Hi dolls! So apparently, I created a profile years ago and totally forgot. Don't remember how but, I stumbled upon site a few months ago and I'm really happy that I did. So two months of research and backgrounds checks, I have decided to have my procedure with Dr. Enrique Hannabergh jr. I spoke to about six different Drs. In Miami, what set him a part from the others is the fact that he did a lot of procedures in what I wanted (I didn't want to go to a boob king or rhinoplasty guru for liposuction!). Also he had no lawsuits, came from a family of medical professionals, is accredited, great photos and great reviews. Ultimately! I got a nice vibe from him when I spoke to him on the phone. He was sincere, polite, patient, answered my many questions and really seemed like he cared. Alejandra his coordinator has been so amazing!! I know that I'm annoying but, she is so patient and knowledgable, I can't wait to meet them in person! I took the plunge today by putting down my $500 deposit and scheduling liposculpture of the arms, bra roll, upper and lower back, upper and lower abs, sides and flanks. Whew! Now...about me :) I am 29, no kids 5'7" 175lbs. I measure 39-32-40. My goal is to significantly reduce the size of my waist (take it all out!!) and have that nice curvy figure that I've always wanted. I'm hoping to reduce the size of my arms and have a nice sleek back. I hope that my contouring will give the illusion of hips and a butt, not interested in getting a BBL (even though I could use some extra booty lol). No prior procedures Oh and did I mention that my pain tolerance is non existant? *yikes*. I will travel from St. Croix and I am super excited!! I will be back next week with what I'm doing to prepare and also recovery house information. Thank you for reading and I hope that you enjoy taking this journey with me!

Mine is scheduled for early August but I'm a little worried, since I put my deposit down they are not nearly as responsive. I'm trying to not blow this out of proportion but has anyone else experienced that.

I pretty much asked everything that I needed to ask before I put down my deposit so I really haven't had to contact them since. Keep trying, it may just be an influx of patients

Call Alejandra seriously!!! I did...what a difference!!!

How exciting! As someone who got surgery for the same reason (wanted more of a curvy shape), I can tell you it is going to change your life! You'll feel great, trust me. Also, the lipo on your back may help make your booty stick out a bit more so a BBL won't be necessary :) Keep us updated!!

.... In my preparation I chose a recovery house....

.... In my preparation I chose a recovery house, I chose A new life recovery house. It was between them and Miami escape but, Miami escape said that they would not deliver me to my PS office free and that I would have to pay an extra $50 per trip or uber for my follow up. So, it was a no brainier to go with A new life, they have great reviews, $1,000 for three days it's pricey but, it comes with a lot of the things that I would have to purchase anyway (arnica, lipo boards, 3 free massages, laundry, meals and more). when I added it up (everything that is included) it was a better deal than Miami Escape so it all worked out. I was also told that if I pay $1,000 in full I will get four extra massages! As, I said on my other review, I am traveling so I will stay in a hotel for 5 days after I leave the recovery house. I found a great deal at comfort suites for $83 per night and it isn't too far from the PS office. I haven't paid for it yet though so if any of you dolls want to split a room and save some cash, hit me up!I reposted my before pics and added some wish pics as well :) do you think it's realistic?

I think your results are going to depend on how much fat can be taken out of your flanks. Your hips aren't very wide so you may not get the dramatic hourglass-type shape, BUT your waist WILL be more defined! You'll have a curve on the sides and it'll make you look fabulous! I'm excited for you!

a million questions

User Avatar

Hey dolls, So I asked a heap of questions while I was interviewing my PS and Alejandra. For your benefit I put the responses that I can remember and that I think we're really important. If you don't see a particular questions, put it in the comment, I may have asked but forgot to add it here. Note, the responses are from my memory, they are not direct quotes. **Where will the incisions be? A: incisions will be inconspicuous and will be easily covered by underwear. No incisions in places like front of the stomach etc. **Can i take arnica or bromelin? A: yes, they do not interfere with the surgery and can be taken a few days before and after the procedure. **I am getting my arms and full abdominal done, which areas will you focus on? A: I will not be too aggressive on the arms because if too much fat is taken out, it can cause loose skin and abnormalities. As much fat as possible will be taken from the waist! The goal is to sculpt you and ensure that you will have beautiful natural results. **What makes me a good candidate for liposuction? A: your age and you do not appear to have sagging skin, cellulite or stretch marks (I do actually have stretch marks but none on my abdomen) **I am traveling, how long will I have to stay in Miami A: at least one week. (I will stay for 15 days) **Do I have to have massages after the procedure. A: Yes, lymphatic drainage massages are recommended from as early as the 2nd day. I would recommend having about 5-7 massages in total. **what type of liposuction do you perform? A: traditional liposuction with small cannulas so you will not have large incision scars. **do you insert drains for liposuction? I read that drains will decrease infections and seromas. A: no, drains are not typically done for liposuction. Drains are uncomfortable and are typically only used for more intense procedures like TT and BBL. the massages is what will help you to heal better and drain the fluid so you will have a lower chance of infections. Less than 8% of my patients develop seromas. **do you recommend a recovery house or nurse. A: you have to have someone pick you up right after surgery, we will not release you to a cab. I can not answer wether to go with a recovery house or nurse because I am not versed in that area. However, you must ensure that you have someone to take care of you right after surgery. You will have a one day follow up to ensure that everything is going well. ** if I do stay in a recovery house, how long will I have to stay A: three days is sufficient time for the recovery house, after that you can stay in a hotel. I really asked a lot more questions but, this is what I can remember right now.

Great questions!! I would also ask to see examples of the doctor's work on someone with a similar body type, if possible. It will help give you a realistic idea of what to expect. Also, I think the lymphatic massages are ideal! I wish they would have recommended those to me early on as well.

Wow, thank for such a thoughtful post. I am scheduled to have a tt with Dr. Hanabergh on the 26th. Did he say if he will do muscle repair with the tt? Again, thank you for sharing your experience.
