33 Years Old Upper & Lower Ab Liposuction June 3rd & Inner Thighs June 13th- La Jolla, CA

Thank you Bella

Thanks! I don't feel the pain control was that great. Some people are sensitive to pain and because I have a back injury I have been prescribed strong pain medication in the past. Wheb I had my breasts donea few weeks ago they were great! They have been super understanding. I take two Ultram in the morning an I feel decent. Back to the lipo, I'm not looking for crazy opiates but some Tramadol or something would have been nice. I called the lipo place when I couldn't sleep and I was really upset well because I couldn't sleep. It was a bit of a battle to get something prescribed for sleep. So I didn't dare call and ask for pain medication. I want to feel comfortable enough to say what I need when recovering.

Ah I hear you. Well mine prescribed pain meds but nothing for sleep. They aren't too "generous" in that regard and I completely understand where you're coming from because I have a neck injury I deal with (I use arnica and prescribed lidocaine patches). I think if I would have told them I have a high drug tolerance or that I know what cocktail works best for me they may have been understanding about it. I told him under no circumstance I would not take the steroids and he understood. So I think if you talk to them they might understand and be more sensitive to your situation. If you're like me you understand your body (although I don't understand this swelling as much as I would like lol).

Thank you for telling me that, it's definitely a deciding factor for me now. When I saw my PS I was very adimant about my pain issue and they have been great. I just don't like the idea of anethesia of it's not neccassary or else I would go with my PS

My surgery was done under local, I had no pain during the procedure. I also had very little bruising, or swelling immediately afterwards. I think it Is an individual thing. How well your body response to the local medications, and how high of pain tolerance ur body has. I am sure u and ur Dr will get it right for .

He's actually a PA. I went on two seperate occasions and it was local as well. My pain was the days and weeks after. It hurt to sit on the toilet etc. I have considerable swelling after car trips or walking. This is to be expected. It is my right to have my pain controlled.

missjones1981 it looks like you are getting nice results however, I would not let anyone touch me that is not board certified in plastic surgery. There is a reason why some are certified and some are not. I was not aware that a PA could even perform these procedures. They can only work under the guidance of a physician and that's who I would want doing this.

He does work under a plastic surgeon who actually sits on the board. I have no issues with a PA or an NP doing this procedure. It's not surgery and as long as they are expierenced I am fine with it.

I'm an RN, I don't need a lecture on PA, NPs or MDa. Many plastic surgeons who are board certified botch surgeries all the time. Just watch botched. It's about what makes you feel comfortable.

MDs... I wish this site would get an edit option!

I like spanx and Naomi&nicole

yeah I don't know how much more I can tolerate it either

Thank you so much. I would say he sucked out a pretty big amount of fat. I have one of me in a bikini but that was before I hurt my back and has a miscarriage. I would be happy to post it though you can still see I have a pooch issue. Saddle bags and inner thighs have just come our of nowhere probably due to age.

To me you looked fantastic before! I know we have our own views of how we look! I would take in your before picture for them to try and get me to that!!! LOL I think you are too critical of yourself. I see nothing that needs to be improved on!

Like I said that was before a miscarriage and back injury but thank you. :)

Thank you, my body continues to improve everyday. How are you feeling?
