“Smart Lipo- Medial Knees and Thighs - New Orleans, LA”

I had smart lipo on my inner thighs and knees about a week ago. Im 20 years old, 5'7" and about 145 lbs and a very true hour glass figure. I've always hated my knees and had a fat pocket that was about 1.5" on my inner knees.

I am a pretty queasy person so i did general anesthesia and have no regrets. instantly i could tell that my knees and thighs were smaller. i wasnt in any pain when i woke up and felt a little sore when i got in the car and on the way home. i was mostly nauseated from the anesthesia which lasted about 24 hours. because of the nausea i wasnt able to start walking around until the second day which made a huge difference in my recovery. the nurse gave me some pads to bring home for the discharge which lasted for a couple of hours after the surgery. from the start, i am not in pain as long as i dont move. when i do move i am in the most pain which i am standing up or getting out of bed. i had some pain the first three days from the stitches in the back of my knees.

I am currently 6 days out from the procedure and i am still pretty swollen and sore but the difference is clear. I got my stitches out yesterday and it made a huge difference in my comfort level. although still swollen my knees no longer have a fat pocket and my thighs dont touch and are significantly smaller than before. I was warned that the knee was uncomfortable in recovery and compared to the thighs it is from my experience. I have just started to lightly bruise today, although it is really minor. I am really happy with the results and excited for the swelling to decrease.
