WORTH IT
Yesterday I did a 3 hour hike with 1000 foot elevation gain with no limitations. There was some less chafing in my legs but they do still touch. I like the overall results and am excited to get active to continue to contour and just get strong. Dr Xu gave me a beautiful and natural shape.
For people wondering if they should just diet, I included a photo from when I worked hard to achieve the best I could with diet and exercise. I look similar, but the airsculpt makes my boobs look awesome right now as normally at the weight it takes for my abdomen to look leaner the boobs are gone. And even with weight loss I could never get quite that shape in the back profile, and I was an inch bigger at the belly button. These results are perfect for me, as I was originally considering a brest enhancement, which is how I found airsculpt.
The bruising is all healed and the scars are getting a lot better. I use vitamin E oil regularly. The inner thighs I don't recommend for the price, though I guess these aren't the final final results.
I still have some swelling in the flanks and back but overall doing well healing. Very happy with the results.

It definitely is the worst day 3-5 but gets better quickly. Now I don't notice anything. Zero limits

Did you do lymphatic massages or anything?

I did a little bit of self drainage following a post surgery tutorial on days 3-5 because I was very uncomfortable. But be careful you can do more harm than good if you do it wrong. The doctor recommended not getting lymphatic massage. I did some dry brushing after week 3

Inner thighs 3 week mark

At three weeks they are back to looking nearly identical to how they started. However, the circumference is one inch smaller at the top of each thigh, and I do notice significantly less rubbing when walking. Also, the lumpiness I had been worried about is all gone. Hopefully swelling continues to reduce and we see more of a difference but lifestyle wise I'm very glad for less friction when in yoga pants. My hope is to have comfort walking in bare legs like bathing suits and dresses

Thanks again for sharing your progress! I have my arms scheduled next month and still on the fence with legs (inner, outer, banana). I don't expect outrageous results, but my biggest is fear is little to no results. Do you still feel happy and confident with your procedure? I think you look great BTW!

Thanks! I'm not sure I'm on board with the legs just yet. To avoid dimpling they cannot take a lot. But, I'm still really stiff which is a sign of swelling, so it could still get the gap I wanted. I'll post again in 2 weeks or so and let you know. My doc, Dr Xu, was awesome and also warned me that banana rolls can make your butt fall because there is nothing to support it. Probably depends on your body but I haven't seen any pictures of inner thighs where it makes a big visual difference. I am glad for a bit more comfort on long walks.

Hi! Thank you for sharing your story! I’m having my thighs done in 2 weeks and I’ve ready horror stories about how bad it burns. Was that your experience too?

It is pretty hard to get photos on your own, especially of back angles. It is not actually lopsided, I just end up twisting a little to hold the camera and push the button. I'm still swollen in the sides, back, and top of thighs but it is going down a lot and there is a lot less friction when I walk than before. Hopefully that top part gets a little wider.
