I had the revision to hips, outer thighs and smoothing out c-section area yesterday morning. Everything went well and I'm not in any pain. I haven't leaked much like last time but I have gone to the bathroom ALOT!!! I took the garment off quickly to wash and shower and took these pics. I see some improvement but lots of unevenness with swelling and bruising. Oh and wrinkling from the pads lol. But my stomach near c-section scar seems much smoother :)

Was the revision as extensive as the initial procedure? Or was it just small areas that will likely heal faster?

Definitely not as extensive because they are localized areas and the canula used was smaller for contouring. PS said I could even go straight into a Spanx but I like the compression the CG gives me

Were you under General? If not, how was the pain?

Oh my gosh, I hear ya! I'm the biggest pain-wimp ever! Glad you were knocked out for it! I've read that tumescent lipo can be performed under local anesthesia and I almost hyperventilated just thinking about what that would be like!

I'm with you! I'm grateful my Dr. insists on general! I'll be comfortable and she can focus on her job instead of how I'm feeling! Besides, isn't it great falling asleep and waking up what seems like a minute later?! Done!

I had my vaser Lipo revision done last Friday, March 27th. I was awake during the procedure and only had local since it was just small areas that needed revised. It wasn't bad at all as for pain and we had awesome conversations the whole time. Today is day 2 post and I'm swollen in the areas so I can't see any change yet which worries me but I need to be patient and wait for the swelling to go down. No bruising at all and no pain meds except Tylenol the evening of procedure. Hopefully the revision worked so I can move onto something else :)

You're about 10 days post revision now? How are you feeling? Liking the tweaks thus far?

I'm feeling great...need to post an update. I'm a little worried because my CG seems too comfy. I remember the first time counting down the hours until I took it off for a shower. I wore a Spanx instead today and it was much tighter so I'm asking Monday if I should just use it instead. I see noticeable reduction in the hip area, but didn't see it in measurements :/. Weird! My scale shows I'm down 4lbs but I've been eating well. Need to find out when I can get back to exercising. Thanks for asking about me :)

It's all about shaping! So, no worries that the measurements are the same. :) if the Spanx is tighter, it's probably good. These binders can be pulled sooo tight! Giving me heartburn. Ugh. Let us know what your Dr. says.

good luck! I just read through your journal and found it inspirational. I'm going in for my lipo in 3 hours.

Best of luck to you! Keep me posted. I'm awake. This experience is different. Virtually no pain just soreness like after a workout but I'm getting up to go to the bathroom every 2hrs! Guess this is my body's way of getting rid of all the liquids pumped into me. Last time I drained alot instead. Good luck!

Revision is Tomorrow!!

I'm ready for this lipo revision. Doing the Hips/flanks "fat pockets" I call them, small areas of outer thighs to contour & make smooth and the small area above c-section to see if it will help with smoothing. I do need a tummy tuck but really don't want one so I'm trying this instead. first lipo was almost one year ago and ever since I've been dieting & working out 6 days a week to get these areas gone and it didn't work. So back to the Dr I went. Thinking good thoughts and saying prayers for successful results.
Today's measurements:
Weight 137lbs
Hips 38 1/4inches
Left thigh 22 1/2inches
Right thigh 22 3/4inches
