4D Vaser Lipoabdominoplasty, Vaser Lipo to Flanks, Back, Fat Transfer to Buttocks

At 48 years old, I now weigh less then I did when I had my Vaser 4D TT, BBL, and lipo with Dr. Epstein in 2013! I am 132 pounds now vs 150 lbs In 2013. I began gaining weight about a year after my TT / BBL surgery in 2013.

I gained 60lbs after my TT with Dr Epstein, then in 2020 I had bariatric surgery. Despite the 60lb weight gain and the 80lbs post weight loss, my TT and BBL have held up very well. I started weight training in September 2021 and that has been a game changer for continuing to transform my body and I’m very impressed how the body contouring that Dr Epstein performed on me came back with fierceness…I’ve never seen my body look like this…EVER! . My body does not look like the average 48 year old!

I decided to enter into a transformation competition. I went through 13 weeks of competition preparation and I competed on June 3, 2022, two weeks ago! I won 2nd place!!

I just wanted to share & update my journey because not only is Dr. Epstein’s work impeccable, he is the most caring and compassionate surgeon that you’ll meet.

Tomorrow is my 8 year surgiversary! I went for a consult with Dr Epstein on October 1st, it was so nice I see him again. I got a little overwhelmed over everything we spoke about so I went in for a second consult today to zone in on what mattered most to me…breast lift with augmentation. I decided I need to give my body more time to transform before considering any other surgical interventions because weight training has made a huge impact on my shape the last 4 months. But nothing is helping the breasts at this point, gotta get them girls back up where they belong. Anyhow. I’m still deciding between two surgeons and what prompted me to go back to Dr Epstein today is this picture. I’m amazed this is my body after gaining and losing 63lbs.

I can hardly believe it’s been almost 8 years since my Vaser 4D abdominoplasty with Dr Epstein. I’m my previous update I mentioned my weight fluctuated over the years and I peaked at 200lbs in 2020. I had gastric sleeve done (you can read my gastric sleeve review in my profile) in October 2020. I now weigh 140lbs, which is less than what I weighed when I had surgery with Dr Epstein (I was 150lbs then). Losing 60lbs so far with gastric sleeve has been a life changer, I am so grateful. My belly, despite the weight gain/loss, has remained in great shape! I have minimal loose skin to my lower abdomen, mostly around incision line, however my upper abdomen is looser which I think can be addressed with a reverse tummy tuck at the same tome I get a breast lift (yes, the girls are sagging). I’m 47 years old, so a breast lift with fat transfer is next on my cosmetic to do list! I have a consult with Dr Epstein on 10/1/21 for that and MyEllevate and FaceTite (or Renuvion) for my side profile double chin / sagging jowls making their appearance as weight loss continues.
