Hey, cake! When I read your reply I felt as though I was reading what I was thinking. When I first got my bandages off, I was devastated. I felt ugly and so disappointed. Only three days later, yesterday, I felt like a different person. The swelling went down quickly, and I absolutely LOVE my new nose. I completely agree with you. It looks just like the nose I had when I was younger, what it SHOULD have developed into instead of my dad's schnoz, haha. I am so excited about my profile, I constantly rub the bridge to make sure it's not a dream. I am just so thrilled that I went through with it, although I'm still in the process of getting used to it (it was only 8 days ago)!
The stomach...well I should tell you that before the surgery I could probably fit a size two or four, so I definitely wasn't fat, but I had fat that wouldn't go away on my stomach. This had bothered me for a very long time, especially after having lost 20 pounds and seeing NO difference in my waistline. I had suction of the abdomen and waist, and it cost $5000. I guess everyone's idea of a good price is different. I mean, the fat pads and indentation they used to create are definitely gone, and my stomach is flatter. I would say that it was worth the surgery and the money, but is definitely only worth it for YOU if you will keep the weight off. Lipo gets rid of fat you can't, and that will never come back. But if you get lazy with losing weight, lipo isn't the answer because you can quickly reverse its effects.
Sorry this is so long. Overall message, cake: Go for the lipo: It's worth it, and I'm assuming since you know Aston, you are aware that his work is outstanding. Thanks for responding, please write back!
