Get Rid of Menopause Fat

Cellfina did not work for me so I went back to Dr. Liu and asked for liposuction of the abs and hips. My hips have these fat bulges I wanted gone. Not sure what to call them but there is unevenness in my body from the waist down. Dr. Liu suggested the BBL for me since I have a dent in my hips that he could fill in and create a more even look. I agreed and we set my date for October 12. I am now 4 days post op and so far so good. I am sore, especially my lower back and thighs. I no longer need pain meds and just use extra strength tylenol. I am very swollen. The day after surgery I weighed 141 pounds, gaining 11 lbs. and now weigh 137. I was under general anesthesia which I didn't want but now I'm glad I did. I woke up fine no nausea as the Dr. prescribed me a nausea patch that I put behind my ear the night before. I was given pain killers and more nausea meds for home. Sleeping the second night was the worst as far as discomfort. Everyone as the surgery center was great nurses and anesthesiologist. Tomorrow I have my follow up appointment. I don't expect to be a bathing beauty but rather wanted a more even silhouette and flatter stomach. I will post picks soon.

I had lipo of abs, flanks, and inner thighs. I went for my follow up yesterday at 5 days post. All looks good. I got 300cc in each cheek and my bum is huge. I wore a pair of loose pants that are now snug. It’s a cute butt but I know it will go down a bit. I’m still very swollen.

I’m 11 weeks out and still have hip dents. The only place I see improvement is my abs. I still have a few pounds to lose but not sure if that will make a difference. I initially wanted only lipo to smooth things out but dr. Convinced me to get a bbl. Now I still need lipo but have a big ass and can’t fit into my expensive jeans. I still have some numbness in my flanks, upper butt and inner thighs. My inner thighs don’t look very good either fat taken from middle but still have two protruding balls at the top. I’m so discouraged I could cry. I was hoping to see more improvement by 3 months and don’t see it coming. Any words of wisdom would be helpful. Thanks in advance and happy new year.
