Thank you! They are still swelling but I'm hoping by 1 year post op I will be swell free and see what my legs will really be like! :-)

What a difference. I am 4 weeks post op having had smart lipo on my calves and ankles. Swelling is starting to improve now although I thought it never would. I am still pretty hard. Had 2 massages last week and bathing daily in epsom salts and massaging daily. As you know it is a long healing process I am only now seeing some light at end of tunnel. I hope my results are like yours - they are fab.

Wow. Your pics are awesome. Seeing your story makes me nervous. I get my calves and thighs via vaser lipo on December 1st. I work and when I hear you say you couldn't walk well for a while that makes me nervous. I'm only taking a week off and they don't know I'm getting this done. Any tips??

First off, thank you!! I had regular lipo done so it might be different for you. Is your doctor going to leave the holes open? If so I recommend that. My PS only left two open which then caused me to swell somuch. Let the fluid drain lol. Make sure you get arnica pills and cream helps with swelling and bruising! And get vitamin c 500 and take three a day. It helps you heal quicker! Oh and use your compression garments they will help. If you need anything else let me know!

I asked and she said they suture the wounds. I'm going to request them to be open on my calves at least! I ordered arnica pills and cream. I didn't know about vitamin c. I heard Bromelin is also good to take. Patience is not my strong suit. I will let you know how it goes! Thanks

May I ask how painful was the knee surgery. I hear it's the most sensitive&painful area. I had arms but need abs&knees. Do you like the results? Thank You.

Yes I do like my results. I just need to continue working out to get to where I want to be. The knees were easy for me, yes they were and still are tender but the lipo on my ankles and calves hurt so much and the pain was killer. I think you'll be fine with the knees. Oh and I had only my inner knees done. I hope that helps!! Thank you!!

Okay I know its been a while since I updated. Well I'm 3 1/2 months post op, I'm satisfied with my results. I have lost over 35lbs since I had my baby and since my tummy tuck and lipo surgery.

I weigh 135lbs and steady at that. I was hoping to get down to 125lbs but I don't think that will happen. Lol

Well my calves and ankles are still numb in some areas. I think I see a difference in the shape of them.

If you have any questions just ask and I hope you are healing beautifully!

hi, am 3 month post Op - Calf and ankle Lipo. I just stopped wearing my stockings and overall I feel OK and am sort of happy wih my results, except for the occasional tingling sensation. My questions are: when did you start wearing heels? Am 5'3 tall and about 167lbs, i wonder if I lose about 35 pounds will my legs get even smaller (if you'd know?) Thanks

I was able to wear heels a few months after because I would swell by end of day. And yes you will look smaller when you lose the extra weight :-)
