Hello everyone! So I'm not going to lie, though this was the most painless round of liposuction it was definitely the most nerve wracking!!! Soon after my surgery I developed the "hard as a rock" swelling which made my very lumpy and dented in my abdomen. It has only softened up a little and it is still very hard!!! Also still fighting off some discoloration bio expect that to improve with time as well. But I'm happy to say things have smoothed out for the most part even though I still have lots of hard swelling. So I anticipate it will only get better and better. I was so depressed for a while looking at my stomache but definitely held hope it would smooth out and I was right. It'll only get better too! Lots of massage has helped and now I'm back to high intensity exercise and I think that helps too. I'm very happy with my results so far and still have a long way to go with healing! Cheers xx

you look awesome!! So tiny!! I think it is pretty common to start seeing a lot of lumps around 2 weeks. Especially if your lymph system isn't able too keep up with the extra fluid. I imagine that would be stressful without being able to see your doc to get checked out. You look great!! Keep an eye out for seromas. Those are larger collections of fluid that need to be drained. If you poke or tap them with your finger there will be a ripple wave affect like a water bed. Those need to be drained.

You are the best!! I will keep an eye out for any seroma. Yes, it's hard not being near my doctor, but it feels so nice to have a community like this where I can bring my thoughts and concerns. Thank you!

I really enjoyed reading your whole story candy girl and I hope that you are recovering well. I am in Vietnam 10 days after surgery including abdomen like oh and that by far has been the hardest and most painful to recover. Please see my reviews I had a lot of surgery done at once like you.

Wow what a transformation! You are strong one having all this rounds so close together, but clearly it's worth it and worked out well so you. Enjoy your new body, the hardness will subside with time.

Just updating you guys and letting you know how I am. I couldn't be happier with my results so far. As @Afnav said, there's nothing better than looking in the mirror and liking what you see. Unfortunately My mom and I carry so much weight in our faces so I still have a lot of work ahead of me and I'm also gonna start weight training to maintain my results. But I see the swelling starting to get a tiny bit better and the bruising is easing up a little today. I know from experience that I am ussually good to go by 2 weeks. (I get eyelash extensions today too and I really reccomend them! They are so fun and flirty! Love!

I'm not trying to come off as negative... but for $18,000, 3 months of diet and exercise could have gave you similar results.
