I had my upper and lower abs done and also my flanks. I have been thinking of getting this done for a while now. I have two boys age 3 and 1 1/2 and while I am happy with myself I wanted to feel better about my midsection. My surgery went great, I did feel some pain every now and then but it was bearable. Honestly I don't remember much of it or the ride back home. As of right now I have some pain and swelling. I am using pads where I have the incisions and am leaking a lot. Have had itchy skin and sometime it does hurt. I looked at my belly and have noticed minor bruising. Pain meds are making me very sleepy and I am having a hard time find a position to sleep. Hopefully tomrrow is even better. I will do updates and post pictures.

Still sore and my lower back is hurting today. Feels like a did a hard back workout. The leaking has stopped and now I am using just bandaids with Neosporin. In a few days I will start to do some binding. I am still swollen but look better today. I have minor bruising on belly, sides and back. On Monday I go in for a follow up. I took some pain meds because my back is bothering me but ither than that I have just some pain where the procedure was done. So far I am happy with my progress. I am eating healthier and smaller portions to get better results. In a few weeks I will resume my workouts. I will keep you guys updated on my progress.

Hi hun, I'm looking into lipo myself in the same areas. Did you have Smartlipo and if so local or general anesthesia? Anyway you do look slimmer and I'm sure your so swollen right now. The binding is really important I heard in keeping it all sucked in so to speak, you mentioned that you will start the binding, did you not have binding right after surgery? I'm just trying to figure out what to expect.. ☺️ Well I hope you feel better soon!

You should be doing atleast one dry brushing per day as well, to help stimulate your lymphatic system...very simple- use a sift bristle brush and start at your feet and work your way up, going in up and down strones

**strokes (not strones) only...
And do your entire body...softly. ..it shouldn't hurt at all...

I still wear my garment everyday all day except when I shower. I will try the soft brush for sure. Thanks!

What is the Velashape? What is it supposed to do?
May 6, 2016
It is a massage with a machine and it helps with the swelling and will get rid of any hard lumps. A lot of people use this to get rid of cellulite but my doctor uses it as well post lipo to speed up results.
