so 2 wks out now. i am a lil discouraged. Not seeing much of a difference. I still have swelling a lot under my belly button area & flank area. The area is turning lumpy & hard so they told me to massage the area so i do that & apply arnica gel....

4 days later- i am finally able to bend over a bit to shave my legs!! still wearing 2 garments but they seem so tight- still swollen a lot & bruises are yellow & no bleeding which is all still normal. still taking arnica montana for bruising but no other meds.
Check up tomorrow. I don't notice much of a difference but my hubby does a lot- a few ppl asked if i have lost weight...

I am considering this. I have done crazy crazy diets for a long time and go up and down. I am not overweight, but am always trying to get rid of my tummy. I work out regulary, but it doesn't seem to do much for that area.
I would do it! :) I am happy i did. I do pilates & work out a lot & could not get rid of my baby pooch or love handles. My doc said "you won't w/o lipo" so i started to look into smart lipo vs vela shape etc...the down time is really not that bad considering real lipo...my close friends don't even know!
there is a big difference. congrats!
Thank u. I personally don't see much (just lil ) of a difference yet but my hubby does. I want my tummy firm & curve in more on the front sides. I will see in a few weeks & hopefully it will be better. :)
We're our own worst critics. I can definitely tell a difference. You look great. And to think there's still swelling that's hiding your results too... :)
How long does this swelling last. I want to do this before June 4th when my twins graduate from high school, but not if I am going to be all swollen.
How did you find someone in St. Louis?

well it's only been a week for me & i am still swollen. I believe everyone is different as to how long it takes.
I wanted surgery done before summer/swim suit time. Not sure how long swelling last but they did tell me i need to wear these compression garments for 4-6 wks afterwards. I got them at Target $34./ Assets & then a waist trimmer $12. I feel like i am wearing a corset night & day (only take off to shower at nt). It's annoying to wear- i have great posture now though! :) I use a anti-bacterial soap too & use vit e to put on incisions to prevent any scaring.
I will say that after the surgery- you can't get up or move around to easily for atleast 2- 4 days- my kids noticed i was moving slower etc. so we told them i hurt my back & i was wearing a back brace...
The doc. told me that it can take 2-4 mos to actually see the FULL results! which in 2 mos for me will be swimsuit time so i am hopeful it will be flat by then!!! :)
I called my OBGYN for referral & they actually do it there in his office (which i didnt even know)- i went there! :)
I will post more pic. next week & def. after 2mos! :)

well the swelling is a mistery...everyone takes a different time. I am 16 days out and am still swollen but again I had no bruising whatsoever. There is difference...and there will be more if you keep eating right and hitting the gym for some light workout. By summer you will look awesome!
btw for the swelling you can get the arnica gel and pass thru your belly after you take a shower. Ive noticed a big difference.
Goodluck :)
