Hi, I am years out. I am not swelling up any longer but it did take time. I am happy with my results but do want to go in for a touch up lipo on my stomach. Feels good not to have to tuck in my fat like before. I do have nerve damage and am numb on my rt upper leg. This, to me is a small price to pay as it is not bothersome and I was warned/ advised it could happen. I still have a scar that is extremely noticable but again, I don't plan on being in a bikini so it doesn't bother me. It will evevtually fade, but for me it just is taking a bit longer than others. My only regret is that I did not do this years and years ago.
my pubis mon is still a little swollen. It may be just fat. I will get it lipo'd. but the swelling is getting better. It really depends on the person. no two people are a like to it is really hard to comment.
I had a TT and MR on July 29th 2010. The last couple of days I have felt swollen. It has only been a little over 2 months now. I still feel it was worth it. I was and still am over weight but I certainly am watching what I eat now. I like the looks of my tummy. No overhang and many compliments. Right leg top is still a little numb but that is normal. Everything else is healing up well. Dr. says that if the scar is still red then you are still healing and yes expect some swelling. Good luck all and I hope that my results stay that way. By the way had no lipo. But I am thinking about doing my upper arms.
On the 29th I will be 8 weeks post op TT and MR. Seems so long ago. So far the scale has stayed about the same loss 12-13lbs and the inches around my waist lost 9-9.5. Still get tired and am still wearing the compression garment. feeling much better. The "spots" that were having a hard time healing are finally closing up. Feel great.
