Afterwards Dr.Salas walks in and asks me if im ready for surgery. Very confident i respond yes, he says great and has me take my gown comoletely off for photos. He then marks my body on the areas he will be sculpting and takes additional photos. Once done the nurse takes more photos with her camera and aaks me to put my gown back on and hands me a hair cap, compression socks and booties for the feet. After applying each one the nice young guy comes in and escorts me to the surgery room where they have music playing to have me relaxed. He settles me in the middle of the bed and starts putting the anestesia in while the nurse is strapping my arms n legs to the bed (kinda freaky). After that i was zoned out. All i remember was waking up in a recovery room trembling in a cold metal bed with nothing on. I felt extreme pain in my abdomen area. There were two nurses there to wake me up, give me a glass of apple juice and help me turn sides to put my garment on. There was bleeding everywhere. All i kept thinking was thk god i make it. I just kept thanking god for helping me pull through. I noticed the doctor left the drain on something he didnt promise me he was gonna do. All of a sudden i hear my cousins voice in the room and i was relieved. The nurse was teaching her how to change my drain and where to meet me with the car for when they escort me out. In less that 10 mins i was walking out of the clinic. The pain was tolerable it was more the constant bleeding that was annoying. My garment and clothes were drenched in blood. The nurse escorts me outside and helps me get in the car face forward And legs up. Off to the hotel i go.
