My experiance of lipo it was very painful more pain than I have ever experianced before. I think this was because I had all my top half of my legs done. I couldnt walk after the opperation until day 2 I lost loads of blood and was told I had to stay in bed.
When I tried to get up I would faint. I think people dont relise how much liposuction hurts, I know I didnt. Before the opperation when I looked in the mirror at my legs I felt sick they was gross.
My bottom half was far bigger than my top and I could do anything about it. 3months after liposuction I have lost an inch on each leg. I can see there is a difference and I dont feel bad now to look at my legs. But I am hoping for a bit more of a difference.

Its been almost five months now and I am happy but not completly. I feel my inner legs are a big bumpy and could be thinner. I am hoping that mr dickinson will re do that area for me. Its extrem pain though and I feel nervous abought going though that gain.

Thank you so much for posting these pictures. I had liposuction on my legs three weeks ago, and I can honestly say that it was more painful than labour, and more painful than the recovery from my c-section. It made me really, really ill.
I like to think I know a thing or two. I'm a health editor of a magazine, and a biochemist, but I don't think I'd have done it, if I'd known how ill it was going to make me feel, and how excruciatingly painful it was going to be.

Hi,
I had tumescent liposuction on my outer thighs, flanks, hips and bra line eight days ago and am doing fine.
I wanted to have my inner thighs done as well but my surgeon will not do outer and inner at the sime time due to the tissue trauma this causes.
I took arnica for a week prior to surgery to help with the bruising and a skin specific antibiotic from the day before surgery until three days after.
The arnica really helped. I am swollen and sore but i can get around and will be returning to work tomorrow.
My advice for anyone considering treatment is find out more about tumescent lipo (i was awake and able to stand up during treatment to check for symmetry), take arnica, and talk to your surgeon about having inner and outer thighs done at the same time and what this means in terms of pain and recovery time.
