Hi All, I mentioned a few days ago that I was to have vaser today on my outer/inner thighs, knees and calves. I did go ahead with it although I was very nervous and wanted to share by day one experience with you all. I am overweight,any amount of exercise has never helped my legs. There was a lot of fat to extract.

The vaser treatment lasted upto 4 hours. I found it very painful, least painful out of the four was outer thighs. The only motivation was seeing the fat being extracted and the new shape.

After the treatment there was a lot of leakage and I was in a lot of pain. I have had pain killers and pain has calmed down a little. Have the garment on. Legs are swollen cannot see the new shape and having difficulty in walking. Have a slight tingling, burning, throbbing sensation.

I will post pics shortly. If you have any questions happy to address them.

Day two. There is no pain today just discomfort. No leakages. I can walk although it is slowly. Feeling frustrated as my legs are very swollen. They look bigger than my original size. Doctor has recommended that I take my garment off for a few hours a day to help the circulation. Should I massage my legs to help circulation. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

I had my saddle bags and abs done about 4 weeks ago. My doctor told me to constantly massage the areas even though it is painful. She also told me not to take off the garment unless I was showering. I'm surprised your doctor said to do that. I was really really swollen and frustrated in the beginning. Now the swelling is coming down and I'm starting to see more results. Currently, I am wearing the same jeans I wore before the surgery. I was hoping I would have dropped a six by now but it seems to be a really slow process. I also have been taking Arnica Montana and also applying Arnica Montana gel which seems to be helping with the swelling.

Thank you for the advice i really appreciate it. Will the removal of my garment impact the end result? I will keep the garment on from now on.

It's been a week since I had vaser done. It hasn't been a great experience. I fainted once and having been suffering with dizzy spells unable to do much. Went to the surgeon. He said it may relate to the antibiotics he has given me. Changed them yesterday and haven't been dizzy. Secondly my calves have troubled me a great deal. The swelling was getting worse day by day. My feet had swollen so much that I had to remove the garment. I was worried. The surgeon said that liquid has built up in my legs. He has created an incision in each foot so that the excess liquid can drain out. There is a lot of leakage. My calves are not feeling as hard anymore I am massaging them regularly but having difficulty in walking as calves are tender. Hopefully will be able to go into work next week. The knees, outer and inner thighs have been fine. There is bruising but they have not troubled me as much. Let's see how the next few days go.

Nearly two weeks in and I can confidently say I am happy with the results! My legs have never looked better. The swelling is not as bad as last week. Walking and massaging my legs really helped.

Hello pink lady. Really enjoyed reading your honest comments. Can you tell me which doctor you went to in London (I am already booked to have knees done + have paid half deposit already), but am getting slightly nervous now. How are you feeling now more than 6 months on? Are you pleased with overall results? Thks

Hi Sandy. Thanks for your feedback. Check out Doctors Makeover. The doc will have my before pics. Pre-op i didn't have shapely knees. My thighs merged into my calves! Had fat lumps on the back of my knees. Very depressing. Now I am very very pleased with the results. 6 months on and I have bought myself some hot pants for my beach holiday next month. Also inspired a friend of mine to get vaser done on the areas she was not happy with. Not that I wish to put you off but I still remember to this day how painful the knee part was. Mind you I had the whole leg area done so the anaesthetic was not as concentrated BUT I do not regret it. I am glad I did it. 15 mins of pain has given me long term self-confidence. My doc said that I will continue to see changes in the first year. Hope i have provided you with sufficient information. If I can be of any further assistance please get in touch. Otherwise I wish you all the best!

Thanks pink lady for prompt reply. Don't mean to appear ignorant, but where do I check out doctors makeover as you did not disclose your dr (am anxious to know who it is though as not many doctors in London are trained to do this hi-def vaser). Pls let me have his name cos you did not provide. Incidentally, the dr I am going to would not do my inner/outer thights (said skin too loose!). I suppose he was being honest. One final question how many incisions did he make on each knee and were the stitches sutured? So glad you're pleased with results - sounds like being patient is key. Happy holiday next month...

I suggest you go on the website. He is the only doctor there. A previous surgeon said the same thing about my thighs...that the skin is too loose. Absolute rubbish as this doctor had no problem doing it and the results are positive. Only one incision on the knee and incision looks like a small mosquito bite. Sorry for late response....just got notification that you mailed me today.

Hi Pink Lady,

Can you tell me which doctor you used, as I am really considering having vaser lipo on my inner and outter thighs and knees. How much did it costs you in total
