I am only three weeks in since my surgery and I can see huge results! I used to have huge love handles and a little gut that drove me insane. Most of my swelling has gone away except for a minimum amount. Even three weeks later I can see what my final results will be. I am now experiencing the hard lumps in my stomach, which is normal. My scarring from the entry sight is almost gone! I am still experiencing tightness in my stomach area however all pain has subsided. I am so excited to see what my final result will be.

Three week update
Still extremely hard and lumpy and tight. My belly button is still miss-formed, I'm guessing due to the swelling?

WOW you look amazing!!!! I am having the same surgery with thighs on April 14 and if my old 54 year old body can look half as well I can die and go to heaven:)

Wishing you all the best! It's amazing how confident you will begin to feel even while you're still swollen!

You look so tiny. U look great and will continue to improve. I am 11 weeks out and still have hardness and some lumps so I think it goes with the healing process.

No favorite CG but did have a squeem waist chincher or binder that I wore after 4-5 weeks. I just got a corset or waist trainer that is comfortable. I also have a spanx in size small that I wear when traveling.
March 25, 2014
Oh great! I was looking into the squeem but wasn't quite sure If I should go medium or small?

The chart that was on the site I ordered from was pretty close. There is even a YouTube video on sizing and how to put it on.

Wow your results look amazing! I'd give your belly button some time to see if it gets better. Bring it up with your surgeon the next time you have a post-op appointment. Thanks so much for sharing on RealSelf :)

Thank you! I can already tell that my belly button is slowly but surely going back to its usual.

So I am now 2 weeks out and have not seen much results at all. I know everyone heels and progresses differently but it is so depressing to not see any difference.

Have you been wearing a compression garment? I was super swollen for my first two weeks.
March 26, 2014
That's possible! I know in my first few weeks I was starting to doubt that it was even worth it!

Three weeks was the first time I started feeling and seeing a difference. My swelling decreased majorly by that time.

I'm exactly 3 weeks out now and I feel and look the same. I am so frustrated with the whole thing.

Yes I am wearing the CG. I am 3 weeks out now and feel and look the same as before the surgery. Dr said it could take up to 6 months to see full results. When you spend the kind of money that we have spent doing these procedures we want immediate results. It's very discouraging to see your pics and you look amazing after 3 weeks and I see nothing compared to you.

I am sorry that you're results have been so delayed! I know the frustration it the price and I can't imagine how discouraging that must be to have paid so much and to feel like you don't see the results you anticipated on. I don't know if my age has anything to do with the quickness in recovery or if the fact that I took arnica to help with swelling. It could be just that you have extra swelling and are taking longer to go down!
