Ok, a bit more to add, I had to travel by plane on day 5, I DO NOT recommend doing this!
A few things that may be helpful: Use Arnica gel ( supposed to help with swelling and bruising), Do Not weigh yourself! ( Im up and down without reason) I measured the smallest the night of my surgery ( I blame swelling), I was able to enjoy doing the elliptical machine at the gym today ( 30 min on day 10). My inner thighs have remained the most consistently tender. I do feel smaller and firmer but am hopeful for improved results in the coming weeks!
Yes,swollen, I think that I can expect to remain so for a few weeks. I had approx 1.5 liters of fat removed,almost half of which came from my abdomen.I saw the doc yesterday and he was pleased but said that it is too soon to expect results or for him to take "after pics". This is/was a one-time procedure. My bruising is mostly on the back of my thighs and Very dark around my C-section scars.
I had Bodyjet 6 days ago with Dr. C in plano, 5 areas, I am glad that I did it, and am looking forward to more noticeble results in the future as I am still very swollen and have a fair amount of bruising on my thighs.The biggest positive: immediate improvement in my abdominal area!! The biggest negative: ridiculous claims of "almost no pain, very little swelling, no down time etc" I have had 2 c-sections, a major knee surgery etc, i am no stranger to pain ... AND this hurt! This being said, I am happy with my decision and my choice of MD.
