I'm 12 days out of my surgery. I had a belt lipectomy, lipo in my belly and monds, and Brazilian butt lift. First, I will say the surgery was easier than I had imagined. I went in with the biggest fear of recovery. I was or of it for a few days on pain meds. Walking was a bit awkward for me at first. Everything is tight. I hardley bruised at all. Sitting has been the hardest thing so far because of the day I had injected in my butt. It feels like two hard balls. I never imagined it would feel that way.

Sorry for the few misspellings on the first post. Today I am going to work after twelve days of recovery. I stand on my feet all day. We will see how it goes. I still have two drains in. Ill let you know how it goes. Today is a bit easier as far as sitting on my butt. My scars are looking good. Ill post pics tonight of the incision line. That is when I am allowed to remove and change out tape.

Welcome and thanks so much for sharing your experience with us!

You look great! Are you sitting on your butt already? I haven't had a BBL but I was under the impression that you couldn't sit on it for about 6 weeks post-op, to stop fat loss?

Please do keep us updated with your progress.

The doctor told me to put a pillow under my thighs to take the pressure off my butt. It works.

Ah okay. I'm not sure I would be brave enough to have multiple procedures done at once, but you sound like you're doing okay. I'm just a bit of a wimp when it comes to pain! Haha! :-)

Im a whimp when it comes to pain as well. I don't like being put top sleep so I just did it all. I still want lipo in my inner thighs.....they are yuck.

You look fantastic for 12 days out! I'm having LBL only -- no lip or BBL. Hope my recovery is as good as yours.

I removed the tape off my incisions tonight. Im not sure why but my incision lines are uneven. One side is high and the other is low. Has this happened to anyone else? I am still swollen a lot on one side...the high side. Im freaking out!! My next appointment is in two weeks. If it stays this way I will be so upset. Has this happened to anyone else????

Hi - It happened to me with my tummy tuck AND my breast lift and I'm very upset. Uneven and ragged looking. :-( Did it get better or did your doctor tell you why?
