loving my results
WORTH IT$8,500
Finally I can wear bodycon dresses without being self-conscious about my protruding tummy. I have been exercising consistently with spinning, jogging and tennis. Nothing obsessive and eating moderately. I am still 5'10", 150 lbs.

Looking good 1.5 months post-op
I think I'm a fast healer because it looks like all the swelling is gone and my results are really good.
In fact it all went so smoothly that I now regret not doing the inner and outer thighs. Ah well, maybe I'll get to those areas eventually. I get a lot of compliments on my hour-glass figure and am very happy not to have a bulging fat roll.

You look awesome! Congratulations! If I may, here's my non progressional two cents. I've had lipo twice. First time I was physically fit i.e. ate properly and active in bootcamp. I had lipo in inner thighs around the knee and upper inner thigh, flank and just below the bra strap. I too healed quickly. I went back to bootcamp on day ten and leaned up quickly. First couple of works ups I swelked a bit but it would settle down by the next morning. Two yrs later, fairly extensive inner lipo from top of inner thigh to almost the knee. I have been sedentary though for six months. My healing is much slower. I'm on day 9 and still very swollen and bruised. I'm disappointed in myself for not personally preparing myself for the procedure. I've switched to drinking just water! No artificial sweetener which has already made a difference in two days. No salt either. Back to my protein shakes, lean meats and chicken breast. Vitamins and dandelion and fresh lemon juice as a diuretic. This being said; using my past experience I thinks it's important to prepare yourself even for just two weeks prior to the procedure for a better recovery. Get up and talk a walk too. Thanks for Sharing your story.

I understand! I tried to use the liposuction as motivation to keep up my exercise/eating plan. As it turns out I am not doing any more or less than I was doing prior to this procedure.

Actually no, everything is good so far and my weight is stable. Just wish I could stay away from processed foods.

Hi. You look great!
Could you please let me know if you get scars under the skin that hardens up and is visible when you move? I was told that you may get these besides the incision scars. Do you have even-ness inside your abdomen? Thanks.

Hi, for the initial 2 weeks after the procedure I could feel areas of hardness but now everything is smooth and back to normal.

Sunday Update
Looking slightly less bruised today. Keeping up with my vitamins, protein, walking etc. Put on a black skirt for church and noticed how much flatter and better it fits.
Inspired to do more spinning and hot yoga after work. In the past I would go through phases of going a lot and then getting bored and slacking off. Still, summer is coming and I want to look good. I'm single and any extra boost of confidence is a good thing.

What compression garment are you wearing?
May 13, 2015
My doc gave me 2 garments from morrisdesigns.com it covers from ribs to mid thigh. Been wearing it 24/7 except to shower.

Yes my bruises are a lot better. The main reason I'm wearing it is because of swelling and reshaping the skin over the new surface of stomach.

Your bruising made me super nervous but I'm glad it went away and I may say you look amazing , if you don't mind me asking for everything you got done what was the price range ? I'm looking to have some Liposculpture done in February but I'm having a hard time finding a doctor that fits for me .

Hi, just saw your question. I paid $8500 for full stomach and flanks, for just stomach I was quoted $6000. This is pretty much standard pricing for a Park Ave doctor. Dr Sobel has been doing this procedure since 1978 or something so I felt confident.
