Attached is a pic of my post touch up lipo. I have a dent from the garment I think but other than that, it's coming along nicely.
I have a massive lump in my leg where some as put back in as I had a dent and it's hard as anything but I'm having more anti biotics and massaging it every day - so hopefully it will go soon.

September 1, 2016
Thanks. So far so good
September 4, 2016
WOW looks great! I have uploaded a few of my 8 week check up pics from dr Kim also, you are looking amazing already
September 4, 2016
Thanks. It's two weeks tomorrow since my touch up. Feeling pretty good
September 9, 2016
Looking great did it cost you anything for the revision/touch up? I agree it's a lot of money and you have to be happy with the results to make it worth it x
September 9, 2016
No nothing for the revision. He's a true professional
September 10, 2016
Thanks so much for your reply, did he say how long you had to wait for a revision? I'm 6 months post with lipo and fat transfer with a doc in Melb, I feel more should have been taken from my hips but yeah currently as interstate it's trying to work out availability but been chasing a follow up appointment for 3 months now!
September 10, 2016
You look fantastic btw and hopefully the revision gets your tummy to where you are happy with it
September 11, 2016
I waited a year. But that was because I was busy from March to August otherwise I would have gone in March. I would say at least 6 months after the op to get final results first
September 11, 2016
Yeah I hope it settles down! It's a bit bumpy at the moment

Hey Hun
I posted on your pics a year ago, you look great. So you had a touch up? You look better than most people my age! I went to cosmos clinic too and got my surgery done, so happy I went with them

Are you still using your garment? If so place a marble/little ball in your belly botton... my doctor told me to do so and it worked wonders!

Day 4 post touch up

andrea_brisbane
I'm feeling good. There's a little line on my tummy which I presume is from the garment, but apart from that, it's looking great. No real pain to be honest, just feels like i've done a heap of sit ups. I have a check up Monday - prob to remove stitches which I could no doubt do myself. Looking forward to final results!

Thank you for your review. Your results look great- but I agree- working at the gym really helps tighten everything up! My apologies if you already answered this, but did the unevenness of your stomach resolve itself? This is my biggest worry about getting it done too!

I have just had the touch up so I am still in early days - but it looks good so far!

Touch up day

andrea_brisbane
So today was my touch up. I was very nervous because of feeling so sick afterwards last time... however, the Doc kindly kept the fentanyl away from me and I was given pethedene and gas instead. I always hate the cannulation, and it took 4 goes because of my terrible veins, but we got there in the end. It was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be so I'm pleased about that. And going into recovery I felt fine - no nausea or anything. I had a few biscuits and cheese and was looked after by the nurses nicely and then sent on my way. Entire thing was about 3.5 hours from woe to go.
Really impressed - he took another 500ml of fat out of my stomach and put some back into my thighs where there was a bit of a dent. Fingers crossed it will all look fantastic.
See pics attached!

Yay how exciting for you. Now the recovery and waiting for the swelling to go down!
August 22, 2016
Absolutely. Tried to have a shower last night, undid my garment (but didn't take off) and passed out. Whoops! Good thing my partner was with me lol
August 23, 2016
Wow is that to do with your blood pressure?
August 23, 2016
Yeah I'd say so
August 22, 2016
I hope you're feeling good today Andrea, I've been following your updates for a long time. I'm considering having Vaser at cosmos also so I'll be checking your updates regularly.
August 22, 2016
I'm feeling ok today - just like i've done heaps of sit ups - I think it went a lot better than I had hoped for - I was dreading it.
The thing I like about Cosmos is that they don't keep you waiting - you don't have time to let those nerves sink in - you get there and you are whisked in - which I think is great.
I didn't have any leakage on the bed which I was pleased about (Sheridan white sheets) - I put the bluey's down that they gave me at the clinic, and that was enough. I am still in bed at the moment but have been up a couple of times. I'm slow but not too bad. Will post pics when swelling has gone down.
I do highly recommend the Cosmos Clinic if you want to get it done!

Thank you so much for replying. I only accumulate fat around my mid section. My belly has been a trouble area for me since I was 14. You're giving me courage. I train 6x a week and used to train 2x a day my belly was kind of flat but I could hardly eat anything. Every time I put a kilo on it goes straight to my belly, I wanna give myself a break and wear a dress without feeling uncomfortable. I hope you have fantastic results with your touch up, I'll take the time to read all your posts later, I have many questions I'm sure you talked about.. Take it easy and keep us posted:)
August 23, 2016
Great!! all over, you will look fab!! interesting he put more fat in thighs, was it quite evident the dent? All the best in your recovery :-)
August 23, 2016
Thanks. It looks great already! Had a sneaky look today!
The dent was evident when I sat yes
January 12, 2017
You are looking great! Keep up the good work!
