Ok so this is my first time posting, although I read tons of reviews. I'm 30 and a mother of three beautiful girls. I'm 141lbs and stand 5'7. I'm rather small but lost weight in my butt and gained in my stomach. I attempted to workout and my stomach left and butt didn't come back either. I gained some weight and right back to my stomach and arms it went. So depressing. Well I decided to make an appointment with Dr Hamel at Complete Laser Clinic for liposuction from my upper and lower stomach. arms and sides and place them all into my buttock region. I'm a bit nervous but I went to de hamel 2 years ago for a breast augmentation and was happy with the results. I have a couple of friends that went to him as well so I am ready for this. I go tomorrow in the morning so I should be back soon to speak on the process.

I went and got my bbl yesterday. With me being so small, Dr Hamel was worried that I wouldn't have enough fat. He said my stomach was all skin from childbirth and he could try but doesn't expect to get much from it. We agreed to go with my thighs. Sides. Lower back and upper arms. I'm not going to lie, the lady before me had me scared out of my mind. I heard her making noises And at that point, I was ready to go. But I stayed. Dr hamel marked me up and in the room I went. I was nervous. They drew some blood to make sure my blood meshed well with the new fat.!"they gave me a pill to relax me And we got started. He made his incision marks and started working. Although the pain wasn't anything I likes, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. He took a total of 1000 cc's from me. He said that he was shocked that he got that much. I think my arms and lower back did the trick. After taking all the fat. They harvested in and injected it in each cheek. I love my results. I'm very sore now and hate that I have to lay on my stomach to do everything but this will subside. Let me know if you have questions

Happy healing. I had a consultation and I think I want to go with him. I'm out of state; are you in NC? Where you able to drive afterwards? How many cc's did you get and is he aggressive with the lipo? Sorry for so many questions :-)

I love in Charlotte Nc and it took about a hour and a half to get there. He put 500 cc's in each cheek.i could've driven myself but if I fif, they wouldn't have given me the medication called adavan (sp) that calmed me down. So no I had a driver. He isn't real aggressive with the lips and does a good job numbing you. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I didn't think the ativan affected me at all during surgery bc I was so aware of everything! BUT I don't remember anything from right after my surgery until the next morning. My husband said I was up walking around and talking and acting normal, but I swear I don't remember half the stuff he said I was doing/saying. So be careful if you plan on driving bc I thought I wasn't affected at all!

I was walking around the park at week 2. I was completely out of pain by week 5 but till this day, arms hurt a little.

Ativan affected me during surgery because I don't remember much of it at all. I definitely wouldn't drive while on it.

I'm feeling so much better. I'm not sure if I am just good at taking pain or if it just wasn't that bad for me. The whole procedure itself was maybe a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10. I must say though, laying on my stomach 24/7 is driving me absolutely crazy. I was able to take a shower by day two. My arms are a little bruised, thighs stomach and back are both the first day was hard getting out of bed but i don't have much trouble now. I'm going to get some surgical spray to help with my scare healing. I have a total of 10 incisions. I know!!!!! I got out the shower and looked at my butt and was like wow, that's you girl? I'm really praying that a lot of my fat stays if not all. I didn't have much of an appetite the first three days but my doctor said to definitely make sur what I eat so my body won't start to want to eat itself and take that new fat so I have been forcing food. What are you ladies doing to help prop your body in different ways besides laying on your stomach? Someone please help me.
