How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Pics

Some before and afters. Can definitely see an improvement in saddle bags, going to have a little revision on the right hand side. (Technically left, but right side as you're looking at the pics).

Have a little thigh gap too, and inner knees much better - again, touch of revision on the right side as you're seeing it now.

Update...swelling!! Ouch!!

So, today was my first day back at work, it's 5 days post surgery.

Ouch. Felt some pain, uncomfortableness, and also swelling! The main part of my job requires me to be literally on my feet in heels for 3 hours, and by the end of the three hours...I couldn't wait to sit down!!

Had my post-op check last night, Dr said everything is progressing nicely. I can't see as much of a difference today, I'm really hoping that is due to the swelling. I don't want to have to go in for a revision! I'm the worst patient, as I have no patience! I just want to get back to life, back to work, and for this to be over now!

Brusing fading, and at least that's something. Compression garment is a pain, I really love the hour in the morning when I take it off, take a shower...and reluctantly put it back on!

Still can see a difference, just not quite as much as I'd like for the price at the moment! (Price financially, and physically!). Will post a picture tomorrow, see how the swelling is coming along.

Another pic of knees - feeling better on day 2!

Just a quick update, it's Sunday, I had the lipo on Friday. I'm walking fairly normally now, up and down the stairs, it hurts, don't get me wrong, but I could go back to work tomorrow if I had an office job.

I give long presentations and am on my feet for hours, so Im glad I have a couple more days, but definitely if I was sitting at a desk for the day, I could go back tomorrow.

Have attached a pic of my inner knees, that was a real trouble-spot for me, the pockets of fat on the inner knee. Again, I'm hoping that the swelling goes and I get an even better result as time goes on.

Dr Bendago called me both yesterday and today, to check how I was progressing, and I have a post-op on Tuesday. I was impressed with that, he didn't have to ring me personally, and I think that's the sign of a very good Dr.

Have taken a couple of 'normal' painkillers today, don't need more than that at the moment. I am aware though, that a lot of people say they get worse before better, so we'll see! :-)
