Just Had Upper N Lower Abs/flanks/back Done Today!

I was so nervous but they gave me something to relax. They numbed me all over with a lidocaine solution which was the only part that was painful, but tolerable with some deep breathing. The rest of the procedure was completely painless! I am not in any pain, but they said that will come tomorrow. I felt fine when it was over, a little wobbly but only for a few minutes, then I was OK!

I feel a little tired but have to remind myself to slow down! Lots of "leakage" but I went in the shower and tried to squeeze some of it out, as they said the more that's out, the less swelling and bruising later.

Everyone was professional and my doctor and nurse were making me laugh. So far so good!

Day 2:  Lots of soreness around entire torso, skin sensitive to touch, no more leaking as of this morning!  My belly button looks sunken in and the skin over it looks kind of saggy, hope that changes. Kind of tired today.

Day three:  Not nearly as sore, no longer need pain meds. I have been taking Arnica tabs and using the cream to help with bruising and swelling. Bruising not so bad, a few spots where it looks like blood has settled but nothing alarming. I am noticing some uneveness around the right side of my waist but hoping that the Velashape treatments will help even things out.
