BEWBZZZ 77 Posted January 6, 2024 Report Share Posted January 6, 2024 Hi im 2 days post op from liposuction with Dr Chen @ Ashbury, I know there have been some mixed reviews but I can't fault him, but I had liposuction to my inner/out thighs upper abdomen & flanks, I went with laser as well to help with skin contracture as I have previously had 2 children, I'm swollen but I have had a dramatic difference I was starting to get the saddle bag arse and I've always carried weight on my love handles, but now all of my clothes are loose and I have a thigh gap they took off just over 4 L when I have my F/U I will get the before photos and do a before/after. The experience of the procedure itself was bizarre its a conscious sedation so you have move around for them to suction the different areas, I had some valium when I arrived to calm my nerves and then time flew, I was on the table for maybe 4.5 hours but it felt like 20 mins, the local stung the most and I could feel the cannula moving over my hip bones but they constantly kept topping my IV up with meds so I was ok. I wore a eye mask as well. rafter surgery because it was only a light sedation I felt really good just tired I went Home and slept only waking to take my medications I leaked a fair bit as well mainly from my back and under my bum. Im really sore but only when I move if I lay still on my back I'm am quite comfortable. the pain I can best describe is like working out and being really really bruised, just a ache but bearable.i have some swelling in my knees but again thats too be expected. I feel faint if I get up to quickly so I am only doing very light activity just walking around the house every hour or so. I will keep u updated on my results Quote Link to post Share on other sites
angel999 0 Posted February 18, 2024 Report Share Posted February 18, 2024 Thanks for sharing . Glad to find someone who went through the same Laser liposuction like I did . The nurse Maureen told me later that Dr.Chen spend extra time on my procedure as he was a perfectionist . The weird thing is I cannot remember the procedure except for when Dr.Chen put in the anaesthetic drip in. There was a bit of leaking during the 1st day or two . I was amazed to noticed the major reduction in the size of my tummy and waistline even on day two . I am so glad I chose laser liposuction ( Smartlipo) instead of the normal liposuction as not only my fat had been removed but my flabby skin is tighter too. Some days i still get some swelling and tenderness. Dr.Chen says that should subside with time . Overall I am happy that my result is better than I expected even though Dr.Chen tried to tone down my expectation during the initial consultation . Hope you have a good recovery.

Bre 1 Posted February 19, 2024 Report Share Posted February 19, 2024 Hi , I am keen of having Laser Liposuction done but concern about loose skin . I have lost weight but still have some pockets of stubborn fat. Do you think laser liposuction will help? Hope you don't mind me asking how much did it cost ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dominikindi 0 Posted March 27, 2024 Report Share Posted March 27, 2024 Yes the surgery will help you to loose fat. The aim of liposuction procedure is to remove the stubborn fat from the body which do not respond to diet and exercise. Also the laser liposuction cost in mumbai is much more affordable.
