So, I had liposuction completed 12 days and so far I am loving my results. I had 4 liters of fat removed. The first few days were HELL. I pride myself on having a high tolerance of pain and being pretty strong and this procedure definitely humbled me. I had the procedure done and unfortunately, no one could spend the day with me so things did not go smoothly. I removed my garment to pee (I am an idiot and didn't realize it was crotch-less) and immediately got lightheaded. I almost fell in the bathroom, my ears started ringing, and I passed out. Eventually, I came to put the garment back on and took my meds. My swelling was horrendous and I was in significant pain the first 3 days and admittedly I was very emotional and had several outbursts. My cooch was the size of my head (my head is not small). I was unable to sit up or get out of bed by myself so I slept on the couch sitting up for 4 days. My garment didn't bother me so much but, I had to wear these clickers on my legs that basically hit my legs every 2 minutes to prevent blood clots....they were hella annoying and LOUD af. I had my first massage 5 days out with Ofelia at Muscle Relaxers in Buckhead (I thoroughly recommend her), after my massage I felt 20 times better. I have been able to sleep in my bed since my massage. My swelling has gone down alot and my bruising is pretty much completely gone however, I am still full of fluid and therefore significantly swollen. Dr Gordon says I look like I'm 4 weeks post up. I have been trying to eat right and limit my alcohol intake. I no longer take any pain meds but occasionally I take an ibuprofen to help with inflammation. The knots and itching have started but it's not too bed so far.

congratulations. so much improvement. Looks like we had lipo on the same day. I had my arms, flanks and bra area done. My PS told me to message myself. I have a lot of swelling and very little drainage, looks like I have to pee it out.
August 23, 2016
I'm trying to massage myself as well, but it kind of hurts when I do and I don't do it as often as I should. How is your recovery going?
August 23, 2016
oh and I didn't drain AT ALL, I didn't even drain right after surgery they said normally most people have a lot of fluid draining when they dress them and I had absolutely none

My PS said messaging would hurt, especially the first 2 days. It still hurts after5 days but that's probably b/c I wasn't aggressive enough as the doc told me to be! But I do my best! the PS is very pleased with my results. I asked him if he removed all of the excess fat( I didn't have a lot) and he said yes. But I don't see it yet. I hope it is b/c of the swelling.

My swelling dissipated very quickly but when i was super swollen i looked soooo big. My stomach is still swollen so im just waiting for it to subside and be extra flat
August 25, 2016
I did not have any drainages either. People are saying you have to pee it out
August 25, 2016
Your results are amazing. I need to work out more to get these results

7 months post
Not a Fan of Dr. Gordon's work

So here it is 7 months after my operation and 'im not satisfied. My stomach nor my flanks are flat. I have a weird ripple in the middle of my stomach. Dr. Gordon told me to lose weight to fix it and well, I've lost weight and it still looks weird. Also, it doesn't look like he touched my flanks at all. I am kind of pissed that I spent 7k on this surgery and I will probably need a revision. I suggest you guys look for a different surgeon.

Hello a relative of mine had lipo on her stomach and flanks by him a few months back...she is not happy either. She is not flat at all...still a little flabby..I definitely would not recommend him.
March 12, 2017
Yeah, i wish i had gone somewhere else. My stomach wasnt huge to begin with. My lower stomach is still a little pudgy and my flanks are wide. Doesn't look like i had lipo looks like ive lost a little weight thats all. Hell i think sono bello wouldve been better

Girl I know. Dr Boutte in lilburn is good. Wish I had known about her to tell my mom. Dr boute is a female doctor... I just had a consult for lipo. Her results are amazing. Right now lipo is $1000 off. Seems like she sculpts really well... but decided to do waist training instead because like you I am not a big girl. The waist trainer works. Definitely holds you in and trains your waist. The brand I used was waistshaperz. With a Z on the end. Excellent quality and well made.

I've had liposuction done by a different doctor and I wasn't happy either. I think the question is always whether you need tummy tuck or liposuction. A friend of my mine went to Boutee and she wasn't happy with service or there beside manner. She has huge dark areas on he stomach. So I'd say consider ALL options before you just go and get liposuction.

he told me i was the perfect candidate for lipo, my skin isn't flabby, i have good muscle tone, and i haven't had kids. Idk why my results weren't better.
