recovery and lipo

The doctor did a great job with the liposuction, he took away just the right amount. I would deferentially recommend him for liposuction jobs. I have had an easy recovery so far, the only problem I had was for the first two day I had extreme nausea when moving around.The bruising is minimal and the incisions are very small and are in hidden places. The compression garments helps a lot with the bruising. The only problem I have is that I have NO butt which was my purpose.

Pain and management

makeme1234
The pain I fell is not that bad, it hurts but nowhere near the way I thought is would fell. I can go to the restroom by myself but do need help getting in bed, I can get out of bed by myself. Bruising is not as bad as I have seen others. The doctor's staff has already called to check up on me. I am drinking lots of water and peeing a lot. Since I am taking lots of medicine I made a chart to help me keep track of it all, over all not bad in the first days.

wanted 1500 per cheek ONLY a little over 550 cc !!!!

I wanted 1500 cc of fat per cheek, the doctor said he thinks that he could get 1200 per cheek, but I only got a little over 550 cc in each cheek which is very disappointing. The doctor said that he was only able to get a little of 1100 cc of fat which I don't understand because I was almost 200 pounds and even though I am 5'11 that was still 30 pounds over my ideal and healthy weight, I guess that it would be more believable if some of the fat was accidentally dropped (which is understandable because we all make mistakes) or something else happened to it, but only 1100 cc of fat is a little hard to believe cause of my pre op weight and the amount of abdominal fat I had, I have seen many women with a lot less fat get more cc's. I didn't get any injecting in my hips or thighs because I was already happy with those. I am swollen and do NOT like my projection, when the swelling goes down and same fat is reabsorbed I think my butt will look exactly the same. I don't think it was worth the money, time and pain. With only a little over 550 cc I don't think a will a drastic change like I wanted, or any change at all. I am not happy with butt I got
