Why She Chose CPS

“I decided to jump in head first and just try it out.”

Her Experience

“He was checking in on me, making sure that everything felt okay.”

Her Recovery

“I never took any of the pain medication afterwards.”

Brooke’s Story

So I would say about a few years ago, I started to notice an accumulation of fat under my neck. I hadn’t gained a ton of weight, so I wasn’t really sure where it was coming from. So I’d almost kind of just given up hope thinking that I could do anything that wouldn’t be super super invasive. And then I met with [Dr. Kanuri].

I just decided to jump in head first and just try it out because obviously the other things hadn’t worked for me in the past. So this would be a guaranteed result in the end.

I had my procedure under local anesthesia, so I was completely awake for it. And the whole time during the procedure, he was checking in on me.

If anything was uncomfortable, he was willing to numb even more. So that was super super comforting.

So 2 days later, I was literally out and about walking around. The only thing that you could tell was that I had just marks from the pen, but nothing else.

Transcript
Hi, my name is Brooke. I am a patient of Dr. Keri and I got a chin and neck liposection about five months ago. So, I would say about a few years ago, I started to notice an accumulation of fat under my neck. Um, I hadn't gained a ton of weight, so I wasn't really sure where it was coming from. Um, so I'd almost kind of just given up hope thinking that I could do anything that wouldn't be super super invasive. Um, and then I met with um Dr. Canary. Um, so I just decided to jump in head first and just try it out because obviously the other things hadn't worked for me in the past. Um, so this would be a guaranteed result in the end. Um, so I had my procedure under local anesthesia, so I was completely awake for it. And the whole time during the procedure, he was checking in on me, making sure that everything felt okay, nothing was feeling off or scary or if anything was uncomfortable, he was willing to numb even more. So that was super super comforting. And then after the procedure, um I would say the day of um I was a little like stiff and swollen, but I didn't have any excessive pain. I never took any of the pain medication afterwards. Now, I did prepare beforehand with um different like arnica tablets and things to make sure that my body would heal in a nicer way. That was with the suggestion of Dr. Kenery as well. So 2 days later, I was literally out and about walking around. Um, the only thing that you could tell was that I had just marks from the um, pen, but nothing else.
