Totally WORTH It! 33, 5 kids, just wanted to remove stubborn belly fat

My before and after at my 6 month check in. I felt amazing! Pants felt a little looser or like they fit better but I’m still same size. Remember, it’s not weight loss, just sculpting. I feel more confident now in wearing tighter and smaller shirts. So I’ve purchased a few small and medium shirts.

I started getting the most bruising at 1 week and it lasted about a week. I forgot to mention I did take surgery grade arnica at the time of procedure and days after. I had a one week follow up and it was basically to check the incision sites and make sure I didn't have an infection or weird swelling. The Dr. told me not to worry about irregularities at the moment because it's still very early and it will all go away.
I'm so in awe and I can't believe how much belly over hang is gone! It's still only 2 weeks out but the change is just WOW!! AMAZING! I am amazed and am so happy with my results so far. I couldn't update previous post but I got Abdomen, Waist/Hips, & Bra Fat/Flanks.

They say results may not be seen right away but I was so happy with my swollen self after procedure! I only needed vicodin the day following surgery. They warned me it would be the worst day. It wasn't too bad but definitely felt like you had a procedure done. Just tight and moving slow. My oldest son said I was walking like an old person. lol. After that I just needed ibuprofen. I didn't need it around the clock though. It was just here and there. Hard to explain but the pain or uncomfortableness came and went in spurts. It wasn't a persistent pain. I felt bruised and skin felt tingly. They encourage you to walk to prevent clots. I tried walking around the neighborhood on the second day and didn't get too far. I felt pain starting to creep up. Still important to walk around the house and not be bed ridden.

They advised me to change out of the garment they provided and put on the second stage garment once I stopped leaking. I had one stubborn incision that kept slowly leaking. That one didn't stop leaking until the 5th day. All of the others stopped leaking around day 3. My second stage garment was supposed to be a medium compression. No zippers or clamps of any sort because it can cause indentation. It took me a while to find a good one that was comfortable but I decided on a spanx shorts bodysuit. I have been in that one since day 5. I switch it out with a panty/abdominal spanx depending on what I wear. I haven't tried any jeans or shorts yet. It's been mainly dresses but that is perfectly fine because it's summer!

On day 3 I started getting visibly swollen but still noticed a drastic change from my before. On day 5 I started getting lumps but I knew to expect them and didn't worry too much. I knew that it was just pockets of fluid that would eventually shrink.
