So I have met with Dr Miami and loved him and his staff. I automatically felt comfortable.
I have always wanted this surgery - my thighs have always been my biggest insecurity. Even as a child I would never wear a bathing suit because of cellulite or my saddlebags.

I am 5'2 and about 135. My weight often fluctuates - annoying. And I have hypothyroidism. Even when I am at my smallest (107) I still have stubborn areas of fat that do not seem to budge!

I am hoping this surgery will help with my trouble areas. I would love a Kim K body (who wouldn't) but I feel it is realistic for my body type.

Anyway about it I am comfortable with the doctor I have chosen. I have seen his work and he is amazing.

My consult was scheduled for a week after I called & I made my surgery date at the consult! :-) consult was Jan.8th & my surgery is the 24th of this month. Quick process.

Did you have an in house consult? I called last week for a Skype consult because I'm out of state and they said they earliest was April 15th, and they're booking surgery dates in August.

I'm sure that's true. I did have an in house consult and the place was extremely busy!! Dr Miami is a hustler! Lol. My consultation was early January and originally my surgery was scheduled the last week of March but by chance there was an opening so I was able to switch :-)

You look great! I'm the same size and looking to get lipo on my abs, flanks and back fat. Where did they remove the fat from you? And we're you able to walk around after? I'm scared and not sure if I should do it

Thank you :-) I had lipo on my inner thighs, banana roll (which is under butt) stomach & flanks. I was able to walk... just with a limp, lol. I'm still healing. If it will make you happier - go for it :-) looking forward to hearing your journey!

Thanks!!! I'm still thinking about it ... Do you have areas that are lumpy that you have to massage out? I heard that happens

I'm a little lumpy but that's normal for the first week & they just drained me. The nurses said the massages aren't really necessary but can't hurt. Healing is annoying but the outcome will be *heart eye emoji* lol

My doctor sent out my clearance today! I am getting so anxious! I just want it to be surgery day already!!!

I just took my prescriptions to Walgreens & started using anti bacterial soaps as suggested & taking a multi vitamin.

i have friends who have had lipo and they have told me I needed massage packages - but my doctor & coordinator haven't told me anything about that. Is it necessary?

Oh, and today makes exactly one year since my breast implant surgery (they were done by Pazmino not salzhauer)! Anniversary for the tata's ????????

Most surgeons seem to think that massage can be helpful to reduce post-op swelling, but that it isn't absolutely essential to your results. If you have the money to spend, I'm sure it would be great to get a series of professional massages. In any case, you can do self massage (once cleared by your surgeon) several times a day using your hands, a massage device, or even a paint roller or rolling pin (for a lymphatic drainage and smoothing effect). YouTube has several videos showing how lymphatic drainage massage is done, and you could probably approximate the beneficial effects with self-massage.

Day of treatment

On my way!

ShellyxoxoFebruary 24, 2015
My surgery time is 2:30! So paper work & then surgery. I am starving, lol! I told my bff to have food waiting for me when I get out of my surgery.

I can't wait & I don't even know what to expect from my body! But I'm praying. Work that magic Doctor Miami! :-)
