I am a fit 37 year old. No children, I run several times a week I'm 5'7" and 130lbs. Ever since my teens I've had stubborn belly fat. No matter how thin and no matter how great of shape I'm in that darn fat just sits there. So I decided to break down and get Lipo in the lower abdomen and flanks. I'm now day 3 after getting it so there is still a lot of swelling. Even with the swelling I can already see a huge difference. Most of my swelling is in the public area which I've read is completely normal. I'm pretty confident that I've made the right decision. I'll continue to post my progress, but so far-so good!

Haha. Seriously. My dr told me to start taking the stool softeners the night before my surgery. So glad I listened to him.

1 week Post Op Appointment
Just went to my 1 week post op appointment. Dr says everything looks great and don't have to wear the foam under my compression garment anymore, yay! I can also start low impact exercise, such as walking and squats in 2 weeks, I'm pretty pretty excited about that.
I still have quite a bit of swelling but that won't be 100% for several more months. I'm already so happy with my results.

Two weeks out
I am now two weeks post op from my lower ab and flank Lipo. I'm loveing the results already. The swelling has gone down quite a bit and a lot of the bruising has gone away as well. I started working out again yesterday, although slow it felt great to be back at it. Can't wait until summer time to show off my new body!
