Hey ladies. Sorry I haven't done newer pics yet been very busy. Well still love my results haven't lost any volume. Stomach is getting flatter and still having to massage the scar tissue. I have one problem I am noticing that my flat spots are getting a bit bigger on each butt cheek????? I noticed them slightly the first day I was able to take of my garment but only on one and since then it is on both and bigger. Can't really notice unless I point it out but to me it's like OMG. besides that I haven't needed the garment to much unless I'm at work. Swelling in the inner thighs is still there but improving slowly. Ladies MASSAGE, MASSAGE, MASSAGE!!!! lol. It does really help. Getting a little nerve pain in the abdomen and lower back so things must be getting back to normal. Butt an inner thighs getting a bit itchy so again I'm progressing. Been working out and starting to jog again, which feels great. Very happy that I finally went ahead and did the surgery. A few things I have noticed in my journey. I was over eager to go down to a smaller garment and truly feel that this hindered my healing. When I switched garments on day 3 or 4 I notice ld that I became more uncomfortable over the following days. Finally it got really unbearable and I wondered if the garment was constricting my flow. So I removed it and the triangle. With in minutes I could feel and different sensation throughout my body and my swelling and pain decreased. So don't over do it with the garment. Also, I'm not a person with low hemoglobin but decided to start taking it a few weeks before surgery and stopped shortly after. I can def say I noticed myself becoming more exhausted and after a week I started taking them again and felt much better. So iron helps. Have a great evening ladies...:-)

Hey, I feel regular overall with the soreness, but what is really bothering me is the swelling from the innner thigh that has moved down toward my kneee. After laying on my stomach for more than 2 hrs I began to feel the throbbing ache feeling on my knee and nothing makes it better. It's a bit of a relief to hear other ladies experience the hardness on the top of your inner thighs. I am looking forward to my first lymphatic drainage massage on Thursday. Wishing you a smooth.recovery.

You look great!!! I was feeling that way about my butt too for a while but every time I put cloths on I realize...I'M TRIPPIN"...Kim told me that the shape and size will change a lot during the first 6 mos so I'm not getting hung up on whats going on with it now. I want to start running again but don't want to loose my butt. Are you wearing anything extra when you run?

Hello ladies. I am 2 weeks post op now and I feel...

MizzKhandicane
Hello ladies. I am 2 weeks post op now and I feel a lot better than I expected. I have been pain free and going going going since day 8 post op. soreness when I lay or sit too long and then I just stretch. No pain medication since day 8. Been sitting since week one but with no pressure on the butt. No changes in shape. I thought my butt was way to big at first and I decided to wear a butt in garnet a few times for this. When I got home I put the butt in garment on and went out to have drinks with some friends. The next morning my swelling was cut in half and butt was exactly were I wanted. CRAZY. So waist is still swollen and abdomen. Inner thighs are hard at the top but I have been massaging like crazy so they are getting much better. Measurements are 38, 32 1/2, 46.5. Butt is starting to soften and giggle. My post op was a bit disappointing since I only saw Kim and not Dr. J which to me is crazy since I was a post op patient. Found out I had a small seroma on my lower left abdomen and they drained it. Drained it one more time since then. All and all things are going great. Wish you ladies the best in your journey.

Hello glad to see you are satisfied with results. It doesn't look like you've had a professional massage yet. If its in budget I would definitely recommend. Seems like massages would really help with the drainage of fluid. Wishing you all the best!
January 17, 2013
Actually just had my first one today and loved it. Thanks for you recommendation and well wishes.

I'm having issues making my payment as well! They told me if it's not paid by the 17th (tomorrow) the surgery will be cancelled... but Ummm how can I pay if I can't get anyone to return my call or answer the phone? I just hope they don't try to cancel my appointment for something that I have no control over. =/ It makes me nervous! Your results look amazing, Dr J is definitely the man! He knows what he's doing! I can't wait to see my results!!! Did the staff teach you how to massage yourself to help the swelling?
January 17, 2013
Thanks, yes he is good. They will take your payment cause I'm sure there aware of your calls. No they really didn't say much at post op. Just took pics, looked me over said massage, drain seroma say see ya. Lol. Good luck...:-)
January 17, 2013

Hello ladies, so it's been 4 days since my surgery...

MizzKhandicane
Hello ladies, so it's been 4 days since my surgery and had mostly been very tired. Last night I noticed I had a bit more energy and felt great this morning. I did have some lightheadedness when I took off my garment to wash up. I have been massaging my sore areas to help reduce the swelling and it's worked good. I was put into an XL garment after surgery but 2 days later went and got a L one which works so much better. Been using a board from Lipo Express and towels to help compress my tummy more which you can see in my pics has come down some more. Can't wait till its flat. Measurements this AM were 38-bust, 33 1/2- under breast, 32 1/2-waist (1 in gain), and 47- hips. Appetite has picked back up past few days just trying to stay healthy but want sweets. Lol. Will keep ya ladies posted.

Girl those bikini strings are beggin for mercy...looking good! Do you know if you will have to stay in ATL the full 10 days? And at what point are drains removed?
January 6, 2013
Lol, I know it barely fits and covering a quarter of my butt cheeks. I don't think I'll have to stay the full 10 days cause drain output is already slowing down, but we shall see. They see you 7 days post-op and if drainage is less than 30cc in 24 hours they will take it out.

Found your review and read how you experienced that same thing with trying to reach the office to make a payment. I also thought my date was going to be cancelled, but finally got that settled. Wish you a smoooth recovery girl. Hope your end results is what you desire. Can't wait to go in a week!!!
January 6, 2013
