Update 2025

In case anyone checks this review and reads my final update from after it was healed - turns out the lower abdominal fullness was fibroids! Not something that could have been removed with liposuction no matter *how* skilled the surgeon.

Happy even after gaining a few pounds

So I gained about 10 lbs after my lipo (which I have subsequently re-lost most of), and I have remained happy with my results through the whole weight swing.

What I wanted from this was a contour change to flatten out the belly fat around/under my belly button, and this area stayed nice and smooth even when I gained some weight (I wasn't six-pack ripped or anything, but the pooch I had retained the same smooth/flattened contour Dr. Swift left it with.

After years of fighting that fat deposit through diet and exercise, lipo was honestly the best five grand I've ever spent.

Just go in knowing what you want and what is possible and choose a great surgeon like Dr. Swift!

Week 3!

Week 3 and per Doctor Swift's advice I have just switched over to wearing the compression garment only during the day and taking it off for bed, which is a nice change of pace (and certainly makes laundry easier). Numbness is starting to improve a little - last night I had the a funny bout of itchy/burniness and then it went away.

I'm still happy, although I hope that as the final swelling resolves I have a little bit of a flatter result as far as my lower abdomen (immediately below my belly button). Wait and see for the next couple months, I guess!

Dr. Swift and his office manager Stefanie have been wonderful from start to finish. I feel that when you talk to someone about their work you can quickly begin to pick up a sense of how "into it" they are and Dr. Swift is not just professional but also meticulous, dedicated and enthusiastic about what he does. He is really fun to talk to about plastic surgery and has many interesting things to say! They were organized, attentive, and considerate from the very beginning: Dr. Swift takes measurements for you to ensure that you're able to get the correctly sized compression garment for recovery and Stefanie provides clear pre- and post-op instructions. Dr. Swift and his anesthesiologist contacted me before the procedure to check on any concerns or questions I had, and then Dr. Swift called again afterward to be sure that everything was ok. Like I said, I'm already thrilled with my results! I will attach more photos once final results are in. Also, don't forget to check their website to see if there is a special on a procedure you are interested in!
