I would just post one of the old school pics. That's where you were...not where you are :-) These posts are motivating so thank you...the only thing stopping me is telling work I need 4 weeks off. Geez... :-/

Awhile Thanks, I'm happy but one side seems to be losing a little more fat transfer than the other. Not sure if that will fill in or what?! That worries me a bit.

It's probably just the swelling going down faster on that side. It should even out. I remember him saying that's why he prefers taking "after" pics at least a few months out - because a lot of the swelling has calmed down by then.

Started this week but it hurts my lipo area on my legs alot. Just saw Dr. Markmann yesterday (5wks p/o) and he said I can get massages but not in the fat transfer areas. So I'm hoping that will help w my tightness in my legs and back

Hey, I'm glad to hear that you're recovery is going well. What did you do about edema? (are water pills helpful?)
August 13, 2013
Dr Markmann does not recommend water pills ( I asked) He said they will dehydrate me. Not good for growing fat cells

I went to him for a quote almost 3 years ago and for three surgeries he was charging $20,000. But now he'd probably charge over 35 grand just for my main two surgeries ! Gosh that's a car and a house payment lol

He might have gone up 5G, I'm just hoping it lasts years!!

Hey how is everything going? Does Dr M give you like 3 different garments to wear, getting progressively smaller as you shrink? Also, did he put lipo foam (or I've heard a lot about faja?) on inside the garment to help?
August 13, 2013
Yes as an as you have surgery you come out in a zippered garment that you are only to wear a day or two because of the zippers ruining your skin. Then you put on your next garment without zippers that is pretty identical . The office gave me two of those but I wish they gave me one a size down because it was too large withn two weeks. I ordered a long bodysuit stage 2 garment from the same Co marenagroup.com it's relieving the leg swelling alot better. Check out their website, the material is very comfortable. I also went to the medical supply store and bought compression pantyhose crotchless and thigh- high in black. Much better to wear out of the house than the white footless ones the hospital puts you in.

That's supposed to say " after you have surgery "

Dr. Markmann uses foam on the liposuction areas ( on me- back and abs, stomach) for 4 wks
