Getting Excited for Slim Lipo

I'm dealing with some tenderness in both lower and upper abdominals. Feels good to massage the areas with a circular motion. I have not been able to go back for lymphatic massage because the masseuse has been booked up. There are still areas of firmness where the remaining fat is trying to redistribute.

Something else to note: my period was a few days late due to the procedures. I'm relieved that it was only a few days, because I've read that it can take anywhere from 1 to 3 months for the menstrual cycle to normalize.

Lipo foam has been so helpful for cushion and support under the compression garment. I'm getting ready to switch to a more rigid faja since my newest incisions seem to be closed.

This procedure took place two weeks after the first on 4/10/19 (lower abs). The doctor thought it would be safer to split the Slim lipo into two procedures because of the amount of fat removed. The second one was for upper abs. I was more sore the second time around, but I think the results were immediately more noticeable. I have before pictures in my first review. I also had less fluid loss this second surgery.  I went for my first lymphatic massage 4/27/19. She's wonderful. She told me that I could've started the massages as soon as I felt ready (less pain, etc.) She worked primarily on my lower abs, which have several hard spots in them. After she was done, I could literally touch and feel how she was able to break up the spots, making the area much more pliable. There was however one stubborn area in my lower left abdominal area. She strongly believes in kinesiology tape's ability to speed healing, and wondered why I hadn't been told about it. She also suggested I incorporate dry brushing to help speed healing.  I've been using arnica to help with bruising (T-Relief gel) but I'm still dealing with much swelling. I've also been using Lymph stim to deal with brushing and swelling. I'm going to start taking turmeric regularly again since I'm now done with surgery.

Already noticing a difference in the before and after photos. I posted a more lengthy follow up review separately. I'm still very swollen. I wanted to get photos of fat removed both times but was too groggy the first time. Total, it was about 3000 cc.
