Don't get botched. Get an experienced doctor that has been around for a long time. Not happy with my results. Been to other plastic surgeons that say "that's too bad" or "she should have done it different" Overall not very happy with my results. But her and her staff are very nice people.

well it's been a week and i'm not feeling as horrible as i was a few days ago... finally used the bathroom.. whewwwwwwwwww. I still can't straighten out all the way and i get this other drain removed tomorrow that's a relief for sure at least I can get dressed again woohoo! So I weighed myself.. after getting lipo on the back and sides and abdomen i still weigh the same DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?!?!? ugh frusturated. Feel like I should be looking better by now

Ok, I see an hour glass figure, even though you are swollen! Your results are wonderful, just be a little more patient.
Lol thank you but I suck at patient... Ugh!! I see one to.. First time ever in my life. But from
The side I'm still big and spent a few grand more on lipo... Maye I should have researched a bit more silly me! Thank you for your support though!
Just wanted to say...always look at you before pics..I guarantee you will like what you see. Give it time. You look great so far!

It's only been a week so you need to give this some more time.  Try not to weigh yourself for the first 4-6 weeks.  You will have fluid retention, swelling and all sorts of other things going on.  Be patient and know that the first 4-6 weeks are the most critical.  

You are looking good this is for sure not a 24 hour look at me I am hot surgery it takes weeks and months and the darn scale is not your friend til the swelling goes down, just know that in a few weeks you are going to look better than you ever thought possible, just focus on getting well, the gym will be there when you are ready, it takes time, even at 4 months I am still waiting to feel normal again, but you do feel better everyday. The pics look super, you are so swollen trust me, you are going to be amazed in a few weeks when you look back!!!
