WORTH IT$7,000
It has been 6 months since the Vaser Liposuction. All the pain and discomfort are a distant memory. I am 80% satisfied, though still have one area on the left that simply will not go away. My doctor says its not fat, its loose skin. I am not up for any more surgery, so it is what it is.

Meant to add that I did not lose weight, nor did I expect to. I actually weigh the same as before. But the lumps under the bra are finally gone after dealing with them for years and trying to diet and do non-surgical ways to get rid of them. I also have more of a shape vs looking like a puffy water heater.

Hi Annie, what is the name of your doctor? I am interested in consulting with him/her.

If you have lipo and gain weight back over time, it will come back in weird places. They will tell you that is not true buy that is my personal experience. I gained 10 lbs and it went all to the bra area, or so it seemed. It's like it had nowhere to go so it went there. Lipo is the only way to change your shape. But if you gain it back you will chase that fat all over the place.

@AB Normal that is so true I had traditional done 6 years ago and now I have fat in the same areas that just came from nowhere about 2 years ago. The surgery is certainly worth it but it almost makes you wonder some time why bother if if the fat is going to travel.

Friday - The compression garment is extremely annoying - feels like a spike strip wrapped around my torso. But sucking it up and keeping it on as best I can. I tend to rip it off in the night because I cant stand it... my torso area is very hard, some areas feel like I have a hard pencil under my skin. I am going for lymphatic massage today and then Ultrasound on Monday - the BMI on the scale is down a bit more, by 7%, but weight is the same as before surgery - I know I am retaining lots of water. Hope this massage is helpful.

Gosh, Annie, it sounds like an awful procedure to go through. I am scheduled for two surgeries but they are very different from yours.
I do hope that you are feeling better.

Annie, how are you doing now? I had vaser assited lipo done last week, my symptoms were more or less the same as you. Its been a week of similar discomforts, I am wondering how long is it gonna take to be normal.

Its been a little over 3 weeks since the surgery. The area is still a bit tender, especially the punctures in the lower back, which pinch a bit when I move. It feels like my abdomen is tight, like when you do too many situps. Though I normally wear a 38D, the bra is too tight and uncomfortable around my mid back, it cuts into the skin and is making a depression, so I have stopped wearing it. I bought a Spanx/Assets cami that seems to work really well, despite the D cup issue. The skin is still tingly/numb. As far as "looks", I am 75% satisfied so far. I feel like there is still a blob of fat on my left side, under the bra line. Overall though, it does look a lot better and I no longer have a roll on my tummy that looks like as second set of boobs - I have no regrets and would do it again in another area if necessary. I know this is not a weight loss procedure, but the scale has still not changed, I weigh the same, but the % of body fat is still down and I look better, so that is the most important part.
Advice: Wear your garment as much as possible and dont put on tight clothing, like bras or jeans, because the area is still healing and it could cause permanent dents in your new shape.

Thanks Annie,I appreciate your advice. 10th day after lipo. For last 4 days my doc asked me to wear the body tightening belts above the compression garments., I am simply worried about their effecs.I have got three of them on myself.It is quite a discomfort but I would bear at the cost of a better future shape.
