Your experience! Anyone had LIPO?

Question

I am seriously considering tumescent liposculpture around my abdomen & waist. Has anyone had it done? How did it go? Any advise? And are there any experiences or stories of it going wrong (other than tara reid)?

Great 1st reply. I will be in my mid thirties if I go with it at the time I think I`ll be ready (after my babies). I am healthy and 55kg. I have a pouch (but not all droopy) that even when Ive been fitter is still there, and it is noticable against an otherwise good figure.
I have been doing research, this question is part of it. I`m sure there are bad case studies, and good ones. I just havent found much of them when I google. In fact I havent found any bad ones yet.

Yupper... You do not state your age or health, so I would advise you to be cautious - the older, and the more frail you are, the more likely I would suspect that you will have problems about a year or two AFTER the procedure - just based on looking at people I know who had the surgery...
The problems occured a year or two later or three, - one on an airplane, where the air pressure and immobility triggered a clot to move, which killed the person in a month. The second case was more or less the same thing - a heart attack, again from a clot that had moved from ' somewhere'... ( both people had the lipo near the same time, and both people died near the same time... )
Please do a WEB search for actual case studies of people who have done the procedure and look at the 1 to 5 years AFTER to see what the general health of the person was.... I have not seen an official study, but I would be suspicious.
My personal " guess" would be that you are better off spending two years or so on a solid weightloss and exercise program, since at the end of the program you would be in BETTER condition! Shortcuts are just that. Exactly what is being cut short would be the question...
If you watch TV programs of people who have the severe stomach staple and lipo, they seem happy immediately after, but the TV programs do not show the people 5 years later...

Sorry to be negative, since you are obviously hoping the lipo will solve your image transformation, but please do your research...
