Hi, right after my procedure I felt fine so I walked around to have dinner. But when I got back I found blood dripping from the lipo site. I called my doctor immediate and he explained thats not to be concerned as its not active bleeding since I dont feel dizzy and my blood pressure was normal when I was discharged. This is just left over fluid in the body. Just wondering is this normal to have such bleeding right after the procedure?
Yesterday I had a tumescent lipo in my flanks and today I showered (as my Dr. said it was okay). My concern is that my flanks look exactly the same than before getting the lipo (except for the bruises). I know I have to wait around 3-6 months to see the final results, but I have also been reading that most people do notice a signficant change the first day after the Op. Is this normal?
I am one day post op for lipo of the abdomen and flanks. The compression garment I was sent home in had clasps up the front (with pads under to absorb drainage), shoulder straps and a hole in the crotch. It wasn't extremely tight and felt like my lower abdomen/groin weren't being compressed much, and were swelling up as well as jiggling when I moved. I put spanx over the garment which helps the support and doesn't feel uncomfortable, but is there such thing as too much compression?
I had lipo of abdomen, flanks and outer thighs yesterday. The garment is tight at the upper ribs, under my breasts. Will it leave permanent indents and make the end result look weird? Also my labia is bruised and swollen. They garment isnt helping that either. Anything I can do to get the swelling go down down there? Thanks.
I had trunk lipo to remove my side boob bra area fat today. The left side had leaked consistently for about 6 hours. There was a lot of blood at incision site. Nurse said ok to change the gauze. The right side hurts worse than the left but no drainage on right. I'm wearing my compression garment but my entire rib cage hurts all the time. Now my legs feel swollen and whole legs hurting. No fever but pain meds not helping and worried about legs. I'm 35, healthy no heart or any health issues. Help!
I had lipo on 10 areas - inner/outer thighs, love handles and upper/lower yesterday. The doctor used local anesthesia (max) and I could still feel intense pain during the entire process. He didn't finish my stomach because of intense pain. My legs are so sore I can't even walk or get out of bed, and can't find a comfortable position to lie in. I've been vomiting a lot too. Is this normal? I have a trip in ten days and prior the doctor told me I would be healed in time but now I'm not so sure.
I weigh 53 kg so small all over but couldn't shake the stubborn fat. My surgeon informed me he only took 150cc and I'm worried it wasn't enough. Further more he doesn't believe in compression garments but don't they aid in tightening of the skin which is what I was hoping for after 2 pregnancies. My flanks are covered in black and purple bruises not sure if garment would have prevented that. Considering buying a garment.. Thanks so much for any advice.
Got my surgery done yday. What should I be eating for first 10 days. Since there is no workout and I am on meds (painkillers, antibiotics etc), want to ensure I eat well. After 10-15 days I can start workout with light walks etc. Please advise.
I have done liposuction 24 hours ago. I have done it around the abs and hips and my body is bruised and swollen from the procedure obviously. The doctor stated the recovery time would be around a month but I was thinking of going through cryotherapy to expedite the healing. Is this fine?
