Post op Day 6!
Hi Ladies!
Here are my photos from day 6 post op! The bruising is in full swing, but it is already becoming more green yellow and will start fading soon! The smart lipo dots are looking better already. :)
I am still very swollen in my lower part, although I noticed that my lower tummy swelling is improving ( please see the pics attached ) and I also dropped 2 lbs on the scale from day 2 compared to day 6. I am still 3 lbs heavier than I am going into surgery, so still have some swelling.
Overall the lipo doesn't really hurt nor is it sore on day 6 unless I really sit in a weird position. I still have to wear the lipo garment all the time until my post op on May 4th at least. I am noticing my waist/hips is more and more hourglass every day, which is really really nice!!! :) :) :)
Hope you are all having a great day!!! :) :) :)

Liposuction/fat injections to the hip dips post op day 2
Hi Ladies!
This is the post op day 2 of my second phase of the Mommy makeover. :)
I had lipo first time around around my love handles. Now I had additional love handle lipo, inner/outter thigh lipo, and fat grafting to the hip dips. I told the surgeon that I desire a more hourglass figure.
He told me ahead of time that I will be very swollen after lipo, and that final results may take months to show! That it will just keep getting better each day. It is true! Day 2 looks already better than day 1, even though I am still very swollen. I can already see that my thighs have a little gap and are not touching, and that my figure is more hourglass, so that is very encouraging! The smart lipo laser dots are there too, but they thankfully don't itch or hurt.:)
He said that the swelling will go down to my tummy, and then may even to my vagina ( like with the Tummy Tuck ), as well as that it would be in the inner/outter thighs, hips at first and than it would go down.
It was a bit discouraging seeing my otherwise now flat tummy get swollen, but I know it is normal, and just need to give it time for the fluids to exist my body. I am still 6 lbs up like I was on the surgery day.
When I compare my last lipo experience with this one ( last one was just around the love handles ) - this one is definitely more painful. I should say sore actually. My flanks aren't sore except if I push on the skin, but otherwise I don't feel any soreness. However my thighs get sore every time I sit/lay on them. The pain is definitely not unmanageable, but it is there. However, I truly cannot complain. I have no drainage of any kind. We just removed my bandages/gauze as instructed from the lipo/breasts, and everything looks beautiful. No blood smears, or anything, really clean.
Excited to see the progress over the upcoming weeks! :) I attached the lipo garment ( the black "leggings" ). It is not uncomfortable at all, and not made out of itchy material, so it feels nice. I prefer not to have it on of course, so that I can just wear regular clothing, but since I have to wear it for a while, it is good to know that it is at least not bothersome. :)

Liposuction of the Love Handles, Outter&inner Thighs, and Hip Dips Fat Grafting
Hi Everyone!
It is finally time for my part 2 of the Mommy makeover. This phase will include a breast augmentation ( I will do a separate post for that ), as well as the liposuction of my love handles, inner & outter thighs smart lipo, as well as fat grafting to the hip dips.
This liposuction part is $9100. ( lipo of the flanks, inner&outter thighs and hip dips ).
When I had my tummy tuck, the doctor did the liposuction of the flanks already and I saw a great improvement. However he couldn't take too much all at once. My thighs have always touched each other on the inside, no matter how much weight I lost or didn't loose.
I am 133.6 lbs at the moment, hoping to be 131/130 lbs by Tuesday. I am on a liquid diet at the moment, and think that it will be achievable?
Smart lipo is a regular liposuction combined with special lasers that will heat up and shrink the skin to tighten it. This is very important for the inner thighs as our skin is naturally thinner there, and they cannot just take out unlimited amount of fat as we would have a lot of loose skin leftover.
Combination of these procedures should give me a more hourglass figure. This is my before, and I will update after as soon as I am able to:)
The total liposuction/fat grafting will last about an hour. The fat that they suck out from my love handles/thighs will be purified ( he used a special term, but in a sense purified ) and injected back into my hip dips to smoothen them out.
I will be given a special lipo garment to wear. The worst part will be sleeping on my back for at least 3 weeks ( I despise sleeping on my back, but, we have to do what we have to do...). The new fat is moldable so he wants me to exclusively sleep on my back not to "squish" it for a few weeks, so that it wouldn't change the shape. Also, I will have to wear the lipo garment for 4 weeks and take it on and off every day 2-3 times per day, just to make sure that there are no lines getting indented into my "soft newly grafted fat". They also want me to wear looser clothing for the first few weeks for the same reason, so that I don't get any clothes' lines indentation in my skin.
I am a realtor, and my only loose clothing are home sweatpants and two pjs I bought for the surgery. I cannot quite go out and show homes in sweatpants, so I will somehow have to get creative with clothing. If anyone has any clothing ideas, please let me know! :)
I was given the exact same 6 medications that I had for plastic surgery.
An opioid pain killer
Antibiotic
Muscle Relaxer
Nerve pain medicine
Stool Softener
Nausea Medicine
I will be coupling lipo with breast augmentation, cannot wait to see how it all turns out - hopefully it will be great! Hope you are all doing well and staying healthy and happy! :) :) :)
