main reason why i chickened out was cos of skin necrosis. i didn't quit smoking! he told me of the risk since its a huge area. my fault entirely, i didn't think it'd matter. he's a relatively youngish looking doctor. he mentioned that cosmetic surgery is a hobby in which he enjoys and he performs only 1 liposuction procedure a day because it's rather tiring since he spends 3-4 hours sculpting your body. he lives there in the house converted clinic by the way with the patients. it's a really homely clean and new. he has a maid who cleans up the place i think. i think he cares about his reputation more than anything, he's very honest with his patients. another girl who came on the same day as i did was going to perform lipo a day before me on her arms. she told me she cancelled too after surgery cos he has to remove some skin if not there might be a chance of excess skin. so she opted out. i think that made me think twice too but i pressed on until consultation. i thought to myself "get it over and done with" but after further consideration i thought what the hell this might scar me for life. so i decided maybe this isn't for me.
i met 2 sisters who did it there for their tummy and this time went back to do it on the arms. spoke with them briefly and they preped me for the pain before i decided to back out. its case study number 6 on the website which i've met.
during my consultation he pointed out how bad the epi scarring. he asked me where i did it. told him location not doctor. let's just say he had rather shocking things to say about nara. said how he has no respect for him. he said initially he thought nara was a great doctor thats why he was that famous but then he realised that he was famous cos he was cheap. told me that a patient told him that 10 of her referrals went with her and they all got hep b. he said that if a surgeon performs 10 surgeries a day that means he needs 10 sets of tools a day. he showed me the proper equipment used to sterilise tools. it looks like a roundish barrel thing. hmmm... don't really know what to think. any comments guys?
all in all kinda sad i didnt get it done. bittersweet. but i think i'll do it the proper way. exercise and diet pills haha. i've lived with my chubs for this long whats another year with exercise and dieting....
