Hi all. It's amazing how fast time flies. Things are going very well. For the most part I am back to normal. My breasts are holding up well. They look very natural. I still have a few lumps. I have a small one that is a little tender. I plan to ask my doctor about that one. My legs still have some slight numbness down the outside but it is not that noticeable. The inside of my thighs are still sensitive but again not that noticeable. My massage therapist has been continuing to flush those areas. The lipo scars are still visible but fading. They do get a bit red in the sun.
My activity level is back to 100%. I can run, lift weights and anything else I want without any issues. I am very happy with my results. I will try to get some updated photos uploaded soon.

Before and After comparison

I thought putting the before and after photos side by side would give everyone a really good idea of how things changed.

You look great! My breasts are much smaller than your pre-op breasts, but I will be more than thrilled if I get a similar increase in size. You had complained about loose skin at the back of you legs after lipo. Has that changed at all recently? I am very concerned about how and if lipo will make the skin looser (my skin doesn't have good elasticity) and worsen the appearance of cellulite...

Ohboy, can you please update us? You've passed the 6-month milestone. Do you have any lumpiness in your lipo sites or breasts? I've read some complaints about that from those who are a few months past surgery. Are your breasts still the same size?

Sorry I have not updated in quite awhile. It has been a hectic time. All is well and I believe I have settled into my permanent size and look. I have been back to running for about a month. The return was not as hard as I expected. My thighs still have numb and tender spots but as long as I wear compression workout pants they don't bother me. The doctor says that will go away eventually.
The scars under my breasts are fading well. The ones on my legs are still noticeable but they don't bother me. I hope they will continue to fade. There are still some lumps in my breasts but they seem to be less noticeable.

You look awesome!! Congrats, you must be thrilled!!

Thank you so much, It helps a lot to read your review. I know you said you are happy with the lipo scars but I'm curious, do they look as good in person as they do in the pics? I can see them but they look really nice and if it looks they same in person I would never think it was from lipo, I would it was a fickle or light blemish. I hope mine eventually look like that. I'm worried because I am ethnic ant have slightly darker skin naturally and mine are dark still, hoping that's normal at 2 months out and not extra dark because of diff skin. You look so good!

My scars are fading very well. The picture does give a good representation of how they actually look. The one on my right thigh is more prominent but it is not an obvious lipo scar. I'm very active and am outside a lot so I have lots of little scars and marks. They all blend together. Having said that I do have relatively light skin and I'm sure that plays a part in how long it takes for scars to fade. I have been using the scar treatment gel every day.

Thank you! That is a relief!

ohboyherewego, you don't need any of us to tell how beautiful your breasts look. And the best thing of all is that they are 100% natural. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to post your progress in detail and for posting the new pictures. I am going to be having this procedure soon and I have been fretting a little bit in case it goes wrong. I am having implants removed and fat transfer at the same time. I want so much to be all natural and not to worry about the implants rupturing or getting capsular contracture or some other complication. Your story and results have really helped me in my decision. :)

I am so glad my experience has helped you. Good luck with your procedure and let me know how it goes.
