Outer/Inner Thigh Liposuction - Tampa, FL

WORTH IT$4,500
Back in March I had my inner thighs and inner knees lipo'd by Dr. Su, Artistic Lipo, located in Tampa. Yesterday, 24 May, I just had my outer thighs lipo'd. For the inner knees and thighs, it was quite a long procedure but after he was completed and I looked in the mirror, I was utterly amazed that my thighs were so slender, something I have not seen in many years. However, the recovery was not quite what I expected. It was probably the most painful experience I have ever had. Dr. Su informed me that the inner thighs are the most sensitive areas for this procedure and he definitely was not lying. For at least 3 weeks, every time I walked it felt as if my muscles and skin was tearing and on fire. It was completely black and blue and the amount of incisions, was interesting. I thought I was a voodoo doll and I still joke with him about it. It's been 2 months since that surgery and my legs still look great; it's still a little numb and bruised in a couple areas but if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't think twice. As for my outer thighs, yesterday I had those done and again, when I stood up after the surgery was complete, I cried for a minute because I have delt with saddle bags all my life and now, they are gone. It's only post op day 1 and so far, it's quite sore, which is expected and the only issue I'm having is sitting down, once I'm sitting, it's good. Sitting down on the toilet seat is probably the most sensitive, lol. But this is the price we pay for wanting to change our bodies. Overall, the procedure for both were not too painful. The anesthetic part is the most sensitive but Dr Su and his team make the environment pleasurable and relaxing and we like to keep things funny, at least I do. So in a few days I will try to find pictures and post. This fall I will be scheduling to have my calves, ankles redone since the last doctor I saw did not complete the surgery I asked for, in addition to try to lipo the fat pockets in my knees. I can't wait!!!

Dr Su is probably the most thorough doctor I've worked with. He takes his time to discuss and show what he foresees as the best coarse of action to get the results you are looking for. He ensures you are aware of complications/risks, post operative issues, like swelling and bleeding and lastly he ensures you are aware of how the procedure will be conducted. You will walk out of there schooled on what you are to expect during and after the surgery. Dr. Su's staff is just as pleasurable to work with. They make every effort to make you feel comfortable and keep you relaxed. I definitely recommend Artistic Lipo in Tampa to anybody looking for liposuction.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience with us and it looks like you have more to share come the fall - I am excited for you. Would love it if you would share progress photos with us. 
Did your inner thighs swell at all? We're the results quickly noticeable? Thinking about doing my inner thighs but really concerned about swelling and wondering if I should wait til after summer.
Thanks for sharing your story. How come your surgeon did not do the outer, inner thigh, and inner knee at the same time? Thanks!
