Thought I would just add a photo

WORTH IT$4,000
Here is the result. I am very happy with it - although I would like to lose more weight overall, I think my flanks are totally unremarkable now, which I love! I would never have worn a bodycon dress before, and also, pants fit me properly now. It is so good!

Dr Bendor-Samuel and his staff all made me feel like what they were doing was routine and uncomplicated, which made me feel less nervous. Although I had done a lot of research, he answered all of my unanswered questions satisfactorily. During the consultation he seemed to want to get it over with, but I understand he had a patient in the OR waiting for anesthesia to kick in, so that makes sense. If I had needed him to help convince me more, or explain more to me, I am sure he would have done that un-begrudgingly, however I didn't need very much of either. During surgery, he worked quickly and explained what he was doing as it progressed, since I couldn't see what he was doing. Afterward, he had an on-to-the-next sort of attitude, which was in itself reassuring. The nurses were both really nice, and were quick to respond to any discomfort. Aftercare and follow-up: The compression garment they gave me was completely different than the one they showed me during the consultation, and it ended up buckling at the end of the first week. Basically unwearable, but not a huge deal I guess. I had been a bit disconcerted after the first operation, but after getting this revision done I am thoroughly impressed with everyone at his clinic. It was no hassle at all, and everyone was really nice throughout. I think it was mostly my hesitation about doing this, and my existential doubts that prevented me from seeing this as positively as I should have after the first operation. He and his practice get a full five stars overall from me!

My life has changed completely

The left flank turned out great, and if anyone wants pictures, I can do that.

I've decided to update this review because I have a few things to say. This surgery was probably the best decision I have ever made. My confidence and self-esteem is right where I always wanted it to be, I look at my body and I love it now, and I feel like the mental block that prevented me from being really ambitious and happy has been lifted.

Since I got the surgery, I lost 15-20 pounds and I feel great. I used to think, why would I lose weight if my flanks will still look bad? And now I barely even think about it. It is truly incredible.

It is strange to realize how much changing your outward appearance can really make a difference, even if nobody else notices.

Can we see a pic? You look great from the last pics. But I see what you meant about wanting more lipo to the left side. :)
Can you please post pics of flanks pre and post revision! Happy for you!

Revision to left flank

So it has been a while since my operation, and when I went in to see the doc at six months I was still unhappy with the left flank. He agreed to a minor revision surgery under local to just get the fat that was missed because of my body's asymmetry. (No charge, which was really great of him)

I just had the procedure and am in bed. It looks really swollen and I intend to take it easy for the next couple of days. As before, the surgery was painless, and it only took about 45 mins. He removed 100 cc by suction assisted lipo. I will post pictures once there is something to see.

Congrats on the revision. I think you got great results in the pics i saw :) I hope this takes care of the flank and you love your results.
That is great that he fixed it without extra charge. I've already had one revision (at my expense) and I'm worried that I will still need another. I'm hoping for the best for now.
