Getting Lipo and a Lil Scared!

Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. It is on the other hand a contouring and "shrinking" procedure. I agree with the other comment...Why on earth would you spend $7500 on lipo if you are already a size 4??? That is pretty tiny. It may take longer for you to see results since you are already a small size. I myself have dropped 6 pounds since my lipos surgery but I am not no size 4. When and where on your body did you have lipo done?

HI...I am 5 days post op from lipo of the inner/outer thighs, front thing and inner knee, bikini and flank area. So needless to say lots of lipo was done on me. I am having a lot of swelling as well and to be expected! The problem I have which started on the night of day 3 was my lower leg (calf) and feet are majorly swollen...Have you experienced this as well??? I went to my post op app and mt ps said it was noraml since I had inner knees lipo'd. But ugh it is driving me crazy and is starting to hurt and bother me. I am wondering if I am going to need the area drained..???

Wear your garment!!! It will really help with the results. I know the things are very uncomfortable but ya gotta do it. I am only 3 days post op and already tired of the thing. haha But it really does help with my soreness and swelling. I like the way it feels tight like it is holding everything in. In fact I go in tomorrow for my post op app and I am going to ask for something extra to put around my abd/flank area. Good luck to you! :)

Hi all... I am updating on my surgery. It was done on Friday June 4th 2010. I am now today 3 days post op and no complaints so far! Needless to say I am very swollen and sore but that is to be expected with any cosmetic surgery. When I woke up from the surg Oh boy was I in some pain but nothing pain meds would not help...The first night was pretty bad because I was up having to poty every hour with all the fluids draining. So the worst was 24-48 hours after for me. This was my second cosmetic procedure first I did breast augmentation in 2002 and now lipo. I must say Lipo is much more painful and a longer recovery time. I have my post op app tomorrow so I will take some pics of my 4 days post op and post them along with my before pics. I have to also say that all the people on here that have had a bad experience and have had not good results. Makes me wonder if you all did your research and went to a well reccomended BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGERON..??? It is still too early for me to say about my results but I can say that yesterday was my first shower and looking at myself w/out the compression garment. I can already see results!!! I am excited to see my upcoming results within the weeks ahead. I also think the key to lipo is wearing the compression garments as directed for the whole 4-6 weeks and maybe even up to 8 weeks. So anyway so far so good with my lipo. I did my inner/outer thigh, inner knees, flanks, bikini area and some slight lower abdominal and back area. I thought I would be much worse than I am at 3 days post op. I am up and down walking around and only taking one to two pain pills a day...So one day at a time!

Hi all...I am the one that posted this and I still have not had my surgery done yet. I had to put it off for a bit due to loosing my job! :( But my surgery date is back on and is for Friday June 4th. So I will keep you all posted post surgery! Thanks
