Laser Lipo Abdomin Upper Lower and Flanks ,2 Kids 16 Months Apart , 2 C Sections , Hope my Experience Will Help Others

So today i had laser lipo performed by Dr. Segev at American lipo center .I was able to do my preop and procedure in the same day as i was traveling from out of town . The office was clean, the staff was extremely friendly and attentive . Procedure lasted about 2 hours . You are numbed first and this barely makes u flinch it’s an acidic solution so it didn’t burn in the slighest **disclaimer** this review is from my point of view and subjective of how I feel. U don’t feel the laser but it sounds like popcorn poppin . The actual lipo part was .. uncomfortable. There were times when it hurt but then the dr would numb even more .i found my most uncomfortable areas that made me wince were the tops of my flanks .i don’t have much fat there so it was almost on bone it felt like . I was nervous for this procedure but the doctor and nurse talked to me the whole time and made sure i was comfortable . So the aftercare , you will leak A LOT . Way more than you think . By the time that i got home I went through all the pads,my compression and binder were soaked . I’ve been home 3 hours and changed my pads 2x already . I’m now wrapping unscented wee wee pads around me bc nobody has time to open a million pads . I also am laying on about 4 pads in my bed . I do feel nauseated and have a vomit bag near. Don’t feel any pain . Tomorrow after shower I will attempt pic and massage . It will be dependent upon how the incisions are looking . Will post late

i have stopped taking the Percocet as it is making me Terribly nauseated . Last night I? changed my pads about 4 times throughout the night . It is difficult to get comfortable to sleep . I showered and performed my lymphatic massage for 30 mins . I did have some dizziness but have increased my fluids and just been relaxing . I? changed garments and put on a dprada which feels really good but doesn’t feel as tight in the compression as the marena that was given in the office . The binder is still on . Will be removing thy shortly . No more leakage . Really sore . Not sure if there is much difference right away but i am aware this is a gradual process . Also, Dr segev was up front and stated my results wouldn’t be as drastic as someone who hadn’t had children but as long as the pooch is gone i will be happy with that . I’m going to do the massage 2x a day with the Scala cellulite massager for 30 mins if possible . Besides being tired and sore , it’s nothing unbearable. Patiently waiting for my results . Also ordered a smaller dprada today . My measurements were 33,34, 37 5’8” 201. Originally the office was going to give me a large compression garment but instead chose a medium and that fits perfectly. Right now i have on the dprada 3xl based upon the sizing from allaboutshapewear.com. My hips are 48. The new one that was ordered today was large as i want to get as much compression as possible and have it look good and comfy . Here are some pics . Will updated in weekly increments . Oh a park was also placed in my navel to maintain the shape as the skin retracts

I’m feeling better and the most painful time is getting in and out of the bed/ car or rolling over in the bed . Otherwise I’m fine . No pain meds at all . Stopped Percocet day 2 bc it was making me nauseated and no Tylenol at all today . It feels better when i have the binder on . Am also doing lympathic massages daily at home . Have increased the pressure that is applied . Haven’t done any measurements yet . Here is a better before pic
