I've lost 50 lbs in the past two three years. I've led a healthier lifestyle the past year. However, I still have back rolls, fat around bra line, and a slight pooch that hangs a little. Even though, I've been toning, I'm still not satisfied so I've decided to look into Lipo.

I met with Dr. Araya/ Vita Surgical on October 8th for my consultation. I have a lapband and a small hernia. I can't get my upper abdomen done because of the lapband which is a bummer. However, he can treat my lower abdomen, sides, flanks, top of buttocks, and arms. He said he couldn't do my bra line and my lower abdomen. He was very pleasant and I was impressed with the before and after pictures especially all of the patients of color.

I'm going to send an email and ask if I don't get my arms done can I get the bra line done. Thats more important to me.

Also, starting to get nervous after reading so many reviews about liposuction, the pain and the healing.

I'm not sure about the fat transfer but lower abdomen, flanks, sides, love handles is around 4700.

Hi there was there any reason he said no to the bra line

I'm not sure. Probably because of the amount of fat to be taken or he would have to make more incisions at the top.

Hey everyone. My surgery is scheduled for 6 AM and I'm on the way now. I'm a bit nervous since I don't know what to expect. Also, about the pain that's in store for me. I sent an email to my admins and I'm taking next week off. I purchased two garments to start off with. I also ordered Arnica, Arnica gel, and Bromelin. Prayers up!
