Hello everyone! I've completely neglected to keep everyone updated and I'm sorry for this. The first 2 weeks were bad for pain but I was completely back into my normal routine with work and exercise by week 3. Now 3 months later, I couldn't be any happier!! My results are amazing and I'm sure I will only make even further progress with skin reduction and toning as I continue my journey. The scars are hardly visible, they look like little bruises at this point. I would recommend this to anyone!!

Hey everyone! It's Friday and I am 4 days post op! Feeling much better today. I went into Dr. Ewart to have a small check-up and see if I could have my drains removed. Everything is looking good and the drains came out! What an odd sensation that was...I'm still a little numb to the touch so the whole exam was a guessing game as to what I would feel or not feel. Dr. Ewart suggested I switch over to taking ibuprofen to help with the amount of swelling I'm experiencing. I was cleared for a shower!!! Oh my goodness, let me tell you. Best shower of my life! I feel so refreshed and thankful I don't smell anymore. :) I took the opportunity during the shower to start massaging areas. My back is definitely more tender and I can feel the lines starting to form. My guess is from the compression garment and how I've been sleeping. I want to litigate that so the massages will hopefully help in that process. I took some photos pre-shower. I am already so delighted with my results! I can tell with more time and less swelling, I am going to love my new self- I already do!

I know! If I can already tell a huge difference now, I can only imagine how I'll look post-swelling! :) I am so pleased I decided to do this and thankful for such great results already. Dr. Ewart did an amazing job!

You look great! I'm very close to your stats so I'm hoping mine goes as well as yours did!

Thank you! I am so impressed with my results. I'll post more updated pics tonight. You can definitely tell the swelling has gone down even more just by the position of my incisions which is amazing. I'm so happy with it. I'm back to full time working out with absolutely no pain too.

Today is possibly the worst I've felt. I thought I was doing well last night, as my pain was subsiding a bit. I woke up this morning at around 0515 to pee but almost passed out from the pain. I was able to stumble back to bed in time, but I was so uncomfortable. After a small nap, I woke up in sweats and feeling so nauseous. I've been eating soup and crackers but still throwing up. I can't wait to get past this hump in the road! I'm slightly regretting putting myself through this pain.

I did abdomen flanks along with a facelift - give yourself five to six weeks to decide what you thing. Lipo swelling can last for a long time so you need to give your doctor the benefit of the doubt. I am thinking about doing a revision on my lipo, mainly because I did it at the same time as my facelift so it wan't my PS focus - he was conservative and that has resulted in my not having the curves that I expected. So give it several months - I am one year out from my procedure and now looking for a revision. At your age you have time to make sure you get the benefits of the surgery and deciding if you need more.

I have no doubt that I will enjoy my results and I know they won't be overnight. Honestly I'm learning more about my low pain threshold than I ever knew beforehand :) I'm willing to be patient for the long term results, but I definitely do not want to be in this intense amount of pain for months!! I can handle the dull sore feeling and be happy knowing it'll all be worth it. I am excited for my results.
