    Here you go:



    Do make sure that your surgeon is properly accredited by this organization. You can find out if he is by searching here:



    I have no idea about costs in Australia. I think you'll find that it costs more in major metropolitan areas.

    I have had lipo done so many times I can't stop. upper/lower abs, flanks, lower/middle back, inner/outer arms, bra bulge. From NYC to Beverly Hills and even 2 in Pgh.
    It is well worth the time and money just as long as you have a great doctor that you trust.

    do you have any before/after pictures?

    why so many times? Do you do the same spot twice?

    I'm curious about lipo. So many pictures on the net are really overweight people that get it and still look fat (imo)

    not that many "spot treating" pics.

    I had my outer thighs and lower abdomen lipo'd when I had my BA done. He charged me $2000 extra for the lipo. I got rid of my saddlebags and the little pouch below my belly button that never seemed to go away.
    If I had the money, I'd do it again in a heartbeat

    Are you saying it grows back? I was always of the impression that lipo results are rather permanent unless you get into a binge eating habit given that the body only has a limited supply of fat cells and cannot produce new ones. So to redevelop problem zones the remaining fat cells would have to expand quite a bit.

    I've heard that your body can redistribute the fat. Like if I lipo my thighs then my tummy might get fatter or my neck or someplace I never had much fat before. I'm still debating getting it. have been thinking about it for years in my thighs. But so many before and after pics don't look very good. a lot of them I don't think look like they were worth the money.

    I am interested in getting VASER. There is a doctor in tampa that is supposed to be a leader in VASER but I still am unsure about whether I want to do it. I've heard you can end up with more cellulite from lipo.

    Actually, your body's supply of fat cells is well-nigh unlimited. When your body needs more places to put the fat, the existing cells divide and voila! more fat. This is how people can go from normal to morbidly obese, after all.

    Long story short, lipo is in no way permanent unless you stick to a good diet and a good exercise program forever after.

    As far as celluite is concerned I don't know after lipo. My Dr does lots of models and actresses and he is accustomed to not taking too much fat from many areas for intance.
    I don't know anything about any FL plastics. I have my guy and that's all I know.

    No you will not have to get the rest of your body done. Don't let that stop you from what you want.
    I will get lipo til I die. I love it.

    I'm confused..was this to me? I didnt say i HAD to get the rest done...just that I would if I had more money. There are a lot of small pockets I cant get rid of that I'd love to do.....someday....when I'm rich!

    But the rest of me hasnt taken on more fat or anything. I just couldnt afford to get everythig done that I wanted to at the time.

    Love handles and arms hurt the most. Back to your dance job in 2-3 weeks. 90% of lipo swelling will be done in 3 months. Full recovery for all sugeries is 1 full year. If you get your love handles done you might as well get your tummy and your back.
    By not touching one or a few areas could lead to the untouched area(s) getting big if you gain weight.
    Lipo is tricky. I can't stop it. I have a great dr that I have had for 5 years in LA.
    Last lipo sugery I have 1700 cc's removed from my tummy, lovehandles, lower/mid back. and even inner/outer arms and bra bulge from both sides.
    It took a good 6=8 weeks for the pain to be okay. Now I am all good. That was the most fat and most areas I had done at once. It was worth it.
