Going For A Revision on February 12, 2016
WORTH IT$5,100
My results are good but not as hoped for. I'm still in a shaper due to fat rolls remaining. I was hoping to be able to come out of a body shaper once recovered by it didn't play out like that for me. Hopefully the next cut will do the trick. It's costing my $2500 because he have to take the skin off of the back up to the braline. Wish me success!!

Bless your heart gf. You are working hard for the body. Great results. Hang in there and keep up the good work. I just found this doc this evening and thinking he might be for me. Thanks for sharing your journey. Once I have chosen my doc I will share too. Good luck and prayers your way!

5 weeks Post Op/Fleur De Lis TT no lipo
Things are going slower than I thought but good nevertheless. Swelling continues to be an issue but I'm hoping to find the perfect compression garment for my thighs. I get a bit discouraged when I cannot fit my jeans but relieved that the scale remains pretty much the same. I still see some flab on my belly which I'm guessing I will have to go back and have removed. I sometimes find myself comparing my results to others on here who had their surgery around the same time but then I remind myself everyone is different and I started with a huge amount of skin. Dr. Cochran didn't do lipo on me because I was all skin, no fat. I think he's an amazing PS so I trust he did his best on me.

Your looking good
I am 3 months post op and the swelling is just easing off. Your still very early days yet.
All good things are worth waiting for. I am sure you will be very happy with the end results.
Still take care don't be in to much of a rush, friend of mine was 7 months post op before she could cough with out pain.

Severe Swelling in Thighs and Significant Swelling to legs and feet
The surgeon office suggests I get a compression garment that extends down to above the knee. Any recommendations?

Spanxs makes a good compression garment that comes below your breasts and down to the knee
Fajate they have them on ebay

Yes go for a lymphic drain massage very gentle I have had 4 now what a difference they make" helps the lymphic get going again sooner.
Where did you get your lymphatic drainage message done
GC
Just at a massage place that are train to do them that is very important. They kind of like pump your glands and massage very gentle. Type in lymphic drainage massage near you but ring all massage places near you and ask.
Hope this help you can watch it on you tube

You look so good! !! :) I had mine done 10 days ago with Cochran and am also so happy with my results. I have a question. Did they tell you anything special to do for the belly button? Mine looks weird like there is dried up blood or something. I didn't know what to do and is a little red around. I'm hoping it's not a sign of infection starting
GC
Mine was like that I just left it alone and the dryed crust just dropped off. Only bother if it goes green yellow ish that's a sign of infection. Don't put anything on it no soap ect clean water only . Don't sit in bath that can cause infection.
Hope this helps
Hope this helps
Ok. Thank you. Yes that helps
Google Faja. This is what Domincan docs make all of their patients wear. Fajas are awesome!
