Before Pictures - Smart Lipo Round 3

Here are a series of pictures that I took the night before the procedure.  The first procedure was done on Monday and focused on my mid section from the belly button up to under my ribs.  The doctor also did my back so as to have the best results possible.

So many people think I'm crazy because I complain about my body all the time .. particularly how much I hate my thighs.  No one understands why.  I've always been pretty good at buying clothes that hide the parts of my body that I hate.

These pictures should make it clear why I feel the way that I do!


 

 

 

I have a bit of a boyish shape - very square.  The doctor said that with the focus being above the belly button, she could help give me more of an hour glass shape.

My biggest issue is with my left thigh.  If the left thigh looked like the right thigh, I probably would have just deal with it.  But I cannot stand how there are clumps of fat on my inner thigh.


I have little to no fat on my outer thighs, which is surprising.  All those years of running has done me some good, but it hasn't done anything for the inner thighs.

The turning point for me was really when the dress code at work changed and we were required to wear business attire on a daily basis.  I cannot tell you the number of dress pants that I tried on that looked HORRIFIC.  It went from a "flat" stomach to having my inner thighs sticking out.  I decided that I couldn't deal anymore so I made the appointment.

I know there will be people who will disagree with my choice.  I have already had a friend asked me if I am addicted.  Anyone who knows the amount of pain that you endure going through this would never assume you were addicted.  Every day I questioned if I really wanted to put myself through this again.  I knew it was going to be really bad.  Ultimately, I decided that I was worth it.  I could handle the pain and I would be happier once this was all over with.

More to come!

Plastic Surgery – It’s Not an Easy Choice

Here I am, still contemplating whether I want to get Smart Lipo done on my thighs. I hate my thighs. Absolutely hate them! I know I posted some pictures before but this one really shows the issues that I was talking about. The way the fat protrudes out is apparent no matter what I’m wearing whether it’s jeans or shorts. The only way I can get away from it is if I’m wearing a dress or a skirt. But I’m not going to lie – I’m scared. Does it look bad now? Yes. But what if it ends up looking worse. You may be wondering where this is coming from. Well – I must say, I regret getting the CO2 Laser Resurfacing done on my stomach. It may have improved my stretch marks SOME , but it caused other weird problems. I didn’t have divits before and now I do. Granted. a tan would help too. However, I’ve been doing ab exercises every day. Switching it up constantly so that my body doesn’t get too accustomed to any one particular thing. Mind you, I haven’t put on any weight either ...

Smart Lipo - Inner Thighs - Day 3

Monday, I had my upper stomach and back done.  On Wednesday, I went back to have my inner thighs done.  The pain was minimal in comparison to what I had experienced on Monday.  That could also be due to the fact that my body was still in shock. The procedure was pretty quick.  The doctor decided to do CO2 Laser Resurfacing on the outside of my thighs where I had the most excess skin.  I was beyond surprised when she brought it up.  I knew what it cost me to have the stretch marks done on my stomach and here she was going to do both of my thighs - for nothing?!?! The one thing that means the most to me about my experience with Dr. Kaufman, is that she is a perfectionist.  Yes, she has made a good amount of money off of me, but at the same time, she could easily be in it just for the money and suggest such a service and then say, well, that will be an extra $1,000.  They are so incredibly good to me at that office!  I absolutely love them! ...

After Pictures Update

I am truly sorry that I haven't posted in a while. Not a whole lot has changed in terms of my body as of late. Well, that's not entirely true. I've been working on my tan - and let's be honest, everything looks better tan! I've also put on a few pounds. I'm not sure if it's due to the stress at work or the sheer amounts of alcohol I've consumed as a result of that stress. Either way - I'm up to 187lbs, which is clearly not where I want to be. I've decided it's time to redirect my energy and start using exercise as an outlet instead of alcohol. It's not an excuse, but some days I just want to go out with friends and vent about all the things that are stressing me out - and as a society, what do we do to be social - either go to a bar for drinks or a restaurant for food. I did get my best friend to join the gym but that presented another problem - too much talking and not enough working out. Like with everything in life, it's ...
