2 months post op

So, its been 2 months since my surgery. Its been up and down in terms of recovery. Nothing serious but still experiencing a lot of swelling since I am not required to wear the garment any longer. Debating on going back to wearing it, but that is a pain too since its layers under your clothing. Completely possible right now since its winter here and layers of clothes are no issue but I'm getting frustrated. Also, I'm pretty active and keeping up with the gym and running but this also causes discomfort and swelling. I did an hour cycle class, then ran a 5k with a triathlon group over this past weekend but seemed like it caused a lot of swelling the following day. Also since I am not as active as I was, I'm finding it harder to eat well. I've always been like that... more I work out, the better I eat and vice versa :(. Hoping to post more pics soon.

Post op time in Brazil

A few pictures below of my hotel... as I mentioned overall my stay was amazing. I even spent an entire afternoon at the spa getting a mani, pedi, and my hair done :)
Will post some more recent photos since I've been home recovering.

7 days post op

I had my surgery on Monday and moved to a hotel a short distance away by Friday afternoon. The hotel was great and I felt very safe and hotel itself was beautiful with breakfast included. They were very accommodating and the food was very good with the exception of one meal (hamburger) I had ordered. After the some of the swelling started to subside, I took these photos. I ended up having lipo to everywhere (stomach, flanks, back, and inside of thighs). Resulted in a fair amount of bruising as you can see from the picture of my leg but this didn't last long as my PS had promised. The close up photo is of my scar which I find to be very neat and tidy and low which makes me very happy! I should mention that in the days following, the medical team (including my PS, physiotherapist, and Anesthesiologist) made sure that I had plenty to do and was getting out of the hotel room daily. In fact, I got to see a lot of Brazil, did some amazing shopping, went out for dinner, etc. I was pretty busy and moving a lot. I think this was good for me to get out and SO enjoyed my time spent in Brazil. I travel a lot and it seems crazy to say that this was by far one of my favorite trips considering I went there to have surgery but it was really the people who made my stay an unforgettable time :) It also helped that it was 34 degrees C and sunny everyday while it was -10 C and snowing at home!

Overall rating

Amazing Experience! - Honestly can't say enough positive things about my experience. Not only am I extremely satisfied with my results, but the entire team went above and beyond to help with every aspect of the procedure including logistics, emotional support, pain management, expectations, etc. I traveled from Canada to Brazil to have this done and am convinced this was the best decision. Had many consults with other plastic surgeons but was thankful for my choice. Response times, support, and results far exceeded my expectations!
