Hi guys sorry I've been so absent, I had a unexpected trip to Sydney and also had my daughters 5th birthday so I've been a busy girl. The flight to Sydney was a tad uncomfortable my ankles felt close to wanting to explode but once I got off the plane a walked around they came right but still stayed swollen for the rest of the night. I walked all day for 5 days around Sydney and although my legs felt tender they felt pretty good. The flight home was fine they didn't swell- ??? going back to work was way worst I went back to a very busy schedule obviously being off work for nearly 2 and half weeks I had a lot of my client desperate for a cut. Standing on a polished concrete floor and not really walking around a whole lot made my ankles swell, but it's only temporary and each morning they looked a bit better I think my legs are just adjusting to their new position which they may as well get used to because I'll be working from now on.
They still feel a little stiff and numb around the ankle area and I am still very uncomfortable if I squat on them or if I try to get up from a sitting position on the floor which makes me feel very inflexible and about 100 years old- hehe.

I choose Dr Barrett because he immediately made me feel very comfortable when I had my 1st meeting with him and conducted himself in a very professional manner. He took the time to really study my legs and talk to me before starting the actual procedure and kept chatting to me during the time in theatre. He was great from start to finish and also the following day when I had my follow up appointment. I highly recommend him.

Your legs look gorgeous!! I think they looked very nice and healthy before, but I can understand why you wanted this procedure because I want it too! Your calves look GREAT now! I need to read about the difference between liposculpture (is that the same as smart lipo?) and regular lipo. I have my first consult in two days for a breast lift and leg lipo and I am trying not to confuse myself too much beforehand. :) Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

Hi Rockaboo I found this site so helpful too! I'm not sure what the difference is between tumescent and smart lipo but the 2 surgeons I saw both recommended tumescent lipo . Do your legs look like mine beforehand? Mine still swell at the end of a full on day but they still look better than before. The lipo is not that comfortable but it's totally worth every penny!

Hi there, did you ever find anyone in Sydney? I would love to get this procedure done but it seems to be not so popular in Australia?

Thanks they're still pretty sore when I walk but I'm walking normally. I find I'm swelling even worse at around 3pm I'm hopeless at resting them with 2 small kids to run around after! My husband keeps telling me off for over doing it.

bruising (finally)

I finally have a bit of bruising to show for all the discomfort! I couldn't believe I didn't have any bruising until now as the procedure was fairly invasive!
