Wanted a little sculpt and some improvement of my cellulite on the outside of my thighs. My abdomen, lower back, and inner and outer thighs were done. I had my saddle bags done years ago and was thrilled, (but that's where my cellulite came from) and the recovery was a cake walk. Not so much this time! My abdomen was pretty tight, so much so that I felt like it might rip. I had a drain in my lower back that had to remain there to drain a seroma that didn't want to go away. It was there for weeks. I had to wear baggy shirts and tuck the drain in my pants. I also had to have padding inside that wonderful girdle garment to keep pressure on it.. I was just pretty miserable sitting and moving around way longer than I thought. It was about 8 weeks before I was exercising and doing the things I normally do without feeling broken. The seroma finally cleared up, but that area needed to be touched up in the office while I was awake just to flatten that area out...this time, it was a piece of cake. I actually still have some slight bruising over a year later, but its not very noticeable, and continues to fade. My cellulite looks much better, and I think that continues to improve as well. All in all would do it again in a heartbeat , and am very happy with my results. I'm 47, one child.

Hi we're u awake for the VASER lipo? Any pain rt after sx? Do I still experience bloating in ur lower abdomen now that u have had the VASER lipo?
July 26, 2014
No, I was not awake. No residual pain or bloating. Just still have some slight bruising and some numbness. Neither is bothersome.

How was your recovery?
August 18, 2014
Hi, It was pretty rough at first. I was very very sore. Sitting down hurt, rolling over in bed, moving! My skin on my abdomen was so tight, it felt like it could rip. I also had a seroma on my lower back that required a drain to stay in there. It finally healed up, but that was no fun trying to hide. Honestly I didn't feel back to normal for about 8 weeks. I had my saddle bags done years ago and had no issue. Was like I worked out a bit hard, but was on the treadmill the next day (although I got yelled at for that LOL). This was a completely different story. However, two months of total time is really not that much in the scheme of things, so I have to say it was worth it. I'm very happy with my result. I hope that helped. Good luck!

You look awesome !
August 19, 2014
Thank you! I just checked out your profile. You already look great and your weight is lower than mine. I'm also only 5'3. You should look great when you are done! I'm anxious to see your results. Good luck!! I have to laugh...we are trying to get smaller...and there are many Brazilian Butt Lifts on this site that amaze me that people want to be that big! To each his own I suppose! ;)
August 19, 2014
yes , that's funny to me as well , adding wt. your abs look absolutely amazing. I only hope to look as good as even your pre hahaha. not too many of us slimmer people are having lipo . Im having smart and vaser combo to achieve best tightening and slimming effect. I really hope that I don't swell too much as at the very least look as big as I look now. That is really my only concern. I m pretty thin and don't want my mid section to look like im 3 months prego. do you recall if you bloated that much? please please advise,
August 19, 2014
No I didn't look prego at all. Really thinner right away. Plus that stupid garment you have to wear keeps everything in its place and sucked in. Plus I wore foam, just to keep some swelling in places down. Even with the foam I didnt look bigger. I had some tops that were blousy with some leggings. I even had the drain to hide that you couldn't see. My PS did a great job sculpting the sides of my abs.. I always had pretty good abs when my weight was down, but she really scooped the edges. That's probably why I was so crippled at first! LOL! You'll be great!! Try not to worry... Do you have time off to recoup?
August 19, 2014
yes, I took off until the 8th or 9th of september. so I took 10 days to rest . I so have an all day class 8 days following the last procedure .
August 19, 2014
That's great! All the best!
