Liposuction of abdomen, flanks, and back

In a week I will have liposuction done by a doctor in south Florida. I have seen TONS of reviews on here about liposuction but most of them are for old people (no offense) and I wanted to make one for women around my age that might have different results because of age. I’ll give you a little back story: I am 21 years old and have been struggling with weight most of my life. I have been a size 16 all the way down to a size 2. Due to medical issues when I was younger the medication I had to take made me gain a ridiculous amount of weight. At my heaviest at 12 years old I was a little over 200 lbs. I lost close to 90 lbs in a year and a half but didn’t ever get to my “ideal” body. Throughout that time and including a couple years after I tried every diet imaginable and starved myself. Unfortunately they worked but only for a short period of time. I have always played sports and played collegiate softball so lack of exercise was never an issue. About 3 years ago I fell in love with CrossFit and it not only changed exercise from losing weight to being healthy but it did wonders for me mentally. I eat really healthy and enjoy the way great food makes my body feel. However, at the end of the day I am still not happy with my body. I have wanted to do this forever and am so excited about the end result. I can’t wait to match how I feel and how my body looks. My surgery is on June 5th so I’ll post a ton of pictures over the next upcoming weeks, my experience, and a little of my journey. Any advice on what I should buy based on need or feeling it would just be nice to have to aid the healing process would be great.

My surgery was at 8 am and I think I was too tired to be really nervous. Overall the procedure was a little rough as I found out I may not be fully susceptible to lidocaine effects and numbing. So the last half hour of the procedure I felt entirely. I was wrapped up and sent home and I mostly slept the rest of the day.

The first two days I really didn’t have any drainage or leakage and felt alright just a bit sore. The worst thing about the whole procedure is having to wear the compression garment. I had to wear long pants every where I went and with living in South Florida it sucks.
