I had originally gone and saw my plastic surgeon for lipo two years ago . He had suggested working out more with possibly a trainer . If the stubborn areas didn't go away then I would be a prime candidate. I worked out hardcore with a personal trainer for over a year and did the extreme diet plan laid out. Still was not happy with my total workout results. After a lot of research I felt that this was my best option .
I feel like I need to be super secretive as I fear judgment from others. Being 120 pounds and wearing a size 2-4 is still considered petit, but I was just so unhappy after having the last baby 5 years ago. It has only been 48 hours so far, I can already see some results:)
I will keep you all posted !!

Thanks for starting a review and for posting pics.  A lot of users feel the same way about needing to be secretive.  Are you hiding your surgery from everyone or does your immediate circle know?

I live in a really small town. The kind of money I have and just spent on my sugerys is not something obtainable by most. I know I already get viewed as being "skinny"
Pictures above really make me look large. A handful of my best friends are who I am sharing with. I'm not even telling my kids. Maybe when I am all healed I will feel more open. But right now, I'm gonna lay still, keep quiet, and pop the pain killers. This hurts worse than natural childbirth

I live in a small town too so I totally relate to wanting to keep it hush hush.  But I'm glad you have a few people you can talk to, it helps.  From all the reviews I've read over the years it sounds like the pain starts to get a lot better after the first week, but if you feel like your pain is higher than it should be don't hesitate to call your doctor.  Hang in there!

I think I am so sore since I had so many spots done.
Knees, inner and outer thighs, love handles and stomach . Feeling a bit better today. Much more mobile, but def tender when I move.

How many cc s of fat did he get out?
February 13, 2016
He said he got 3000cc outta me
Usually 15% of that is the fluid they injected

So I had my sugery 4 days ago. Not gonna lie, it hurts like hell . Feel like red hot pokers are stabbing me, itchy puffy and swollen. But so far I can see my love handles are actually gone!!!!! I painfully put the same undergarments on so you can see the progress. The bruising isnt to bad. But I am super tender everywhere , and sore to move.
