So after what seems like a lifetime of diet after diet and countless gym memberships and workout plans, my “mommy shelf” as I like to call it, just wouldn’t go away. After having Mia, i developed this large horizontal hanging bulge of fat below my belly button that ran the entire width of my body. After going to Klein Dermatology for lip filler, I learned that they performed a cutting edge procedure called “Tumescent Liposcution”.
In essence, its a form of liposuction where you are fully awake for the procedure, the area is numbed, and then the fat is sucked out. It is essentially painless and there is little to no downtime. It turns out that not only did Dr. Klein perform this procedure over 8,000 times but he is the one who actually invented it and trains other doctors on how to perform it. Dr. Norma, has been with Dr. Klein since practically the beginning and has performed the procedure 3,000 times. They are like the Batman and Robin of Tumescent Liposuction. EXACTLY who I wanted to do my procedure. After consulting with Dr. Klein and Dr. Norma, they assured me I was a great candidate for the Tumescent Lipo procedure and would be extremely happy with my results.
This video is part 1 of a 3 part series and will showcase the “Pre-Op” portion of my procedure.

Procedure Overview:
Pre-Op: Visit with doctor and staff to go over desired areas, pricing, procedure, expectations, after care, etc. Day of Surgery: Infiltration – Takes about 60+/- minutes, the area is injected with lidocane to numb it.
Marinate – About 90 minutes where you relax and let the numbing take full effect. You are fully awake and can read a book, play on your phone, or do what I did and take a nap lol
Liposuction – anywhere from 1-2 hours depending on area size, a small cannula is used to take the fat out safely and precisely. Post Op: You are wrapped up with a layer of absorbent pads, covered by a shapewear garment and then binders. This keeps swelling to a minimum and helps the healing process. There will be some “leaking” as the remaining fluid exits the body through the tiny holes through which the infiltration and liposuction were done. This typically only lasts 48 hours of less. Mine was super quick and very minimal after the first 24 hours. I had purchased a waterproof liner for my bed to be safe but never soaked through my garments or pads which is awesome.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and all the information. I had lipo on Monday April 15, and this video confirmed so many things my doctor had already told me. Thank you and the staff at Dr. Klien's office.
Everything you said at the end of this explaining the “shelf “ struggle I feel the exact same way ughhh I hate it!!!! The struggle is so real I know everything you were explaining and how you felt
Nothing wrong with your body you womens need stop putting yourself in risk of dying under the knife
Hey beauty! I’m wondering what size you were when you started and what size you ended up being?
Wow he is an artist. We really need more videos like that
ha ha ha. i never saw someone showing her body in this way. brave lady.
im scray about it.
DARN Wrong Orange County! I'd love this! Can you make a video on how you cover your mommy shelf? I have it too and can't get rid of it in skorts and dresses!
Thank you boo I totally understand I have body dismorphia really bad. I got married on 6/9/18 & hated every pic I was in. My husband is so supportive I told him this is what I want done ASAP. I’ve heard it all that I should love myself regardless but people can’t understand as long as I’m doing it for myself that’s all that really matter. Good luck with everything I’m so sure you’ll feel much better afterwards.
I’m in Southern California and very interested in this kind of lipo… I have questions about the cost. I don’t want to put you on the spot on social medial but was it really expensive? You look great by the way!
Wishing you the best,..
You don't need to be insecure. I honestly think you look amazing but I can't wait to watch the remaining vlogs❤❤
I love how you’re showing that loving your body doesn’t mean you can’t make small changes to it. I’ll definitely be watching the next video.
