You look great but you are still swollen and healing!! Give it the three months. I hear Dr Y is the best. I went to Elite where he used to work and thinking that I should have at least talked to him before I shelled out the $$$ for Elite. I am 7/6 out on my procedure and I am not happy but I had 5L max and paid 20k and need to take my own advice and have patience but I am really unhappy... You still have healing to go and hopefully Dr Y stands by his work and if a small revision is needed, he will do it for minimal cost..keep us updated!
His is super as well as his staff...Certainly have high hopes here. What did you have done?
I had my abs and flanks done on 9/23 and back, bra roll, and arms done on 9/29. First procedure was great but the 2nd procedure was awful and I felt everything. Healing has been really tough and I swell at the drop of a hat...You really look great so just give it at least 3 months before you judge.
you have had 3 kids, could this be rectus diastasis?
100% is part of it, but lipo had to do as I cannot afford the time off required for a TT. But will certainly get this corrected in a decade or so when my kids are older and I can take a month to myself :-)

About 3 weeks and 2 days post

So I stopped taking photos as I had started to obsessed over the way things were going, so at first super flat, very smooth. Then lots of uneven areas....had my Dr. Visit yesterday who reminded me to allow it time 3 to 6 months to start seeing the real finish. My waist is certain way smaller that I look like I had my boobs done too because I have lost about 6 inches around my waist and me bra roll is gone. Here are some selfies which are really up close to show you guys the change.
Massages are key and I am not doing very well because they hurt like hevk but I will certainly wotk on it more ... feels like hard balls under my skin...

I can see the big change. You look great. Yes, patience is key in helping. Just think 3 mos com now how much more amazing you’ll look
thank you, yeah very optimistic here...going to be broke so this needs to work out lol...unlike some ladies here with 3 kids it;s all about budgeting to take care of me :-)

YOU profile photo looks bomb, awesomeness
You look really good. But I understand your pain. I'm 10 days from lipo and im going for my first lymphatic massage tmrw. The most irritating is the CG. I have the foam and ab board. Did you find a CG that was comfortable...if that's even possible
Sorry, what's CG? GIRL They are so painful, I cried the first two that I gave up going and trying to do it at home. It's worst than giving birth....it's heat and pain at once BUT if you don't have someone at home it's the only way....my husband hates helping me bcuz I [RS bleep] and get mad but it's much better than getting them at my local spa..
CG is compression garment. But I've been having my husband massage me every night since surgery with the arnicare. I was jumping out my skin the first few days. Bit it's gotten so much better now. So I'm gonna see how bad it is with the professional massage. I'm hoping it helps with the swelling and lumpiness. I ordered a Spanx from Kohl just now. It had good reviews so I'm hoping it's more comfortable!
Oh I did buy one from the same brand as my Dr. It was $115 and totally worthed
You look great. For the best lymphatic massage, see Ingrid of The Healing Force. She is on the west side of LA. Amazing and really making a difference for my lumps and bumps. I am 5/6 weeks (arms/abs and flanks) post and healing really slowly and still really swollen at the end of each day. However, I had a lot of fat removed. Also, the best compression garment that I have found is Bonito & co. Super soft and comfortable but expensive. Since you are almost 4 weeks out, I would go with spanks if they work for you. Good luck! Keep us updated on your progress!
Thank you

Bruising almost gone

Drinking coconut juice and eating pineapple, tip from a beautiful RS buddy who has amazing results (teddt135). Being greedy here.....the area that bugged me why I did this is swollen so waiting waiting ..... is the pooch right under my belly button

You look BEAUTIFUL, love! Remember that all the fluid that was injected has to come out of your system! If you are in a hurry, drink DIETER’S tea - poop tea from GNC every two days. It WILL MAKE YOU POOP! ❤️
Oohhwhee, thank you. This is good to know.
You look great!!
Swollen it changed today. My body is swollen and I am in a bit pain, taking off the garment had been too much for My body. My back is in so much pain .... I am giving up salt completely for a bit, I think that's adding to my water retention and how swollen I got today.
You look amazing and it will continue to improve. Can’t wait to see 3 months as I know you will look even more amazing!
how are you doing now? i am 2.5 weeks post-op myself and am more swollen now than 2 days post. i wore my compression garment religiously too. my belly wasn't a concern before, but now, it is hard and swollen more than pre-op. wondering if you're experiencing the same as well.
You look awesome lady.
