21 Years Old - Tumescent Lipo on upper and lower stomach and flanks! - Edmonton, AB

I have not been on here in a while I apologize! I am still loving my results, my stomach is still flat! I can wear tight shirts/dresses and not stress about anything hanging over, or looking like I am 3 months prego, I recently went to Costa Rica and felt so much better about myself walking around in my bikini!! but what I do notice is.. it is true that fat starts to build up in other areas of your body. My "love handles" have got bigger and my thighs and I even notice my arms are a little bigger not much though. I also notice now I have cellulite which I never ever had before... no one in my family has it either. So I don't no if that even has anything to do with this but maybe since fat is going to my thighs now it is creating those fat pockets to create cellulite? But anyways I have cleaned up my eating a ton the last few weeks, drinking lots of water and working out more so hoping it will help! My main concern was my stomach anyways, I was so insecure about it, and it is still looking great today!! No matter how much I ate good and worked out it just stayed the same and had those rolls and bulge but now I don't have that and even though fat is going into other parts of my body that is my fault as I was not working out as much or eating as great maybe because no matter what my stomach looked great! lol but I am going to work out and eat right and I am sure the fat that has come I can get rid of unlike the stomach fat I had!! When i worked out before i had no problem slimming down my lovehandles and arms and thighs. My scars are still red though, noticeable when I wear a bikini and it drops a little it is two dark red spots. Have been debating on just getting tattoos there! LOL hide it all together. The incision in my belly button healed great - no problems there at all. Even with gaining some weight in other areas and possibly causing cellulite I still am SO happy I did this. It still was worth it 100% to me I just need to get off my lazy bum and workout to get toned in the other areas!! which is what I have been doing! I am at work right now posting this, I have attached one picture I just took but I will have to take some more up to date pictures once I am at home. I apologize again for taking so long to update!

I am doing great, stomach is starting to soften up a lot, there still is some slightly tender spots but barely even notice them. My scars are healing nicely also! I took off my garment about a week and a half ago, do not have to wear it at all anymore and I can wear whatever shirts I want now and not have to worry about rolls! :)

I will have to post some pictures soon!

Sorry for not posting for a little while, today is my two weeks post op and I am still loving my results more and more every day! Last Thursday (1 week post op) I went in to see Dr.Sapijaszko for my follow up and he said everything looks good but I had some pockets a bit above my hip bone on each side and it was full of fluid (tumescent fluid that never drained) he was poking them and could feel it so he drained it on both sides (by putting a needle in, numbing it and then draining it and it was not painful at all) he told me to come in the next day (Friday) to see how they looked, well I went in Friday and more fluid had come down into the pockets again and so he drained it again and then I came back Monday same thing again and Tuesday and Wednesday and today I was just there this morning and there was some fluid still not a lot (by the way this is not a bad thing that there was fluid left over - it is more likely because my incisions are so low because he wanted them hidden for me because I wear my clothing low and so it was harder for ALL the fluid to go down there to drain initially) Anyways I go back on Monday since he is not in tomorrow just to check again if there is more fluid but I don't think I will need it anymore but we will see ! honestly it is not really noticeable even if there is fluid in the pocket and he said a lot of surgeons just wouldn't drain it but I am so blessed that he cares and wants to see me everyday to make sure all is good and if I need any more draining. He is so unbelievably caring about me and I am so grateful I chose him as my surgeon, he really takes care of you and does anything and everything for your best interest. Every day I see him he is so pleasant and happy to see me and he tells me to book a time the next day with him whenever works best for me... not for him but for ME and I love that! I always get in so quickly once I get there all the nurses know me now since I am there everyday and they have been amazing to deal with also! His office is absolutely great!!

I now wear my garment only in the days and then I take it off when I go to bed. My stomach is now hard which it will get soft again the Dr said - it is very normal for it to go hard and have bumps etc. I am not worried about anything at all, I love the results already and he told me it will only keep on getting better and I know if anything were to not go as planned he would take care of me in a heart beat. I cant express how great it is to have someone who genuinely cares about you and not the money!! it is very hard to find surgeons like that, so glad I chose him to be my surgeon!! :)

I will have to take some more pictures and will post them once I do
