“Winner, winner chicken dinner” has never really made sense to me, but I get it’s cutesy, lyrical, rhyminess. I liked winning as a child and I still like winning as an adult because it comes with perks. Perks are good, right? By definition a perk means:
1 : to make smart or spruce in appearance : freshen, improve —often used with up
So when I was selected for the “Total Body Makeover” by Innovations Med Spa let me assure you “perk” is an understatement. The perks from this opportunity comes with powerful pokes, prods, pangs and lots of pictures of proof. I'm not complaining, really, just saying that comes with a price. The down time is actually not too bad when you look at each procedure in isolation. However, rack 'em and stack 'em in three months and it adds up to some serious vacation days in The Land of Nod. Alone. This will certainly leave your loved ones in a well executed quagmire, “so plan ahead and plan to show exorbitant amounts of appreciation for those toeing the line for you!” she said to herself.
I'm still getting the occasional, “why would you do this?” which subsequently makes me feel worse than recovering from the ever so barbaric liposuction. However, others have shown the sweetest and most humbling support…the kind that requires thank you notes, on good stock. So it is with their support that I write this follow up sharing the good bad and the ugly of this journey, one I would do again.
Procedures completed
1. Thermage (face and neck)
2. Facial Fat Transfer
3. Liposuction of knees (transferred to face)
4. Liposuction of inner/outer thigh’s
5. Liposuction of belly (sculpted- nice!)
6. Liposuction of “love handles” (goodbye muffin top)
7. Liposuction of arms (aka bra fat)

We are currently halfway through the makeover but the hardest part is over, I'm told.
