3 days post-op back fat liposuction - your faja will be your best friend

I call Dr. Husni the magician because the results are much better than I could have dreamed.
In a nutshell, I am on a weight loss journey and had one fat area that was disproportional and not reducing like the rest of me. It made it near impossible to find proper bras and clothing. I explained to Dr. Husni the procedure would be a mid-journey procedure until I was ready for my final skin tightening procedures and he understood. I'm so happy with how this procedure has turned out. It's a relief to know I won't have to search once I reach my goal weight.
I will continue to update throughout my healing journey.

Day 1- I woke up instantly regretting surgery, but that only lasted for about an hour. Do expect to feel some post-procedure regret. The rest of the day and night went well with just some soreness. Dr. Husni called me later that day to see how I was doing. In my post-procedure faja I already look great. I guess that is not typical, but I would be happy just as is.

Day 2-4- In retrospect, I could have gone back to work right away, but the pain meds make me a little difficult to focus, so I am happy I took the time off to rest. Dr.Husni said to stay somewhat active, so I began reorganizing the home. You might do light housework and cooking. I would not drive on pain meds and would not carry laundry baskets. Bruising is pretty bad. Other than the bruising, it does not hurt. Your faja will be your best friend since it helps with soreness. Although there is swelling, you can't really tell in the faja.
Follow-up scheduled on Day 6

My first follow-up appointment went well. I am experiencing zero pain at this point and Dr.Husni said everything is looking great. Sometimes if I turn a certain way I feel a little sore but otherwise, I am fine. There is still a ton of bruising, but I bruise easily as it is. The next appointment will be 1 month post-op, so in three weeks.

12 days and I am just beginning my Embrace Scar silicone sheet therapy. Honestly, you probably do not need it for the tiny neat incisions, but I want to see how well they work for future procedures. Also, I want to prevent any infection.

I think I overstated how easy recovery is since I don't feel any pain. Psychology, it's best to be curious about healing process and not have any expectations. My faja is still my best friend. The compression makes me forget about any swelling or itchiness. I look great with the faja but without it, I see the swelling and bruising. Basically, I do a skin check in the morning and at night and just move on. I don't dwell on where I currently am. Still very happy with everything.
