Still slightly tender and sm hard spots but think this will likely be the extent of my results. I'm happy. Much smaller than I was. Just need to get in the gym to finish it off.

I'd been fairly small my whole life. Also after...

I'd been fairly small my whole life. Also after the birth of my third child i had a muscle separation in my abdomen 3 days after delivery and I was told that would have to be surgically corrected to pull the muscle back together. I opted not to because I didn't consider it a big deal being the size i was. 107 Lbs was my average weight until after age 32. My waist was a good 25 inches. Then 125 lbs as I began working and lifting weight about 5 days a week to add on SM thickness. In December 2014 had emergency gall bladder surgery and couldn't really get my gym motivation back and found all my weight starting to rest in my stomach and hips and butt. While I've always wanted to be bottom heavy, nobody wants a fat belly. Now was 32 inches in the waist and 134 lbs I decided to do the air sculpt lipo mainly because of the sort recovery time and I was deathly afraid of the tummy tuck scar. Ironically I was opting for a tummy tuck into the day prior to my consult and after a guy friend was looking at some reviews with me and was horrified by the scar that I personally thought was Minimal it made me realize I do not want that reaction. So called Elite in Houston and headed in the following day for my consult. The staff was nice and I ended up having my surgery the next week which happened to be 3 days post a 4hour dental surgery so I could pretty much get all my recovery over with simultaneously.
What I will say is that the incision hole part was almost painless. The numbing part was not fun and the procedure was nothing like a deep tissue massage as I was expecting. I hv a pretty high pain tolerance and it wasn't unbearable but it definitely was not completely comfortable. I was pretty much awake until maybe the least 30 mins or so when I opted for the nitrous like at the dentist office. Once I got that it was smooth sailing. I was in little to no discomfort leaving out. But I wasn't completely awake with the pain meds from the dentist tying in with the pain meds from the lipo.
The next day was exactly as they described it would be. I felt like I has a really good workout in the gym. It wasn't anything I wasn't used to and was tolerable and expected.
My site drainage stopped on day one. And I didn't realize how sore I was to the touch until I took the garment off to shower. It definitely feels better with the compression holding everything from moving around.
After a week I tried sleeping without the garment just to see if my results were just a matter of compression sorcery or real but I quickly realized I'm going to wear this garment until my hard spots and swelling completely subside. I couldn't find comfortable sleeping position without tons of super soft pillows for support all around. And moving and changing positions felt worse than the procedure itself. But as soon as you put the garment back on everything you do is relatively painless. I've even done a couple days of intense cardio with no problems other than excess sweat im guessing from the garment. I do keep my padding on my stomach and sides to avoid the indentions from the zipper on this garment and the boning in my waist trainer which I wear while laundering the compression wear.
I was told due to my skin laxity I wouldn't see much tightening of the skin but it's been having better than we expected.
Also I wasn't able to keep my head phones on as a distraction and no phone calls for me lolol but it was so we could ensure that I didn't put my hands in the way.

Dr Blome is very straight forward. He gave me great expectations and great results so far. I think he was a little surprised to see how well I was coming along.
