Laser Lipo of Lower Abdominal and 'Love' Handles - Edina, MN

Here are some pics I took 72 hours from the time my procedure completed. The lines you see are from an ace bandage I wrapped under the compression garment. It seems to help with soreness and itching.

Quite a bit of bruising on my back... I am guessing that is because most of the blood pooled there while I slept. I am now at almost 96 hours (4 days) post-op and was able to take a shower and can move in pretty much any direction without any sudden pain (although I am definitely still 'tender').

I am seeing some swelling more on one side than the other, but I think this is just part of the recovery and not a result of fat migration.. :)

I figured out that the cause of my vomiting was the pain-killers my doctor prescribed. I've been able to keep food down today. I was sore and moving slowly this morning, but was able to take my dog on a 2 mile walk this afternoon and can bend over with minimal effort. I'll post more pictures over the weekend.
