1 year and almost 6months later.

Well, things have loosened up. I nolonger feel super tight on oe side. I still have some weird sore muscle feeling on the right and on my lower left in my love handle area if I hit it just right. Im thinking its from the type of lipo he used from what I read.
I paid $300 to get my dog ears removed last month. It was worse than I thought it would be. Im not big on being awake while being cut and getting a jolt of pain because I wasnt numbed enough but I survived.lol
My most discurning thing is that my sex life is ruined. I kept hoping that as my skin loosened my vagina would stop hurting during sex butinstead its tearing and soon I may only have one hole. I asked my surgeon about it and he played dumb saying he never heard of such a thing and he couldnt say if it would get better when my skin loosens up. I dont even know what to do. I cant affordanother surgery. I remember another lady on here having sex issues. I wonder if hers got better?
I hope everyone is well!

6 Months Baby!

I m happy to say at six months I think all of the swelling is completely gone. Which has made both sides have a slight dog ear. Also, have one are of skin left that seems to be attached to the muscle or something. I had other spots but they have resolved. I am assuming its from SmartLipo since I haven't heard anyone else talk about it. I do still have occasional muscle pain on my upper abs as well.
Another thing I haven't really heard people talk about is the fact that when things were pulled up my inner thigh moved forward causing the fat that is usually not noticeable to the front. And man am I having a hard time getting rid of it! I totally dislike my thighs touching!

But all and all I am soo happy with my choice and results and I would do it all over again!! I hope everyone is doing well! :)

4 Months! :)

Well, I had my PS appointment and he says everything looks good but my dog ear wont be going away on its own but if I want to remove it I should loose more weight first, otherwise it may do it again. I also asked about my left side being bigger than my right and it can be fixed with lipo but that's an additional cost.

I forgot to ask about the slight redness of my skin but I did ask if it was true about the controversy of what happens after having Smartlipo or any lipo. Which is, wheather fat will grow back or not and if it will show up in other places. And I guess we are all born with a certain amount of fat cells and when they lipo not all the fat cells are evenly taken. Some may be all gone but in other areas there may be a little bit left. So when we gain weight the fat cells get bigger. In addition, we wont gain more weight in other places. Other than when you gain weight you gain it all over.

I cant believe its been 4 months already! Time sure flew by! I am soo happy with my results and I am looking forward to this summer!

Happy healing ladies! :)
