Considering Lipo Of the Upper/ Lower Abdomen and Love Handles - New York, NY

ORIGINAL POST

I had a consult with a teaching fellow at NYEE...

$3,000
I had a consult with a teaching fellow at NYEE last week, he was adamant about a Tummy tuck. I told him I only wanted Lipo because I plan to have another child in the near future i'm only 28. Needless to say he refused to do the lipo and kept pushing a tummy tuck, he said NYEE is restricted to doing liposuction on candidates they know will be 100% successful. Granted I know my stretchmarks wont be gone, I just want the fat gone.

Anyways I have a consult this weekend with Dr. Voskin, I emailed him my photos so that I wouldn't waste my time going for a consult. He stated the lipo on the love handles would be no problem and we can discuss liposuction for the lower abdomen when we meet. Looking forward to meeting with him, I'm not expecting tummy tuck results with Liposuction but I just want the fat gone, after I have had another child I'll do a full tummy tuck.

Stick to your guns, seems like they always say that about TT but sometimes lipo alone works fine. Check out RS member FTA2014, review "40 Yr Mother of 2 with Very Busy Life :-)" she did a lot of work and has amazing results! Good luck!

Thanks I was discouraged from the lipo all together. I strongly feel like I'll love my results when I do it though

From what I've read lipo is really dependent on the technique and expertise of the surgeon. You want a surgeon that feels very confident that you will have a good outcome. There are tons of good lipo docs out there. XO Oh, ps, compression afterward is super important!

Im having surgery with him Tomorrow wish you the best of luck. Make sure you go to consultation with them cause they say one price but when you get in the office its a different price. :) But he does great work :)

Thank you did he give you the groupon rate? If you don't mind me asking what your total price was? I'll be praying for your procedure tomorrow

advice if you get just a lipo your skin will become very loose the fat is going to be gone but the extra skin is going to remain

I had a dr tell me the same thing Im a nurse went to another dr he said i would get hreat results from lipo and lazor its been six months post op and i love my curves and flat belly. Ive had four children too

it depends on how you skin is not everyone its the same some doctors recomended cause if the patients once they get the lipo n they dont like their results they going to end up having to do it , but she looks good hardly has anything to take out with her is just going to look great!! happy recovery!

Set My Date (March 6th)

So I had my consultation today with Dr. Voskin and he was pretty up front about what to expect, the honest answer is without a tummy tuck there is no guarantee on how my my lower abdomen skin will retract. So we agreed to do Upper/Lower Abdomen and Love Handles, I told him I'd wear my compression garments and begin waist training as soon as the healing period allows me to get into one. So ladies if you have info on proper steps to go from a conpression garment to corset/waist trainer please let me know. I didn't Inquire about a fat transfer to my buttocks but he said I don't have enough fat to place there because he will probably only remove 1 liter of fat.

Well congrats on surgery date. You seem like you don't have much fat so probably won't even need a tummy tuck and if just like extra skin sometimes the garments help you with tighting back up. http://hourglassangel.com and http://makemeheal.com. Both websites were made for post surgery supply. Good luck

Thanks how are you feeling? How's the healing going?
January 10, 2015
Mine went wonderful to have a waist and to sit on the toliet and see the water in the bowl amazing!!!

Congrats on the consult! 1 liter does not seem like much to me...maybe I'm wrong though. I just don't think you'll see a very drastic difference at first with only that much removed.
January 16, 2015
Best wishes on your new body! I am also having Liposuction done on upper/lower Abdomen and flanks with Dr Voskin March 4th.... and then he's gonna schedule me for upper back and arms...... again good luck!!! and keep us posted
January 19, 2015
Thanks, did he give you a good price? I'm still working out a lot on my own to see if I even really need it. I don't want to go through the entire process if I can achieve the same results without surgery
January 19, 2015
That's true!! and yes for the full abdomen and flanks which includes the bra line he charged me $3700
January 19, 2015
and $2500 for the arms and upper back...... I think you should go back and talk to him n tell him how you feel and see what can be done.. cus I'm going back this week to make things clear b4 I get it done
January 19, 2015
Girls.. those of you getting work done by Dr. Voskin please post your pics.. it would be really helpful in me making my decision about doing my surgery with him.
