Good luck to all!

Hey Belly...the PATIENCE is the hardest...its takes way longer to see results than I thought too...Im almost 8wks post op and still swollen along with some lumps I keep massaging...I also mentioned to my doc that I wasnt totally happy so he said...still alot of time to hear since its a traumatic experince to ur body...but if unhappy he will do touch ups...Keep the faith hun....Happy Healing!!!

I do know after lipo u swell up a lot and it can take several months to see results from the swelling people usually use ice packs and bromelain (pinneapple extract) & eat lots of pineapple as well signif reduce ur sodium intake to help to keep swelling down

BellyWho 16 Nov 2012
Thanks for the tips. Yes first 2 pix at 6 days, 2nd 2 at 3 weeks. Hard to see side, but I can tell improvement, just so slow.

Hi, You might want to consider a tummy tuck or combine it w/lipo. I think the tt will flatten you out more. I'm interested in a tt myself...I can't wait!
