Did you gain in the areas you had done? I am Considering lipo and I've read that its difficult to gain back in those areas that you would gain in areas where procedure not done Thanks for sharing

I did gain weight on my stomach, but it was more scar tissue .
January 5, 2014
Please forgive if I ask a stupid question. How does scar tissue make you gain weight? Or was it just a bit of mishape results( I heard that happens just your body can do it). Did you have the same areas redone with the addition of the new ones? Also what area do you consider flanks? I've had two different opinions and you seem like you did your research etc before jumping in

No sweety , the scar tissue didnt make me gain weight, but makes u look bigger cause it looks like fat. Difference is you can burn fat but cant burn the scar tissue (from what i heard) i re did my lower abs. Cause thats where i didnt get the results i wanted. Everything else i did was first time doing it . The flanks i call my love hamdles. And the bra rolls. That area.

How long will you wear garments? You've had great visual results that's why I ask I know the skin will only contract so much so I'm a little uneducated on the permanent results the garment can, if any make other than helping skin retract faster . Why did you redo back area if you were happy with the first time Thanks so much for responses . It's great to talk to the person behind the pics instead of just looking at pics not knowing the history or the extent of what they did

The first time i did my abs upper and lower,y love handles and bra rolls (the under bra rolls). I had good results as u can see in the pic, that was one month post lipo. I wss wearing the garment. 24/7.. At 3 months i got some swelling that to me looked like fluid so my doctor took a trip to ny and managed to see me there , he told me i had some fluids and also fat. I asked him if it was possile to gain fat in the area where he did the lipo his answrr was "the stomach we never take all the fat out, unless u do a tt, and to be honest i blame myself for it , number one cause i told him i didnt wanna look fake not to take so much out amd number 2 i only eat junk food . Of course since i had a lil waist line and the garment all day didnt let me see how much fat i was putting on. As soon as i stopped wearing the CG i started looking like before lipo. Still with a waist line but bigger. So decided to go for round 2. The main reason why i did my back again is because i didnt wamma make the same mistake again, to go have some side done and then feel bigger on other part of my body . The back rolls where not as bad before the full lipo as u can see in my pic im gonna post one now, but i feel like my upper back looked wider than my bottom. So decided to to fat transfer only to the hips to make it wider, and full back lipo to make it look even ;-))...

That makes total sense I think the cg from what I've read is really only to help the skin retract short term and any long term wear is just cause they make you look good :)

The CG helps your shape, and the swellimg, the sking is only gonna shrink as much as your body allows it, depending on your age, skin type. Is the same thing as the scar. People keep saying the scars for tummy tuck are hirrible, but it depends of your skin, i have many friends that did tt and healed perfectly, and some look horrible. My doctor told me the arms he doesnt suction a lot of fat usually 30-40 percent of the fat u have becauae the arms dont shink as much.

Great! Would love to see your pics. Let me ask you how long do you have to wear hour CG for? When i did lipo on my flanks and abs i wore it for 3 months. Just not sure about the arms and legs .
January 5, 2014
Well I've been told 2 months. But I think I need a tighter one already. Especially at the 1month mark. Do u have one you bought on your own that you really like? I'm torn because I want the right one but sizing can be difficult to determine online. I did buy a pair of spanks for the days/moments that I can't wear a full CG. But that's not what I want for most of the time.

What i wore is (fajate) they sell it online but i have a store in ny close by me. In a colombian store u can buy it. They are really good and yes i was wearing 2xs. Which is the smallest. The smaller the better for compression.

yeah, I'll be at week 4 (the half way mark) on Monday so I think it's time to switch into my second garments. I will say that my upper body (arms and back) seemed to heal a whole lot faster than my lower body. My arms are still sore but they don't feel 'wacky' when I don't have my upper CG on the way my legs feel when I don't have my lower CG on. So you may find that you stop wearing your upper garments sooner than your lower. Because of the holidays I had a fe engagement to attend and I had nothing to wear that would cover the bulky CGs and still look nice. So I had to go without them a couple of times. But each time I rushed to put them back on and I always felt better…like they were my security blanket. I think they are much needed because I want to make sure I keep the elasticity of my skin and my body is able to get back toned like it was prior to lipo.
