Hi, I’m planning to get a breast reduction this year and it will be covered by insurance. I haven’t had my second consultation yet to ask the surgeon, but I’m hoping someone in here has had experience with this.

I haven’t stubborn belly fat and I’m considering adding some lipo to the breast reduction surgery since I will already be in surgery- best to get it all done at once, right?

For anyone who did this, can you describe the recovery? How much harder is recovery after lipo than just a breast reduction? How can I expect to feel afterward? Does it lengthen the recovery time significantly?

Hey guys had my surgery on 2nd aug immediately after my waist was exactly the same size and has stayed that size ever since.

I’m trying to be rational about this so at what point did you notice your waist size decreasing and how quickly did those inches drop off?

Thanks 🙏🏻

I’m so torn between lipo and an arm lift! Of course I’d like to avoid the scar. One surgeon said I could have good results with lipo/renuvion and another said my skin laxity would not give me good results with that and I should opt for an arm lift. I’m 57, at my ideal weight, no weight loss, no loose skin but definitely some creepy skin. Help!

so , I (F24) am someone who is pretty happy with how I look now after losing 40+ lbs, but I have ( and always have had, even at my leanest/ younger years) huge arms / batwings. I refuse to wear anything that isn’t long sleeved , even when it’s 100 degrees out I am covering my arms.

I also have an abnormally large forehead that im tired of covering with bangs and always being insecure about. The amount of hairspray I use is embarrassing.

Anyways, I have the opportunity ( I think) to splurge on these procedures this year if I want to. I’m currently a college student, but i do not need to worry about my rent for the most part since 90% is covered by aid I receive and I make the rest by babysitting ( which pays pretty good, so I usually have money left over even.)

Long story short, im going to have about 8/9k to “spare” in a few months, and am seeking advice on places where I should look into getting these procedures done within the US, although im open to taking a flight somewhere too if the costs would be much cheaper. It would also be a nice excuse to go on a trip to be honest. I’ve heard Korea has good doctors and options like fat burning injections.

My priority is the arm lipo, I would say. it would be nice to do both, but if not I’d be happy with at least doing my arms. And no, I am not being dramatic; I genuinely feel like my quality of life would be drastically better by getting this done. I’ve been going to the gym for years and built muscle but my arms have stayed huge ( I do have symptoms of lipidema such as extra fat by the elbows & my knees) and all of my other proportions are pretty great.

Can anyone give some input/ recommendations on doctors?

Hi,

I had 360 lipo (tummy, flanks and back) surgery 14 days ago, and recovery has been okay! Didn’t bruise a lot and the wounds are healing nicely.

I was looking for some advice, over the last couple of days, my flanks and small of my back has been stinging and a lot more sore then they have been, they almost feel like they are burning… could this be the bruising eventually coming out?

Thank you a lot in advance! 🤞🫶

Hi everyone,
I am 35M, pretty fit but have stubborn fat around my stomach/love handles. I’m considering Lipo 360 but honestly getting nervous from all the rough recovery stories here.

Is it realistic to be out walking normally after about a week and take a short flight after 2 weeks? Or are most people still pretty limited for the first month?
Would really appreciate hearing your actual recovery experiences, good or bad.

Thank you🩷

Hi babes!

I’m wondering if anyone had these three areas done at once and found a good stage 2 compression garment for all 3. I’m finding that most stage 2 compression is geared towards lipo360/TT but offer little to no support for additionally treated areas.

My PS is not super helpful and I’m just kind of struggling with finding something for all 3 areas. I’m already the smallest size available in marena stage 1 so I’m kind of running out of time to find a good stage 2.

I’m a 6ft male bodybuilder. On a 1 year long bulk at the moment and hovering around 18/20%bf

I have a few problem zones, that disappear when I get myself down to a competitive stage weight (<10%bf) but I want them gone for good

I feel so much better being super lean, but it’s not maintainable in a healthy way year-round

I can accept some softness around the abs, and the glutes when I’m heavier - that’s fine, and looks good on me. It’s the other areas that piss me off a lot.

I’d assume going through lipo is best when the fat cells are more saturated rather than doing it when you are leaner

Would love some advice

Maybe there’s other competitive bodybuilders here who can weigh in

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for honest experiences from people who have had liposuction, especially if it was for stubborn fat rather than major weight loss.

A few years ago I went through a difficult period. I broke my leg, couldn't exercise for about seven months, and was also dealing with depression. During that time I gained around 20 kg. Since then I've gotten back on track, started exercising regularly again, improved my mental health, and returned to roughly my previous size and weight.

The problem is that my body doesn't seem to have returned to its previous shape. I still have stubborn fat deposits around my stomach, hips, thighs, and butt, and even though I'm back to my normal clothing size, many of my old clothes don't fit the same way. It feels like my fat distribution changed permanently.

I work out about three times a week and generally maintain healthy habits, but these areas don't seem to be changing much. Because of that, I've started thinking about liposuction.

I have never had any cosmetic procedure before, so I have a lot of questions:

- Was liposuction worth it for you?

- How painful was the recovery?

- Realistically, how long did it take before you could return to normal life, work, and exercise?

- Is a two-week recovery period enough if I only have a short amount of time off?

- What does the aftercare involve? Is it mostly waiting for swelling to go down, or is there a lot more to it?

- If you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle afterwards, do the treated areas stay improved, or does the fat eventually come back?

- Are you happy with your results years later?

- If you're comfortable sharing, how much did it cost?

I'm based between Oslo and Zagreb and would probably consider having it done in Zagreb because it seems more affordable, but I'm mostly interested in hearing about people's experiences regardless of location.

I'm not looking to become extremely thin. I just want to know whether liposuction is a reasonable option for someone who is already active and at a healthy weight but is bothered by a few stubborn areas that haven't responded to diet and exercise.

Thanks in advance. I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences.
