So i have my surgery scheduled for under a week now!
Super excited!! can anyone give me some tips on how to prepare/what i need for before and after surgery?
getting arms, inner thighs, knees and lower and upper abdomen done
have had my lower abdomen and knees be stubborn areas my whole life, and figure that this is the perfect way to fix it.
It will also give me the motivation and incentive to maintain my body by working out and living a healthy lifestyle !
I am in my prime, and am only young once, have so much planned for myself, so why not look my best!
My body is one of the primary factors for my side work, and this would better my chances and increase my income.
So none of my family knows, and im currently situated in Melbourne, and am flying to Sydney for the operation.
My best friend will accompany me and so will my dog (flying him over)
I have rented a beautiful house on the beach for a week of my recovery.. so that should be nice.
Trying to see this as a holiday more than anything else... lol
Worked hard for this !!

Your body looks pretty amazing before. Not sure you need this! I'm one week post. First 3 days were hard but it gets better really fast.

I am 10 days post op from Dr Kim who runs to Cosmos GC Clinic... He did an amazing job! Very interested to see your review on Dr Ajaka :) as for pre op prep... not one to ask, I kind of binged out of nerves so theres not much to prepare yourself for... Are you getting it done under local? I did and I would recommend it :)

WTF - why are you having surgery? You are only 21 with a stunning body. Please don't be taken in by (male usually) doctors wanting to enrich themselves, or by male attitudes (influenced by [RS bleep]) to womens' bodies. Your body is perfect AS IS, & no amount of lipo will improve it! Remember, fat always comes back after lipo, often where you least want it. Believe me I know, having been there. All it did was relieve me of several thousand $$$$ and the fat returned in other places after a year.
The problem lies with your self-image, absolutely NOT with your lovely body!

Hi- thanks for your comment, but as i said, its for my own personal wellbeing. I am super self consious and have been for years. Theres certain clothes i cant wear, and plenty of things im limiting myself too because of it. its not about male doctors, or other people, its about myself, and feeling better. Not only will this give me the motivation to work out and eat well, the weight gain (in other areas) is an incentive to keep it off.
I am fully aware that if i gain weight it could go back to other places, but im not going to gain weight.. i dont see this as a loose weight quick method... its a life time long thing.. a life style.
Maybe i want to perfect, maybe im too critical of myself, but once i get it ill feel amazing. And thats all that matters :)
But thankyou !

I wish you all the best. But please read the realself post from Jade Chloe from United Kingdom re her lipo with Dr Edwin Anthony - not good! Admittedly that was a couple of years ago, and hopefully procedures have improved since then. BTW I am also from Melbourne. Do post updates after your surgery & all the very best wishes for a happy outcome!
August 2, 2015
thankyou, haha yes i have done alot of research! its not the surgery thats dangerous but actually the person who does it! if they do it wrong. Dr Ajaka is well known for his vaser lipo and has been doing this procedure for years. Im going to the best clinic (very well known in australia).
Cosmos clinic if you want to look it up!
Thanks again!

So! Fat transfer?
sarzysazAugust 2, 2015
Im removing fake nails tomorrow, buying cheap clothes to wear after surgery, pee pads, cheap pajamas and underwear.
Buying arnica pills for bruising, and will purchase some of the scar gel, and possibly more compression garments from the surgery, as i have only one bodysuit, a garment for my arms, and then a seperate stomach garment.
So im thinking another full body garment (as the other ill need to clean) and some pants?
Ive uploaded some pictures of the results im wanting (im being very particular)
He said im a great candidate for these results as i have minimal fat and great skin. So if im wanting this swimsuit/magazine looking body then im doing the right thing!
Ive signed up to the pilates club that i can hopefully get into asap when i get back.
Im still undecisive on whether to do fat transfer to buttocks (for an extra 1000).. as ive always wanted a bigger bum, and that was the whole point of this surgery, but then i thought my bum would look bigger anyway once the rest of me is smaller.. and i could do squats to improve.
The only reason why i opted out was because of the healing process, and being unable to sit will set me back. I have gained alot of weight in order to get my bum bigger before the surgery and its increased by half a inch in projection!
hmmm.. anyway, the surgery is on the thursday, and its monday today. NERVOUS!
I arrive early in the morning and they expected me to be at the clinic half an hour afterwards.. Im trying to get them to change me around with the patient at 12. It just wont work!
I have to meet the lady for the house and put down my things, and get from the airport!
Cant drink alcohol from now, and i have to remember not to eat 6 hours before!

Don't be nervous miss!! You are going to do great!! You are absolutely beautiful and you are going to look even more gorgeous after!!! Be sure to take as many pictures as you can for us!! :)
August 4, 2015
Tomorrow's your big day good luck!!! Dr Ajaka is amazing and his team will really look after you. The first couple of days are the hardest but your results will be amazing and all the motivation you need. Love that you'll have your four legged baby to snuggle up too. I would really recommend buying extra CG from Cosmos it makes washing so much easier. Good luck and keep us posted :-)
August 5, 2015
I can't wait to see your results. I've been thinking of doing the same lipo so I wish you luck and look forward to hearing your review. PS you look awesome now so you are going to be so fabulous after!!
August 7, 2015
Good luck!. I am thinking of doing lipo in a few areas. Cant wait to see your results.

UPDATE: a realistic one

okay, so its been a rough few days.
Firstly my dog couldnt come because he had a emergency surgery and i couldnt fly him because of that.
It was also the night before i was supposed to fly, and i was up all night because of it, and went straight to the airport at 4am... so no sleep.
I got to the clinic and i was super nervous, and was supposed to have a consult but didnt really get one... which is dissapointing because i havent had one at all- but nevertheless i was marked up by dr.ajakas assistant doctor, and briefly went over my expectations and problem areas.
The surgery didnt go well at first. I had gone in at 12, i was very nervous, stressed, and tired. It all happened so fast, and when he started to operate, i felt everything. This gave me a massive ahock as it hurt and noone had told me what to expect- bad on their part. I freaked out as anyone would and as he went to try again i was crying. I was overwhelmed by them telling me to relax and the doctor saying i have a tolerance to pain relief- and that he cant operate on me. Him saying this upset me even more- to the point where i didnt even want to be there. He continued to say to me he would give me a full refund. I managed to convince him to give it another shot but he said fist we need to get your heart rate down. After all it was at 180. I waited 2 hours to get my heart rate to 90- as i was super anxious and worked up. Once it was down he gave me a different medication- and more of ir. Ir worked and the operation was successful.
Because i was there for 7 hours we couldnt get through everything, and only managed to do my stomach and knees.
I was told that the second operation would be done this wednesday- which puts me out because i will have to wear my garments a further week, and pay for 2 more nights accomodation.
I was told to keep the garment on for 48 hours, which i thought was until the next day. Coming home was horrible.
I dont know if it was the amount of medication i was given but i was really depressed, really sore and uncomfortable, as i was soaking in blood. It hurt to move and was hard to lie down and get up.
I woke up a few times during the night feeling constricted and sore- it hurt to move but was uncomfortable to stay where i was...
DAY 1: I woke up covered in blood, and had managed to get it everywhere even though i had pads underneath me. I decided to use a old sleeping bag to wrap myself in, and its worked really well so far.
I was super sore and couldnt get up, took pain relief and waited. About 15 minutes later it got excruitiating, so i took another. Soon after i felt better but drowsy, and decided to get up and do stuff as they instructed me too.
I was constantly in and out of pain, had super bad sharp pains in my flanks, and found it super hard to get in and out of the car. It was painful to do any kind of movement. Going to bed was okay- bur u woke up more then once and was super swallon- felt like i couldnt breath and had to loosen the corset.
Day 2:
I woke up and was still bleeding, everywhere. I had my first shower and ir wasnt as great as i thought it would be. Taking the garments off was painful and my incisions were still open wounds- it stung in the shower.
I washed my hair and put on my pre purchased garments, that didnt really fot properly. I took my meds and went out again. Again sharp pains and hurt to get down and up- i really didnt think it would be this painful. Was bleeding all day and still am right now. I bought a new garment at my follow up appt while my other original one was washed and its already soaked.
I really hope that the pain is better tomorow and i stop bleeding! like they said it would today...
I am more swallon today then i was yesterday, and its getting worst. i really love the shape dr.ajaka has created and j saw it clearly straight after surgery... and that was straight after! Its only going to get better...
But now i can hardly see the shape because my stomach is so swallon! What ive also realized is you cant eat big meals t once- especially if yoir swallon. you feel bloated when youre not and everythinf becomes tight. Small meals throughout the day is better.
Im also constipated from all the meds and havent gone in 3 days.,. Another reason why i hope the pain stops tomorrow
Here are some pictures of me beinf drawn up and some after pics... will do some better ones when im not in so much paon

Sweet I'm sorry you've gone through so much. I've researches a lot and I've heard on the odd occasion that some people have a high tolerance to the melds and feel most things. I felt a bit but I was in and out of it. I can barely remember.
You're looking great. He's given you a great silhouette. It sucks you have to pay an extra few days board but I know a lot of surgeons charge 850 odd theatre fee for '[RS bleep] ups', so it turns out not do bad?
Rest well. You'll be ok. The [RS bleep] us ladies grow through hey.
Hope your dog is ok too xx

that makes me feel better! yeah well i think he knew i wasnt one to fight with after the first episode haha. thanks for your kind words xx
August 9, 2015
I am so sorry you had such a rough time! Did they do IV sedation for you? Did they give you happy gas? You are the second review I have read from Dr Ajaka to say they could feel everything!!!! Scary.... would you do it again? Perhaps you are a good candidate for GA for missed areas? :) sending healing vibes your way!
August 9, 2015
Also forgot to say, awesome results!!! and where did you get that CG from and what brand is it? I went to Gold Coast cosmos and only had stomach and love handles yet they gave me a CG that goes all the way down to just above the knees and I have to pee out of a hole in the crutch... its gross!
August 9, 2015
Thankyou!! yes they did and i got happy gas. I could feel some bits the second time round!! Like the scraping next to the bone... i am doing the same thing again on wednesday. I want to get finished!! But i have a high pain tolerance and am quite a tough nut when it comes to these things... ill tell you that its not for the light hearted, or anyone who cant take pain/needles and blood.
August 9, 2015
i got it from leonisa.com.. Its great for when im going out and i cdan just put that one on, it also looks like a leotard and you can wear under jeans!
August 10, 2015
no, the body suits the surgeon gave me have the aame thing up both sides. they wouldnt give them to you if that was the case! and it would have to be alot of pressure to mane indents.
Very exciting- keep us posted! The beach recovery sounds amazing :)
