I did this because I've always been a slim person, with an extra amount of fat on the pubic area. Researching into it I realized I wouldnt lose it from exercise. Pros, it didn't hurt - and i barely bruised. Cons, can barely notice a difference, and I am now more self conscience then ever about the area. Very confused why the before and after photos on the PS website look amazing, and my results are horrible. It seems like fat was only taken on out the side and not in the middle where it protrudes the most. And still does.About 2 months ago, I had liposuction & lift of the Mon pubis area. I am very unhappy with my results, i still have a large amount of fat and it is still visible from side and front view. It has made me even more self conscience because I felt this would be a life changing experience. My plastic surgeon has told me it could take a year to see the results, yet on his website a before and after of the same procedure after 3 months - the patient looked great and you could no longer see it "puffing" from the front or side view. How often is it that it could take a year for the final results? I have tried to contact him, and he never returned my call, and my next appointment with him isn't for another month. I am feeling very down about this and don't know what went wrong. I did a lot of research on this surgeon and felt he was perfect, I even drove 3 states away to go to him, and I feel like it was a waste of time. Should I wait a full year or just see someone else to have liposuction done. This is something I can no longer live with, I just want to feel normal - and wear whatever clothes I'd like to.

I just wanted to comment on what you said about feeling normal and wearing whatever clothes you want. For what it’s worth, if you aren’t 100% happy with your body, I think you can give yourself permission to feel normal without any further surgeries. You’re not alone in wanting to look a different than you do. I would argue that such a state is normal. I would also like to suggest that nobody gets to wear whatever clothes they want. We know that clothing is not one-size-fits-all, in that they offer different “sizes” of clothing, but clothing is also not one shape fits all. Celebrities and instagramistas aren’t showing you what they look terrible in. I would argue that I’m pretty fortunate in the body department. Nevertheless, I can tell you a million ways in which I am not happy with what I was given - I see asymmetry, fat in places where it’s “not supposed to be”, cellulite (more than 95% of women have cellulite), stretch marks, scars, no waist, saggy skin, fat arms, sun damage... But this isn’t supposed to be a hate yourself game, because you know what’s looks better on you than fixing anything wrong with your body? Loving the body you have. High self-esteem/high self-confidence is free and has no adverse side effects. In my experience, no amount of cosmetic treatment will solve dissatisfaction with your body. I’m not saying it was a bad idea or not worth trying to change what you were given, but I hope for your sake that you can find a way to feel normal just the way you are. I think accepting that clothing is fabric cut for a generic body shape might help. Here’s something to try: Next time you find something that hides the thing you don’t like about your body and highlights the things you love, keep that garment somewhere special where you can see it in your closet to remind you that clothing is fabric cut for somebody’s body - maybe it works for yours maybe it doesn’t. Another suggestion: next time you put something on in your closet that highlights what you dislike most about your body, give away or throw away that garment. It just doesn’t do you right. That’s all! One night my friend took a photo of me from one angle and I looked so thin and amazing like a model. Same night, same outfit, different angle — I looked the same as I did 10 years ago when I weighed 50lbs more. How you look changes with a bad angle, a ill-fitting garment, bad Lipo, or whether or not you’re on your period. It does not change who you are. Remember, if you’re lucky, you’ll get really really old someday and look like death. We need to be ready to love the way we look now, because that is all we will ever have. Not saying don’t do anything to make yourself look better, but feeling like you look weird is normal. Good Lipo, bad Lipo, no Lipo - you are not deficient the way you are.
