After Smart Lipo

UPDATED FROM merryberry3

My bruises are almost gone but the rear is still...

WORTH IT$4,500

My bruises are almost gone but the rear is still pretty obvious.  I am down to my pre-op weight of 118 pounds.  The spots are still sore, numb, hard and swollen.  I am pretty optimistic about the final result.   I did sit up this morning and I had cramps on my abs.  I am still wearing my garment but I don't think it helps much.  But it helps to curb my appetite.

LOL

I upload some recent pictures. They should be posted very soon. I guess it takes longer for a 45 year old to heal. I always support plastic surgery. In my opinion, my skin is like my clothes. If the clothes is loose, I need to alter it. I was planning to have a half face lift when I turn 50. Now I am thinking twice about it. I wish I can aged gracefully.
wow... alot of bruising, i think i changed my mind, i am also a big fan of plastic surgery to improve .. thank you sooo much for posting your pics... GOOD LUCK to you.. xo
hi, was this a smartlipo procedure? or the ordinary liposuction??? i thought u weren't supposeed to get any bruising!!! these pics look like it hurts!!!ouch im thinking of getting smartlipo done n stumbled on to your review n now i thinki might just change my mind!!! and also how did u feel right after???(pain)r u satisfied with the results?
This was smartlipo. I am totally recover now but there are still 2 lumps on my back. I can see little results. I guess different people has different reaction. he also used the fat to inject my face instead of synthetic fillers. However, they didn't stay long on my face. For the $6,000 that I spent on both procedures, I think it's not worth it.
Hello there, Could you let me know the name of your doctor because i live in toronto and im finding difficult to find a surgeon i can trust.

I am 5'3", 118 pounds, 45 years old. I exercise 6 days a week, spinning, weight training, aerobics classes. I had my procedure on Apr 24 at lower abdominal, love handles, lower back and inner thighs. 8 incisions points together. I gained 10 pounds after my procedure and was very sore and experience excessive bruising as you can see on my pics. My doctor said I must ate or drank something that incurred that. I had been drinking herbal tea everyday and didn't stop until the day of the operation.

wow...that's some definate bruising you got going on. are you taking arnica tablets and using the arnica gel? that stuff worked wonders for me. it takes about a month for all bruising to be gone...maybe a lil' longer in your case. good luck w/ your healing. are you happy w/ your results?
I am convinced that it has to do with some herbal tea that I have been drinking. I am getting better everyday but I am still "black". So far I don't see any results and I am still bigger than I was. This arnica tablets is available in drugstore without a prescription? Thanks for letting me know.
I got my arnica tablets at a health food store - very inexpensive. They really helped. The gel was available at the drugstore, but it was much more expensive than the tablets, so I didn't try it.
Thanks Stuartgal.
you might also try emu oil and rub that on it with the arnica. That's crazy! What kind of herbal tea was it? We have pretty much the same stats and I'm planning on doing the same areas. I also drink herbal teas, so I would love to know what kind... It's still pretty early...
Well, I got my arnica pills today. Let's see if they are going to help. My control garment is getting more comfortable.
any updates? How's the healing?
