I am having liposuction of my whole torso tomorrow with Dr. Bryson Richards in Las Vegas. I came in with the problem of a "hip dip" so I wanted my flanks liposuctioned to have it a bit less noticeable, since he is making them smaller, I decided I would also need my back, waist, and stomach done also to "blend" it all together and maintain the hourglass shape I already have. I am not overweight, and most of my weight actually goes into my thighs. My stomach is decently flat, but the "hip dips" just never go away. When I put on tight clothes they are magnified and I can not deal with it anymore. I am not going to transfer the fat anywhere either since I already have a curvy lower half.
So far, I love the facility and staff that I have encountered in his office. He did not rush me during the consult and he gave me extra information that I had not thought of asking for.. I will post some "before" photos shortly!

Surgery Was Postponed Until Feb. 9th - But went well.

I am currently 5 days post op, and everything went well. I had my first post op appointment a few days ago and was told to expect most swelling to go down after 3-4 weeks. I will be wearing the garment full time until 4 weeks as well. As far as pain goes, for me personally this has been more painful than my breast implants, but still bearable. I also could have used more of my pain killers/muscle relaxers if I chose to.
When I got out of surgery, I was leaking from my inactions extremely heavily. Apparently this is a good thing, but is a big mess. I had to have my friend bring some doggy pee pads over and I had to line the house with them, but a shower liner on my bed, and also create a make shift diaper out of them and pads. When I came home from surgery I was about 10 pounds heavier than when I went in, but after the first night I lost almost 4 of those pounds. With this being said, make sure your caregiver is someone your are extremely comfortable with and can handle such a mess.
I have a total of 9 incisions that are all closed now. There are 4 in the front; 1 in the middle of my bikini area, one more towards each hip, and than one in my belly button. I have 5 in the back; two kinda where some people have dimples, 2 more a few inches above them, and than 1 where my tail bone is. Just an FYI, the tailbone leaked the most. Lol.
I allowed to take the garment off to shower (which is an interesting experience the first time) so I took a few photos.

I’m feeling good, just a little sore. However, when I had my breast ag, I think I recall it being very difficult to life anything for a few weeks.. so with that said, the little ones might give you a run for your money.

I’m sure they will! How do you feel about your swelling? Has all of your bruising faded? I am a little nervous because we are leaving for Mexico 5 weeks after a not sure how swollen to expect to still be.
