Center For Cosmetic Surgery ~
I went in for my consult 12/9 and they were on point and so helpful.
Today went in for pre op ( paperwork etc. 12/12 ) questions.
Dr. Sassan was on time, and VERY informative. I've done my homework and
his work is amazing. The price can not be beat anywhere for his expertise.
I will lateer in March/April be getting a TT,Breast Aug and Lift . I dont have the recovery period I need because of work events so I opted to get lipo until then. I'm actually ok , with my shape but, as you know working out when you get older the lbs dont just drop off like they do when you're younger. I could snap my fingers and lose 10 lbs. … Always been active . ummmm, not so much now and after having my son, you really gotta stick woth it. Ok, excuses out the door , I need lipo :) ! I decided to get my tummy,back flanks ( bra line ) and under my chin ~ I'm really excited. They got me in before I have to leave for the holidays and I'll have enough time for the swelling to go down a little ( I'm assuming ) before the New Year . My procedure is on the 18th next Wed.. I'll post pics. I already took some today band will take a lot to post. I really appreciated looking at everyones pics to gage an idea of "is it worth it" & the doctors work. Update soon...

I had a procedure done last week, lipo on abdomen and chin. The result will be great but boy am I bruised!!!! Also, the numbness over the areas and need for compression for weeks is not that exciting. I wish you luck at being up and around by New Year after being done on the 18th.

Exactly what Im doing…plus back flanks. Hoping, bruising is gone after two weeks.. I know from past I heal fast. You just never know how your body is going to react that much I do know…still very excited.

… how was your swelling and bruising under your chin... I saw a few in videos with what looked like a compression head wrap for their chin..the rest I can hide of course face I can't..
December 14, 2013
They give you a jaw bra that I wore for 3-4 days ... The swelling is not bad though I know it was there because I couldn't open my mouth fully at first. Bruising is the most purple I've ever bruised before but it is underneath so not bad. You might want to find out if your doctor will put sutures in because I had them abdomen and chin/neck that needed to come out 5 days post-op; it bruised in those areas as well.

ohhhhh, thank you he didn't mention that I will for sure ask, that is important for me I'll be out of town for the hoilday break 20-6th of Jan so I would have to come back ! yikes :)

Good luck with your procedure! Make sure you have everything prepared for Christmas before surgery because you definitely won't be up to doing it afterwards. That way you can rest, recover, and enjoy your Christmas present to yourself.

I can say, I go to my parents for Christmas Sat. ( Wed. getting lipo ) ( 5 brothers and sisters so I will be leaning on them to finish my Christmas shopping if I'm still sore…Every year I shop when I get in so I dont have to ship or pack it to the airport. I'll know soon enough.

I agree with Carsonisme. I seriously have not done anything for a week. I did not have excessive treatment; got rid of about 2 inches of "baby fat" and I weighed only 115 on 5'1" going in. I was under the impression that I could go back to work in 2-3 days ... NOT!!!

YIKES ! I get done next Wed. and fly our for Christmas Sat ( San Diego to Minnesota ) with my 12 year old.. That is the impression I got too, I'll be ok and up movin in 2 days… I know everyone is different , I'll say a prayer.
December 14, 2013
I was up and moving in two days. Just moving very slowly and needing to stop and rest a lot. Everyone is different, but the ps's definitely sell this procedure as needing a lot less recovery time than it does. You'll have to keep us updated on your experience.
December 14, 2013
I was up and moving in 2 days just not ready to go back to work! Having had major open abdominal surgery in the past (worst pain) and a c-section (least pain) would say this is in the middle of those function and pain wise. Take your pain meds and get ambien to help sleep. Did I mention the swelling? You might swell in places you never thought possible but ice packs work well for that and it resolved within 2 days.

for sure, taking a few more before pics now ~ but, I'll post them all at once.. so everyone can see… on another note I'm the Master Cleanse on Day 9.. ( I went 17 days before ) and working out little more . I start the 9 homeopathic pills a day tomorrow, ( this might just be my doctor that gives these not sure ) . Updates soon :)

that is the one thing I'm worried about, I'll be with my family for the holidays so, looking my best not too worried about , it's my brothers and sisters mom and dad. When extended family comes over I can wave Hi smile and casually exit ! :)

If I'm doing my flanks will I notice difference in lower back above my bottom ?

User Avatar

so just after taking more pics just now and looking… think I need to add my lower back. Few questions for those who have had this done before ~
When you did your flanks ( left/ right bra line ) did your doctor include lipo on your lower back ~
Is it worth to do if I'm already getting my tummy ,will results show "all around" ( I know everyone is different, this is all in general )

Did you wish you had done lower back or notice difference in lower back
so, it didnt matter anyway

Lastly, I see stories where is says "trunk" done. I'm assuming that's alllll the way around ~ maybe I should just do that… ?
I know I need to decide before Wed., when I go in so any and all suggestions would be great :)

My doctor considered my flanks as my hip areas. If you look at the pictures of my back on my profile you can see the difference afterwards. I am very happy with my flanks and feel that it makes the biggest difference in my shape.

I had my lipo done last night ! I was completely under. Staff was wonderful. I haven't taken off my wraps yet, but, I will have my post op appt this afternoon. I'm VERY sore and "no" you won't be up and ready to go anywhere after, this was a misconception . It's not major surgery but, it'll put you on you buns . Make sure you have help. They gave me maxi pads to put under my support garment and tricky to stay in place and to change. I haven't really bled that much. Just really stiff and sore. I also had some filler done too~Restylane. I don't have laugh lines YET, but, more preventive. Looks amazing. I will post pics, I'm so swollen right !
