24 Years Old, No Children, Liposuction to Abs, Flanks, and Lower Back - Miami, FL

I lost 65 pounds via weight loss surgery (wls date 01/17/2014). I had fat left on stomach, sides, and back. I had liposuction of abs, flanks, and lower back. I chose Dr. Hasan based upon his experience of sculpting hour glass shapes. I decided to book a condo versus staying at Vanity's recovery house (based upon other Vanity customers' reviews). When I went to meet Dr. Hasan, it was the day before the surgery. The office did not discuss my blood test results and asked to undress in front of the staff (unprofessional) to take pictures on markers taped onto the floor. The day before the surgery the office lost my paperwork and require me to fill it out and hand it in the day of surgery. The day after surgery I was required to come visit the center. Since, I did not have drains, I developed seromas in my lower abdomen. The medical assistant decided that the fluid needed to be aspirated (drained) via syringe. The medical assistant took a large needle pulled out the fluid (300 cc). This was done without pain medication, which I found out later is not common practice. This aspiration happened again 3 days later. Currently, I am still suffering from the fluid filled sacs just to a lesser degree. I feel much better after getting lymphatic massage from a another plastic surgeon's massage therapist.

Most of the swelling has gone done. I still get occasional numbness and swelling. I started running again about 4 weeks ago. Sometimes I can feel numbness in my stomach from the impact of bouncing up and down.
