Hoping to get some good Healing advice and tips. Having an augmentation and Tummy tuck procedure with Lipo. I would also like to know some tips on how to reduce cellulite and what may or may not work. Have not had much time for myself until now. Kids are older and I find myself unhappy with the neglect I did to myself. I am starting to travel more and want to look and feel good about myself.

Congrats on your decision! I'm scheduled for December. I'm currently working on trying to lose 30 lbs and like you, I hope to find something that works for cellulite. My thighs are hideous. I've read that cutting out fatty, fries foods, doing cardio and lots of water helps with minimizing the look of cellulite. Good luck, I hope you will post before and after pictures!

Losing body fat overall can help reduce the appearance of cellulite to a point, but we are genetically predisposed to having it to whatever degree we have it, and mostly there is no way to actually get rid of it. It just becomes less obvious the more weight we lose and the more toned our muscles are.

Congratulation on your oncoming procedure..... Healing process, just fallow your PS post instruction 100% and your healing will smooth and easy as for my own experienced. I'm now going to 5 weeks and never encounter any problems on my recovery period. What I felt is everyday progress and my body look wonderful. I had same as your on coming procedure. Patience is the key for successful healing.......and stay positive... Good luck.

Well I am now 8 days post op and starting to get around and sleep better. Still quite swollen which is to be expected. Feeling pretty good about the results so far.

How are you doing now? would love to see an update pic, I know I was very happy with Dr. Lockwood. I took Arnica tablets weeks leading to surgery and continued after, I had very very little swelling if any actually. would like to see how everything settled down for you:)

How has the healing gone? Do you recommend Dr Lockwood? I'm wanting to get a breast reduction as well as tummy tuck and some lipo.
