“My Huge Muffin Top and Back Boobs Are Gone!”

I did my research for this procedure in this area, and after a consultation, i decided to get smart lipo. Although this place had cost alot more than the others, I would rather spend the extra money and be confident in the work that would be done to my body. They had a very and attentive staff and Dr L was very thorough.

The procedure when great. I hardly remember anything other than a little sting here and there and them asking me to turn over a couple times. I am no real pain, just more uncomfortable right now (and it hasn't even been 24 hours yet) I have 2 daughter under 2 years of age and was ready to get my body back, and smart lipo and a great Doctor were able to do that for me.

Day 2-4: I am still a little sore, and swollen. I knew to expect that so I am not too taken back by it. I have my follow up tomorrow so we will see what the doctor says. I haven't had any leakage from the incisions since day 2, and they are healing quite nicely. I hate this compression garment, but can't wait to put it back on when its off while I shower. I am happy I did the procedure, but will be more happy when I get to see my final results, so now its all up to being patient.

Follow Up Appointment: Saw the Doctor today. I was feeling better today than the previous days... still very sore to the touch. Still swelling a little more every day. He said this is normal and should peak at about 12-14 days out and then slowly get better from there. Its still been hard to sleep at night, seems I cant get too comfortable with this compression garment. I also feel this "ripping" sensation if I move or jerk too fast. The Doctor also told me I will feel all sorts of weird sensations, anything from itching to tingling and numbness, which I have. Even at one point it felt like ice cold water was being poured into my skin lol. Woke up sore today, hope it fades off. I havent been taking any pain meds for 2 days, but might give in today.

Day 5: Well I am still sore, but found it a little bit easier to get out of bed and was able to sleep on my sides. Dont get me wrong tho, its still hard to get out of bed, just not as hard. Trying not to get discouraged by the swelling. The more I read, the more I understand this will be quite a recovery process and the swelling will be around for a while.
I look at my pictures from the first day and try to keep that in mind as far as a final result, because as of now, I am bigger than before (w the exception of my love handles)... I should change my Title to "My INITIAL Results Were Amazing"...lol
Ok, enough with my pity party. I will take 1 weeks pics and post them then.

1 Week: I am feeling better and better everyday! Other than a little tenderness and soreness to the touch, I doing really well and getting around with no trouble. I am able to keep up after my toddler and 6 month old. Still not able to work out or anything like that. I am able to sleep on my side now which is nice. I posted pics so you can see how the swelling has affected me after 1 week. Not sure if it will get better or worse from here so we will see.

2 Weeks: Feeling soooo much better! I am still a little tender to the touch but able to get around almost as well as before. I am noticing the swelling to subside more and more. I am just excited to start working out to get toned up.

6 Weeks!!! I finally made it to this point and am thrilled thus far. Although my treated areas are still a little tender when poked, I am feeling really good. I will start working out again and am really looking forward to that. I am definitely happy with choosing to do this procedure and all and all it was a pretty good experience considering it was surgery. I am more than happy to answer any questions anybody has....

I forgot to mention:
I have lost a total of 9 inches and 7 lbs in this last 6 weeks from having the surgery.
