Nervous for proceedure tomorrow but ready to get rid of all this yuck. Having neck, abs, flanks liposuction with vaser. Is there any advice from any of the veterans of this procedure? Interviewed three doctors. Choosing the one that is unfortunately the most expensive, but the one I feel most comfortable with. Hopefully will give the best results as well. Wish me luck

What a great experience. Such a caring doctor and staff. Interviewed several doctors that were less expensive but this doctor and his staff made me feel more comfortable and safe. Excellent job with excellent aftercare. I feel like I have developed friendships rather than just another patient. Doctor is available by text as well as staff to answer any questions or concerns great communication. Results far exceeded my expectations and I'm still healing!

Drains for fluid hey empty them out every 1 to 2 hours right now. They fill with the fluid that they inject you with. I will try to post a picture. So far there is little to no pain and I don't have to change pads I like it better then how did you change pads

I got home around 5:30. Much later than I thought. At 8 I have emptied my drains three times already. Doctor says I can't remove my garment until my appointment on Sunday. He took pictures that are amazing. I hope it I can get a copy of it to post. I don't think I will look the same for several months. Swelling has not kicked in yet his pictures were amazing and quite the transformation. Impress so I can get up off the couch by myself and walk around I even did two trips up stairs.

Yes! Take your meds they will help the first few days. Please get lipo foam. It will help with your garment and ease some of your pain. Also get Tylenol extra strength take that in between your pain meds.

Hey you look fantastic! I do have a question. I’m your before photos it seems that you had a small roll on top of your navel... and the before pictures your stomach looks flat. I was told that I had to have a tummy tuck to fix this. Did you just have liposuction? Also was it worth it?

I only had lipo on lower, upper and flanks, no tummy tuck. I am still swollen and wrinkly now. Doc says this will pass by 6 month mark. I am happy with results even though they are not perfect. I submitted some pics from last month. Hopefully they show up

Ugh lipo is brutal I’m sorry you’re going thru the recovery now. I was numb for six months on abs and flanks. Scar tissue is also annoying. I’m 2.5 years out. Good luck.

What would you like to know? One week post op and hoping to have some of the drains taken out tomorrow. Don't know when 3rd will come out. I was prepared for the garment but not for the foam. The foam is very difficult to deal with. It is hard to get the garment on and the foam plus deal with the drains. Getting up I feel like a bug on his back. It is still hard to get up from a lying position (doc doesn't want me sitting) and stiff upon position changes. Happy with results so far. I don't know how to post update pics...I will try
