I think it's just swelling. You're only three weeks in. This is when it starts to get real bad. I'm 2 months post tomorrow and not happy. I don't think he did enough lipo on me personally. Especially since he always makes fucked up comments towards me. After my BA he said I should have gone bigger. At my 1 month check when I asked if it was okay to start running again to work on all the junk I ate during recovery he said yes "but you would look better with some meat on your bones" wtf is that??

I hope its swelling!!!! I totally believe you that this is where it gets worst. I am just now taking the pain meds he prescribed. I made it through this with just IBUPROFEN 600 ...I'm still glad all my spring rolls are gone ,but wanted a better results:( ... I can't believe he makes those comments to you ? You look fabulous hon... We should get to our goals this year sometime !!!!! Lol

You look great despite swelling. I heard what you see on day 1 will be your end results after all is said and done. Does that help? Lol

We get anxious to see results right away but, you look fantastic. From picture, appears to be swelling and not fat. I see the bruising from the liposuction...how painful was that and how long did the soreness from the liposuction last...I'm sure hard to say due to the pain from the stitches. Overall, you look great, patience and rest is what is needed now.

Thank you ... Liposuction wasn't bad at all honesty.. The worst part were the drains and, Most painful is the tighting of your stomach muscles .. My incision has not bothered me at all ... I'm not in any pain other than my stomach muscle inside ...

Glad you're doing well. Your scar is nice and low! I wonder why you have two drains and I had one?
