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.

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.

I had lipo on my outer thighs. I hardly had any pain. i had tumescent lipo with Dr Szalay. I am very happy but I am not completly happy because i didn't get rid of the cellulite and the tiny bump of a saddle bag. The dr did warn me of this though. I am considering getting my bum, hips and inner thighs done now. Another surgeon told me about getting lower part of my bum done and said that this will help dramatically. I think they call that area the bananna peel.
