Round 2 of Liposuction....So Excited!!!

ORIGINAL POST

So I've been contemplating on getting liposuction...

WORTH IT$6,800
So I've been contemplating on getting liposuction on my abdomen and arms for almost a year now and finally came to the decision to go for it! I have read many reviews and find myself constantly looking at before and after pictures online. I am 24 years old, 5'1 and 125 pounds and am almost at my appropriate weight. I know I am not excessively huge for my height and weight but I never ever had a flat toned stomach. I hate having the ripple effect on my stomach and just want it to look smooth and even for once! I just hope I am satisfied with the results and hope my money spent will be well worth it. I kind of am nervous of the pain although many have said the procedure isnt too painful. I just need a little motivation and support...a voice telling me that everything will be alright!

Is this ur second time getting lipo
November 25, 2014
Yea it is. I went in for flanks and my back on the sides
November 25, 2014
Oh ok cause I thought the first round didn't take so U went back for extra not work that was already done

No I didn't do any touch ups except for a small area on my upper abdomen. I had a small fat deposit that didn't get taken out the first time I went in for my stomach. I really have extra thick skin that can't be removed so my surgeon won't be doing any more touch ups on any body part which sucks but it's true after lipo we will have extra skin over lapping that we think is fat but it's really not. Overall though I am satisfied

You have nice waist curves! You're going to look great once all is done! I haven't gone for surgery yet as mine isn't until June. I wish I could go sooner! Are you doing your arms too? Can't wait to see your results!

As thanks ur so sweet!! I hope the results will be awesome. Hopefully I will have a much flatter stomach. I am doing my arms too! What are you getting done?

Just abdominal area. I might go back and have my hips and flanks done too.

Youre going to do great!! I already had my lipo..and it's worth it!
April 28, 2013
Aw thanks.. Do you have pictures up?? I'd love to see your results!!
April 29, 2013
Yeah! Just check out my profile! Just remember, it takes time to heal and you might swell up like a balloon. I gained 10lbs of water weight but slowly and surely I'm seeing results.

Everything will be alright! I've got a pretty in-depth review going if you want to check that out. If you're having the procedure done under general then obviously there is no pain during, however I'm not going to mislead you and say its minimal after. Really, it all depends on the individual and their level of pain tolerance. For me, the pain was/is considerably worse than I thought it would be. But is it unbearable? Of course not, particularly with appropriate pain medications. If you've never had a major surgery before it will be an unusual experience, but really the worst aspect of pain is not the pain itself, but rather the ensuing inconvenience and frustration. Being in pain makes it harder to move around, it stops you from doing things you normally do, it interferes with your concentration and so on. Basically, pain is a drag! The thing to remember is, it's not forever! It's probably not even for more than 10 days! The key is to be prepared to REST after - you'll want to sleep and just not move too much. It is ideal to have someone around who is caring for you and will bring you things so you don't have to get up, and basically just keep an eye on you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I'm currently at five days post-op =)

Aw thanks a lot for the info!! I'm more scared of the pain during the procedure than after. I think I have a good pain tolerance for a 24 year old!! Also I'm really concerned that the results won't be what I expected. Based on my pictures do you think i will amazing? Lol

Girl your arms look great!!! I don't know what you are talking about fat arms lol
April 29, 2013
Lol I'm only 5"1 so it really shows how thick my arms are.. You know the sleeves of a tee shirt? My arms are so thick that its tight around the upper arm and that's why I barely wear tee shirts lol I guess in the pics it doesn't look that bad..
April 29, 2013
I completely understand! I'm in the same boat! My arms are chunky, but I know it's my fault for not hitting the gym in awhile. Last summer these bad boys were cut **sigh** but you're going to look fabulous! Nothing worst than tightness around arm fat lol

Haha, I was just thinking "lol, I WISH my arms looked like yours!" I've got fat arms but I just don't really pay much attention to them. I can bench 90 lbs so I know there's lot of muscle underneath the fat!
April 29, 2013
Damn girl 90 lbs that's impressive!! Well hopefully lipo will do the trick for my arms I have a masculine upper body which needs to go!

Honestly, your arms aren't that bad!

Girl! (To answer your question on my profile) pain meds are a must! I stopped taking it them after day 3. You can use maxi pads so you don't leak everywhere. I stopped leaking after day 1, but everyone is different. Oh and where black lol
May 1, 2013
Oh and wee wee pads for your bed!
