Vaser / Smart Lipo, Abs, Flanks, Chest - Acton, MA

Day 1, approx 5-6 hours, performed abs/flanks first, then chest after. Wasn't that bad pain wise, although, after the lipo was done, when he was suctioning out, the anesthesia began to wear off so he wasn't able to completely finish, so my body will have to absorb a tad bit more than normally because he didn't want to overdue the anesthesia for my body weight, etc. Chest went fine (smaller area). The picture on my profile and below is before and the morning after. Pain wasn't bad at all.

Day 2 & 3, swelling begins, and the 1,000 crunches feeling begins. Two days of pretty tough pain. Took vicodin for the pain.

Day 4, pain wasn't as bad, but not fun to get up and down from bed/sitting etc. Weened off the vicodin.

Day 5, back to work, not a problem but most of the time behind the desk. Nobody could notice I was sore because it wasn't really bad.

Day 6-9 (today). Still swelling, although I feel my right flank still has residual fat still in it, maybe missed due to the anesthesia running out and not able to do the "stand up and check for missed spots". Doctor is advised, we'll see what it looks like at the 1 month point. No pain, I'm getting anxious to start working out. Been wearing the compression garment 100% of the time, had to wash it a couple times, but no biggy.

Tomorrow I'm going to hit the gym and do some light cardio. Meeting with a trainer to get me started on a schedule that won't mess me up. Don't want to go crazy and put myself back.

All and all, doctor was Awesome! I wish my body didn't metabolize as quickly as it did, I might have gotten a slightly better result, but we'll see what it looks like after a month or two and go from there.

I highly recommend to anyone! I've looked like this for 39 years, couldn't change my shape NO MATTER WHAT I did or how much weight I lost or built from lifting weights and cardio. Now I have motivation to get in better shape!

I'll add to this once the month and two month checkups happen so I can give the updates on the residual fat versus swelling, etc. I personally think I looked the best the next day after the surgery. So hopefully it'll look awesome once I'm done healing!!!
