WORTH IT
My healing process did very well. I have a Seroma 12x7 4inch deep. The seroma will be removed at the end of this year when I have my breast reduction and lift. Dr. De Brux will be my plastic surgeon for my breast surgery as well. We decided to allow my body to absorb the seroma. The seroma is still there so I chosed to have it remove when I have my breast surgery.

Dr. De Brux is a doctor that cares about his patients. You never feel rushed while talking to him. I had several surgeons that recommend him to me as well (I'm a nurse). His office staff and nurse Paula are awesome. I will give rating after my surgery.

Hello Faith35, I just had a panniculectomy with Lipo on Feb. 27 this year. I have swelling the most on my left side and its like a muffin top. But the left side is a little smoother less muffin. My incision underneath my navel looks weird. I can see my skin inside the incision, if that makes sense. The middle of my stomach is a little pooch. I wanted to know how did your swelling turn out?

I had minimum swell. The Seroma felt like a water pocket but got hard as time went by. You need to have your surgeon reassess you.

Well you guys I am hitting the six week mark. I currently have one drain that wasn't removed last week. It is draining between 30 to 50 ml if fluid everyday. My next follow up appointment is Thursday. I will see the PS then. Hopefully he will have mercy and pull this dang drain..lol...My expected date to return to work is Saturday. I am feeling good and very please with my results. I have started wearing tight compression to help with the swell. I currently wear Spanx mid thigh body suit and Squeem Vest. I loveeeee the vest. I currently wear a 3x vest but can fasten the 2 eyelet on vest. My Spanx shaper is a 2x. I was wearing 4x before surgery. My incision is healing well alone with the seroma abscess. You can hardly see the abscess that was draining. I am posting pictures of my Spanx shaper and the Squeem vest. If anyone experiencing swell the vest is a must. I will post more pic once drain pulled. I hope everyone is healing well and enjoying their Sunday afternoon.
