90 Days Post-op Abs and Flanks. Slow Progress and Still Sore - King of Prussia, PA

I'm a healthy white male. This was my 50th birthday gift to myself. I know it's still too early to know the results but they kept telling me I'd be back to work in 2 days. Yeah, I can work, but it's uncomfortable as hell.

I did see immediate results the next day. I probably gained a few pounds, probably from swelling, but all in all I'm 9 pounds lighter than pre-surgery. I'm nowhere near where I hope to be when this is all over but I have faith it's going to turn out fine.

My only two complaints are the persistent soreness of my entire abdomen and, when I go for my follow-up visits, I never get to see a doctor.

She never saw me once following the procedure. I found this very shocking. Follow-up care was left to office personnel.

well my husband had his tummy done also and it looked about like yours and he just turned 50 in march and had his done in December. He too looked great the day after but then after the swelling he didnt look so great anymore. he has gained a few pounds though and is now trying to lose ten pounds per dr.s orders before he will do it again with no charge. he looks greeat comepared to before dont get me wrong but we had expected alot more. he had also gotten his chest done and that does look better but not as good as we had hoped either. our dr. is great though! he is willing to re-touch both areas at no extra cost. my husband did have a lot to work with so i dont blame our dr. i am just saying you start out with what you have and dont expect a miralce. maybe your dr. will do some extra work for you too if you are not satisfied. we had to wait six months though so in june he is set up already for the next procedure again. just hang in there and see if it comes around and i STRONGLY recommend no gaining weight as that will throw you off. good luck and post new pics soon.

You used the same doctor I did. I totally agree with your opinion on the her. She was very thorough with her examination and was extremely kind during the procedure. She assured me she would do an awesome job because she would "work on" me the way she would want to be worked on herself. I went for a follow up yesterday - this means it was 10 days post for my arms and bra fat and only 5 days post for abs & flanks. The nurse said I was healing great but I also wish I was seen by the doctor herself. I am still very sore in the abs and hip area and even the arms but nothing I can't handle. I wear my garment all day except for maybe 30 minutes just to get a "break". I can see a difference even with the swelling, it's just hard for me to picture the end result right now. I didn't take any before pictures myself but wish I had. I can only go by what's in my file at the doctors office; which I aked a copy for, of course. Well, I'll keep updating my progess. Good luck to everyone too!

What I find interesting is how your towels are exactly the same over the course of these 3 months. Why would you seek to mislead the viewer?

LOL. I don't use those towels. They're just for decoration. Bad decorations I admit but I'm a bachelor with better things to do. I'll be sure to mess them up before taking my next picture.

BTW, The light switches and the floor towel are different!
