Hi KimWoo, I'm schedule for surgery(mommy makeover) on the 12th too. Are you schedule with Dr. Ortega? If you don't mind me asking how much is the 12 areas of lipo.
November 26, 2016
Yes I'm scheduled with Ortega. Mine was $3600. But I've heard of others being more or less, depending on the special they run.

Thanks for you reply. I'm thinking about getting it for my back, thighs, and arm later. Are you from Miami? I'm going to come in look for you. Btw.. I never answered your question. I had lipo sculpture years ago. I was up and walking on the 2nd day. I didn't use the pain meds he gave. Just make sure you take your viatmins. Get some Arnica for bruises. I didn't do it with Dr. Ortega so I'm not sure you drain afterwards but I would get some bed pads so you don't mess up your matress.

Speaking of which, will Dr. Ortega put me to sleep?
November 27, 2016
That's an important question. I was up the entire time, but I was sedated and did not feel anything.

Ortega and Anesthesia (Sleep or Not)
When undergoing liposuction, does he put you to sleep or just heavily sedate you? I've never had an issue with anesthesia, but reading others posts I don't know if they do or not. I will be calling them tomorrow to ask, but just wanted to know from others who've already done it. I'm thinking of having the fat transferred, just haven't made my decision yet.

Yes he does but you could elect general anesthesia but I wouldn't wanna hear it sucking. Ugh!
