40 Years Old Engaged to Be Married 3/20/15 Ready for Lipo Procedure! - Jacksonville, FL

Very exciting!  Are you scheduled for 2014 or 2015?  I'm assuming you meant 2014 but just want to make sure.

I had my liposuction done 2 wks ago, my shape has changed already, the only thing is under my arm have a lump under both,going to see my surgeon today for check up, no doubt this is common, but anyways feeling great, was a bit sore for the 1st wk but all good now,, I'm enjoying the comments of people saying you look good you've lost weight , I'm just looking forward to the next stages of noticing my new shape even more,:) I would highly recommended this to any body who is considering resculpturing your shape

I'll add my opinion in. I too am 40 yrs. old and am 6 weeks today post op from inner/outer thigh lipo, Cc breast aug repair (didn't work) and scar rivision. My thighs are still quite sore. I was very unprepared for the amount of pain. Everyone heals differently and reacts to pain differently. I was very fortunate to have a very supportive partner and I don't think I could have functioned if I had been alone. I needed help standing up for the first several days. Walking was torture. I still have bruising which my Dr. at my last check up was highly unusual. My thighs, in addition to being sore, are still numb and tingling. I am allowed to be aerobic exercising but can't imagine that yet. I am self employed so I had the luxury to taking the time I needed but I can't imagine going through this if I had anything other than a desk job. I may be the extreme example but just wanted to let u know. My Dr kind of explained it to me like it was an easy heal and said she was in the office the next day, that's just simply impossible in my book. I couldn't walk alone much less make it to work! On the flip side...I am beyond thrilled with the results. I am wearing yoga pants out and about and would never have done that pre lipo, I feel liberated from hiding my thighs. I do have some asymmetry on one outer thigh but I'm not fretting it too much as I am still swollen too so time may work that out. Expect some waviness so you won't be surprised if it happens. Best of luck to you! Getting all that done at the same time is quite brave, I personally couldn't handle it. I've come realize I don't handle pain as well as some.

Okay, wishing you the best tomorrow. I am also scheduled for liposuction tomorrow.

U may well b in surgery now. I wish u the best of luck and please post pictures of yr beautiful new body once u feel up to it.

Glad to here you are doing well. I have that same stiffness. I think I am turning the corner. The arnica gel is like a miracle and feels so good as soon as i apply it. Will need to get more of that for sure.
