5 months postpartum AFTER my lipo I had done in Dec 2012, this is me May 2014

WORTH IT$6,500
I had lipo done in Dec 2012 and then got pregnant Feb 2013, had my baby Dec 2013. I am currently 5 months postpartum, and I must say my lipo results are still awesome. I am still working towards my weight goal, but the results stayed. So for people wondering if results will stay during and after pregnancy I hope my post helps :)
Also I should mention I also work out 3-5 times a week.

Thanks for your post. I am glad you have kept your good results.
that is incredible!! I just got Lipo of adomen and iliacs and my biggest concern was what pregnancy two years down the road would do to the results. Any comments/advice would be appreciated.

So today I am 10 days post lipo and I am so...

So today I am 10 days post lipo and I am so excited and happy with my results. There are lumps and swelling still and I am not even close to the end results but I am still very impressed. I was discouraged on the 5th day because the swelling was so severe. My pain level is close to nothing, but the garment is very annoying. I am posting pictures often because one thing I wanted to see was if there was actually any difference, because spending all that money you want something to work. So I hope my pictures give people an insight on their decisions in getting lipo, and realize it does help you regain your pre-pregnancy shape, and regain your confidence :)

Your looking great! I am day 2 of post op and in lots of pain! My dr procribed me vicodine and its giving me a bad head ache so I'm going to start taking ibuprofen 800 instead! Happy healing
Days 2-5 were the worst for me but the pain goes away very quickly. You look great btw, I took Tylenol 3's they were prescribed but you can get Tylenol 1's over the counter if ibuprofen doesn't work. My only advice with any pain meds is take stool softener/laxitive I didn't poop for almost 9 days that was the worst. Happy healing as well:)
I think your results so far are outstanding. You might not need your thighs done after all the swelling goes down and you feel so good about your look :) I'm getting inner/outer thighs, knees, hips, back roll, and under the boobs done 1/15. I cant wait.
You look awesome! What a shape change! I think your skin actually looks great, I've seen a lot worse results 10 days after. you're belly button still looks very sleek. I hope my results are as good as yours!
Looks great! I just had a tummy tuck and lipo to my flanks and inner thighs on June 5 with Dr. bendor-Samuel. He is amazing and I am so happy with my results too!
Where did u purchase ur compression garments from?
I got to garment from my surgeons office, it was included in the price of the procedure.

Day of treatment

I am a weeks post operation, and physically I am feeling A LOT better then the first day but the pain wasn't overly bad to begin with. I feel I am a bit discouraged on my results, however, I keep being told to be patient. Fingers crossed everyone is right. My compression garment is the biggest annoyance now, it is so itchy, its loosened up a lot, and is just horrible to sleep in, hopefully when I see my doctor 3 Jan I will be able to take it off.
