WORTH IT$3,500
I always wanted to have a flat belly, after months of dieting, working out including p90 x and Zumba, there was no way to get rid of my lower ab fat and love handles so I decided to move forward with surgery. I am 128lbs age 24.
Day 1 of Surgery:
I was very nervous but knew I was in great hands! The only thing that hurt was the IV needle but then I went to sleep, not so bad.
When I woke up I feel like I had been beaten up it was very painful :( nurse gave a pill and then I went home lie down and slept.
Day 2 Still in pain
Day 3-5 Felt much much better, at day 4 I was able to get out of bed without any help. Iam seeing some changes in my belly but no so much yet since its still swollen but definitely flatter :) My stomach feels very tight and numb, tomorrow they will be removing the drain (ouch) I hope it does not hurt I am a little cry baby

2 Weeks post op:
I have horrible lumps, My ps says they will go away but I am honestly hoping they do because I am freaking out! My stomach looks horrible, it looked great the first week but second week its looking worse and worse each time, does anyone have the same experience ;( I am so sad!

That is what happened to me - I had the bumps you did after 2 weeks. My Dr was in Europe because I just recently moved to USA. After a year (of hoping it would even out) I went back to the original Dr in Europe (he was board certified and a plastic surgeon). He did lipo again (his recommendation) to try and even out the bumps and now it's even worse. I posted some pictures on here asking other doctors and they say that it is muscle separation and that it wasn't a good job. Problem is I look worse than I did in the beginning! I look fatter and am petite and only 120lbs! Don't know who an help even it out now.

Hi Liposad,
I am sorry to hear about your lipo results, right now I am just patiently waiting hoping these horrible lumps will go away. I am 2 weeks post op, so I will have to wait and see, but I don't see any other people out here that had similar lumps like me, so I am scared this may be a complication. My ps assured me that they will go away, so I will just have to wait and see :(. I am very disappointed right now because I thought I was going to be able to enjoy the part of this summer but with this horrible stomach I cant even look at myself.

I COMPLETELY understand how you feel. The best advice I can give you is to remain hopeful and ensure you continue to wear the garment. It should even out over time. But do not let your Dr off the hook either. I didn't want to be a problem - and I saw a bunch of wonderful testimonials online for my Doctor and now I have Dr's online looking at my pics and telling me I have muscle separation!!! I don't even know why he didn't see that or say anything!
Instead of correcting my waviness he just put me under local (because he didn't want me to have to pay for general and an anesthesiologist (which makes me laugh because it was his bad care and attention that got me here in the first place) and just lipo'd me more! I think I just passed out from the pain in the end. When I came too I noticed I still have peaks and valleys across my abdomen and the top part has separated. I am only 116- 124 Lbs! I am not fat but now I look like it. I miss my little smooth round belly now :(
But anyway - you are still so new to the surgery I am hopeful that if you keep your garment on (make sure it is snug) for the next 8 weeks you will even out.
Best wishes - please keep me posted.
