A few hours post laser liposuction

Swelling has gone down now and bruising to inner thighs has subsided! Absolutely loving my new shape. It still feels weird when I hav my compression garment off. Skin is very dry and peeling, I’m assuming this is from the heat from the laser! Still numb to touch in treated areas. Area around my belly button is the mot sensitive and a bit sore to touch. Incisions healing really well! Loving my new shape however still early days and still hoping for more result in the thigh area.

Can’t believe I’m 2 weeks post op today! I was told not to expect to see my results for at least 6 weeks but I have already noticed a significant change in the shape of my body. I’m still pretty swollen, and numb in the areas treated. I’ve had a reaction to the adhesive from one of the band aids on my stomach. So far I’m not noticing any unevenness or any bumps or anything. Incisions are healing really well, I started using dermascar on them yesterday. Skin is still also really dry in areas treated. I go back to work on Sunday after 2 weeks off. I feel back to normal and I have for many days now except when I take my garment off to wash it I feel really weird and heavy. Still tender to touch but overall I’m pleased with my result so far.

So far recovery for me has been a breeze! Sure, I have been a bit stiff, slow and sore but it’s honestly fine. Today is the first day I can actually walk properly without waddling, every day is getting easier. I can also finally sleep on my stomach and side, it’s a bit sore initially when I get into position but once I’m there and settled it’s comfy! I took my garment off for a shower after 4 days po and to wash my garment, I tried to put some Spanx on but they were just too tight they didn’t have zips so it hurt too much putting them on so I was without my garment for a couple of hours and that’s when all the bruising started to show. The bruising looks worse than it feels. I also noticed the right side of my labia was very enlarged and purple, I was a little concerned so I contacted the nurses but they said it’s all fine, it’s just because the inner thigh area is so close and the bruising has travelled down. It doesn’t hurt at all though. I am due to have my stitches out tomorrow, I must say my stomach is super itchy and dry, which is a sign the incisions are healing, so happy days. I’ve included my before photo alongside a photo I took this morning wearing my garment, I still feel it’s way too early to see results given I am still so swollen but I do feel I can see a slight change in my contour already and my stomach is definitely flatter.
