Ask you doc if he has anyone he uses. I did a lot of research about it even after it was recommened to me. I asked the doc on realself and it was confirmed. It is very beneficial. If your doc doesnt have anyone then google it in your area, just make sure they are experienced. I started mine at 2 weeks.

The lymphatic massage helped me with my hard lumps. I would def get that done very soon! My massage therapist says between days 7-9 is when you will get the best results if you start with the massage to get rid of those lumps. I also started apple cider vinegar shots ( have a drink near by lol) and started adding fresh lemon to my water to help your lymphatic system. Hope that helps. keep us posted.

HELLO!! its been almost 2 weeks friday. I just got back from 7 miles walk. I can pretty much do my normal workouts except running. I am now starting to get these little pea sized ball things in my stomach. I've been just massaging my stomach thoughout the day and at night i kay on the couch and massage them for about 30 minutes. ???WHEN DID ANYONE FEEL THESE THINGS STARTING TO GO AWAY??? I feel that my last pics i posted i look smaller than I do now. Which is a bummer! I dont really think im swollen at all, but I really dont think so. :/

I went to Dr Shafer.......very knowledgeable, professional and kind. His office is on 53rd street in NYC. I definitely recommend meeting him for a consultation.

Thank for the info, there is a promo on living social $1000 for a liposuction, which is better lipo or smart lipo, how is the apperance of the skin and price for the one u did, sorry to ask so many question but im trying to decide if i should go to dominican repu or just get here and what kind, thank u

I'm not sure....depends on you individual case. Smartlipo is supposed to be less invasive, and therefore shorter recovery and lower risk. You'd better consult with a PS first!
April 10, 2012
OMG, I look amazing!!! Are you still in pain?
April 10, 2012
I'm still pretty sore. I've been wearing my two garments pretty tight 24/7. I walked a little
Over a mile the day after surgery. Then the next day I was on my feet from 8am to 9pm. I been pretty active no rest. But
Doc says for me to walk everyday so that's a good thing. But I am still pretty sore. In certain spots. And all day I'm
Rubbing my stomach where I'm
Feeling it get hard. Mostly sore in the morning. Still not comfortable sleeping with being wrapped so
Tight but whatever takes!

You look great my surgery is set for April 14th I am so nervous and excited. You look amazing.
April 11, 2012
Thank you @mom681 I love my results can't wait till I'm
Healed! My advice to you is. WEAR YOUR GARMENTS TIGHT! And they suck so bad and are so annoying! But it's worth it!!
