I have a follow up with my surgeon today. I am feeling so much better and more mobile but I still can't stand up straight and I am still sooooo swollen. My pre-op pants will not even come close to buttoning. Will this ever go away? I feel like I am bigger than before the surgery.

It's been a long 10 days but it's gone by fast at the same time. I went back to work at 8 day post surgery. It was uncomfortable but I made it through and now I have the next three days off.
My lipo sites are the most bothersome. My flank areas burn. I do have quite a bit of swelling still especially in the flanks. I am so looking forward to that going down. I can be so impatient.
I was blessed in the fact I had one drain removed at 5dpo and be other at 7dpo. I didn't have a lot of drainage.
These photos were from last week. I will be taking more at the two week mark to track my progress. I still can't stand up straight. I am very tight.

Congratulations! I am also 8 days post op. I haven't seen my insicion since the steri strips have not came off yet. Doctor said to leave it alone until it falls off on its own. Any advice?

I didn't have step strips. I had this antibiotic tape stuff that my surgeon removed. I had steri strips a few years ago with my breast lift and they really bothered me. I remember using soap around them in the shower to get them off. Happy healing!

Looks good. I wish I had the will power to go back to work after 8 days. I had 2 c-section and moved around fine after two days but everyone keep saying it's nothing like a c-section. I'm a nurse I took off 3 weeks.

It was rough I will say that but I have a desk job. As a nurse you will certainly need more than 8 days. Today I'm feeling really good. Good luck to you!

She far I am excited about what I see.

So I am still in a good deal of pain. It's mostly muscular since the lipo site sonority numb but I don't have much bruising. I am really really swollen but despite that I am pleased with what I see so far. I can't wait until the swelling subsides so I can really see what my results will be. I am not draining very much so hopefully I can get these drains out next week. I am seriously hunched over right now. I was pulled really tight. Taking it easy right now and trying not to do too much. I can't believe I finally made it to this side.
