WORTH IT$4,802
Had the procedure done about 6hours ago. I have absolutely no pain at all, just numb at the areas that were lipoed. He aspirated 6liters all together. I can already see a difference, my saddlebags are gone and my thighs look slimmer. I tried on a tight fitting pants of mine that I haven't worn in a year and it's actually loose and my bum looks good in it.
I had a quick peek and saw a small bruise on my right thigh which was to be expected. I am also expecting the dreaded swell hell soon and have taken a few pics with my cellphone in the mirror before the selling kicks in. I was advice by the nurse and doctor to stay ahead of the pain by taking my medication as prescribed. I was up within half an hour after my surgery to use the bathroom and the nurse was surprised by that. I know I'm no superwoman cos the aenesthetia is still in my system.
Will upload before and after pics once back at home.

I'm 3days post op today and still np pain just a bit of stiffness. I'm super swollen and bruised especially in my inner thighs. I oozed more from my left thigh than the right and seems like the right side is more swollen than the left. I'm also having my first ultrasound massage tomorrow and will comment about the results. My doctor highly recommends at least 10 treatments post op.
I must say my saddlebags are gone and my buttocks definitely looks much smaller although swollen. I'm really happy with the results although its been only 3days.
Will keep you updated about my progress.

Day 4: had my first ultrasound today and I can feel an improvement in my thighs. The swelling in my right thigh has gone down a bit but seems likee the bruising has moved down to my inner knee area, horrible dark, dark blue but no pain. I will be having ultrasound for the next 9days and believe it will get better as time goes by. Also having lymph drainage this Thursday.

Updated on 3 Feb 2011:
Today, I'm exactly 3 weeks post-op and extremely happy with my results. I've shrink from a size 46/48 pants to a size 16/18 in the first week to a size 14 and still shrinking. I am very glad I've done this and will do it in a heart beat. Will keep you updated as the weeks passed with latest pics.Updated on 16 Feb 2011:Today, I'm almost 5weeks post-op and still seeing changes in my thighs. My pre-op pants are way too big now and I have to buy new one but not now yet!! Recovery is very good so far, just overwhelmed about the changes in my body each and every week. Check out my new pics!!!
Any comments or questions are welcome!!!Updated on 23 Feb 2011:Updated on 15 Apr 2011:I'm still doing fine so far and extremely happy with my results. Still seeing changes in my body as the weeks pass. No loose or sagging skin, thanks heavens to my grandma! I just have a tiny bit of swelling at the end of my left butt cheek. I couldn't have been happier and planning to do my upper arms, bra rolls and tummy. Check out my latest pics and your comments are welcome!Updated on 27 May 2011:It has been 4 and a half months since my surgery and I am extremely happy with my results. Suprisingly, I still see how my body changes every month. Will definitely post new pics as soon as I upload them.Updated on 2 Nov 2011:So, now I'm going for round 2 on the 8th of December to have my upper arms, bra-rolls and lower back done. I'm a bit nervous and very happy at the same time. I was thinking about adding my inner knee area but will have to check with Doc, hope he says yes. I was telling my girlfriend that my back looks like ''Body builder gone wrong''. I'm trying to eat healthily to lose extra kgs before my surgery to make it easier for me. I know that I'll never be a size 0, just wanna be comfortable and happy with the way I look.
Here I come SA and Dr. H! Make me smile like you did the last time. I'll upload my before and after pics after the surgery.Updated on 12 Dec 2011:So, 3 more days before my surgery and can't wait. Prepared everything and hope that it's gonna work out with the flights etc.
Will upload some before pics for comparison soon.Updated on 14 Dec 2011:Arrived safely at this beautiful place with the friendly staff. Had my meds as per docs orders and watching TV just to get my mind off things.Updated on 15 Dec 2011:My procedure was this morning at around 7H30 and guess what? Doc sucked out 5.1litres of fat from my upperarms, bra-rolls and flanks. But looking at my before pics it was to be expected. I flew out at 17H30, that's exactly 5 and a half hours after surgery and felt good, no problems so far. I am at home, Yipee and very happy that everything went well. Dr. H is a Godsent! I trusted him from the get go due to his bedside manner and artistry. My arms are so slim now I am in awe, even my boy was like ''Mommy your arms so small, it actually look like somebody else's. I was up and went to bathroom after 20minutes without any pain. Took my medication at airport after having something to eat. Oh dear, did I ooze, luckily I was wearing all black and the drain is jsut there to do the job. i had to empty it at the Doc's room before leaving at 15H00 for the airport and had to empty it at the airport before boarding.
I'm gonna take my medication now and change the pads again before going for bed. I actually had to change the pads twice in the plane and was squeezing it through the holes at my elbow and a lot came out. Glad I did that.
Will upload some pics, obviously wearing my garment for comparison.
CiaoUpdated on 15 Dec 2011:This is the first time in years that I can see a glimps of my biceps. I am uploading some early pics just for comparison later.Updated on 15 Dec 2011:I had a good nights'sleep but was a bit sleepless as from 3am this morning. I watched a bit of TV (Oh yes, I switched it on) and eventually fell asleep. Woke up at 05H30 as usual and had nice cuppa coffee, took my pain medication (I always advise to be ahead of pain and I'm just doing that) and did some arm exercise advised by the nurse. It really helps with the stiffness. She actually said to do these every hour. I am still oozing alot, had to change the pads at 3o'clock and also pushed out more fluid through the holes at my elbows which I believe it helps. The drain really helps a lot. I have also noticed that I'm oozing more from my left arm than the right arm, this has also happened to me after my thigh lipo. Anyone know why this happens???
Anyway, I have no pain so far and I hope it stays that way.Updated on 16 Dec 2011:Day 2 post-surgery. Oh my gosh!!! I was so SORE and STIFF waking up this morning, moving around just to get out of bed was a big CHORE. Took my pain meds and did the arm exercises (it has become sort of a routine cause it really helps with the stiffness).I think the big SWELL HELL is coming but I haven't noticed any swelling at my arms due to the garment. I will change the garments today and take a light "bird bath" today and check out the bruising.Updated on 17 Dec 2011:Today is day 3 and the stiffness and soreness is much better than yesterday morning. I took my garment off yesterday for a quick bath and to check-out everything and am super surprise that I have minimal bruising and swelling. I know it's still early days but what the heck, I am very happy with the results so far.
There is no hanging skin so will have to keep this garment on for even better skin retraction nevermind the heat. My skin is very sensitive to the touch and can't wait to have the stitches out cause they are actually irritating. The drain is still going and I am not as annoyed by it anymore. I have noticed that the more I move around and get busy doing the normal staff the stiffness completely subsides. I am still doing the exercises cause it helps a great deal as well.
Check out the pictures without the garment on.Updated on 17 Dec 2011:One more thing, this damn garment is super annoying, riding up and uncomfy.Updated on 20 Dec 2011:Day 5 and the drain and stitches were removed, so glad cause the stitches were an annoyance. I have bruising that was not there before but not too much. It is so hot and the sponge and garment are just not so nice. I am actually sweating on my back just by sitting and it stings were the drain was. The stiffness and soreness has definitely subsided tremendously since yesterday but still a bit EINA! when putting on this garment. So far all looks and feels good, can't complain just yet.Updated on 20 Dec 2011:Day 6 and the swelling has kicked in big time. My left lower arm is swollen but not the right one. I don't why this is happening but think maybe it's due to the drain being removed. I was so stiff and sore when I woke up this morning. Took arnica and did some arm exercises and felt much better. I actually neglected a bit doing the exercises regularly yesterday since it was so hectic for me. Lesson learned... Do the exercises as much as possible to avoid all the above. Today I'm gonna take it much easier and relax.Updated on 22 Dec 2011:Today is exactly 1 week post-op. I have a bit of bruising and swelling mostly on my left arm. Took some pictures for comparison later. The stiffness is still there but the exercises really help with that. No major issues just yet and hope it will stay that way. I am still in AWE with my new shape.
I had a quick peek and saw a small bruise on my right thigh which was to be expected. I am also expecting the dreaded swell hell soon and have taken a few pics with my cellphone in the mirror before the selling kicks in.

Hi Isabel
Thanks, I'm just doing fine so far. I'm now 3weeks post-op and am enjoying my new figure and slimmer thighs. I flew all the way from Namibia to South Africa to have this procedure done and the price was good.
The doctor's name is Henri Claassen and he is based in Faerie Glen, Pretoria, Tel: 012-991-6600/1 and Corrie will help you. He has been doing liposuction for the past 13years and I've seen first hand what he could do for my girlfriend.
I'll upload my pics once I get my befores from the doctor. In fact I've one that I've taken before the procedure in the mirror which is not really clear. I had these huge thighs and bum (huge family trait) but now, I could already see a big difference as from the first day. I use to wear size 46/48 that is about 22/24 Donna Claire pants to a size 16/18 pants 1 day post-op.
Ok, chat to you soon and ask any questions.

Hi Zanele
I'm really doing well, can't complain. The procedure itself was a breeze. I flew in from Namibia to have the procedure done. The pricing was good, its actually like, R18 000 (surgery fees) + R7 000 (clinic fees) + R3 300 (anaestesia) + R700 (garment) = R29 000, wich + think was reasonable.
I paid via EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) or you can pay in at the bank, they will provide the banking details. I would suggest that you buy 2garments cause you will leak a lot. The staff are really friendly and very helpful. I'm thinking about having my arms, back and tummy done.
Where do you stay in SA?

From size 22/24 pants to size 16/18, wow you should see my eyes right now(they are literally popping out in disbelief) but seeing your pics has made me a believer. I am a size 14(38) pants and I would like to atleast get down to size 10(34) pants, size 8(32) pants would be my ideal size tho but I can settle for size 10(34).
This thread has just made my day, now I cant wait for that consultation with my doctor.
Please keep us posted on your progress, I would really appreciate it.

Size8,
I believe y
ou will be the size that you wanna be with the doc's expertise and guidance. You are way smaller than me and if I'm happy with my results than you'll be overjoyed!
Ask the doc how much she'll be able to aspirate per session, is the ultrasound included in the pricing etc. My doc could only aspirate 6liters per session, thats his maximum. I know that I will never be a size 8 or 0 but I can at least look fab in my clothing especially my pants without dragging around my thunder thighs and huge bum. I have a relatively small waist and wanted to be propotionate with a nice silhouette.
Just go for it girl, I know how it feels to be a pear shape!

Hi Cat,
Sorry for only replying now, work is hectic and on top of that I develop an allergy reaction to I dont know what.
Sorry girl, to be honest, I have no idea whom to refer you to. Maybe you can google and see what comes up. Actually I'm not even familiar with doctors in SA since I'm from Namibia.
Hope you find something. Good luck with your search.

hi mojo, im considering vaser lipo what i wanted to know is that how do they charge, is it according to how much work needs be done(an the size/weight you are)or those are standard prices for the procedures, because im a size 10 an would love to go back to my size before pregnacy which was a size 6, and you look amazing
February 17, 2012
Hi Seipati
Welcome aboard and thanks!
I think they charge according to the amount of areas to be done. Which areas would you like to be done? The best bet would be to go for a consultation to Dr. H and get a quote. He really is good and will also advise you.
Hope to hear from you soon.

What a difference already. Do you happen to know how swollen you are under the compression garment?
February 4, 2011
Hi Sharon,
I was pretty swollen especially during the first week but it has subsided about 60%. Still a bit swollen especially the inner thigh area but what really helped me was the ultrasound massages and lymph drainage. Still a little bit stiff in the front thigh area but feel very normal as before. The biggest changes are in my butt and my saddlebags are completely gone!! Hooray!!! I just wish I had asked him to lipo my inner knees as well.
I will post pics without the garment on soon.
Regards

Great! It sounds like a fabulous result so far. Can't wait to see more pics.

Hi Mo, I am super excited I across this thread. I live in Centurion, South Africa and I am schedule to have my consultation with Dr Sighn from Silhouette Clinic(Sandton) on 1 March.
I am very impressed by your results, thank you for posting some pics, now I am even more convinced that vaser works. Wow I cannot stop looking at your pics coz I am pear shaped exactly like you. My budget is around R40000 which I hope is sufficient for good results.
Do you have any pre/post treatment tips?

Hi Size8,
Thanks for your comments, I'm really happy to be able to help or inspire others who are/were in my situation. Big thighs and bum are a huge family trait which I was never happy about. I have to say that Vaser really works, I have and see the results to say that. I'm fitting in a tight size 14 pants now and see changes every week. I'm so glad I did this and could'nt be any happier! Doctor recommended at least 10 ultrasound massages and lymph drainage after the procedure and that has tremendously helped with the swelling and bruising and with the overall healing process.
Your budget is just fine, you will still have change for ultrasound and lymph drainage to help with the healing process. My budget was R30 000 and I flew out all the way from Namibia to Pretoria to have this done.
I'm happy for you and good luck with your consultation, keep me posted about that. I believe ypou won't have any regrets.

I have to say that Vaser really works, I have and see the results to say that. I'm fitting in a tight size 14 pants now and see changes every week. I'm so glad I did this and could'nt be any happier! Doctor recommended at least 10 ultrasound massages and lymph drainage after the procedure and that has tremendously helped with the swelling and bruising and with the overall healing process.
Your budget is just fine, you will still have change for ultrasound and lymph drainage to help with the healing process. My budget was R30 000 and I flew out all the way from Namibia to Pretoria to have this done.
I'm happy for you and good luck with your consultation, keep me posted about that. I believe ypou won't have any regrets.

Thanks for responding Mojo, I had my consultation yesterday and the price they are going to charge me is insane. I am not even that big to begin with. Butt, hips, i/o thighs come to about R52000, excluding anesthesia. I think I will go for a consultation with Dr Henri, his prices seem more reasonable.

Hi Size,
That's madness!! Thats the price for a used small car! You won't be sorry dear, just go to Dr. Classen, he will most definitely be able to help you. You see how my results look like. He's been doing lipo for the past 13years and has the necessary expertise.
I stayed at a aftercare facility/B&B for 3days which was R440 p/n and they drive you to and from the doctor and even to and from the airport. Altogether including my return airticket, I spent R33 620 which is very cheap compare to what another doctor quote me here in Namibia. I have no regrets and already thinking about getting my upper arms, tummy and back done. LOL!!
Go for it girl and let me know about your decision.
Good Luck!

Buttocks, inner thighs, lower back and saddle bags and fat transfer to my buttocks total costs were R30 800.

Hi Mands,
My procedure with Dr Claassen is on 1 April. I am so anxious and nervous, I think I am gonna be sick. I will also be getting my buttocks, I/O thighs, lower back and saddlebags done. How are you healing? Where are you getting your ultrasound massages done?

Well Dr Sighn from Sandton was quoting me R52000 and that doesnt even include aneasthetic. But I have since consulted with Dr Claassen and he is quoting me a more reasonable R29200 including aneasthetic and hospital fees. So I am definitely going with Dr Claassen.

Hi
I can beleive you are anxious and nervous i was too. You will be doing the same procedures as what i had done, only difference is that i had the fat taken out put into my buttocks and in my sides as i had huge dents like a male. You have the ultrasound at the consulation rooms (Same place as the procedure gets done). I am still bruised but today after 1 week feel like a million dollars. My back was the worst (Very stiff) but i rested for two days and after that took the advice and walked for 20 mins each day. My drain pipes came out after 5 days and i promise you dont be frightenend when u see your body with bruises. Where are you from? I will be posting photos as soon as the bruising has gone down. I promise you its worth every cent and pain.

Today is exactly 4weeks post Vaser lipo. I am extremely happy with my results. I am 100% back to my old self and doing the normal stuff. I still wear my garment for best possible results. I will try wearing it until 8weeks, but the heat is killing me. I am still sensitive to the touch or should I say "to massage", cause I am still massaging the areas every morning and sometimes evenings with Arnica oil. The lumps I had in my left armpit is almost gone. Sometimes a little stiff but massaging really helps.
I will take some pics and post them a bit later for comparison.

Hi Size,
Compliments to you all!
I'm doing excellent girl, healing was quite "stiff" but all was OK. I think I'm about 95% healed (just my guess) and 100% my old self. No more stiffness but a bit of swelling. Still wearing my garment never mind the heat and a 110% happy with my results. Will do it again in a heartbeat.
How are you girl? You have been so quite.

Hi Vaser Buddies,
Wow it's been a while. I hope you are all well. @Mo I hope you are healing well. You look good from the pics gal. It seems like a long time ago that I was in agony with pain and I must say I still have not forgotten day 3 and 4 post surgery cause I had never been in so much pain in my life. Now it seems like a distant memory. It's been 9 weeks now and I still wear my granny garment (amazing how you grow fond of these things) and alternate with spanx depending on what I'm wearing. I'm gonna push it until 12 weeks. The swelling has reduced substantially. I still wear the sponge when I go jogging just for comfort. Speaking of running, hey, this butt is beginning to bug me. It seem all the fat has moved to my butt and its evident when I run. Not a pretty sight and feeling. I'm working on it though at gym and with my biokineticist. I don't know if its because the waist is smaller and love handles are gone it has become rather prominent...but I'm not liking it one bit. I give it 2 more months and if it doesn't improve, I'll get the good Doc to sort it out.
BTW, anyone done bums? How was the experience?
Healing vibes to all those still in the process!
Take care!

Hi Size
Good to hear from you.
This is quite a long blog but the easiest way is to go to the "Sort" button at the very beginning of the comments/posts and click on "most recent". That will take you directly to all the latest posts. I hope this helps.

HI Everyone,
I've posted some pics, will post more later in the week. I tried to set up an appointment with Dr H for the 12 week(2 weeks coming up in 2 weeks) check up and to check my now funny belly button because of the stitching but Corrie tells me April 5th. I must say I'm not 100% happy with my results,particularly my tummy and so I'm gonna take a pic and send him. I still have quite a few bumps and I'm wondering if they will ever go away. You can't see on the skin surface but when I stretch, which I do daily, I look like I have cobble stones paving under my skin. Anyone with similar experience with the bumps. I must say this is despite daily massages from day 1 post procedures.
Take care ladies!
