Not sure lol. I just told Him to fix me! Haha I didn't know much about the procedure other than he came highly recommended by many medical colleagues and he was probably the most expensive but hoping worth it. Lipo of thighs was a last minute add on. Originally just tummy tuck and flank lipo.

Your tt and lipo look awesome!!! I am planning on having both done in the summer of 2016. How are you doing as far as pain and mobility go? I was also contemplating doing the Brazilian Butt lift but unsure if I can manage without being able to sleep on my back either. I will also have my breast implants changed out to a bigger size.

I didn't do the pain pump and I was fine. First 3-4 days were the worst. I'm 13 days post today and feel fine. But, take my binder off and I hunch right over and feel Tons of pressure. Wonder why and when that will go away. Still swollen and super tight and can't do much without binder on. But being careful. It to lift and rest when I can. I find if I am up for an hour just picking up around the house, I totally Kay down and fall asleep for a few hours. Just is so draining which is weird but body is healing I guess. Here are pics from today.

I think the binder keeps everything stabilized and sucked it...therefore feeling together...once that binder is off everything just settles down. Is the pressure at the incision site or in general? I just saw your pics and it looks amazing!!! I so cannot wait to go through with it. I am so tired of having that doughie skin and I totally hate my thighs too!!! I will keeping tabs on your posts to see how everything is coming along. Kuddos to you!!! And speedy healing thoughts for you.

It is weird but my incision doesn't hurt one bit. It is a little gender at the tube insertion site but other than that, no pain their. The best way to explain is when I have my binders off, I fee like I am having contractions because my muscles are so tight. And I feel like I can't take a deep breathe. Finally slept in bed last night. It went okay but kept trying to lay on my side. Kind of did with tons of pillows but recliner is better. My butt is just getting sore. Pain is only when I get up and down out of the chair. Other than that, no pain. Good luck. No will keep posting. Stitches all come out Wednesday and the last tube thank god.

I'm sure you feel better now that tubes are all gone. Sleeping is what I know will be an issue...I'm a belly sleeper and had a heck of a time when I went thru ba surgery..not with pain..ut just being able to sleep. I was considering in doing fat transplant to butt...but think that would just over the top. Hope each day that passes you feel better and better

Hi-i am about 2weeks ahead of you. We have similar before and after shapes...be patient because things really do get better. I have some swelling but nothing too unusual. I think it takes weeks for all of the swelling to go down and for the firmness to go away. I can't wait to be flat either! You will feel so much better when those drains come out! Happy healing!

Good to hear. My drain comes out tomorrow. I am impatient and just want to wear normal clothes again and see the final results. Then I get nervous that I won't go flatter. Lol do you have pics?

Update on Tummy Tuck done 9/29/15
I am post op 12 days now. I am doing great. Haven't needed pain meds for about 4-5 days now. I do take Vistiril to help me sleep at night because I can't get comfortable. I am a tummy sleeper usually. Anyway, I am still really puffy. My legs look like I didn't have lipo on thighs. Although I didnt get puffy feet like they said I would but I am peeing up a storm. Hoping that changes and my thighs become nice and tight. PS says it sure will. He told me to be patient. I wear my binder and black compression suit all day. Take off to shower and I want it back on immediately. Feel uncomfortable with it off. When does the stomach go skinny and flat. I am 5ft3" and was 133 lbs going into surgery.
Go in Wednesday to have second drain removed. My biggest complaint is my back aching from laying down so much and sleeping in recliner. Back is so sore and I just want to twist and crack it.
I dont know how people are wearing jeans at this stage. I am in sweat pants and feel like I wouldn't want to even try because I would cry. I feel fatter than before I went in even though I know its swelling. My stomach is super hard, feels so weird.

You have great results so far. I am 12 days today and also wondering when I will see more results with the thigh lipo. It is tough to wait but also exciting to look forward to the changes that will take place once the areas heal more. Can I ask how many cc's you had off the thighs? Our shape is similar, my doctor took 850cc's off thighs, outer and inner as well as 450 off the flanks.

I never asked him. I see him Wednesday to remove last drain so I will ask. He was hesitant to dinner as he said I didn't have much fat there but I had the ripple look. He did a little bit there he said. Not much for bruising though. Just outer has bruises. I will post those pics now.
Time to lay low some
More. Will post pics tomorrow.
