33yr W/ Thyroid Disease Liposuction of Hips Abdomen Flanks Bra Line - Cherry Hill, NJ

Here is my 2.5 month photo, Im still itching like crazy. I swell back and forth depending on the heat and humidity outside. Its weird, one day I feel super great, next I feel swollen in certain areas lol. The itching means my nerves, & body are still trying to heal. Im very happy with the results, I know I have a super short torso so my waist will never be truly defined. If he thinks he can do something, Im ready for a small round 2 on my waist. Ive never had defined figure no matter how hard I try. I started training harder now since I feel more confident. Ive tried everything for years, and had a super strict diet/workout regimen but Im thankful for the DR giving me my confidence back. Things I would consider If I did it all over.

----Reconsider my bra line lipo. Why? The scars, wearing a bikini top is out! backless or open back style top, out! Any form of bathing suit besides high back, out! My back fat wasnt terrible but I was like hey.... Im going under right? might as well get that taken care of too! Hoping the scaring will fade in time but who wants to wait years? lol My scars dont heal so well ever.

-Asking where incisions will be? I did ask but he was like in this area, that area etc. You should ask him to mark you prior so you know. I would have asked him to lower my pelvic incisions and lower back ones, because none of my underwear or bikini can hide it. My shorts dont even hide my back ones, if my shirt lifts slightly you can see them. I was asked a few times what it was or how did I get that. Again, my scars dont heal so well they will be like this for years until they fade to white. Something to consider.

I havent had the nerve to wear a bikini, outside of my yard lol. Im hoping with the pickup in my worksouts I will be brave enough to soon lol. I cant stress enough how important it is to eat healthy, and fresh, drink water and fresh juice. I think I healed so fast with almost no bruising. If you arent such a healthy eater, I would start a month or so before surgery and have your body super healthy for healing. Im grateful my disease didnt effect the surgery, healing, or effect my thyroid/hormone levels what so ever. Feel free to ask any questions.

It has been 2 months since my last update sorry its the busiest time of year for work. All my lumps, bruising & hardness are gone. I am relieved, that was a concern of mine. I started working out again about 6 weeks, I felt I could. Still feels a bit weird to run, or high impact. My shape is improving, and I still have some swelling. I still itch like crazy as the nerves and trying to mend and heal still. I take a hair brush to bed with me lol!!! Im starting to love the results, I think everything was worth it. Im really impressed and didnt think I would have this much improvement. I didnt go in with high expectations, but im happy. Id love to go in for round 2 ahahahhaahha maybe I can get the waist Ive always wanted!! My clothes fit so much better and my confidence has boosted. Im getting a lot of compliments

It has been a bit since my last post, this is our busy season! You would figure I would pick a better time to recover but I did not want to go through in the summertime wearing a girdle and and being miserable so I though last month was perfect timing. My skin and belly is getting softer those lumps and bumps are smoothing out. My swelling is a big less but overall my shaped improved sooo much. People are noticing and asking what I'm doing. I told them I'm wearing a girdle lol since they already know I eat we'll and exercise lol. I have a new found confidence that I know I've lost. Just feeling better about myself is worth every penny. Even though it shouldn't come from getting a surgery I do feel like a million bucks and that is priceless. I'm still seeing how some of these lumps turn out... Ill post a closer photo of it. ;)
