Lower Body Lift, Breast Lift Without Implants, and Side of Chest Lift -Houston, TX

I wore a compression vest with sleeves below the elbow for about 8 weeks and had no healing issues and very little swelling. The one from Design Veronique was the most comfortable. I can't imagine doing both arms and thighs at the same time though, my arms were fully healed before my thigh lift, but maybe you are only having a groin incision?

Once the bandages came off, I switched to Marena compression sleeves. They were super soft and thin, easy to get on, and invisible under clothing. While the recovery was slightly more uncomfortable than I had anticipated, I had an uneventful recovery with absolutely no healing issues or scarring issues ( brachioplasty scars are notorious for stretching and becoming wider). I attribute this in part to the compression sleeves, as they provide great support to the incision. Best of luck, I am sure you will breeze through this and have awesome results!

I had the Mirena compression sleeves too...but i ended up liking the Solidea ones the best. Post updated pics when you can :-P

Can you tell me what they ave you to control the nausea after surgery? I was so nauseous from the pain meds after my last surgery that I refused the meds and instead endured the pain. I cried for two nights! So this time around, I would like to be able to take something that does not cause me to become nauseated. With regard to your question about compression sleeves, I did not use them. I had a very hard time with my right arm healing (see my review) and I still have issues 7-mos post op. My surgeon says he does not think the compression sleeve would have made a difference but if I had it to do over, I would err on the side of caution and use them. Good luck with your next surgery. Is this your last?

Hello there, I am a male 23 years old, young and healthy, lost over 90 Pounds in 2 years then stayed with my flappy extra hanging skin from my breast (man boobs) & tummy for another 2 years. I just had my operation for a lower body lift and a great lipo + lift (to have them all flat) I am in day 4 in recovery but unfortunately i cannot see the results of the operation yet, because I am wearing a corset (whatever that is called, it's what you wear to tighten your skin) I am supposed to wear it for 2 months. ​Anyway, the only way to see the results is to take it off, and I cannot until I meet him next week. Now as I said i am day 4 of recovery, so my question is that I am kind of worried about the results, I am looking at my chest and it's flat from outside the corset of course. However, my tummy area still seems to have like a layer of fat in a circular round, and the thing is i never even had a layer like that. so My question is, did the operation not succeed too much from down there (specially that the doctor confirmed that I didn't have any fat down there) or is that my tummy swollen? and if it's swollen or something else, how do I know? ​ ​Please answer me, thank you!

Heeeeeey.....your beating me or R2! I seriously wanted to schedule June 9th but my PS is on vacay (sheesh, these guys think they get time off or something...) Then hubby wants to go away for July 4th....darn!
