Liposuction and breast augmentation are by far the most requested procedure. Women want big breasts and little thighs and with one surgery you can have it all done. Before I came to Texas, I was in Virginia. I had liposuction on my thighs, a breast augmentation, and a facelift all at the same time. I was in my late 40s, and I came out and looked like a different person. It was a lot of fun. It really was, but I was in a world of pain. With all of those three things at once, you don't know what hurts the most; that's the way to do it. I looked at it like that. You can get up and go to the bathroom, but that's about all you can do for yourself. You hobble to the bathroom, and that's about it. You are not going to feel like eating. You have to take in a lot of fluids; get as much fluids as possible.
People say "what is the pain like?" and I always say that there is discomfort for about 2-3 weeks with liposuction. You can have bruising and swelling for 3-6 weeks, but everyday it does get better. The pain is going to become less and less. Everyone has different responses; painful to me might be discomfort to you. So I try not to discourage them. If they really want to get rid of their thunder thighs, if they really want to get rid of their big breasts, I encourage them to come in and get with the doctor and to get the facts that liposuction is one of the best things you can do for yourself if you have those big areas in your body that are really annoying you; that makes it hard to buy clothes; that makes you feel a little inadequate when you walk into a sales meeting. That's the way it was with me. I wanted to get rid of those big thighs because I have always been a professional business person, but I couldn't wear a suit. Well, it was just wonderful for me professionally to be able to change to more professional attire after liposuction. I will tell them there is discomfort, but we do give you pain management medications. And before you know it, you are going to look back and it is going to be a distant memory.
