WORTH IT$20,000
The tables have finally turned in my favor! I am standing upright, the inner thighs have healed, breast soft, nipples perky and with sensation and (drum roll) stomach softer and much flatter. Yay! I've been in my compression garment for about 7 days and it definitely helps with my posture and helps minimize swelling. I also invested in an arm compression garment that's doing miracles with my upper arm lipo.It might just be my imagination but I see a much flatter and tines stomach in the horizon and a waistline waiting to be belted. I'll post pic with next update.

3 weeks post op

I had set (unrealistic) expectations for myself. I thought for sure I'd be walking upright, less swollen and certainly less uncomfortable. I somehow had these (too awful to post) blisters/burns to develop in my inner thigh area from the lipo and the pain was agonizing at best. I felt like a tick waiting to pop and nothing that I saw in the mirror excited me. I was told the massages I was getting locally were not effective due to the amount of hardness and fluid still present in all my surgical areas;
So needless to say I left this appointment feeling disappointed and overwhelmed. The good news is the tubes in my pubic area were removed. I had work to do and was determined to make sure my next visit would be more positive

Awesome Experience!

I've been reviewing real self for 2 years trying to talk myself into this procedure. Finally I scheduled a consult and a surgery date. The consult was thorough and Dr. Greco and staff answered questions I didn't even know to ask. It was and continues to be a 5 star experience. I'm only 5 days post op but I have no doubt that I am in great hands. To have Dr. Greco himself call to check on me EXCEEDS my expectations. I was repeatedly reminded that the first few days would be a beast and although I thought I was mentally prepared, these 5 days have been king Kong meets Godzilla tough. However, I am more uncomfortable than I am in pain.
