Getting Ready for Liposuction of Love Handles & Saddlebags... Nervous! - Louisville, KY

Well, today is post op 8 & I have ballooned up! My swelling is much worse. I'm very uncomfortable. Has anyone else had swelling increase around 1 wk post op?

Went for my 6 day post op today. All is good. He said he was conservative on my saddlebags, but if I'm not happy later he can take a little more out in the office. Better than taking out too much. I'll see what it looks like when swelling goes down. Overall, I'm happy. I'm still pretty sore, but definitely tolerable. I go to the beach sat- that ought to be interesting. He said I can take my garment off in day, and at that point it won't affect my healing or outcome- just may swell a little more.

Ok, I went for my 3 day post-op today & am feeling much better. I told nurse that I've been so depressed because everyone else seems to be back to 'normal' by about day 4 & I'm hardly there. She assured me that with the type I had done that I am the norm. Plus I saw the results & my dr & I agreed it looks great even with swelling. So I think it'll be great as long as I keep up a good diet/exercise routine. Pain is still there but much better today. Maybe I'm turning a corner. I still wish I could post pics. Does anyone else have this problem off your iPhone where it only says post YouTube video? Any advice would be great.
