Sorry it took so long to respond, I used a garment with my liposuction that had legs and it seemed to pull everything down. On my vaser lipo I used one that looked like a swim suite that seemed to work much better, especially in the lower stomach, you definitly don't want any thing pulling down, the suite with legs seemed to ride down when I moved especially in the crotch and thigh areas, the suite I used with the vaser pulled everything upward. You also want to remember to make sure it fits snug the tighter the better. Thank you for the compliment, good luck!

I also agree, you look great! The higher belly button gives you a younger appearance and the scar can be fixed.

You look great! Just a little FYI, if you do decide to have your arms and thighs done I wouldn't do traditional liposuction, been there done that, your skin quality is not the same afterward. The Dr. that did it even told me I would have to have the skin removed or a tummy tuck for the skin that just wouldn't tighten. I was told by the Dr. that did my liposuction my skin on my stomach was poor, even though I had lost over 30 lbs and regained in less than a year prior to having the surgery with very good elasticity I'm only 28 yrs old. I went to anouther Dr. and had Vaser Liposculpture, it was amazing. I posted my before and after pictures on this site, check them out.

Thank you so much! The bruising was very minimal and was gone after the first 4 or 5 days. I did make the mistake of taking ibuprofen for a headache the day after the procedure apparently ibuprofen happens to be one of several medicines that can help to induce bruising. My Dr. left the 2 incisions on the bottom open (did not stitch them) I had the most drainage the first day, but did not have any after that. I would recommend taking the next 2-3 days to take it easy though I could have easily resumed normal activity the next day. Also keep in mind the more drainage the less likely you are to retain swelling. What your body doesn't drain it has to absorb and expel naturally. If you notice in my last picture posted you can see the swelling isolated around my belly button and lower stomach, it is very firm almost like a large lump but it is slowly going down. I think the important thing is to be patient, it takes about 3-4 months to see the true results.
