Hi everyone! It's been exactly a year since I had liposuction to my abdomen, waist and outer thigh. I also had fat transfer to my breasts. Overall I am very happy with the procedure, but I feel like they were a few spots that he missed the first time around, and I have added my outer thighs for this procedure. It's really more of a "micro Lipo" to the areas I need treated. You can read my old review if you want for the initial procedures. Basically I need around my belly button lipod a little bit and my upper abdomen which he didn't really get the first time around. Again, just a little is needed. My lower hips were also not done the first time and they really bother me so he is going to lipo those a bit. And I am adding my outer thighs as well. I was hoping that inner thigh Lipo would slim my legs a bit more, which it did, but not really enough to make a difference so I'm hoping a little Lipo on the outer thigh will do the trick. I'm scheduled for this Thursday. I'm a little nervous but at least I know what to expect this time around. I also have all my garments and supplies from last year so that's good! I only had to buy a new garment for the first two weeks as last time I had to cut the straps off the garment because they crossed over my breasts and put too much pressure on them for the fat transfer. I bought a new one and intend to keep the straps on this time because I am not doing the fat transfer. I am 49, 5,6" . I have also gained weight since the last surgery and I'm about 123 lbs. The nice thing is that all my pants still fit me. In the past I would not have been able to fit into my pants at this weight.

I should up at the clinic around 9:30 AM. They brought me back and gave me some cocktail of medications to make me a bit sleepy. Then thy brought me into the doctor where he could mark me up. I included some pictures. He’s doing the upper abdomen, Around the belly button area as well as my lower back hip area. He’s also going to smooth out a little bit in my lower back. I am excited because he was able to tackle the little rolls under each breast which he was not able to get to last time. I was awake the whole time but feeling drowsy. There was really no pain involved other than occasionally a little stinging. Before I I knew it I was done and they bandaged me up and put on my compression garment. My husband was there to take me home. So far really no discomfort because of the timescent fluid. I do have some oxycodone if I need it, but extra strength Tylenol is recommended. Hoping for good results!

Just really sore today, especially when getting in and out of bed or in and out of the chair. The one thing I don’t like about the first step of these garments are the side zippers. Even though they make it easy to get in and out of I feel like they chaff on the sides of your body. I much prefer step two with no zippers. Just using extra strength Tylenol today but I might use a pain pill at night to help me sleep.I. Changed out my dressing today. I did have some leakage but not a ton. I snapped a few photos before putting the new bandages on. I can feel I’m starting to swell already.

You look great! There is a pretty big difference. It looks like your PS did a fabulous job in addressing all of your issues, even though you looked very nice after the 1st procedure. It's always nice to know what to expect the 2nd time around, too.

Thanks! I am definitely entering the swelling phase. I woke up so swollen and stiff. I need to start my manual massages but it's still so painful! I have a professional lymphatic massage at my PS on Wednesday. I m going to buy a series of 5. Just hoping I don't get fibrosis!!
