“I was uncomfortable wearing a bathing suit. I could lose weight everywhere except in my thighs and bottom. To try to get rid of the extra fat, I would lose weight and my face would get thin and drawn. My friends thought I was looking too thin and I didn’t feel good either. In high school and college I did some modeling part time. But I had trouble with the clothing. From my appearance, people thought I was smaller that I really was and it was embarrassing not being able to fit the clothes, but what could I do?
Liposuction seemed to be the only answer/ The surgery wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be. After liposuction, I went from a size 6 to a size 4, which I think is my natural size. Now I find when I lose weight, I lose it all over. I has my liposuction six years ago and have since gotton married and had a baby girl. I’m thirteen weeks pregnant with my second child. I’m very happy that I had this done.

Comments: This patient contemplated having children in the future, so she did not have an abdominoplasty. Nevertheless, she had good contraction of the abdominal skin after ultrasonic liposuction.

“I was interested in lipo after I had a disease where I had to be on prednisone. I gained weight and couldn't fit in any of my clothes. I wanted to see what could be done for me. The procedure helped a lot. My clothes fit again. It's an ego boost. It makes you feel a lot better. This is an incentive to exercise and get even more in shape. I was feeling I couldn't make a difference. Now things are falling into place. I feel a lot better when I go shopping. It's an elective surgery but it's still surgery. You can't expect that you'll get the inches off and not have to do anything. You still have to work at it. I can exercise without wearing a big old sweatsuit.”

“I work out on a regular basis. I’m healthy and have done everything that I thought I could to put my body into the best shape that I could and it just seemed like no matter what I did I couldn’t lose the last little bit of excess weight I was carrying in my stomach and my hips. Liposuction has made a great difference. I love the way I look now in a swimming suit. My stomach is flat, it’s just the way I had always imagined that it would be.”

“I have always worked out and tried to maintain the same type of body weight that is good for me and just through heredity, I got a couple of areas that I did want to change. I had a girlfriend that had liposuction and she was happy and gave me the name of Dr. Swanson. I contacted his office and felt very comfortable about my decision. I was very pleased with the results. What I couldn’t do physically I changed surgically. I would tell anyone interested to go ahead and take the plunge.”

"I wanted to get rid of the saddlebags on my thighs. My husband and I scuba dive and the wet suit was always tight on the bottom and loose on top. After surgery, before the swelling set in, I got a glimpse of what I was going to look like and I thought, wow! This is going to be great. I was really pleased with what I was seeing in the mirror. Now I'm the same size top and bottom.
The surgery was 18 months ago and I love my new body. It does wonders for my self confidence. I got my first new swimsuit a month ago. Shopping for it was actually fun. My saddlebags are gone and I feel better about myself."

Comments: “This patient had an old scar of the abdomen that she did not wish to have revised. She dropped from a size 14/16 to a size 8. She said the procedure was life-changing for her. These pictures show the result of liposuction combined with dieting to maximize the result.”

“It’s been a month now since my surgery. I started as a size 14 and I’m down to a size 10 already. I’m wearing things I haven’t been able to fit in years. The results are actually better than I expected. Everywhere seems to be smaller. I love it. I feel like I’m forty. My husband says he married Miss America. I don’t know about that, but I think my whole body looks good now.”

"I work out all the time and I still couldn't get rid of the love handles around my waist. I'd heard about liposuction, but waited a year before I finally made an appointment with the surgeon. Now I wish I'd had it done sooner because it's great. I can now wear spandex to ride my bike. And I didn't mind when I had to buy new jeans because I'd lost two inches around my waist."

“At 53, I thought I was doing alright. I worked out with a punching bag three times a week. Nevertheless, I couldn’t get rid of extra fat around my abdomen and sides. I was sore and swollen for awhile, but I got back to work after only a few days. One month after surgery, I had dropped from a 36 waist size to a 33. The love handles were gone. Now I look like I’m in good shape. I’m looking forward to wearing a bathing suit again.”

“I had liposuction on my flanks, my abdomen, and my inner thighs. About ten years ago I began to accumulate a lot around my waist and other areas where I wasn’t getting much exercise so I got to the point where I was really miserable. I had grown out of all of my pants. I couldn’t get any of them on any more except for new ones that I would buy that would fit me and I felt really miserable. I couldn’t bend over without just feeling really miserable and hardly being able to get my breath. I really hadn’t had very much success as far as dieting or exercise although I had done both and never had any immediate or either lasting results from it so I thought this might be a tough way to go but I got it done and have it behind me and hopefully it would be what I was looking for. Now that it is over I am really glad that I had it done. Anytime I am able to get into another pair of trousers that I had grown out of I more or less decided that just discounts my bill. I am able to get back into most of the clothes that I wasn’t able to wear any more and I have gotten away from that full feeling and not being able to bend over comfortably and feel a lot better about myself too. We were in Cancun about a year and when I put on my swim suit I felt like I was just draping out all over my suit and that is definitely changed so I am looking forward to going back again this fall.
To anyone who is hearing or seeing me I would say that if you have a problem like that, growing out of your wardrobe or feeling miserable because you cannot get rid of extra fat through dieting or exercise alone, although I think those are two components that need to accompany even liposuction after it is all done, I think a person needs to stay in shape and not allow the ravages of time to take effect and lose the benefit that you have achieved. I think it is a viable solution for anyone that has those things in mind. The first two days you feel like you have been beat up and run over by a truck, but it is definitely worth it and I think, you know with the medications that you can take. Of course you can imagine I was pretty anxious to see what the results were going to be once I got healed up and I was really gratified when I first put on my trousers after I had healed up and I puled my belt up five notches beyond where I had worn it before and after measuring I discovered that I had gone from about a 38 to about a 33 on the waist.”
