Dr. Vennemeyer's office in Southlake, Texas is totally classy, upscale and pristine. Patients are not made to wait in the lobby beyond their scheduled appointment time, people are not churned in and out like an assembly line and everything is handled on time from the very start. He has been a dream to deal with and his entire staff is helpful, communicative and open. I kind of felt like a celebrity when I visited the office for my consultation and pre operative photos/appointment. He is a top rated doctor and it is clear to see why. He is definitely not a cheap or "discount" plastic surgeon but you can immediately see why from the handling of your appointments and procedure(s) to the glowing, glimmering final results that you will get. My results are beyond expectations and the open communication from the doctor himself has been reassuring and encouraging. The plastic surgery experience was of the highest caliber from day 1 on forward.

Can't wait to follow! You look great already, I can't wait to see how much more fabulous you'll be ;)
Hi. I just wanted to say how brave you are and that you look amazing. . I'm very scared about the possibility of lipo. I'm 47 and all my life I've been small... I hit 42 and things changed. I can't lose a pound. I'm really struggling with self esteem at this point. I wish I had your courage.
Thank you. Do you think that you may get a procedure ?
I don't feel brave most of the time . But I think getting a good doctor referral helps . RealSelf was really helpful to me with getting up m courage. I felt like the more knowledge I gained , the better I felt. Have you been searching through RealSelf for lipo stories similar to what you would want ?

lipo holds shape even after weight gain

Hey everyone . I'm updating here because I noted that my new shape has been holding up well , even after weight gain and loss. I've been working hard ( the old fashioned way ) to be the spare 10 lbs off before I go back my lower abs done In a few weeks . I noticed that although the lower abs are not cooperating, the areas I got lipo on originally are still holding up well. Even with extra weight , I still have that hourglass shape that the doctor gave me .

Looking fantastic! Good luck with our upcoming procedure :)
Thank you! I hope it will be easy breezy compared to last year
Awe I hope so! You will be prepared and know what to expect this time ;)
Hey! Are you going under again? Looking good!
Hey . I'm doing the awake lipo this time . So it won't be under anesthesia and he says will take 45 minutes or less.
OMG! Here in BR we don't have such thing. I will be doing a second round in September + BL. Thinking about TT too but too afraid from scarring. Best of luck!
You'll do a review for it right ?
For the BL I already started one. If I decide to go for TT I will start another, otherwise, I was thinking to keep updating the one that I already have (liposculpture). Should I open a new one?
Oh no , I'm sure the review you've got will be fine !
Just changed my BL review to a Mommy Makeover one. I'm decided to go for a TT. I'm posting my current status over there! Not completely satisfied with the lipo i did and not sure if a second round would do the trick!
You're going back! ahhh you're gonna do the awake one that I did, how exciting! I'm sure this second surgery will make you feel a lot better since I know you had some regrets about not doing the 360 lipo. Please keep us updated, and it's so good to get an update from you, surgery sis <3
Yes ma'am . I've started a new review for this one

10 months post Lipo- photos of changes in fat deposits / new fat

I meant to add these photos to my prior update. In clothes, you can't fully tell about what I mean with the stomach/abs and upper chest excess fat . See photos . That's what I'm working to Lose .

you just rock. thank you for sharing all of this.
Thank you so very much!
I have been following you since day one, and I thank you for sharing your journey with us. Thanks You are beautiful
Thank you. I'm glad you've been following my crazy journey
First I have to say that you look amazing! Your posts have been so helpful and informative. My lipo is scheduled for March 14th and I'm very excited! I'm having work done ok my abs, flanks and bra roll. I completely relate to the box figure and I absolutely hate mine. Unfortunately it is a genetic thing and most if not all the females in my family have it. I stay active and workout at least 4 times a week but just can't get rid of the box figure. I too have not told anyone close to me except for my husband of course and he is extremely supportive. Im not sure if and when I will let others know but I will just take it day by day. I'm excited to see my results and I'm bracing myself for anything that may arise after the procedure. I will be posting before and after pics once my procedure is done and plan on posting updates as much as possible. Thanks again for sharing your journey!
Wow! Thank you so for sharing your journey including all the details. This helps me so much.
I am so glad Cswan. Are you preparing for a surgery ?
Thank you! Your surgery is right around the corner . I know you're excited. I'm going to follow your review . I know the results will be much to your liking. Even with my drama and even with my weight gain , my body shape is still so so much better and the genetic issues I fought with the box body are long long gone !

How have things been since you posted this update?  We'd love to hear!
