Calves and Ankles...TAKE 2! - Tampa, FL

Well it's actually 6 months almost since my surgery and still love my ankles. I promised a photo and here it is. This was taken last month when i saw Dr Su for a follow up. If you are wondering about the lines in my ankles...those are from shoes that fit your feet like a glove. maybe i will post in a year...i dont see how much more they can change. Anyway, im going this winter or maybe next to see Dr Su so he can lipo my arms and then i think I'm done with all the parts that i hate. If anybody has questions, please dont hesitate to ask....

Not sure if the ladies who read my previous comments (and had surgery by Dr. Su) will read this but just in case, here's the latest update. BTW, thank you for seeing Dr. Su; he is an amazing doctor with mad skills. I must admit that even after 5 months and still minimal swelling, I am so excited about my ankles/calves. Every time I look in a mirror I just can't believe the difference. This sounds silly but when I get up in the morning, I lay in bed, lift my legs in the air and look at my ankles because that's when there is no swelling and you really get to see the results. So I just lay there and stare at them. By the end of the day my legs are pretty swollen but that is normal for me, even prior to the surgery but they are still skinnier than before. I sometimes get some soreness in the ankles and just a tad bit of numbness is lingering but it doesn't stop me from running or anything else. I will tell you that I have 1 regret....not getting this done sooner. My self esteem has risen and I actually wear shorts and skirts now. I will hopefully get around to updating this with photos. If you have been contemplating this surgery, please go get a consult and just do it. It's a little rough in the beginning but I promise it will get better and if you have a good doctor, you will be astonished with the results. And if you live in Tampa, go see Dr. Su and his staff at Artistic Lipo.

Here are a couple photos 1 week after my surgery. Minimal bruising as you can see. The biggest complaint is that my arches and Achilles tendons are very sore, so wearing shoes with a high arch insert is very uncomfortable. I'm not in any pain just discomfort. It feels like what a bruise feels like but with throbbing. The compression stockings are annoying. I take them off for a couple hours every day but it feels better with them on. Still no issues with walking but walking down stairs is uncomfortable since it's a hard to flex my feet. Well, that's all for now.
