I was nervous for nothing the procedure was painless. I was very comfortable once the meds kicked in. I’m one day post op and I feel sore but is not unbearable I’m still very swollen which is normal.

I had my 7 day follow up on 3/13/19 the nurse checked my incisions they were good she took some pictures and gave me a smaller garment , okay so they didn’t even have a garment for me she gave me what she could find and told me they will mail me one and I should receive in 7-10 business now I’m just going to go buy my own because it’s an inconvenience and totally not worth the wait cause they garments suck no compression at all I had to put on a waist trainer over it I also asked her is there a possibility that my stomach is actually going to be flat when the swelling goes down she said give it about 5-6 weeks is going to go down but is not going to be flat Which is not what I was told on my initial consultation but I guess they just tell u what u want to hear I paid all this money to hear that BS I was not too thrilled I still haven’t even told my close loved ones how much I actually paid cause I’m embarrassed at this point because I could have went somewhere else for way less and a actual flat stomach

Hi
Well I can see a little difference from your before picture and your picture after your procedure. Looks ok.

That's really unprofessional on their part, good you put them on blast... I'm sorry that you didn't get what you were promised and after so much money... just wanted to say that... hope it gets better, but there is a difference from the before and after

3 days post op

So my surgery was 3/6 I started my massages 3/8 of course they were painful but much needed I immediately noticed a slight difference the fluids were literally just squirting out the incisions my incision sites healed pretty quickly which made my drainage a bit more difficult being that I only had one good incition site to use for drainage I also started using an ab board today I always thought I would look perfect after lipo but it seem like that just half the journey I scheduled 12 massages I already did 2 I will post some more pictures when I’m 7 days post op hoping to see better results after swelling goes down :-)

Still swollen. Also when I went for my 7 day follow up they checked my weight and still the same weight I was pre op so far not happy just trying to remain positive so I keep saying I’m swollen. I look the same way I looked before my surgery . I’m starting to think this whole thing wasn’t worth it put myself through all of this and still looking and feeling fat

I hope you're doing well! Let us all know about the results:))

Don’t worry. The swelling takes ages to go. 4 weeks in I was nearly double my original size. I was really worried. I am now over the moon and still have a way to go yet. I am 4 months out. It can take 6 to 12 months for full results so hang in there

Yea I’m realizing it takes time and patience.

What ??? That’s ridiculous. 12 months ummmm no

Wow you’re a nice person ! Just relaying what my surgeon and research have told me. Hey everyone is different . I’m still seeing changes so I’m very happy with that

Your tummy definitely looks flatter!!

There is definitely difference! It’s hard with lipo because they need to leave some fat behind so there are no irregular contours when it heals. I had lipo recently and my stomach is not flat. However, I think I had a separation of my muscles I was born with and I’ve also had two children. Also, if you have visceral fat underneath the muscle they cannot remove that. You are still very early on in the process, you will not see 80% of your results until at least 3 months so do not lose hope!
