I am in the process of getting a breast reduction...

I am in the process of getting a breast reduction and liposuction. I used to be in the gym on a regular basis. I was in a car accident 4 years ago - rear ended by an inattentive teen age driver. Since then my back got worse and the time I spent running began to diminish. I have been on pain meds for over 3 years and received spinal injections several times. I finally decided that something had to give. I went to my insurance company and they approved the reduction. I decided to treat myself quite honestly to the lipo. I will be doing my whole abdomen - front and sides, and flanks. I have put on 30 lbs since i couldn't work out like I used to. SO I am hoping this gives me my quality of life back and eliminates my need for any more work done on my back. I am SUPER nervous that I am going to be deformed. I have been hearing some horror stories. I want to be symmetrical and actually have a waist. Even when I was 60lbs lighter I have NEVER had a waist.
I was worried that paying $2700 extra for the lipo was excessive but looking at the cost involved I think im getting a good deal. My surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon and I strongly believe Im in good hands. I am looking forward to advice on tips for healing and getting back to the gym as soon as possible :) Thanks for any tips and comforting stories. So happy I found this place.

Nervous about my stretch marks
momof6mnOctober 21, 2013
After reading the reviews I'm nervous that the couple stretch marks on my lower abs will look bad after I deflate the balloon. I wonder if I can ask my PS if it looks bad to just do the tummy tuck. Ugh!

I have the same concern about the lower ab stretch marks..while the marks won't go away, I have read good things about how the techniques they use with vaser does tighten the skin. Last summer I was about 10-12 lbs lighter from stress n the stretch marks didn't look too bad with the flatter stomach...so hopefully there's hope for us! :)

Would love to know what compression garment you found the most comfortable

I just finished my misc shopping now I need to sift through the HUGE variety of compression garments. I would love one that could be used for both my reduction and lipo of my abdomen... any feedback would be really appreciated :) Hope all my November girls are getting excited!

isnt your Dr. giving you one? They should be. I know my Dr. is pretty specific about the one Im wearing and was told not to switch to spanx until at least 4 weeks but a stage 2 garment would be better at that time. He did not give me a stage 2 though, just the stage one they sent me home in.
Anyway, Im glad your having fun preparing! Not much longer! :)

They are but just one with no recommendation for another one. I don't want to just have one. Gross

Ok gotcha, personally I would just buy another one from him then so you have two the same. Mine washes n dries super fast so it hasn't been an issue yet..but I hear you, we have to wear them 24/7 and that does sound gross :)
