I have been researching and looking at liposuction for a couple of years now. I am about 156cm and currently 63kgs and 20 years old. I have gotten down to 50kgs about 2 years ago but still did not see results that I was happy with, I still had those awful saddlebags and even my flanks were still quite large. Currently I go to the gym 4 times a week, doing mostly weight training. I am hoping that because I am very young and quite active my body will heal up alright and my skin elasticity wont be an issue, fingers crossed.
I have booked in for liposuction on December 3rd. My procedure is being done out of state and my consultation will be done the day before. I am down for liposuction of inner/outer thighs, upper/lower abdomen and flanks
Really my main concerns are my saddle bags which I have waited many years to be gone, cannot wait to actually wear jeans without feeling like a stuffed turkey!
I'm not entirely sure yet if I should get my inner knees done,I haven't seen too many people that have had this done so not sure if it is going to make much difference to the contour of my legs?
Not long to go now at all, it's all getting very real!

So my partner and I flew into Sydney late last night, arrived at the hotel in parramatta at about 11 30pm. The hotel is very nice and even had our room upgraded for free because of my surgery.
I was going to have my consultation at 10am today, but received a call at 8am letting me know my doctor is sick and that we would have to reschedule my consult until tomorrow which is also the day of my surgery. A little bit disappointed about that. I was looking forward to having the consult today and then having a day to think about it and see if there were any other questions or concerns that I had. But instead straight from consult into surgery

So arrived at the institute at 2 30, had to hang around for about an hour before I got to see anyone as my surgeon was sick the previous day so was very busy today.
Went and got dressed into my sexy paper g-string and gown and waited for Dr Ali to come do my consult.
Got my partner to come in and listen as well in case he had any questions or concerns about the surgery. She was very kind and patient, and addressed all my concerns especially complications.
I went in wanting to have inner, outer thighs, upper, lower abdomen, hips and inner knees. She told me that I did not have enough fat on my abdomen to warrant liposuction given that complications could arise. And that my hip bones protrude quite a lot meaning that I just have very naturally wide hips and unfortunately that's just my bone shape!
We decided that sticking with inner and outer thighs would give me the best resulsts with the least amount of complications, especially saggy skin and dents.
So after that had a lady come in and take my blood pressure, said it was incredibly normal and I must not be nervous at all. I was! After that the anesthesiologist came in and put the drip in my hand and told me about any complications that could arise under sedation. After that headed on into the surgery room!
Laid down on the bed and had circulation pads wrapped around my calves and a heat blanket and a woollen blanket over me to keep cosy. A few seconds later the anesthesia was put in through my drip, it was only twilight sedation, but I literally remember nothing after 1min. I woke up in a chair in recovery, fully clothed and in my compression garment with my partner next to me. I had literally no recollection of the surgery (thankfully) apparently I had already come around 20 minutes before trying to feed my chin crackers and putting a straw on my face. Luckily my partner was there to help me out! He said I asked him about 4 times what he got up to while I was under, and a few more times at the hotel haha.
Tried to walk around for a bit with the help of the nurse but was very dizzy so we waited a bit longer and headed off to the taxi after about 10 minutes. I don't remember the taxi ride or getting up to the hotel room at all.
Curled up and slept for a while, had some dinner and felt pretty good. Just quite achy, nothing unbearable though really. At 10pm as instructed took some painkillers and antibiotics. I was prescribed 2 pain killers, one a bit stronger just in case the other wasnt helping. After that decided to have a bit of a look and change some dressings, the back of my left thigh was leaking like crazy! A lot more than i expected. And once the compression garment was off they ALL started leaking horribly, it looked like a crime scene. I had my partner run out earlier though and get some pads to put over the areas for through the night. The compression garment is very comfortable, zips on both side and clasps, and an open crotch thank god! I did not realise the benefit if that until after I took the garment off and struggled back into it and then needed to pee immediately!
Took some pictures as well, and I'm feeling really happy about my results so far. Feeling pretty grotty and have some bruising coming up but I'm not feeling too bad!

I'm glad everything went well with your surgery and look forward to seeing more pictures.

Congratulations...you already look awesome & it's only going to get better with time. So with that said....just be patient for swelling & soreness to resolve completely. It's just the natural healing process & will take months to see the final results but will be well worth it :)
