WORTH IT$2,500
I am having this procedure done on June 10 with Dr. Finger in Savannah, GA. I am excited. I was given a list of things not to consume. Which was most of my diet (fish/Omega-3). I also use vitamin E on my skin, which I had to stop using before the surgery as well. I had to also stop eating garlic. I had to stop drinking energy drinks and green tea. Any aspirin, ibuprofen and anti-inflammatory products are very strong anticoagulants, which can cause bleeding problems. I am allow to take Tylenol. This is for the period of 3 weeks prior and three weeks after my procedure. I will update you all in a few weeks before and after my procedure. I will have pictures as well. Wish me luck! =)

Thank you very much. Indeed, there are a number of "do not" on the list that I didn't mention in my initial post. The other items to avoid are the following: flax seed oil, krill oil, bilberry, bromelain, MSM, selenium, echinaccea, kava, ginseng, st. john's wort, valerian, pepto bismol, ,bextra, aleve, nuprin, goodys, baby aspirin, advil, motrin, naproxen, vioxx, ibuprofen, and ginger. Anything items containing fish oils or extracts (no salmon or tuna) or anything that contains large quantities of vitamin E. Avoid over the counter herbal meds & supplements, like ginko biloba, green tea or garlic. No diet pills or energy drinks or bars.

This is one of my absolute favorite areas to treat with liposuction. Patients typically complain that the fullness protrudes from their bras and tank tops, and with a successful surgery, the improvement can be remarkable. Best of luck!!

Thanks! I am very excited about getting this done. I've had this issue for a long time, despite my efforts from dieting and exercising. I lost 25 pounds, and my journey is not ending there! This is just that little bit of 'help'. It has always been an issue since my weight gain and feeling comfortable in wearing bras and tank tops. I am sure Dr. Finger will do an amazing job. Thanks again for your comment!

I called back and since I left the store, they cld not do anything for me. Oh-well.
