What Really Happens During and After Liposuction -- New book tells true story of perils and emotional changes of cosmetic surgery procedure


LANHAM, Md., July 29, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Some people have thought about undergoing liposuction, and some even have it listed as a long-term goal. Kathyne Jackson did it, and she presents her daily experiences with the procedure in her new tell-all book, Dear Diary: What My Doctor Never Told Me About Liposuction (now available through 1stBooks). She describes the mental and physical feelings she endured, as well as the events that neither her doctor nor books could tell her.

An up-close-and-personal look at a typical patient's experience with liposuction, her book answers the questions those considering the surgery long to know: What will my body look like after liposuction? How much pain and bleeding will there be? Can I really return to work in a few days? Jackson touches on all these issues and gives a detailed account of her entire experience, including choosing a doctor, pre- and post-meetings with the doctor and what she endured for months afterward.

"If I felt pain, I wrote it down. If my bleeding caused problems, I told why. If I couldn't walk or bend without pain, I told how I coped with it. If, at times, I was a physical wreck, I discussed the reasons. Each day was a new experience and I wrote all of them down - good or bad," Jackson writes.

She also discusses her emotional changes. She speaks of her reasons for going through with it, how her family was unaware of the event prior to surgery and how it has changed her life: for better or worse. An explicit, no-holds-barred guide for those who have or are thinking about this cosmetic surgery, the book aids the patient through the process.

Would she do it again? Jackson answers that question and many others in Dear Diary: What My Doctor Never Told Me About Liposuction.

A freelance writer, poet and songwriter, Jackson has written for a radio station and church and published poems in several anthologies and magazines. She completed another book, Ranger & The Gang: The Case of the Twelve-Hour Deadline and is working on the next in the "Ranger" series. A divorced mother, she has two children.
