I'm 5'2 and 160 lbs. wanting to do this for a few years now. My biggest fear is not waking up from anesthesia.
I chose Dr. Bryan Pruitt in Dallas. He was very friendly and professional. Only suggested parts that would help smooth out my body. Hips, Inner thighs, and abdomen. I also wanted a breast lift without implants.
He was very informational about the differences in what implants would achieve vs a lift. I'm not loving the idea of a scar down the boob but feel confident that scarring can be minimal.

Well, I woke up!! Pain and mobility is was worse than I expected. Extremely painful getting up and down. Took awhile to get the pain under control. Extremely swollen and bruised. The garment is uncomfortable with the drain tubes and foam inserts.

Did you have prescription for pain meds? Did you use them? I'm having same procedure so I want to be prepared. Thank you!

Drains came out yesterday. Woohoo although I’m still retaining lots of fluid and very swollen. I ordered a new faja that is a full bodysuit and would hopefully be more comfortable. The bruising and swelling from my compression garment flows where the garment isn’t so it’s protruding out of the top below my breast and it’s annoying. My doctor doesn’t recommend any foam after the first 48 hours but for my abs I am missing that comfort of having something to help smooth it out. I’m going to ask again at my appointment on Friday. I also have my first lymphatic drainage massage today! It’s a very gentle way of moving fluid and reducing swelling.

Are you wearing a full body faja that covers your mid section as well? That is really important! I recommend a company called Contour Fajas - they have everything. Are you placing foams and and using an ab board inside of your faja to increase compression? There is a lower back foam as well in the case that you got 360. Are you wearing compression socks up to your knee? Are you getting draining lymphatic massages to remove excess fluid? You should be draining out of your incision holes with professional help. I also recommend drinking canendula tea and pineapple detox teas. I also recommend drinking 3 raw green juices daily to get all the nutrient your body can get to heal. Itching can be relieved with a cream called Penetrex. Anyways all these things are a big deal to do religiously after lipo because if not your results won't be AMAZING.

Did your full body suit make any difference? I’m 10 days post op. I had a breast reduction, along with lipo of abdomen, flanks & back. I was sent home with the same one as you & had the same issue - dug into my sides & caused more bruising & a hard lump. I am struggling with all compression as it’s making my back spasm. I absolutely HATE this fluid/crappy muscle feeling. I keep reading compression helps - but my body is not tolerating it. I’m sure I need to be more patient but it’s driving me bonkers LOL
I choose one of the best doctors in Slovenia, dr. Zorman. Im very pleased with the results. My hips are so beautiful now and I feel much more self confident.
Hope you’re happy with your results.
