I am extremely satisfied with my results from Dr. Hamel!! His staff is great and they make sure you are satisfied.

I went to him March 28th. I got lipo on my entire back, waist, arms, and chin. He sucked out around 2,200 cc's of fat. After the purification process he was left with enough to put 890cc's of fat in each cheek. I chose to be awake for my procedure so I could ask him to hit extra spots.

The numbing part was uncomfortable but after that I was okay. It took him about 2 1/2 almost 3 hours to do everything. They wrapped my arms up in an ace bandages, and gave me a white binder for my waist. I laid down in my SUV and my hubby drove me home. When I got home, I stood inside my bathtub and asked my hubby to massage my back and arms so some of the numbing fluid can come out. (I learned about that from the girls that go to the Dominican Republic) I was so sore that I took a sleeping pill and a pain pill and I laid down and went to sleep.

I was okay. I was super duper nervous!!! He marked me up and took photos, then he walked me into the operating room. When you get there he cleans you off and drapes you with a blue cover. When I was lying down he prayed and he walked me through each step that he was completing. After the numbing process was complete I was okay.

I did not have a lot of fat but Dr. Hamel worked found what I had and gave me good results.

Dr Hamel lipoed my back (upper and lower), my posterior waist, arms, and chin. He got appox 2,200 cc's of fat. After the purification process he injected 893 into each cheek. This set of photos is from before and right after my surgery.

No, but I think since my stomach is flatter they poke out more. Sometime next year I am going to get a reduction.

Hey boo, I have some more pictures. I will upload them shortly. For you. I am self employed so I made my own schedule. I say take at least a week off so you can heal properly. If you have to be on your feet all day I say take at least a week in a half off.

You are welcome boo. I cannot wait to see your results. Make sure you get a faja/compression garment. I wore mine 23/7 for the first three months. It helped my skin retract back to the muscle.

Which one did you get? There's so many different brands it's so overwhelming lol

Has the covered butt on the garment made your butt smaller? Or did you cut holes in your garment?
User Avatar
September 22, 2015
I got the butt in faja, and I did not cut holes in it. I know a couple girls that went to the Dominican Republic and I followed in their footsteps. I think it helped to round my butt out.

September 23, 2015
Okay (ik I'm asking plenty of questions lol) when it came to sizing, how did you pick the right size? Because idk what size I will be after surgery. Also did you use an abdominal board/epi foam under your garment? And did doctor hamel let you see what he was doing? like we're able to tell him to hit a few spots during lipo like "hey doc you missed a spot" lol

Girllllll, I was not getting off that table until I was happy. I looked in the mirror. He stood me up, and liposuctioned my hard to reach spots. Then when I was happy he purified the fat and injected it into my butt. He was really patient with me because I was NOT playing.

Oh yea and I don't know if you saw it but I asked about the sizing of the garment. How did you pick the right size? Because I don't know what size I will be after surgery.

I would wait until after you have the surgery so you can make sure you get the right size. I do not want you to crush your butt.
