Abdominal Liposuction - Very Happy with Results!

Okay this review might be a bit all over the place....I am a skinny female 30 years old, athletic and active, healthy diet. Despite years of trying, I could not get rid of the pooch on my belly. Its frustrating for me and I felt it was out of proportion with my body. Difficulty with clothing fitting that area, and general self consciousness in that area. I decided to get liposuction, and I had a bit of a time frame I was hoping for. Youthful Image Clinic was able to get me in for a consultation and from here helped me make all my bookings. I was really happy to be able to get the procedure done with such ease and not much waiting period. Honestly, I really feel satisfied with the office, the girls and the nursing staff. Everyone has been friendly, helpful and calming. And of course, the Doctor. Dr. Sapijaszko is great, I felt calm and safe in his hands. He was always realistic from the start, open and very easy to ask question to. During the surgery, he and his nurse Cathy where really comforting for me. The procedure didnt hurt really, but it wasnt exactly a comfortable experience. I appreciated the Doctor and Nurse and the way they treated me. The after treatment and followups where very clear, and I was sent home with everything I needed.
Now I am in week 3 of healing, and I feel great. I have been back to my daily fitness routine about 12 days after. The results are great so far. I am undergoing the treatment at the clinic with Elizabeth. I have done one session so far. It was very nice, felt very relaxing, and enjoyable. I look forward to seeing more healed results. So far I love it, and im really happy already I notice a big difference in the way my clothing looks, and how my belly pouch doesnt hang anymore!
I would recommend to anyone to go to see Dr. Sapijaszko at his clinic. I know I will for sure see him again in the future, when I am in interested in other procedures.

So its been exactly 3 months since surgery. I am still very happy with the results. My scars have healed insanely well. I was nervous about what they would look like because I am pale skin and my scars tend to be discoloured for a long time. However, these healed really up great, and they look so small. One side healed to almost being non existent.

What I did not expect with healing is the timeline haha. But of course it makes sense it takes a long time to heal, its pretty invasive procedure. I do still have mild swelling. I notice I have a wave, or sort of dent sometimes below my belly button area. HOWEVER, this changes daily. For example if I wear tighter pants, its more prominent. But when I wake up in the morning, it looks way better. To me this means I still have some swelling, and so I try not to wear tight clothing still. I massage the area at least once or twice a day, and dry brush after showers. It feels tingly after I so this. So I know this means its still healing. I believe this slight wave/irregularity is going to go away in a few more months of healing. And its by no means awful, it just doesnt look completely smooth. This is not a complaint, I am fully confident this is going to go away. I just want to be open with my healing. For me I am happy I did this surgery over the winter, especially with the healing time. So when the summer weather arrives I will be healed. I think I would recommend the same timeline for others getting the surgery.

So I guess I am unsure with my feelings of final results. I ended up with dents under my belly button area and its obvious at this point its permanent. yes the fat is gone, which I do really like. However, I didnt not expect to look like this. Its not smooth, and for sure a deformity-look. Im a bit sad because I did have normal smooth skin before. And now its never going to look even again. Although, I love the way my clothes fits better, and I do not have a pooch belly anymore. One side is good, the other side has left me in tears and not wanting to look in the mirror. I dont know if I would do the surgery if I could take it back. But I cannot take it back and have to live with the results. I guess my advice to others would be to think really hard. I expected a much nicer result asthetically, and I hate to think at 30 I have to look at this the rest of my life. Now, I need to learn and love the body I have, because I dont think I have another choice. Think hard about doing things to your body, it might be something you cannot take back.
