Loving my results, new decision I’ve ever made with a phenomenal doctor.
PO Day 13
Ice ice ice and stay off your feet for long periods of time! It's good to walk around so you don't get stiff, but extended periods of time will cause swelling in all the wrong places! Haha.
Day 12 PO
I've been back to work for about 4 days now and I wish I would have been able to take two weeks off instead of just one! My job requires me to be on my feet a lot and with the amount of swelling going on it's uncomfortable to say the least. I heard that swelling and hardening in your pubic region is normal, but it completely sucks. It's uncomfortable and the swelling can hurt after awhile. I've read that it take 2-3 weeks to go down so I'm really counting the days at this point.
To back track a little bit, on my 3rd day PO I noticed a fluid pocket on my lower back. When I touched it, I could move the fluid up and down. I googled this and it's called a Seroma and it happens. It's a possible complication of lipo, but not the worst thing in the world. Mostly it just gave me some lower back pain. On my 1 week follow up, the seroma was drained in office by Dr. Shifrin's new partner (Dr.Roske?). He was wonderful! He drained 160cc of fluid. Unfortunately the seroma came back and it'll need to be drained again this upcoming Friday during my 3rd appt f/u.
Other than that all is well. I've noticed more hard spots developing and i've started slightly massaging them while trying to stay off my feet as much as I can. If you can I definitely recommend taking two weeks off work! It'll help with the swelling.

Phenomenal surgeon! Very busy guy, but he knows what he's doing so that's not a surprise. And his staff are wonderful! Very happy that I chose him!
