Recently got my body done April 20th, 2017 and although I'm still swollen and tender, I must say the results grow on me each day. Not looking in the mirror definitely does help with not over obsessing or over analyzing anything. Yesterday I had my Post-op app with my Dr Bruce Kadz and he said everything looks the way it should right now. My body is in a "blister form" which just is an easier way to grasp the idea of your body projecting fluid causing the swelling and soon letting your skin attach to muscle. He also told me he took out 5 liters of fat. WOW. I still wake up every morning feeling swollen and it is an annoying pain (I am only 6 days in so it's expected). I was very calm and knew what I was getting myself into the day of surgery so I wasn't worried at all. If anything just a bit nervous with the anesthesia part but honestly it was a breeze. The staff made me feel comfortable. It felt like I was only asleep for 5 minutes but the pain after waking up was crucial. Only the first day was the worst for me. But I think that's because I didn't know what to expect? I also asked if lymphatic massages were mandatory and the dr told me no I don't have to get them and I can just massage my stomach at home. I'm a little worried I'm going to develop hard lumps from reading other dolls experiences on RS. I will definitely keep up to date on my Liposuction experience when I see more improvements. And I am so appreciative of my mother who is an RN so it helped a lot as well to have someone around that knows what they're doing.

7 days post op!
One week finally! Still tender. Obviously. Swelling goes up n down. Usually stays pretty steady during the day but at night I start feeling the puffiness popping outta the garment. Especially in my thighs. Last night they were so swollen it was ridiculous. Whenever I feel my torso swelling & walk over to the mirror I look fine. Just internally inflamed I suppose. I massaged by self with an empty water bottle just to compromise since I don't like using my fingers while massaging my stomach yet LOL feels weird because my stomach is numb so it's like touching somebody else that's all bruised up. Also I forgot to take a side picture but I am so amazed by how thin I look. There is no bulge at all. I'm so used to sucking in my stomach 24/7 but now there's nothing to take in.

HI i had my lipo on my tummy done 2 weeks ago yesterday. My tummy feels on fire and there is no comfort. I take my meds minus the oxy's since i went back to work and drive. I wanted to ask if your tummy gets really hard when it swells. My tummy feels raw under my skin and I'm afraid to even eat because i will swell up. I tried ice on my tummy and now taking valium to sleep. but all the paid is worth the results. I can't wait for the pain and swelling to go away. Happy Healing!!

I don't notice my stomach getting hard while i swell up I just feel inflamed and it feels like it's ripping through my garment lol

I see my ps on friday. I don't know whats going on but I'm a bit concerned. Im almost 4 hour away from my doc. i was a bit swollen again today and my tummy is hard.

I'm 2 weeks post op also. It sometimes feels like my belly is hard, I also had hernia repair. I see my doc tomorrow, hopefully some massaging will help but I want to get approval first. I think massaging is suppose to help get rid of the lumps and hardening.

Hi did you buy a specific kind of compression shorts for the lipo on inner thigh?
April 30, 2017
Hi!! I just ordered a better compression garment for my whole mid body + thighs because the one the doctor gave me feels loose to the point where there is no compression and it stops in mid thigh so it's causing a bad indentation for my inner thigh healing. I ordered one today that supposed to be above my knee and will post pictures when it comes in but I got it off www.designveronique.com it was expensive if you're interested. Around $120

Thank you! I have heard alot about the bonitos also, have you tried them?
May 7, 2017
I had my flanks, upper back lipo and and its been 10 days now and i felt hard bumps all over. Do you have the same? Thanks
May 7, 2017
Yes!! I just showered and they're all visible on my abdomen. I massage them for a while hoping they go away over time
May 8, 2017
Thanks now that i know its normal. I had a massage yesterday and today hopefully it will even out.
May 11, 2017
Hi i also went to Dr.Bruce. He dud bbl, lipo on my flanks, bra line and mid back. Also removed fats from my inner knee. I'm 2 weeks post op now. My inner knee is still hard and swollen. Same with my back, flanks and bra line. Its so hard and dents all over. I've been wearing my garment since the surgery and doing the massage to soften the hardbess and hopefully even out the dents. Hopefully it will go away and smooth that area. Can you give me updates how your swelling and the hardness in your abdomen and flanks area? Do you have dents all over? Thanks
May 12, 2017
Omg I bet you look great with the results so far! I'm loving the shape he gave me. Yeah towards the middle of week 2 I had super bad swelling at night but that went away towards the end of the week. My swelling only occurs when i move my body more than usual n my thighs get swollen if I walk a lot. I have a ton of bumps on my stomach still. I hope it goes away. I massage them everyday but I haven't noticed a difference :/ & I can only feel swelling when I'm out of my garment to shower. My stomach is still pretty stuff and numb also

We're just 6 days apart from our surgery. I feel bloated all the time. Before my surgery i was 127 now I'm 138.5. I don't know why. Hopefully its the fluid inside of me. Because the fats that was injected in my butt was from my flanks, mid back and bra line. Still hard and bumps from my lower armpit down my flanks. I just ordered lipo foam to put inside my faja to help even out the dents and bumps. I've done my research and it says the lipo foam helps the swelling, bruises and bumps.
May 12, 2017
I wanted to order an ab board so I might get that for the bumps also. I feel like when I massage my abdomen it makes my urine super yellow which is odd because I stay hydrated so I'm assuming those are the fluids that are releasing? Do you have the same problem or is it just me lol
May 12, 2017
I have the same yellow urine too. I thought because i don't drink that much fluid because im bloated already hahaha

The my stage 2 garment was around that price! The one I left with from sugary was a size XXL and girl I was shook because was I really that swollen lmao pre op I wasn't around that size either. I think since that one didn't give me compression that's what caused me to be swollen all the time. (I now wear a size medium garment). Btw did Dr. B give you scar marks in a mini slash rather than common the dot incision marks?
May 13, 2017
Ugh he gave me mini slash too and its ugly. I saw some girls here and they just have dot incision. What bothers me i had my between knee fat removed 6 mos ago but dr.bruce lipo my thigh instead of removing the fats between my knees and he don't want to fix it again unless i do another surgery. That's why i decided to do bbl and lipo my back so he can lipo my fats between my knees for free. And what bothers me he slash another one instead of doing the previous slashed he did. Now i have 2 slashed below my back knees. And its so obvious. My butt after 1 week has a dent and i told him about it when i saw him after 1 week of post op and he said too early i have to wait 1 month. I don't know if it will disappear if not im not sure if he will fix it either. I read a lots of bad reviews here about dr. Bruce... too late for me. You can check what other patients said about him I don't know if u can find Frankenstein posted reviews for Dr.Bruce
