How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

4 Days Post Op
4 days post op:
Things are getting better each day. I'm less sore, more mobile, and able to get out of the house. However, my compression garment was VERY uncomfortable around the rib cage, so I replaced it with some super high waisted compression leggings and lipo foam. That was so much more comfortable and got me through the day and evening, but what's not great about that is having to get the pants on and off to go to the bathroom. Last night I was sweating a ton while sleeping and I woke up very sick (I'm sure I was dehydrated) and had to go to the bathroom. Once I took the compression leggings off (this makes a big pressure change in your body), I got even more nauseous and went "in and out." My eyes were fully dilated and I couldn't see for 1-2 minutes. It was scary... As soon as my husband brought me out of the bathroom (slowly) and underneath a fan with cold washcloths around my back and neck, my vision started to come back and I was much more awake.
Long story short, if you choose to switch up your compression, just make a hole in the crotch so that you can go to the bathroom without taking them on and off. I did read about this beforehand, but I'm here to tell you that it's important from personal experience!
Other than that, everything is healing up nicely. The bruising and swelling is slowly going down, which is great.
Lastly, a gentle reminder: this is a lot on our caretakers, ladies. They love us dearly and hate to see us in pain, so the husbands/caretakers that are taking good care of us should be thanked for that often.

So Far, Worth It!
I’m 1 day post op, and it’s amazing how fast the body heals! I had lipo from my flanks, abdomen, knee (prone), and legs. So far I’m very happy with the results, and I’m shocked at how I’m already off the pain meds. I’ll update tomorrow:
