6 Weeks Out: Couldn't be happier

WORTH IT
I'm now 6 weeks out from my abdominal liposuction and Renuvion (J-Plasma), and I could not be happier with my results. I started going back to the gym at 4 weeks post-op, and I feel so much lighter and fitter! It's an absolute joy to do abs now without all that extra weight around my midsection. For the first time in my life, I went to the gym in a bra top and leggings - no more baggy t-shirt!
I have a few lumps/divots in my stomach, and my skin isn't perfect (you can still see my post-pregnancy stretch marks, for example), but I am AMAZED at how much my skin tightened up. I initially went to consult with Dr Correia for a tummy tuck and I'm so glad he recommended the liposuction and Renuvion - I've got the stomach I always dreamed of with almost no scar.

Day 5

Still bruised and swollen, but I LOVE my new stomach!
I can't wait to see what it looks like in a few weeks / months. I know the results aren't final for 6 months to a year, but I tried to pinch my skin this morning to see if there was much laxity, and I could hardly believe it - I can barely find anything to pinch. I was nervous that the Renuvion wouldn't be effective because it doesn't have a great success rate / approval rating on RealSelf, but it seems to have worked really well on me!

Feeling great. No pain from the incisions or in my abdomen. I get a bit light-headed from time to time, but I've probably been too active the past few days (walking at least 10,000 steps and doing quite a bit of housework).

Day 3

I am covered in bruising, but I actually feel great! And I know it’s much too soon to tell, but I took my binder off last night to shower and I think that my skin already looks tighter and smoother. (See photo)
I still have a tiny bit of soreness, but I feel almost entirely back to normal. I even walked 5km today. My only complaint is that my binder was cutting into my waist quite a bit. I added a square of lipo foam underneath it after my shower and it feels much smoother and more comfortable now.
I went back to work (from home) the day after my surgery, which was probably too ambitious. Today I didn’t work and it felt great to be able to nap, relax, and drink lots of herbal tea. While it’s definitely possible to work from home immediately following lipo, if I had it to do over again, I wouldn’t!
