WORTH IT$8,500


Okay, so I've been researching this procedure for years, and finally got up the courage to go in for a consultation this week. The doctor thinks that I have plenty of fat to help form a nice shapely (not huge) behind. I'm going to have my love handles, lower and upper abs, lower back, bra fat, the little pockets of arm pit fat, and my arms. I'm 5'2 and about 143 pounds.



I am going in to get blood work done on Monday, and having the actual procedure done on Wednesday. I am crazy nervous and excited at the same time!



I'll post before and after pictures soon.

12-7-2011 - Before Surgery

Today is the big day and I am unbelievably nervous!!! (excited too!) My stomach is in knots, and I've been awake since 4 am. I was told not to eat or drink anything after midnight, so naturally, this is the first morning that I'm ACTUALLY hungry lol. I really hope that everything turns out ok. I am hoping and praying for no complications, and that the painkillers actually work. If I'm up to it, I will post again later.



Sooooo nervous!



12-7-2011 - After surgery

The soreness was soooo tolerable when I was going home. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. However, I think the anesthesia had a little bit of an amnesic effect. I forgot how I got home, and I felt sort of drunk. I took my anti-biotic and a Vicodin, so the day wasn't so bad. Having to sleep on my stomach is the worst though =\ ..It's making my lower back hurt.

So I looked in the mirror, and my butt definitely doesn't look round. It may be because of the garment, but still, I wish I could see the roundness more. And because of the swelling + the garment, I can't really see the effects of the lipo. I hope I can see results soon!

Also, the soreness was definitely worse today. It was really hard to get out of bed, especially since I had my arms lipo'ed too. I'm taking a million vitamins that are supposed to help after surgery. I hope they kick in asap.

hey so sorry your not pleased with your results i hope things have shaped up for you after the swelling goes down.. can you tell me please how many liters of fat did he take out and how many ccs in each cheek?
User Avatar

He only put 480 ccs into each cheek. I'm not sure how much he took out in total. I liked the way my butt was when it was swollen. Now that the swelling has gone down, I'm back to where I started. I have to get everything re-done this summer. I spent all that time standing up or laying down for nothing. It doesn't even matter now, there's no fat in my butt to preserve.

So sorry to hear that do you have any before and after pics? Tell him to show you the before pics and take after pics and compare the two infront of him, also tell him to tell you exactly what did he do to you.

I have another post-op appointment this week, and I'll definitely have him do all of that. I'm going to get this re-done this summer, which means I'll have to gain weight. I'm just really annoyed.
