Thanks!! I sort of wish I had some fat injected on my butt. Just a little bit to fill out the gap on the sides but I'm so happy!! Scars are minimal, this is what I was most scared about. How is your search for a doctor? xoxo

Well you can always get fat injections later:) It's going I've seen so many doctors!!! I found one that can accomplish what I'm looking for and is in my price range, but he's not my favorite as far as personality. He's kinda weird !! Lol

I ended up choosing mine because my bf liked him the best. It was not totally random though. I had chosen two well known and recommended ones and went with that one As long as you have references I guess it's ok Trust your gut though. It's mostly right

I can really tell on your legs. Your surgeon gave your legs a similar shape to mine - which I love!! You have good muscle tone.

yes!!! Our legs are very similar you are right!!! I always wanted skinny legs but this is how my legs are and I am slowly starting to love them more :) I will be seeing my doctor on wednesday for a one month po check up and hopefully be able to start working out again :)

Your legs are small, just shapely, no stick legs for me either. But I don't want them any more. I'm going to buy lots of skirts and shorts this summer!!

Hi!! 4 days off work is more than enough. I was back at work on PO day 2! :) I did work half days so it was ok, but at day 4 I was completely fine :)

This is good! My lipo will not be extensive too, just taking a little from flanks and belly. Though you are skinnier than me, im not even close to be fat, 5,5ft and 130lb so i guess my recovery wil be good as yours, good luck!

I'm sure it will all be ok! My legs didn't hurt, the flanks hurt the most but nothing unbearable. Did not even need pain meds. Good luck!

I am finally one month PO! I stopped using my spanx last week and did wear to go to sleep. At this point, I am skinnier than before I got the sx. My clothes fit better. They are not as tight LOL.
I am still slightly sore on the flanks. My legs went through a couple days being sore at night when I stopped wearing the spanx.
My skin seems to need some tightening. I am still going for lymphatic massages. Massage therapist says I don't need it anymore but I like the treat.
I don't need new clothes or anything, I just look better in whatever I have. I can't go any smaller anyway. Still, my SKINNY size 24 jeans do NOT fit. I used to be 10lbs lighter when I bought those and I don't think they will fit. Maybe in the winter, when the swelling goes down and I'm finally seeing my 100% results.
I've been bad and eating carbs. Trying not to overdo it though. :)
I notice major swelling when I eat salty food so trying to stay away from that as well.
I'm happy with the results so far. They are not perfect YET but I can see I'm getting there!!
I do wish my legs were skinnier but that's how my legs are. I can't complain! Definitely an improvemet from what I was.
I may want fat injections on my back next!!! :)

I will technically be 3 weeks PO friday. I don't have much to say, other than I look good, tried to take comparison pictures but you cannot see much. Perhaps I should have someone take pictures for me, because when angles change, you cannot appreciate results
Clinically, I'm great. I almost have no soreness or pain. I do have bruising but that's normal
I'm also eating quite healthily, low carbs, lots of fluids, and walking tons. And getting lymphatic massages twice a week.
I don't have much to update, perhaps with new pics at the one month mark?

Thanks babe!! I did start eating a bit of carbs (I'm no paleo, but I do try to eat low carb everyday), and I feel fantastic!! I sort of tried not wearing any spanx for 24hs and it did not make a difference. However, I did sleep with the spanx on last night and took it off in the morning. Again, no difference. :) Thanks for stopping by!
