So about my results....there is definitely a difference in my outer thighs and he skimmed up my calfs. It looks good from the front but he left a botched indent in my right calf. I’m still trying to get it resolved.

Little discouraged...
Ok here's what's going on with me...I'm feeling like I paid far too much for me to look at myself and say it looks ok...he could and should have taken out more fat. My arms still have the fat deposits i originally went there to have removed and legs have fat deposits as well in the same problem areas. For 10 thousand I expected so much more :/ not to mention the extra 3500 I spent to come out to marina del Rey!! This is week 3...so I'm halfway to my completion. But I really need to talk to them about this I shouldn't feel Ike this and be out of money and taking time off work for just ok. I thought everything looked sooo good but now that bruising is gone and I'm healing I still feel so big. Very depressing.

Try not to be discouraged. Actually pretty much every dr says it takes a full 4-6 months to see the final result. I am 10 weeks out and have good and bad days with my results. Lately, by evening, my stomach looks really bloated, especially when sitting..it's gross and looks almost as bad as before..then the next am...totally flat..anyway,hang in there you have a lot of time to shrink up! :)

Can you post some post op pics? I can understand being discouraged but give your body the time it deserves. I have a friend who had lipo and she had great final results. I ask her a million questions all the time and we compare. But one thing she says for sure…your body changes everyday and you truly don't see the FINAL results until month 6. She said you feel 100% at about month 3-4. But swelling comes and goes randomly for a while longer. If things do not start to go from OK to fantastic at month 6 I would ask your doctor what kind of revisions he can do at no extra charge.

Stoker did a horrible job on me. Very poor communication, rushed consultations. He liposuctioned 8 areas of my body, one which was not consented and recommended at least 10 lipo procedures including my cheeks when I am tall and thin. I feel I looked anorexic after surgery and lost my feminine curves. I still have pain 8 months after the procedure. There are more inappropriate things that I felt I experienced at that office but I don't want to go into detail right now. I would never recommend him.

So impressed!
I have to give props to Dr. Stoker. He did an amazing job on my legs :D
I recommend him to anyone looking for the same work because of their similar insecurities. Today is also Day One of no pain. I can stretch now without a problem. May I also mention I am still taking post op meds that I bought from makemeheal.com and have come to realize how important massaging your lower legs are in this particular operation. Because I had my ankles calves and knees done my swelling was worse than I expected a week after my surgery. And stayed excessively swoll for a total of 5 days or so. But because of massage it has helped tremendously. I love taking off my garment to shower lol
