A girl on the old site, Louise, just had this procedure and I think she is happy with her results. I copied and pasted her testimony for you guys to read.
----------------
"Had my treatment on 22nd Dec, seems pretty good so far but not definite result for 6 weeks and they still feel a bit tight and look high. Hopefully they'll drop down and soften up a bit and look natural. Haven't measured but probably good 2-2.5 cups, defnitely less than 3. I think they put in about 220cc as they didn't get as much out of my little legs as I hoped (though I do look noticeably slimmer) but this is almost double the usual as I'd used Brava so the skin had more give in it from the past swelling. I was actually turned down by one doctor who said I was too thin so count myself lucky to have been treated at all. I'm v small with a curvy lower half and I now look much more proportional. A normal sized person would have got maybe 1.5 cups.
The recovery has been worse than the clinic advised but 'acceptable' providing I lie still but the actual procedure was painful and frightening, like being multiply stabbed with a car aerial. The lipo is described as 'fine needle aspiration' which I assumed would be some sort of fine suction cannula but it's actually an 18" 2mm gauge needle which needs to be stabbed in roughly repeatedly to break up the fat before it can be drawn up. The lipo was worse than the boobs and my legs are more stiff and painful than my bust. I am only allowed to use paracetamol as even Ibuprofen can thin the blood and I've felt quite sick (? liver metabolising anaesthetic) so haven't taken any since I left the clinic. After 4 days I'm still a bit stiff when I first stand up and sitting up hurts but otherwise pretty much back to normal. Not ready to go back to work.
----------- I think that the procedure is pretty cool but I have a low tolerance for pain and don't think I'd stand a chance on the table without my dear friend ibuprofen haha.
