I've been really focusing on massage to break that fluid up. I just had my first post op professional massage, and man... Ouch, but ahhhh. The therapist does 25 minutes training and 25 minutes massage. I was surprised how weak I was, but I can tell it's going to help me get back into my workout routine. And I feel like I can move so much better. Here are some pics- still a lot of swelling, but sooo much better. Im slightly yellow and bruised as well.

8 lbs lighter in a day!
finally doing it...July 1, 2016
Wow, the difference a day makes! I am 8 lbs lighter than yesterday. Thank god. The swelling has gone down. I was sooo uncomfortable. I am on a diaretic now, which is obviously contributing to the change. I have to say though, the massage was the big shift. I bought a deep tissue massager at the drug store and it broke up all that hard swelling so much easier than I could have done myself. I still need to get a lymphatic drainage massage next week, but just breaking up that fluid has been amazing. Here's the massager I got...

So silly question - are you just using the massager over the areas you had done? I have a similar massager and I didn't even think to use it on my abdomen after my procedure
July 2, 2016
Yep- the areas treated get really painful and hard with swelling and this thing really helped. My dr had shown me how to do the massage with my hands, but I found I could get deeper easier with this. I can't say it's fun though! Ouch! How are you feeling?
July 2, 2016
I'm feeling pretty good - I tried massaging a little this morning and my skin was just a little too tender still. Some areas are still numb too so I'm trying to be careful not to overdo it without knowing.

wow 8lbs! congrats! How r u feeling? I just got my arms done with dr. hansen again and it's all lumpy and painful. I'm starting endermologie today. it helped with my inner thighs, all smoothed up after about 6 sessions (about 12 days since I did it once every other day for my inner thighs). maybe you can check it out too. but it's a bit painful though. a little expensive too depends on where you go for it :/ some places offers it cheaper than others (I would say LA is more expensive). and thanks for the link, maybe I can switch to the massager after i use up all my endermologies. (got it in a package for discounts lol)

I'll check it out! Dr Hansen referred me to a massage therapist/trainer as well. I just now finished my first session and it was amazing. He specializes in post op clients I think.

oh nice! who is it and where?! I already had my endermologie packages before I had lipo with him (got it from my previous 2 surgeons) so I didn't know about this. id like to check it out!
July 4, 2016
It's worth checking out at least... It was nice not to have to explain my procedure to him since he knows them all so well, you know? Let me know what you think! Let him know you're a patient of Dr. Hansen's-

Saw the dr today
finally doing it...June 29, 2016
hi! saw the dr today to talk about the swelling. apparently, I freak my self out and the swelling is not as crazy as I think it is. he assured me all is well and that it's time to get back into exercise. any type of exercise. he kept repeating that I can not mess up my results at this point. all I can do is improve and exercise and massage is the key. sooo, i'll stop whining and work out and massage myself! it does hurt like crazy though. but, he says that it always hurts less than it did the previous time, so that's good. I do have a lymphatic massage next week that I'm looking forward to as well. I'll post some pics soon-

I have a friend and she had a tummy tuck and feels i should get one too. Because of hanging skin after?? I dont have her body type. And evern the nurse said i was Tiny, and did not need a TT, just lipo. How much did you weight and how tall are you ? Did you say you had drain tubes?
I hope you feel better. Thank you.
