Had TT post divorce. 6 years ago and breast augment 5 years this summer. Haven't been happy with the love handles or bra strap fat that didn't go away with exercise or lifting weights. In great health with great skin, so very optimistic about what outcome will be!! Same amazing doctor for all work.

Second day, post op - lipo to thighs, butt, inner knees, and upper back
Yesterday, was REALLY rough. I consider myself a tough gal, but completely underestimated the pain level. Spent ALL day yesterday on bed, using the pain meds as directed. Really struggled with after effects of anesthesia. I have no idea what I look like bc of the compression garment. Very swollen in my face and feet this morning. Have first appt with my doctor tomorrow. Excited to see what I look like underneath this thing.

Coming along.....
Had first post op appt yesterday but he only removed the gauze and sticky pads and checked my stiches (he closes his entry points with stitches as he doesn't feel the studies for leaving them open are that compelling vs the mess of open draining. He's never lead me wrong before, so I'm ok with it. Said I could shower, but was too exhausted after getting out part of the day. Will do that tomorrow and take some of my own pics. Dr E says I'm not that bruised underneath and cautioned me to wear my garment 24/7, so we get good skin re-bonding. No worries there. He said he removed almost 3 liters of fat. Wow!! Spent the rest of the day back in bed, but do feel I'm making some progress. Ate dinner with the family. Sleep is still med-induced, but that's ok. It's only been 3 days!
