Hey. So I got my procedure done yesterday. So far all is going well. I know everyone might say that it is too early to tell, but I feel great. The dr. And his staff were amazing.
I am in a bit of pain now that the tumescent fluid is draining out. And I am draining quite a bit. But over all is am super happy ??

Today marks my fifth day since my procedure. I am a bit sore, swelling and bruising, but they aren't that bad. I have been reading that it's too early to judge, however I can definitely see an hour glass figure starting to develop. I am super happy worth every penny.
I was wondering, is there room for more improvement , or is this it? Since I have shown such drastic results this fast?

I am 51 years old, 5'9" and just over 200 lbs but losing like crazy on Weight Watchers! I went through new 42G bras every month. My back, neck and shoulders were always in pain. Thanks to my surgeon, his staff and BCBS of Massachusetts, I am now living in comfort & feel beautiful. I'll post sone early post op pictures soon!

I officially hit week four yesterday. Doing OK, but the underside incisions are staring to bother me. I can't put anything on them (Mederma, Vit E, BioOil) or they get very irritated and sore. Just going to have to fade naturally I guess! I am going to try to post more of my progress photos tonight.

Weight Watchers is going great too! I've lost 32 lbs since 2/29. Feeling like a new woman for sure!!!!

A few people asked me why the $2k Cost for the procedure.....I opted for lipo under my arms as well. I didn't want to end up with breasts with wings!!! :)

I've added some Week 4 photos to my album. The irritation from the oils is almost all gone now and the girls are starting to soften up and fill out, although not at the same time! The left breast seems to be ahead of the right! :/ A small unpleasant and painful bruise on the left nipple is also starting to fade.

I don't even want to post my week 5 photos. I am so discouraged. My right breast looks like a deflating balloon. The left is fine. Sigh. I'm lopsided.

Feeling so much better today and almost pain free. :)

I am a 23 year old female that has struggled with my weight my entire life. Since January of this year I have been working one on one with a personal trainer four times a weeks along with going to the gym on my own. Although I have lost 25lbs I still weigh in at 175lbs. With my 5'6 stature I am still pretty chunky everywhere!

My arms have always bothered me, I always shied away from tank tops, halter tops, and always wear a sweater no matter how warm it is outside. It took me about a month to decide that I was going to go ahead with the procedure, which I had yesterday!

I have had very minimal pain, it feels like I just had a real intense work out with weights! So far I am extremely happy with the results although I am still very swollen. The doctor told me that my skin was shrinking very nicely during the procedure which gives me very high hopes for my future results!

I go back in two days to the doctor. I will keep you posted!

It has been 5 days since my surgery and I have worn the compression garments 24/7 since I had my surgery (besides washing them once). I am not really seeing any results yet which really have me upset. I know thinking that I will have skinny arms right away wouldnt happen but I would really like to see some sort of change!

My arms are very yellow with bruising. My audits are healing pretty well, all the audits except one look really goo and small. However, one shows bleeding under the skin and is more rectangular in shape rather than circular.... it looks like the the skin was ripped during the procedure.

I went to the doctors on Saturday but they were basically just looking for infections and not the shrinking of skin.... I just need to know that the skin will shrink. I am totally freaking out.
