HELP !!! LIposuction in Montreal Canada or Columbia? - Montreal, QC

ORIGINAL POST

Hello, I am finally doing liposuction on my back,...

WORTH IT$8,500
Hello, I am finally doing liposuction on my back, arms, and stomach. I am not a big girl i am 5feet and weight about 118 pounds. I am debating on doing the surgery in my city montreal canada or going over seas to columbia. I know in columbia I will get the results I want because the doctors know exactly how to sculpt the perfect body. I rather do it in montreal because i get anxiety just thinking of going to far to get surgery. I guess my question is, would I get the same results if I do it in montreal because I will spend more than triple the money if I dont go to columbia. Another question I had is the doctor in columbia says you have to get a special type of massage after your liposuction, and the doctor i spoke with in montreal told me I dont need to do any massages after the surgery. I just want to make sure i make the right decision!!!
Columbia: lipo for arms,back, stomach, and fat transferred to my butt total cost $3000US
Montreal Canada: ONLY back and stomach $8,500 CAN

I I decided to do it where I live just because I'm scared to travel to another country for a surgery. I just hope I will get the results I want because I know the doctors in columbian are amazing at what they do, the doctor here in Montreal Canada told me I don't need to touch my sides "flanks" he said I only need my full abdomen and the sides of back, but I'm scared that I won't get the waist that I want if he doesn't touch my sides, I do want a different shape in that area, I'm so confused, but I have my final consultation with him this Monday so I will mention it to him!!

Hey guys so I finally decided to have the surgery in Columbia. I'm so nervous and scared but I will be going with a friend so I won't be alone and the doctor is amazing there, 4 of my friend went to him and the results are just amazing, I was very sensitive when I did rhinoplasty in May 2013 the pain was just awful so I hope that liposiction is not that bad. I will be saving $4000 by doing it in Colombia. I honestly can't wait to get it over with, we go a nice suit and we have a lady that will come to give me a massage twice a day. anyways I will keep your guys posted and send out some pictures really soon :)

Super excited but soooo nervous!!! My surgery is January 13 almost 2 weeks to go, I can't wait to post the before and after pictures!!! My doctor said I will be awake for the surgery I hope I won't feel pain since I'm going to be awake!!!

Sounds great. I am six days away from abdominal upper and plus flanks. I will be going to Phoenix for mine with my sister there to assist. I am looking forward to the more streamline me but sort of scared too. I am having what they call smart lipo with a local. I am a chicken but do have a rather high tolerance to pain, I just do not like the side effects of general. Keep me posted and I will do the same. Good luck.

Hey, I researched a lot about smart lipo and what's good about smart lipo is that there is not much pain, the pain is very minimal compare to the traditional lipo. My doctor told me that I will feel like I got beat up with a baseball bat after the sergery, he was very honest with me about that!! But smart lipo is much less painful so I'm sure you will do fine, plus it's local anesthesia so you have nothing to worry about!! good luck
