TT with Lipo on flanks & chest - West Des Moines, IA

Are you pleased with the result? If you had it to do over again, would you?

Sorry to hear that, I'm glad you are on the mend now. I can wear jeans pretty comfortably at this point. I'm not entirely happy with how my flanks turned out and expect there will be a revision which will obviously set back the final healing.

Stubakka, how are you doing?

Yep, it posted

I was in the same position you are in now. Swelling (edema) and uncomfortable sleeps. Starting at about 3 weeks post op I started taking vitamin supplements for edema, getting professional lymphatic massage, acupuncture, using Kelo-cote, and massaging with Palmers products. Today I'm good to go other than sit-up are still a bit uncomfortable. It all gets better with time. I did all that stuff so mentally I could know there was nothing more I could do to heal any more quickly. I was bored out of my mind for the first 3 weeks PO and researched all these ways of potentially increasing blood flow and circulation while decreasing the edema and healing time.
