Ever since I was 13, I have HATED my sides. They have caused more dressing room meltdowns than I care to number. I have had 3 consultations (2 in the DFW area, and one in Tyler, Tx). I have settled on my procedure being done locally. My procedure will be done with local anesthesia and I'll be orally sedated. My quote was a bit higher than the other two consultations, but I felt I was given the best options to achieve my goals.
One thing that I notice with liposuction is that it can make you a smaller version of yourself. While I like this idea, my goal is specifically to contour my body (specifically my flanks) to a more aesthetically pleasing figure....not just to be smaller.
I'm SO nervous!! I am a HUGE needle baby..I faint when I have to get an IV, so I'm interested to hear what local anesthesia is like as far as pain is concerned throughout the whole procedure.
Any insights? I'll post "before" pictures tomorrow :)

Also forgot, I am 5'4 and around 120lbs. I've never been overweight or had significant weight loss. I've always been extremely active so I believe (and have been told by doctors) that I'm a great candidate for liposuction since diet and exercise truly have never helped change this problem area for me. I am aiming for re-contouring my body, not just being smaller around the waist.
So here's to hoping for great skin elasticity!!

Good luck with your procedure! I had always hated my hips. Even when I was a very slim teenager I had this little bits of pudge on my hips! Lipo has taken this away and I'm much happier with my shape.

BOOO! So my PS's scheduling nurse called me and apparently my PS will be out of the office on the original date we set for my surgery. It only got pushed back 1 day but I had already scheduled work accordingly and for my ride to take me home (a good girlfriend who is also a nurse). Oh well. I am getting so nervous though!
Did anyone buy any healing kits from makemeheal.com? What did you do to prepare for your OP?

So you are scheduled to have upper and lower abs done? I am having the same procedure next week. I am both excited and apprehensive. I will be having a local also and my sister is the designated driver. Good luck to both of us. I am 5'7" and weigh 150 which is more than I like. I work out 2-3 Times a week and try to eat right. Maybe this will help to put me on s better path. I am having problems getting in that 1-2 liters of water a day.

I'm scheduled for my hips and flanks. Thats what my PS wrote down on the quote! I probably should put some more bio info up there, but I'm 5'4 (on a good day) and average around 120 lbs. I've been involved in sports all of my life and have always been fit. I can tone almost every part of my body into great shape except my sides. They just sit and don't budge even when I'm dehydrated (not on purpose). I drink plenty of water throughout my days...just hasn't ever budged.
When is your OP? Good luck to you!!
