I'm 21 years old 5'2 and 148 pounds. I used to maintain a weight of 125 pounds before I started birth control and gained 30 pounds in a year! Even when I was thinner I had a belly (I am apple shaped and carry weight in my mid-section). Now that I have gained weight I am desperate to get rid of my stomach fat.
On December 2nd I am getting liposuction on my upper and lower abs and having it transferred to my butt. The doctor said my fat transfer would be limited because the skin on my butt is so tight. She is hoping to get at most 200 cc in each butt cheek.
(I'm also getting lip injections of Juvederm Ultra on the same day)
9 more days until my surgery and I can't wait!

Did you take side views?

I'm thinking of getting lipo but what do the incisions look like and where are they?
December 29, 2016
they are small incisions. smaller than the size of an eraser on top of a pencil. i have one under each of my breasts, a couple inside my belly button, and i have a couple on my bikini line. They are not noticeable unless you really look for them. I definitely recommend lipo. I know someone who had coolsculpt and it takes a while and multiple sessions to see a significant change. Lipo is more expensive but I think its worth it cause you get better results.

Yeah I had coolsculpting if you go to my page. There was a slight change but I'm looking for something a little more

Did you ever take your measurements. Before and after to see how much they took off?

They took measurements at the doctors office. I go in Feb 14 to take my before and after pics. I'll ask for my measurements at that time and let you know! !

LIPO IS PAINFUL
cocopebbles11December 22, 2016
I read soo many reviews saying that lipo is painless and there is only slight discomfort. Am I the only person who feels like this is super understated? I had my stomach liposuction done under local anesthesia and it was honestly pretty painful. Before they laid me down on the table they gave me 4 mg of Ativan, which I think is a sedative. This did not kick in AT ALL. I was wide awake through the whole procedure. The most painful part was when they had to numb your stomach with lidocaine. It takes a while to get numb so the whole time the doctor was filling up my stomach with the liquid I was in pain. I would rate the pain a 7 at least. They ended up giving me another 2 mg of Ativan and also of shot in each one of my thighs to helps with the pain. Not sure if it's because my metabolism is slow or i have a high tolerance? but the meds took a while to kick in. The transfer wasn't bad at all. Just a little sting when she would insert the syringe. Almost wish I was put under for the procedure.
