How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Post op Day 16
Post op day 16
Merry Xmas everyone !
I'm having a quiet Xmas. Staying home, cooking to let my body heals faster.
I'm recovering pretty well.
Been to the gym twice. Using elliptical for 45mins and did upper body strength training. Nothing strenuous yet.
Swelling is down a bit more but still long way to go. Bruising almost gone. It's fascinating to see how my body heals and changes day by day. Will update more in a week.

Post op day 11
Sorry for being away for so long. Week has been crazy when I got back to work. I was back at post op day 5. Not too bad since I have a pretty desk bound job. But if you are constantly on the move, I recommend you to take 2 weeks off on the safe side.
My recovery has been pretty well.
Bruising and swelling has gone down.
Today is post op day 11. My thighs went from elephant size :p to almost back to before op size, but with better shape. My saddle bags are gone and my butt is definitely smaller and more proportional to my waist.
I'm still swollen and I know this isn't the final result, so im really excited to see what's underneath the swelling mess.
Went to the doc yesterday to take out the stitches, wounds are healing well too.
He said I was still swollen but he liked my result. I could see his satisfying grin. He took a little bit fat from my bottom butt to give it a lift! And it works. He even said when the swelling goes down and the skin contract it will lift even more. I'm like (woohoo)! I asked him about my inner thigh, cos I didn't see a lot improve by there. He said he took out a lot and told me not to worry about it. Usually inner thighs are the last places to see results. Well, finger crossed.
I did a 2 MLD massage twice. It helps to ease the pain and reduce the swelling I think. But it's not that kind that will put you to sleep. It hurts when she touched my knees and inner thighs but hey whatever works I'll do it. Besides, I have pretty high pain tolerance. Even the nurses from the clinic were surprised at how well I was coping. No screaming while putting on compression garment and changing dressing XD
Anyway I'll update more when I have any improvement. I'm already thinking of what skinny jeans and knee high boots I'm gonna buy for the coming Chinese New Year ;)
