Satisfied. Can't wait for the swelling to go down, 5 days total including surgery day of pretty bad pain, easing up daily. Privates not visualized look like my leg pic day 6 post op, kinda scary but was told that was nml. GL to any considering or in the same healing process! Dr. Rhee did my surgery and she and her office staff and nurses are amazing!

Day by day. Gradual improvement. Bruising is improving. Pain is improving. Swelling is improving, but mainly still in legs, I feel numb in a lot of areas. I have a few lumps and bumps and places that feel hard with only one area on my stomach that is noticeable... Continuing to wear mainly my marena small week 4-12 surgical garment bc my post surgical one for wk 1-4 was a large and way too big, my surgeon said this was fine. I have switched it temporarily for events, work meeting I wore one that didnt have the high back it was more of a high waisted legging, also ordered some black hw leggings from marena group so will let you know how those feel.

2.5 weeks, much improvement but still swelling abd and knees mainly. Still not bikini ready. Marena group 4-12 wk body suit is awesome. Cant for for the 3 mo mark when they said Id be pretty much healed. Totally worth it so
Far. Also had my first lymphatic massage which helped with lumpiness and swelling

Bruising almost gone. Swelling almost gone. Legs still tender to touch with altered sensation (numb in some spots) scars look ehh. I hate sutures, glue would have looked better but I guess they take time... overall extremely satisfied with my results. I am also eating much healthier so continue to drop weight 168 pre op 151 today. I have worn my compression garment most days but have been able to now go places without it on.

My left leg starting retaining some fluid this week which has been annoying so I went bAck to taking my anti swelling vitamins and wearing my compression more since I haven't worn it much since 6 wks. Overall my inches loss is great. She said I still had about 20% of swelling left and that could take up to a year to go away. Waiting for scars to turn light so they aren't so noticeable. Tummy is flat and comfortable in bikini as of 2 months, had to make sure bottoms were thick tho to cover upper thigh/inguinal scars. I liked the lymphatic massage so I have my 6th one this week and I think it helped smooth out the lumpiness and get rid of swelling faster.
