Liposuction: Stories

Days 2-5 were the worst for me but the pain goes away very quickly. You look great btw, I took Tylenol 3's they were prescribed but you can get Tylenol 1's over the counter if ibuprofen doesn't work. My only advice with any pain meds is take stool softener/laxitive I didn't poop for almost 9 days that was the worst. Happy healing as well:)

Hi there, first good luck with everything :) Right when I woke up from my general anesthetic I felt a bit of burning from the incision sites, but it was well managed with medication. I left the clinic about 1-2 hours after my surgery, they put my compression garment on and I stood up and went to the bathroom, and was on my way home (someone had to pick me up). I was prescribed Tylenol 3's and they did wonders, only depended on them the first 12 hours then it was ok. The worst pain is going from sitting to standing or moving position, I found it difficult to sit straight up the first couple of days too, but nothing too bad. I think the worst pain for me was the constipation from the pain medication so I took stool softeners and laxative, I feel much better. My bruising was bad the first couple of days but is going down very quickly, I had a lot of my lower abdomen and my hips, they are fading a lot though. Don't be too nervous it seems so much worse then it is, once its over you'll ask yourself why you were so nervous, because I was very nervous as well.

Where can I get one?

My preference is the Marena garment...its stage 2...one piece and u can wear ur own bra...so comfy...its called...2nd Stage Suit with Suspenders and No Leg Coverage $81.50...style # FBA2 at Merenagroup.com...I know their expensive but considering what we already spent...its a drop in the hat....I truly LOVE mine!!

I just found a coupon code as well 4104...and free shipping...brings it to like $73

I cannot remember what he said specifically, but I see him 3 Jan 13, so I would assume until then, it isn't too uncomfortable, however, from wearing it it's creating bumps, like if you were to wear a corset, and I am hoping that doesn't effect my body contour. I am so swollen today everywhere, I was so disappointed to see, but it will all go down, it just takes time and patience. Also thank you, I cannot wait for the final result by next summer, hopefully will be bathing suit ready :)

I had lipo on the 5th and I totally agree with you about the compression garment it sucks. It was great with my TT not so much for lipo. I have started using a stage 2 garment during the day. I wear the other at night when I have time and privacy to adjust it a 100 times. Thanks for the updates and happy healing!

Ultrasonic is used for areas that have more fat, such as flanks, it liquifies the fat sending sound waves, and then the fat gets removed. Its good for getting a lot more fat at one time. Its a bit more expensive. It is also called VASER lipo.

I am having general. Good luck with yours :)

Thank you for your post, I am getting very anxious, luckily I begin my christmas holidays from work on the 15 of Dec and am off until the 9 of Jan so hope to get lots of rest and recovery time. I will update everyone with my results :)

Just wondering how long you are down for, and was the pain really bad, I get it on the 10th then have a dentist appointment on the 13th will I be ok for that? Thank you for your blog its really helped me, I am so nervous!
