    Honest Lipo Assessment

    Alright girls. Ladies. Er. Actually, guys too, because you look at us all day.

    So if I wanted to get my boobs done, I'd find the girls with the nicest BJs (heehee) and ask who did them. But it's not so easy with the lipo since the scars are invisibleish. I want to get about a pound lipoed off the sides of each of my thighs (and spare me the 'accept yourself how you are' cause i have great teeth and never had braces so i think i'm owed one corrective procedure )

    The girls who had lipo (especially on the legs) can you tell me if your skin ever returned to normal? Did you end up with crazy cellulite? For those of you who got the "saddlebag" area done and had a nice @$$, did it mess up your butt shape? Any input from the guys?

    Please please please help. PM me or post here or post anonymously. Because while there's a ton of lipo support out there, it seems most of the people who do it don't have the exact same concerns that a dancer does.

    I've been thinking for years of getting thigh lipo. I haven't done it yet. I've looked at so many pics I'm not convinced it will be an improvement so I'm curious about this too. I know one woman who had it done and she said don't do it because then you'll get fat in places you never had it before.

    that's not quite true

    obviously you will be able to gain weight, but you will not gain it in the same way. The fat cells you had removed are gone. They will never come back. You will not gain new fat cells, but the ones you have will expand when you gain.

    I've heard though that your body will redstribute and possibly put more fat in new places. I even had a plastic surgeon tell me this. Although I'm wondering if you don't gain weight is that true also? Like will my body decide, "hey, something's missing and I need to find a place for it"?

    yeah, when i had my consult, the doc's assistant (who had done the same thing i was contemplating) said that she now gains weight in areas she never did before. i happen to know the top 5 places i gain weight, so if i get rid of one or two, that means i'll have a big ole belly?? eek!

    i'm worried about saggy skin and stuff. i saw a lot of message boards where women were saying "yeah, i look GREAT with clothes on but i won't be seen in shorts/bathing suit anymore." a girl i work with got it but... her skin was kinda mediocre to begin with. i also read that, for some reason, after a year(ish) people seem to have more trouble with the long term consequences. can't really call them side effects.

    well thank you guys for writing back. i guess those in SW who had lipo are, for the most part, refusing to admit it. :-)

    Ok, on getting your thighs lipoed...

    BEWARE! It can often make the appearance of your thighs even worse. If you have a considerable saddlebag on your outer thigh you should be fine to have some cc's of fat removed. If it is minimal, you may come out with a bunch of cellulite. I strongly DO NOT recommend getting your inner thighs liposuctioned unless your skin is very firm and elastic in this area. The skin will sag like an old lady afterwards if it was already previously stretched out. Fortunately, I didn't have this problem, but I did have TOO much fat removed and now I have to get fat injections to even some sunken indentions out.

    I had my thighs and hips done, a total of 4 lbs. I love it, and my skin is wonderful--tight, and muscle lines showing. I had it done because I was working out like a mad woman, and was small & tight pretty much everywhere else, but COULD NOT lose weight here. I have essentially no visible scaring, great skin and muscle tone, no cellulite at all. My legs and hips look better than ever. I am the poster child for success.

    A lot goes into successful lipo surgery. My doctor evaluated my skin-tone, age, and lifestyle before he agreed to do surgery. We discussed realistic expectations, and what it would take to maintain results. I've not gained weight in other areas--in fact, I've been able to lose weight more easily now, and tone up more visibly. I went from 128 lbs last fall to 102 right now, and my skin is tight as a drumhead. To get these results, you have to work out (I swim 3 days a week, as well as do resistance training on off swim days), eat well, and follow post-op instructions to a T. My only regret is I didnt have him do that stupid little pouch on my stomach that I cannot lose no matter how thin I get (no children, but it's always been there--even when I was UBER tiny @ 95 lbs and working out daily; gotta love genetics).

    My surgery was ~$6k, but it was worth every penny. I had little bruising, and almost no real discomfort. I saw immediate results, which continued to improve over the next 6-8 months. My skin was never really loose, but was back to it's full pre-surgery tautness within a few months. My doctor was AMAZING, and did as many pre-op sessions (for free) as I needed to feel comfortable. No one even knows I had it done, even nude, unless I tell them. At 33, I often now get mistaken for 19-24, and would do it again in a heartbeat.

    Lipo can be great if you get a good doctor, have realistic expectations, dont get too much taken out, and follow your post-op recommendations.

    hey guys! when I had my breast implants done, I had the doctor lipo out any fat he could find in my waist/sides and inject it back into my ass (its not injected directly, they treat it). its called fat grafting. I had very little fat to lipo, and I was drinking fattening shakes everyday for like two weeks before surgery to try and gain a few pounds. anyway, i used to be slightly overweight in like junior high, adn there was always some stubborn fat hiding my abs, even though I didnt have any fat on me anywhere else. well, i got it taken out and put back into my butt! now i hope it sticks as well where its at now!
    anyway, the lipo gave me a totally flat stomach, but on top of that you can really see all my ab muscles and i look chiseled, like i sculpted them! ive always had strong stomach muscles i could just never see them. now i look like GI Jane in the stomach or somethin ;-)
    anyway... the skin was a little loose at first, but i wore a compression garment for about a month, and it tightened up. skin tightens depending on how young you are, if you smoke, and your skin type. i was afraid mine wouldnt tighten - its pretty soft and pliable. but it tightened up!
    i still wear the same size pants, only i fit them a little different. its made me wear my clothing a little lower - in other words it moved my waist down some.
    pretty neat i would say.
    i got it all done at the same time by this famous doctor in Mexico - theres a yahoo group dedicated to getting all the girls that love him down for appointments. oh, and guadalajara was beautiful.
    hope this helps!

    forgot to mention prices:

    510cc silicone gel high profiles implanted under the muscle - $3500
    lipo of stomach and sides with fat grafting to the butt - $2750

    i went out of the US to get silicone gel. Dr. Cardenas is very famous and his family is well connected in both politics and the medical profession. oh, and he's tall dark and handsome too! the hotel was next door and the food was cheap and delicious.
    after i left the hospital and limped back to my room on my boyfriend's arm, all i could think about was getting some cheese enchiladas! (after eating noodle soup and apple pieces for two days). oh, i also saw harry potter with spanish subtitles while there.

    Dr. Steven Morris, Midland MI. He's one of the top docs in the state, and is very reputable. His office staff is amazing: caring, friendly, and helpful. The surgery was one of the best experiences I ever had. If you want more info, PM me--also, if you go to him, let him know I referred you :-)

    Check out Dr. Newall in Houston, Texas. His website is www.Dr.newall.com, or www.mybeautifulbody.com He has tons of before and after photos. I live in Michigan and traveled there for surgery. I think he's the best in the country. Hope this helps.

    Yeah, I have been thinking of having a breast enhancement with lipo myself. I am a full C in my left breast and full B in the right. I want to even it out. People tell me it is not noticeable but I still would like to fix it for my own security reasons. I also have never been able to get rid of my little pouch unless I get super skinny or the little bit of fat in my thighs. I don't want to thread hijack here so I will start a new thread with my pics so you guys can give me an opinion as to whether I need lipo or breast enhancement.

    I did my tum in Europe about 15 months ago. I was pleased at the results but 1 year later the fat returned. Nowhere near as bad as before, but I need to do it again. It did leave bad scars on me though.
