This is a video of my experience having liposuction to my abdomine and flanks as well as upper eyelid surgery to remove excess skin.

Liposuction (lipoplasty) is particularly well suited for women and men who are of relatively normal weight but have isolated pockets of fat that cause certain areas of their body to appear disproportionate. These localized fat deposits may sometimes be an inherited trait and typically do not respond to dieting or exercise. Liposuction is often the only way to eliminate them.

While it is possible to undergo liposuction at almost any age, you will obtain the best results if your skin still has enough elasticity to achieve a smooth contour following fat removal. When skin is inelastic, as in some older patient, it may not redrape well and a skin tightening procedure may be necessary.

Liposuction may sometimes be used to treat a condition called gynecomastia, or male breast enlargement, which frequently occurs among both teenage and adult males.

Liposuction should not be considered a substitute for overall weight loss, nor is it an effective treatment for cellulite, a condition that gives the skin an uneven, dimpled appearance. Alternatively, treatments may be considered, in some instances, to improve this problem.

Liposuction can be performed on several areas of the body at the same time, and it can also be done in conjunction with other aesthetic plastic surgery.

You may be a good candidate for liposuction if you have localized excess fat or if you desire contouring in any of the following areas:
Cheeks, jowls,neck, upper arms, breast or chest areas, back, abdomen, waist, hip, buttocks, inner and outer thighs, inner knees, calves and ankles.

Also known as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, and gives a rejuvenated appearance to the surrounding area of your eyes, making you look more rested and alert.

Specifically, eyelid surgery can treat:
Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision
Excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the upper eyelids
Bags under the eyes
Droopiness of the lower eyelids, showing white below the iris (colored portion of the eye)
Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid

While eyelid surgery can be expected to correct certain conditions permanently, you will continue to age naturally. Life-long sun protection will help to maintain your results.

  • @BloodSlut nowhere in this video does it even do so much as imply that she did this for her husband or that he didnt accept her.

  • what for use has this in 20 years she's dead annyway :s if ur husband doesnt take u for who u are than ur married the wrong person ;-)

  • While I do think it is Much better to be on the conservative side with eyelid surgery I think in this case, and in the case of the man with the woman in this video, that the surgery may have been a bit too conservative. I think they both could have used just a tiny bit more taken off the upper lids. But they do look good.
