My Story with Liposuction
UPDATED FROM Emerald18
5 week Post OP
$10,000
I am starting to feel better but still have electric shock sensations down the leg sometimes, also feels like muscles are bundled up in a bunch. I asked the doctor and he said its normal and to give it a month more. The whole point of me going through this was because I wanted my butt smaller however doc wanted to keep it the same, he likes butts on women and I am one of the few requests that. . I wanted too much and I guesshe knew that so he lipoed 1 inch instead of 2, and im glad he did. It probably would've been too much. He IS the doctor. I went from a Kim K butt to a sofia vergara butt. pics attached

4 week post op
its been 4 weeks, hard to believe! feeling a lot better these days however still swollen and bruising if touched. I have been eating pinapple to get the healing process going faster. my muscles on my hips and outer thigh still hurt. i went to see the doc today and he said everything is healing but will look better as the swelling goes down, incisions are healing as well.
When i took my 1st day pre-op, i must of been out of it still from the drugs but there is a difference, love handles are shrunk, butt and thighs as well. i will try to post pre op pics

I'm glad you're feeling better and you'll only continue to look better and better as the swelling goes away.

Day 8 post op
Healing slowly but nonetheless healing:). I can't tell results quite yet but bruising and swelling is going down. There is an indent on my right outer thigh with a weird sensation and occasional twitching so I will ask the doctor when I see him. My digestive system is back to normal due to me taking narco on the first 2 days only and after that advil and an optional pain med only. I have been doing light exercise but can't wait to exercise with running, yoga and go back to my dance class!

I'm 11 days post op. I had lipo on my flanks, hips, inner thighs, outter thighs & some on the top of my thighs. I weighed 180 on surgery day 196 after! Today I'm at 187. I'm bruised all over & I have those same blood splotches you mentioned. I have some pics of my bruising & swollen feet on my profile. The swelling is horrendous!!!! My doc says to drink lots of water, eat right & elevate my feet when I can & he said light walking is ok..& now....we play the waiting game... Lol. Happy healing :)
yup i weigh more too! sooooo much swelling that im having a hard time keeping the garments on:( i like the marena ones that doc gave me but its a whole body suit so i ordered the one that is from the calves to mid/upper stomach without the weird bra part. are you keeping yours on all the time? i am also 11 days post op, doc said it should go down significantly by week 4, so im hoping he's right lol happy healing to you too, can't wait to see how we look like after the swelling is gone, you look great already :)
I'm in spanx from my knees to right under the boobs. Yes I only take mine off to shower. I sleep in it too. I feel better having the support! I've already dropped -0 lbs of swelling. I'm still 5lbs above surgery day weight nuts getting better everyday! :)
*ive already dropped 10 lbs
I hear eating and drinking pineapple juice really helps with bruising. My friend is bringing me some this morning. I'm 2 day post op. Haven't weighed myself but I'm stuffed like a sausage in the compression garment. Bloody hell this thing
It takes time for the swelling to go down and your results to really show...good luck
thanks, i hope so my weight hasnt budged either. how long did it take for your swelling to go down?
I'm at 3 weeks & 3 days post op. I weighed 184 on surgery day. 197 after surgery & now I'm 179. I've been very cautious of eating healthy & walking.
wow awesome, i could be exercising more but have been cautious about eating. are you still taking any meds? doc told me to keep on taking advil but im worried about harming myself for taking it so long. i am also 3 weeks and couple of days post op
About 3 weeks for the bulk of the swelling to go down, but it was really a few months when I totally settled down. I am 5 days post op from my 2nd round of lipo w/bbl and am so swollen I can't even put on my boots or wedding ring. I am icing down my back and rear now.
Glad you are starting to feel better. Impressed that you're even able to do light exercise. I definitely was not at that point 8 days out!
thank you!:)
Hey emerald! You have such a cute figure.. Even before. I hope sx turns out like you wanted. Dealing with swelling now too and blood splotches on my inner knees. He didn't do lipo there but guess the swelling gravitated down from inner thighs and pubic area. Doing arnica and milk thistle. Want to start massaging lipo areas ... Lightly! Made mistake of light exercise and massage too soon my legs became tree trunks. Maybe I did it wrong. Also went back to work too soon and more leg swelling. Avoiding salt! And eating clean... Lots of anti inflammatories but still impatient for results. Funny how you wanted to get rid of your butt and I finally got mine after 40 years! Update when you can
lol that is funny. thank you, i hope i get the result too! i emphasized and probably drove the doc nuts that i wanted my butt smaller but still on the girly side so he still left some butt. im only 1 inch down than i was before but my shape is less 'lumped out' which i wanted. i dont expect any drastic changes just a little tweaking on the thighs and butt. cant wait to be 100% better and wear my tight jean, still swollen and bruised however improving every week, i agree so hard lol
