Had My Smart Lipo 3/14/11 - West Nyack, NY

i actually went with dr. elliott heller.iam also healing right now. not as easy as they say very sore and the incisions bleeding the first day was tough and messy but we shall see the results.

hoping your healing well.

My doctor did use sutures and I didn't experience all the massive drainage that many of the ladies talk about, even though I had trumescent liposuction. Yes, you are very sore! I also took a week off.

Any how, it gets better quickly! You should be noticing some of the discomfort easing up at this point. At the 1 week mark it was much better and 2 weeks was a huge milestone for me.

I am at 2 1/2 weeks and good at work but sore at the end of the day still.

Hope you will post before and after pics. Hang in there and feel better!

You lose senation in the areas they lipo because the nerves are bruised. It will start to come back slowly, most of mine is back now. My itching went away in a couple weeks, it's a good sign that those nerves are healing.

I am in my 4th week of healing and able to do most anything including going to the gym. Very minor soreness now but sore to the touch when I massage my tummy seveal times a day. That's what you get when the numbness goes away but it getting better now. My binder really helps protect it.

You will notice every day is better when you wake up! Good luck!

Went for my post op today. My doctor could not beleive how well i was healing. he noticed significant changes in my treatment areas. he was surprised only week 2 of recovery and the results are astounding. He said he is looking forward to the 2 month out once the actual results are"supposed to really be visible" he said i still have a lot of healing to do and still swollen so if i look like i do post 2 weeks then the final results will be great. my next appt is 4/27 where he will take some pics to compare to my first.

He collected 2800 CCs of fat. equivalent to 2 2liter bottles of soda and a half gallon of milk.

He said for me to keep antibiodic ointment on incision sites and one of the reasons of the good contour is because i have not taken off the garment since the procedure (only to bathe).

I feel so happy and am looking forward to continue healing.

Still very sore and itchy but well worth it.

hope everyone is recovering well and your early results are fabulous with more fabulous results approaching :)

Well, depending on the day I feel okay but working is a big task for me...i walk very slowly, sneezing, laughing, coughing is still pretty tough but I see the results. my doc took out almost 3200ccs of fat! the itching has improved too...my doc recommended Aveno for itching around the incision sites...it is like a lotion and pretty cheap. I am also taking Arnica tbs, arnica gel and bromelain and they are helping wooonders. My garment seems a lit bit bigger than it should so i dont feel as much pressure...im thinking of buying a smaller one but not sure yet...lemme see what else...my skin is tight again already, thank god! that loose skin in the first day looked terrible.
My recovery is being a lit tougher because of the brazilian butt lift i did together with the lipo..cant sit, cant lay on my back...driving is a huge task now.

congrats on your results!!

oh no sorry I meant @ Donna Pomona

not sure if she saw my doctor or some other doc out there
