I did mine August 2012 and its now may 2013 and I look fabulous. I did upper and lower abs, waist, love handles. I was already exercising before lipo so I just continued. Loving my results. I did have hardness, numbness but one day I realized it was all gone. Living it
I had my procedure 8/30/2012. It's been 8 weeks and I have no complaints. Hardness is easing up some. Not completely gone, but not enough for me to complain. My stomach looks fantastic. I dropped 2 dress sizes around my waist. I exercise and don't eat carelessly because from my research the fat may have been removed from my abs, but it has to find some where else to go. My doctor advices me to keep exercising. I have lost 10lbs since the procedure.
Hey! So happy for you. I am about 3 weeks post op. I know the feeling. The swelling will make it seem like there is no change. But try putting on some clothes like 4 days after you will see the change. I know I have dropped one dress size. I am not as swollen, but still kinda numb in some areas. I use cocoa butter belly cream and arnica cream to massage my belly twice a day. Some days I feel really good and I feel my stomach looks flat. Other days I feel the total opposite. But overall it was worth it. One more tip. Use neosporin on your incision points. It will help it heal faster and less likely to leave a mark. Also I can't stress this enough. Wear your compression garment 24 hours a day except when in the shower. I sleep in mine and wear it all day. I have two. So if one is in the wash, I have one to wear. You will be fine. I tried working out last week, but I felt my body was not ready. So will attempt again this week. Take care.
