1 year post TT - the journey continues

Completing my Journey - Fairfax, VA

Sure plan on posting this weekend.

Hi Milenia I'm one month PO from lipo on upper lower and abs,flanks, lower back and bra line. I also had an extended TT with lipo in 2011. The best way to get rid of lumps is with massage. You have to massage continuously! I can't not express this enough. Maybe even a few lymphatic massage treatments. Garments are important too to assist with contouring. Good luck and happy healing!

Hi Princess! I'm a month PO from my lipo. It has been so worth it. I can totally see the difference in my body and no more muffin top...lol. I had lipo with my surgery but of course he couldn't be aggressive during the surgery. Just be prepared to massage and massage. It will be necessary to smooth all the lumps and bumps from lipo. I was off work 5 days. I wish I had taken a bit longer maybe 8 days. Not because I couldn't work. Just wanted more time to deal with the swelling and bruises. I would say get some arnica gel or Traumeel cream it was a life saver. Pain gone immediately. Pineapple juice and no salt. You can literally feel your body swelling..at least can. It's funny to me I never heard anyone mention lipo after theTT. I found out that it a very common request. TT gives you the flatness and removes the saggy belly. The lipo sculpts your body. I have no regrets. Good Luck! Please reach out if you have more questions or concerns.

I had lipo on the 5th and I totally agree with you about the compression garment it sucks. It was great with my TT not so much for lipo. I have started using a stage 2 garment during the day. I wear the other at night when I have time and privacy to adjust it a 100 times. Thanks for the updates and happy healing!

You look great! How long does he want you in the compression garment?
