1 week post op
I stopped taking pain killers today. Swelling is still persistent and the bruises started darkening last night. Generally feel fine and still working. I am having my 1st post op appointment tomorrow to remove the stitches and will confirm my flanks & tummy vaser lipo for 7th Oct!

Hi Mojo,
It's my 2nd week now swelling has gone down & my arms are really slim but this is already my 3rd lipo so doctor did comment that there will be a significant result as compared to my first 2 liposuction. If this is your 1st lipo, you will need to ask yr doctor to show you his patient's results & ask him how confident he is with your fat reduction after lipo. My arms are rock hard & slightly lumpy now but it will go away in a few months time.

Hi Queen,
Thanks for your response. How was it pain wise and swelling in the 1st week post op? Were you given a compression garment for your arms etc. How is your skin retraction afterwards, is there any hanging skin at your arms? Can you perhaps post some before pics for comparison, pretty please.

Hi Mojo,
The first 2 days post op was the most painful period for me. Felt nausea & light headed from the pain & had to rest in bed. The 3rd day post op, I went back to work. I had heavy leaking on the 1st night of op, very light leaking on 2nd & 3rd day post op. I wore the Compression sleeves 24/7 as I saw my sagging arms 1st day post op so I kept the compression sleeve on all the time, taking it off only during bath time. Expect serious swelling on 1 week which slowly subsides following end of 2nd week (which is me now) bruising is still prominent on my right arm but both arms are really slim now & compression sleeve feels loose already. Please note that this is my 3rd arm lipo so I might not haf as much fat cells as compare to a 1st timer lipo patient. I think the compression sleeve is the best thing in the world post op, my healing is much better this time round, I never had compression sleeves for my 1st 2 lipo & skin sagged & was very lumpy. Current status of my arms are great, skin is firmly attached to the muscle with very little lumps.

Hi PQueen, sounds like you have good results already.
I am so scared of my skin hanging after the lipo. I have not worn any sleeveless tops in 16years due to my big upper arms. But now I cant wait to have my procedure done on the 8th of December. I had vaser lipo of my thighs and bum done by the same doctor with absolutely great results and have great trust in him to do a great job again. I will post my before pics before my procedure.
Can you perhaps post some before pics for comparison. You look absolutely fantastic with bruising and swelling already and your back looks great, no bruising at all.

6th day post op I have bruises but very light...
6th day post op
I have bruises but very light ones. Swelling still persistent and feeling arms feel itchy. The compression sleeves are irritating but without them, my arms sag. I am wearing my compression garments religiously, only removing them for my nightly & early morning showers. I have been applying arnica gel from my doctor and do not see much difference. Just apply for the sake of doing it. I will be seeing my doctor this Fri to remove the stitches. The incisions on my elbows are already healed, I cant even find my left elbow's incision now.
It took me 4 months to see the results of my first arm lipo and I am pretty sure I will be seeing results at abt 3 mths for this vaser lipo. My back looks great! I was checking out my back on the full mirror today with my bra on and I dun haf the tiny bra fats brimming out anymore!

Welcome to RealSelf and thanks for posting your story. Just saw your latest update; it's good to hear you're back at work already! The compression garment is possibly the worst part of the recovery process, so hang in there! I'm looking forward to hearing more about your results.
Congrats with your surgery and lots of healing vibes from me.
I am about to have my upper arms, flanks and bra-rolls done and would like to know how your recovery was/is? Can you already see a difference in shape?
