7 days post surgery.
Today is one week after my surgery :) I’m feeling good! I’m back at work, I have a 8-5 desk job so it’s cool and my compression garment is not giving me any issues bc I sit in a chair for 8 hours unless I’m gone to lunch or to the bathroom. My pain has been at a 2 and it’s not even pain it’s just that my lower back and flank area is very tender to touch. I can tell that I had aggressive lipo in those areas but I’m not complaining :) sleeping is getting better but I’m waking up throughout the night to readjust my body to a more comfortable position since sleeping on my sides can be a but uncomfortable. I bought a body pillow so my tender flanks can have something soft to lay on. I’m still swollen but it has been going down each day, my bf loves my new shape. Other than that, I’m super happy with my results so far.
5 days post op!
Today is my 5th day post surgery and I feel great. I’m up moving around as normal. I am a little sore around my flanks but it’s bearable. I’m wearing my garment for 24 hours and ordered another one off of amazon so I can have a back up. Getting out of bed in the morning is a little rough but once I’m up and moving around I’m good to go. I was done taking the pain medication on day 3 and started taking over the counter meds such as Advil and Arnica for bruising and swelling. My incisions are healing fast. I have been putting tea tree oil and Vitamin E on my incision marks so I won’t have dark scars. One incision has healed almost completely and the other one has a scab.
I went to see Dr. Schaffer on day 3 post op and he said everything is looking good and to continue wearing my compression garment.
I took pictures of what I am looking like. I’m still super swollen but I love my results so far.

I had my surgery back in Sept 2018 and choosing Dr. Schaffer was the best decision I’ve made in a long time. Dr. Schaffer and his staff made sure I was comfortable and they answered any questions I had! & I’m actually considering going back for more!
