Well I have been feeling really good. I have been wearing my garment night and day and only taking it off to get washed and wash the garment itself. My results are amazing and I will post pics very soon. Everything that Dr Huges told me he achieved. My results are smooth and everyday I see my old figure more and more. I high recommend him, he is so skilled and truly is the best at his craft.

everything looking good.

So today I went in and the nurse checked me for fliud and said I looked really good and that I did not have any but I was still swollen a bit so I have to wear my surgery garment for another week with the foam then I can wear other garment for 2 months. I asked why my surgery was super painful this time and she said I had a lot of scar tissue. So 2nd lipo is much more painful then first. She also told me over 5000cc/ 6000cc was sucked out, no wonder my tummy is so flat.

Any pictures
I had a small liposuction on my abdominal area years ago, it was a terrible job. I had tunnel looking areas going up from the belly button area. I have decided to have smartlipo done the 4th of January. I hope for better results but without the pain you are experiencing. The first time I had zero pain at any point. It might have been the very little work he did since I also had zero drainage. Thanks for sharing your experience so I know this time may be so much different
Please post pictures soon! Glad you are happy with the results.
I will post pics, I have flying back and forth from West to East coast so I promise to post pics very soon.
I had my first Lipo in 1997 and my second one on November 6th. OMG I did not remember it being so painful. When I read your post about scar tissue it all made sense! I didn't get drains at all and I wish I had because my swelling was bad too. I went back to work after 6 days and that was stupid of me. Lay low and relax so you can heal. So here I am post op 5 weeks and I still have twinges of pain and a little swelling. Change out your garments and that's helpful. Khol's sells some that good to sleep in.

2nd night

Ok so I'm so excited I got washed today and even though my body is still very swollen and I'm a tiny bit uneven from the swelling I cannot believe how tiny my waist is. Even when I was 15 lbs lighter I never had such a tiny waist. With lipo it really is how good the dr is with the cannula. I also pretty much am shaped like I always dreamed . I'm still in a ton of pain and I need my bf to help me get up and down but at least the draining stopped so I'm not going thru tons of chuck pads. I didn't even get a bbl but I'm so sculpted I look like I have a booty now.
