Three weeks & 5 days Post Op. Finally feel like I've turned the corner this past week. Standing approx 95% upright and of course stiff in the evenings right now. Unfortunately, inner thighs are and will be swollen and hard for some time due to the ultrasonic lipo trauma. Standard lipo hardening everywhere else. Continue lymphatic massage treatments and manual massage. Updated progress photos, developed HBP (High Blood Pressure) this past week 140/100 (no history of HBP) docs putting me on beta blockers perhaps its due to the trauma of the surgery or still having to take pain meds?

My PS stated that he didnt do the muscle repair because when he pulled the muscles together I would buldge on my sides and didn't want me to be "boxy" and have no waist at all. Anyone heard of this before?

Just before i went into surgery when my PS was marking me up he did one last check on my abdomen and said it wasn't necessary to do any muscle repair as my muscles were strong underneath the extra skin. He said it wouldn't benefit me at all! So far i'm liking the results but still think i'm pretty swollen at times as well. Your pictures look Great!
You look great girl!!
Great results! Who was your surgeon? I'm also from Pittsburgh, and am scheduled for March 15th. Curious to see who your dr. was though b/c I saw 4 before I chose one!
My Doc is Dr. Hurwitz, His Website is: http://www.hurwitzcenter.com/html/results-gallery.html
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
Wow you look awsome. I can only imagine how happy you are. Congratulations to you...
Your updated pixx look great!! I'm finding my belly button is too much of an outie and big. Has yours changed at all?
Mine is still by far too big, round and an outtie also. My belly area around my BB is rock hard and numb from the lipo but as I massage and the hardening slowly settles so does my BB. (Its now soft) At least compared to how it was protruding in the beginning. My PS stated I had to wait until 6 months to discuss revisions to let things settle. I am ok with that but wanted to make my concen known in the beginning.
It is very foreign to me having this thing on my belly, maybe its because my BB has always been hidden prior? I still wont touch it. LOL
Your pics look great!
