  • Posted to I Should Have Done It a Long Time Ago - Lilburn, GA on 16 Sep 2012

    I went in for my follow up friday and I lost 4 inches in my bra roll, 4.5 at my waist and 2 around my hips. I'm STILL noticeably swollen in my lower abs so they expect for me to lose a lot more! THANK GOD! So far, I'm pleased. Right now I only have 1 roll instead of 3 on my back :-) and my bra size went down...Not the cup but the back. They told me I even have to get a smaller garment bcz I loss the inches. I'm hoping to go down another 2-3 inches in each area. That would be AWESOME!

    I had some loose skin the day after my procedure but I swell up almost immediately after taking my garment off to shower. Believe it or not, I'm 5 weeks in and still swollen and tender. The Dr. sucked out some fat where my pubic hair grows and that was REALLY flabby once the swelling went down but now it's firm and back to looking normal. You'll go through a few changes before you see some pleasing results...NO worries.

    I heal pretty well after surgeries but I do a LOT of massaging to the incision points. I also use the cocoa butter stretch mark lotion (every morning and night), neosporin and hydroquinone (skin bleaching cream). I loved my smooth belly even with it was ROUND so I have to have a regimen to keep it smooth. I had emergency surgery in 06 and those scars completely disappeared just from massaging them daily. The scar tissue also disappeared as well. I hope this helps you!

    It'll be fine! You'll be happy about NON "pouch" look. :-)

    Yeah, I was super nervous about the whole process especially since the day after I had my consultation I had my procedure. NO TIME TO CHANGE MY MIND! I really don't have any advice for you during the procedure. It was seemingly painless! I watched the Olympics, talked on my phone and text throughout the entire surgery. The Dr. and I had several conversations so, that helped to make me comfy too. Where do you live? Are you in Ga?
