Hello real self community !!!! I feel there isn't...

Hello real self community !!!! I feel there isn't as many reviews on liposuction as all of the other procedures . So, i decided to take you on the journey with me, so that you would be able to see just how it feels like without actually being there . I have been a 100 pounds almost since the 8th grade . After I had my daughter , at eight weeks post delivery , I was down to 110 pounds, which is where I currently am now . I have interviewed several plastic surgeons, today I believe I found the one . I put down my 800$ deposit to hold the surgery date , and although I don't feel 100% about it( simply bc i kinda felt rushed ) I'd say I'm at a solid 95%.
Dr.Tarola is probably the most professional doctor I have ever met . And I have met a lot of them !!! Not a very personable person ....only speaks directly about the facts and nothing more , HOWEVER, this is the very reason I chose him. In my experience , the doctors that get mushy and all talkative , usually are not very good. This is my opinion and I believe it to be true. We decided to do the liposuction on the abs,flanks,backside flanks/lower back . Inner thighs as well . I am a tiny gal and work out a lot. But the extra fat from pregnancy viciously drapes over my muscles in an unusual and unpleasing way . I will post before pictures soon. I shall also post a review for each step of this journey . The staff is average I would say, no one smiles at you really(receptionist), but once you realize it's about the doctor , everything is ok. Very competent and strong and Intelligent man....shockingly handsome too lol!SHOCKINGLY!!!!

Welcome to real self! I'm in Nashville too and I'm going to have liposuction with fat grafted to my hips and butt on June 20th! I am going with Dr.Papillion though

Was the fat grafting part of the liposuction deal? I'd love to do that, what's the recovery on that?

It's called a Brazilian butt lift. Basically they take the fat from the lipo then put it back in you but in better places. You can have fat grafted to your butt, boobs, face, hips, wherever. The recovery is harder because you have to let the fat "take" by not putting pressure on the grafted areas for several weeks.

Too high$$$?

Roxanna82
Does anyone out there think my costs are too high? I've read a lot of reviews on realself, haven't found much ppl being charged the same amount I am. Does anyone think 8gran is a bit high? I mean, im not that big. Please enlighten me someone?

It really depends. The anesthesia fee and facility fee are really the big difference from place to place. At one facility, the anesthesia and facility fee could be upwards of $6000 because of who the doctor uses to operate. At other places the anesthesia and facility fee could be $3000. The Doctors fee is what I like to look at because that's the only one that is set by the Doctors. Do I feel like the surgeon's fee is appropriate for what he will be doing. In my case I feel like it's too low (but the anesthesia and facility fee are also really low) and will likely ask for extra areas of lipo to be done (even though it will cost more) because I want him to be really thorough.

10 days post lipo!

Roxanna82
Hello, Real Self-community!!!

Well, its been 10 days since I've had my procedure. I'm not pleased yet. I have several photos that I'm dying to share with everyone so that somehow, we can learn from each other's mistakes or possible achievements. I don't want to post any photos or say how I feel about spending 8 gran on lipo until I have given Dr.Tarola a fair amount of time to address any issues. I wish I could say more. At this point, all I can say is,? we shall see.
