Day 21

WORTH IT$9,500
Feeling great. No more bruises yay!!! Every day I’m shocked about how easy the recovery has been. I wish I did this before. I Can’t speak of any other surgeons but definitely 100% recommend Dr. Grubber. I still have some “wrinkles” and unevenness on my back but it’s only 21 days. Im still swollen. I’m sure by the 3rd month they will be gone. I hope.

Thank you for sharing your experience and taking us along your recovery. I went in Feb for a consultation with ArtLipo but I'm such a chicken. I'm very close to just doing it. Would love if u could share another update. Thanks again
Thanks for commenting.
I am a chicken too. But I can honestly say this experience was too easy. I had my arms done 2 days ago ( not even a month after my back and waist lipo) and I love it. I never had massages done by anyone. I Just Do a bit in the shower and that’s it.
I don’t wear the garment for my first surgery anymore. Just the arms. I’m on day 3 of my arms lipo and the only complain is the sleeves are restrictive but in 2 weeks they will be gone.
Dr. Grubber sculpted the parts of my body that I needed sculpting and I will be forever grateful.
She is UNBELIEVABLY skilled. I hear horror stories but none from this Dr. or any of the doctors at ArtLipo. They are worth every penny. I don’t have time for too many recovery days, or massages, or garments for 2 months. That’s why I paid top price.
All I can say is DO IT. You won’t regret it. I will answer any questions as you recover if you want. Be happy.
Your results are frigging awesome! That day 21 photo! The difference is just great
Thank you. Best decision ever. She’s the BEST! I feel so confident and overall much happier.
You're most welcome.
Hi there. Your results are amazing. I wanted to ask if you could describe the pain level during the procedure being under just local anesthesia. Scale of 1-10, how would you rate it (with 10 being the worst pain ever). Looking forward to your response.
Hi, I would say rather than painful very uncomfortable but for literally the first 20 minutes. Nothing I remember now but just weird.

Day 14

Feeling great. Light jogging on the treadmill. No pain just a bit tender.
I give myself a massage every morning I feel this helps with the swollen bits.
I CANT BELIEVE how easy my recovery has been. I accredit all of it to Dr. Grubber and the tools she used.
Next week I’m doing my arms.

Wow! Looking amazing! When did you stop wearing your foam?
I actually still wear it when I’m at home. I really like the feel of it on my skin. The garment by itself can create some indentations that I prefer to avoid. I don’t see myself not wearing the garment any time soon. It keeps everything together and is very comfortable. They gave me 3 (s,m,l) so I wear large when using the foam and now using small without the foam. They are very easy to put on. I never needed help putting one on.

Ok so i only took pain meds for the first 2 nights. Still uncomfortable to turn in bed but every day Is more manageable.
I started to walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes a day. Nothing crazy but I feel it helps with swelling.
I am definitely more swollen today than day 2 but that’s expected.
I can see my bra rolls going down. My entire lower back and love handles are swollen and very tender. Pretty much numb to the touch. I really like wearing the compression garment I feel it keeps everything compacted. Bruising is going down also. Remember my stomach was no touched so don’t expect to see a difference on the pouch going down. ( that is a separate procedure. I’m going to try to help it with diet and exercise)
So for my first week I feel great. Can you see a difference?

I see the difference, looking great!
Thank you
How long was the procedure? Why are you doing a separate one? How much lb in fat did she take out? Cost? Only asking because I want to do full 360 and arms but would like to do in a single procedure if possible.
