Microlipo on Stubborn Tummy Fat

So I was a tad anxious coming up to the day as I still hadn’t been given confirmation of the time of the procedure which was the next day and couldn’t get hold of the Dr’s PA. I phoned the general clinic in the end and got through, much to my relief and it was all sorted. All that said, whenever I had had contact with them they were really nice, the consultation I’d had 2 weeks prior had really made me feel I’d be in professional and experienced hands and everything was explained perfectly.

I’M SO HAPPY!

Words cannot describe how long I’ve hated my stomach. I’ve always had a noticeable stomach pooch which has remained no matter what weight I am and has been utterly resistant to exercise and diet. In my last year of uni I drove myself crazy striving for ‘perfection’ and despite losing 40lbs, hitting the gym 5 days a week and going keto, IT WAS STILL THERE!  I eventually decided dieting like lunatic was unhealthy and unsustainable and although I miss being skinny, I am a lot happier just hitting the gym and eating fairly decently. I did have to come to the conclusion that my tummy was just genetic and no amount of exercise or diet was going to do the trick. Then I discovered Microlipo with Dr Gupta and it is literally my dreams come true.  The procedure was straight forward and relaxed, everything was explained as they went along and so was the aftercare. I was crazy excited to take all the bandages and compression garments off this morning and oh my god! I could have screamed. IT’S FLAT! Dr Gupta said it’d take a couple more days for all the fluid to drain out and that there’d be some swelling but I’m ridiculously happy already. 100% worth the money!

Still can’t believe I actually did this - I’m so happy!

There’s some swelling today and after taking everything off for my shower this morning, I noticed my mons pubis area was pretty swollen but I had been warned about that (it’s from standing too much - gravity pulls everything down) so hopefully it’ll go down in a couple of days.

I did also have a slightly harder lumpy bit below my belly button which I wasn’t sure about so phoned the Dr to double check. He picked up almost immediately, talked through it all (it’s swelling from the trauma and quite normal) then told me to phone anytime I had a question which I really REALLY appreciate because it’s not like I have a wide pool of people to ask!

Other than that, I stopped draining by yesterday evening so just put a small pad over the lower incisions this morning in case there is any further leakage though I doubt it. The pain isn’t too bad - feels like the muscle soreness from a major weight lifting session after a break - though I took the pain killers last night before bed to make sure I could get comfy and get a good nights sleep.

I’m still wearing the compression garment and the belt and will probably wear them today and tomorrow. I’ve used waist trainers and corsets before so I’m used to the sensation but will admit having to wear them for so many days (and nights...mostly the nights) running is a pain - no idea how people having traditional Lipo put up with weeks of it!
