So Far So Good, No Regrets

Dr Soltaro is the best. Incredibly warm and kind, and for the first time I had hope that I could once and for all eliminate the stubborn fat that has haunted me for most of my adult life - thanks to those hereditary fat genes but made worse from two pregnancies. His staff is wonderful, all positive and encouraging. The amount of money we all pay to help rid our bodies of our problem areas is the only thing I wish I could change, but in the end it's worth it. If your in San Diego and looking for a surgeon to trust with your body Dr Soltaro is number #1!

I'm day two post op. Lipo on my abs, flanks, inner and outer thighs, banana rolls, and fat transfer to butt. I dreamed about doing this for years, and with turning 40 this year I decided to quit dreaming and just do it. 

I had a BA and lift done in January of this year, the confidence i had from just restoring my breast after nursing my kids was amazing. I knew I needed to continue my journey to a happier me. Working out, on my feet 12+ hours a day, clean eating and I never got the results i worked so hard for was seriously depressing me. The surgeon who performed my BA told me he would not do Lipo on me for various reasons. I accepted that and appreciated his honesty, but was so upset. He told me to try coolsculpting. I wasted $3000. I love my new breasts, but decided to meet with other surgeons. I I explained all the above to Dr Soltero, and while he couldn't guarantee what my final results would be he did agree that cool sculpting was not the right procedure for me. He was confident he could eliminate my problem areas. I wanted to cry, he gave me hope. I knew not to expect perfection, but I believed him when he said he could make improvements. Procedure day was great, all went well. Yesterday I tried to spread out pain meds - bad idea. The pain was no joke. Worse than BA and my c sections! With meds every 5 hours I'm feeling ok. Able to walk my puppy every couple of hours, and hopefully will be up to jumping back into mommy mode tom. Just need to pack lunches, drive to and from school and get homework done -going to avoid house cleaning for another day or two.  Will post pics later. Right now I need coffee and really hope to have a BM soon.

Before and after pics of my cool sculpting experience. I saw a slight decrease in the fat I was aiming for. Definetly not the right procedure for me. I was so eccited about getting my breast done and hoped the cool sculpting would help out a little. The surgeon suggested the cool sculpting would give me better results and explained that liposuction woukd make my lumps and bumps worse. He basically didn't want to even go there since he couldn't guarantee making it worse.
