2 Weeks Post Op!

WORTH IT
Officially 2 weeks post op! I felt really great by around day 5. I've been pretty much back to normal life and work since then. I had my 2 week appt a few days ago and my surgeon is happy with everything. I'm using the ab board in my faja & it makes a huge difference! Swelling is minimal, but still hanging around. I just massage a few times a day and take my arnica & bromalein each day. I plan to ditch the faja at 6 weeks. I'm working from home, but plan to return to the office next week. I'm vlogging my experience on YouTube, so if you want to watch, look up my channel lazygirl beauty.

Looking great!!!! What's an ab board??
Thanks! It is a oval shaped board that I wear in my faja over the foam. It keeps my stomach from creasing when I sit.
Oh wow! Never heard of that! Does it help?
Hi, did this correct your lower abdomen from the Lipo? Can you please post an update?

Technical difficulties

I've tried uploading pics from my phone, but finally gave up and decided to hop on the computer and load pics from today. I've turned the corner today. Swelling has reduced a ton today. I decided to get back to work tomorrow, as I'm getting pretty bored being at home. I'm lucky to be able to work from home, so I'm going to work from home the next few weeks, in the hopes that "swell hell" will go away sooner.
I started taking bromalin and arnica and I really think they are helping. Finally got a chance to get a picture of my scar. I think it will heal up pretty nicely. My surgeon is the best!!

Congratulations on your surgery!!! It's early days, but already you look great!!! I had my BA in 2015 and completed my Mommy makeover with a full tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo in 2017. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have!
Congratulations! Yes swell hell is the real beast! I thought it would never go away and was convinced the bloated look was just my results. But alas, one day it decided to get lost and I felt a ton better. You look awesome!
Thanks!! Swelling has gone down a ton!!

This is a comparison of day 1 selling vs. Today. I meant to include it and forgot. I can't wait to see the final product. I'm so excited to rock a 2 piece for surfing this year!! Love my surgeon. He really paid attention to detail with my scar. So far it looks great.
