WORTH IT
So far so good, much more painful than expected. 2300cc taken out. Here are some before and after. I am now 11 days post, still swelling up and very sore mostly at night but getting better. As of right now I am happy, hoping end results will be better. Trying to be patient I realize it tKes months before you get to see your final results so I don't take a lot of pictures.

Lymphatic massage

Had my first lymphatic massage today, it was great. Started off very painful by the time the half hour was over everything felt loose and pain free. I schedule 5 more, I highly recommend them. I also went down a size on my spanks which was a great feeling. I still weigh the same and my measurements haven't changed which I can't understand

How are your comparison pictures looking your 2 days post pics look great you can already see fantastic results. Just remember that you will still have swelling so don't worry about the scale at this stage just go by the clothes loosening up

What exactly is lymphatic massage?
May 29, 2016
It is massage that focuses on the area of LIPO that are swollen it is supposed to help with the drainage of the fluid so you heal faster. It hurt like hell in the beginning but it quickly felt good and I felt great by the time I left albeit short lived. I have another one Tuesday

Congratulations on your procedure. You look great but I have a question for you. Is a deep tissue massage the same as a lymphatic massage? I got a massage one week post op and I couldn't take the pain. I think my massage was a deep tissue and it hurt like heck. And she put a machine on my belly to get deep down and I was in tears...

Feeling a little discouraged today only because I thought by now I would be pain free and not as swollen but I know it takes time and I have to be patient. Here are a couple pictures I just took. I am very puffy especially in my back, I have been up and down ladders all day and I'm hurting tonight.

So what did you get done lipo for the abdominal area only?
May 29, 2016
I had lipo done in 12 areas. It took me about 3 months to feel normal again. Recently I had a mommy makeover. & to be honest to me the lipo recovery was far worst then the tummy tuck & breast lift. Good luck & happy recovery.

Thanks it's good to hear that so at least I know what to expect. How long did you wear your garments
May 29, 2016
For about 3 months all day everyday. That's what my P.S recommended..but I had very aggressive lipo bc it was used for a buttlift.. I never did ask how many cc's. I had a consult with dr.schreiber (nice dr & highly recommended by a co worker) but I ended up going to miami. Bc I felt like drs. In CT are more conservative. (Plus it was cheaper). But know after seeing what a great job he did on you, I might go back to him for more lipo on other areas. Thanks for sharing.

You are looking good. How much did your procedures cost?
May 31, 2016
As I commented to another girl I can't give a fair price because he gave me a huge discount because I've had other surgeries by him in the past. So I am not sure what he normally charges

I think you look fantastic for only 16 days post we are our harshest critics

How are you feeling? Are you happy with your results?
June 7, 2016
I'm feeling pretty good, back to doing everything, it will be 4 weeks on thur. I am so happy I have been on this site because this is were I learned of the lymphatic massage. I have had 4 and let me tell you it is like night and day as far as swelling and pain . I still swell up by the evening and morning is when I look the best. I see my de next week and I can't wait I have so many questions. My abdomen I massage on my own and although soft it looks lumpy I hope it will not stay this way. I am going to have my husband take more pictures this week and I am happy with the results so far although not smooth no more muffin top

I'm glad your doing well and continue with your recovery. You probably have to wait more time for the swelling and lumpiness to subside. I've heard light exercise and massages help too.
