    Default I scheduled my lipo consult

    Yea I finally did it. However my reasons for it aren't just the obvious ones. He is the same doc who did my BA. He has 23 years experience in the field. I really want lipo but I'm having the same feeling I felt when I wanted a BA is the feeling of 'what if'. What if I turn out lumpy or I have huge cannula scars?

    I read on his website that he does not offer Smartlipo and Im going to ask him, a man of 23 years experience, why he doesnt offer it. There is a doctor in Coronado who does offer Smartlipo with great results here:
    http://www.sandiegolipo.com/photo-ga...fm?Category=34

    Besides, if he says I should shut up and workout some more then I might schedule a consult with Dr Schafer to see if Im a better candidate for Smartlipo instead. If neither then I'll grumble my way to the gym and back for several more months. Also I plan to have my debt down there paid off by the end of summer so no worries on me taking out loans for something I should pay in cash if Im a good candidate.

    Its the 19th of June so I'll let y'all know what he says. Im really curious as to what a doctors POV comparison of the two types of lipo is.

    I keep reading more and more about the Smart Lipo thing....I really like the way it sounds. Has anyone here had it? Results? Cost?

    Congrats TM! Can't wait to see some pics of after!

    ^^Well we'll see how it goes. There are just spots that will never go away on me. They never have even when I was working out 5-6 days a week. I know Im not fat in any way but the doc Im going to will be honest with me about getting it or not. Lipo seems so much more evasive than a BA. The brusing, that garment (ew) for 6 weeks, post surgery temporary lumps, etc.

    In case anyone is interested here is a link to the different kinds, widths and lengths of the regular cannulas.

    I'm really interested in the smartlipo too!

    I talked to a PS in NJ that does it and he said I wouldn't be a good candidate and then I kinda dropped it. He said my issuse were more bad posture and gas than fat. I still think there's fat too.

    ^^hahaha. Like the love handles those are the last to go with me. The ratio of my wide hips to my tiny waist. I just want less hips.

    Smartlipo is about 3K-5K per area. Regular is about 5K-6K per area but also sucks out up to 2 liters at a time while smartlipo is at most 1 liter at a time.

    plus smartlipo has faster recovery time, which means less time out of work, which of course translates into $$$.

    I'm very interested in having lipo/smart lipo/VASER myself. I have been for years. I want to find the right doctor and have the right procedure because a lot of results I've seen pics of are AWFUL!

    I'll be curious to see what your doctor says and see what you decide. I could gain 30 lbs or lose 10 and I still would have extra fat in the same areas. My body is just uneven with too much in the bottom part.

    Ok I got back from my consult and he said theres not much to suck out especially of my thighs. Because of my large hip bones there would be special attention to them as to not to leave dents or lumps because there isn't much fat there. He said at most he probably would take out is a quart and a half. Then again he's kind of conservative. He uses a 3.0-3.6mm cannula.

    I would be getting my stomach, flanks, and thighs done he would have to make 6 holes and its about just over 7K to get it all done. Also, because of the amount being sucked out I would have down time of 2 weeks but I'd wait and not look like my pimp beat me up and go back to work later.

    I want I want!!!!

    add:
    Since its such a small amount I'm thinking about going to see the smart lipo guy for another consult and then deciding. At this point I only have 2K saved up...I should probably take that and pay off my cc. Yea smarter idea.

    Well this is me now:
    Just want the handles and sides of my thigh gone.

    You want it in the areas I do. I don't have money saved up yet either but it is what I want to start saving for soon. I have no clue what doctor to go to though.

    For anyone who reads this *update time*
    So I had my SmartLipo consult today at Dr. Schafer's office with a nice lady named Anjeanette. It was about and hour long so I got to ask all my questions about it. I learned alot from what she said.

    A few new things included heavy leaking of your liquefied fat cells through your incision holes so much so that you need to sleep on a shower curtain for the first 2 days.
    *You still have to wear a compression garment. One garment for the first 3 days and a different type of garment for the following 1 week after the initial 3 days.
    *Heavy workouts and weight training can be done 4 weeks after the procedure. *You bloat the most about 1-1 1/2 weeks after the surgery.

    This place has a limo that picks you up and drops you off after the surgery included. For your next day follow up you are ok to drive yourself. I asked to get my inner and outer thighs, back thighs, hips and handles done. The price 3900 for the first area and 2000 more for each additional...its about 5 areas total I'm getting. Plus, room fee and no anesthesia fee.

    So if any of you have questions for stuff I may have left out feel free to ask.

    Be VERY careful when you take off the compression garment. Have someone with you when you do it. The sudden rush of blood and fluids to your brain will more than likely knock you out instantly. Have someone there to catch you.

    Didn't know that... thanks for sharing LM. Hold on more stuff coming back. Wearing the garment and buying new ones: remember to not get ones that have boned or stays (sp?) in them. They temporarily form on your body.

    so is each area, inner, outer, hips, etc. considered a new area? So if I wanted my inner and outer thighs, hips, tummy, and whatever else I need to make sure it comes out best it could be easily 10k? ouch!

    Did you get to look at some of his before and afters? If I end up paying that much money for a procedure I want to be damn well sure it'll come out awesome!

    Congrats! I had the Vaser done on my belly and my flanks by Dr. Sessions. I was charged 4000 for everything. He did an awesome job--no tracks, no lumps, or any other complication caused by lipo. It seemed to permanantly tighten my skin as well (I had a little bit of loose skin from pregnancy). Over a year later, my belly still looks nice (given that I don't do the alcohol, caffeine, and too much sugar). It almost looks the same as it did pre-pregnancy for me. I want to get my boobs done by this doctor as well. Good luck, sweetie!
