Great lipo results....but......

Hi everyone!

Thought I would do a quick update. I've been really bad about regularly updating. I had a second lipo done last June to my upper abdomen. Great results. My stomach is flatter...everything fits better, and I went down an entire size all over. My concern now is that my skin elasticity is not what it used to be because of my age, so now I am seriously considering a tummy tuck as a final surgery. I need to save up a little more money...maybe I can start doing consults early next year. Unfortunately, Dr. Galanis has moved to Beverly Hills...so I'll be on the hunt for another local doctor. I would consider going to another state but I think I'm too old to take a chance outside of the US. Once I decide, of course I will update here on RS. This community has been so helpful to me!

Excuse the bathroom in my pics....

I'm embarrassed that my bathroom looks so cluttered...I'm a bit of a product/cosmetic junkie!! LOL!

One month update

Happy Sunday everyone,

I thought I should update my profile at the 1 month mark. (It was actually this past Friday). I am extremely pleased with how I am coming along. Still sore at times, and swollen especially in my flank area, but overall feeling better and stronger every. I have been back to working out so I am more swollen but drinking lots of water and eating as clean as I can helps alot. Also still getting massages 2x's a week. One other great thing is lots of my clothes don't fit anymore! YAY! I took some stuff to the resale shop yesterday. That always makes you feel good.

One word about my pics, there may not seem like a huge difference since my December pics, but the work my doc did to my upper ab area has made all the difference in getting rid of that dreaded muffin top!!! I'm still wearing my garment (Stage 2) 24 hours a day....I have 2 weeks left. Chicago has been up and down with the temps....the hot days are the worst. I will continue to update all of you...probably at my 3 month mark.

Absolutely the BEST!! So caring and knowledgeable. I originally went in with a list of questions. She answered every single one. It was a long consult and I didn't feel rushed one bit.
