photos of follow up visit at 2 weeks to show swelling and recovery

I received follow up photos-so I deleted the unclear ones. Here are the actual photos from my 2 week follow up appointment. Bruising is almost gone but the swelling is usually at its peak at 2 weeks. I promise that even with all the swelling-you will still look better than before the procedure!
I have received many messages asking if I had fat injected and even my own sister asked me if I got butt implants-which is hilarious considering she has the same body I DID!-lol
so- NO! I had ZERO fat injected-no butt implants! Dr Gruber did lipo only to create the shape and protrusion! I still laugh looking at the photos because I insisted I didn't have enough to remove to create this shape. If you are considering this procedure-send Dr Gruber your photos and let her tell you what she can achieve!

2 months post-op

I haven't updated in a while-I was trying to stay in sequence and did not receive photos from my follow up appointments. Dr Gruber had given me a few side by sides but they are not very clear since they are on paper. I wanted to show how the swelling temporarily affects your results. Throughout the past 8 weeks I have not really had pain-it was uncomfortable at times and I continued to wear a garment that Dr Gruber designed herself. It is not mandatory to wear a garment after 2 weeks but it really kept me comfortable and kept any residual swelling down.
The Gruber Booty procedure has really made a dramatic change to my whole body! I am very happy with the results.

ONE WEEK

I am one week into recovery and it really hasn't been bad at all! I do have normal swelling and bruising but this procedure was surprisingly an easy recovery. The garment is a little restrictive and I have included photos to show how Dr Gruber protects her work. I am always shocked when I read reviews of liposuction patients who have to purchase their own garments on Amazon??? At the end of your procedure with Dr Gruber-you are literally custom fitted into a garment that will help your end result! After the nurse does EVERYTHING possible to make sure your sculpted area is covered up tight-Dr Gruber comes back in to inspect it and will and has changed me out to fit better-without hesitation and now that you have soiled the one she didn't like-they throw it in the garbage. Until she is satisfied-you are not walking out-lol The next day at your follow-up-the nurse removes your garment and gives it to sealed in a plastic bag to wash. She then places you in a clean fresh garment and also gives you an additional one that is one size up for when you swell up-to use only if needed. so now you have 3. The garment is so important-they are expensive but I still just can not believe a doctor would trust a patient to just pick out something online??
