25 Year Old Female Having Liposuction to Inner thighs, flanks, arms and abs! - Baltimore, MD

Hey! I'm 22 and have had those procedures. My page documenting my experience might help answer some of your questions!

In my late 20's I had liposuction of the abdomen, flanks and hips with fat grafting to the breast...twice!! Everyone heals different so no one can give you the exact answer. Patience is best. Understand it will be painful and more it will be uncomfortable. The compression garments become annoying after a few weeks but they are EXTREMELY important to the end result. It's all about getting the best result so you don't have lumps or uneven healing. Shouldn't be out of work more than a week but listen to your body. The scars are tiny, usually less than an inch long but I still used Maderma once stitches healed. The swelling can take up to six months to completely subside. In fact if you're happy with the results after a couple of months feel great because the results will only continue to improve over time. For exercise it's good to listen to your doctor but more to your body. This is your body and your money. Look at it as a long term investment. If it means waiting an extra month to workout to heal correctly it's worth it for the money you spent to get the result you want. I hope this helps...
