Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

getting there
ok these are a few pics that i have taken over the past couple weeks. I am now 3 months post op and i still haven't completely healed yet. what i mean by that is that my skin is still a little bruised from lipo and its a little hard on the sides. but its way better than day one. The itching was unbearable at one time and now i can tolerate it a little. its more like a burning feeling along with the itching. i have to get something for the stretch marks that i have created from scratching. i am now in a small waist trainer but it make me itch so bad just because my nerves aren't completely healed yet, so the compression from the waist trainer aggravates my nerves i guess and i start itching and burning which i also hear is very normal. but who knows. as the days go on things get better than the week before. I am still swollen which i knew would happen because i hate the itching that i get with the compression so i don't wear it 24/7 like i was directed to do. sorry if this seems like its all over the place but i wanted to do a quick update before i head to work. :)
