Lymphatic machine
hello everyone,
Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. Ill be sure to post some pics very soon. My butt is looking good! Today I just wanted to share this cool thing I found on Amazon that I think is very helpful for bbl patients. It's a machine called a swing master. It helps move around your lymphatic fluid and promote faster healing. I like to use it on days I'm not getting massaged. A few weeks ago when I swelled up severely, couldn't close my legs bcuz my thighs and vagina turned purple and we're so full of lymphatic fluid, I totally could have used this machine for help. Oh well...I'll know for next time, but at least I can share this find with the rest of you. Search it on amazon and on YouTube under "lymphatic drainage chi machine " to see how it works. Talk to you all soon! Btw...since I know a lot of you will ask, it cost around 100 dollars.

Let's talk about the pain...
Is the procedure/recovery painful? How painful is it? My experience included moments of difficult pain and moments of almost no pain. I had someone with me the whole time so my recovery was easier, but he didn't help with the pain. A lot of the pain management has to do with expectations and prior experience. I've had worse procedures like a tummy tuck and have given birth to three children. Compared to that it wasn't bad. But compared to a sprained finger it was very painful the first few days. If you've had kids, you can do this. If your biggest trauma in life is a hang nail, then you will find this procedure excruciating.
The pain meds help a lot. Sure there were times I went to the beach and got my nails done, but they were preceded and followed by times just lying down in the back of the car or taking long naps. I felt a lot of pain at times, but there were other times when I was feeling relatively normal. The pain comes in waves. Once you get up from a nap you feel stiff but energetic, but after an hour the discomfort/light headedness starts to catch up with you. To call it pain is probably not entirely accurate. I think soreness is probably a better term.
Don't be fooled by pics at the beach, because there were plenty of times I just slept and rested. One of the hardest parts is sleeping on your stomach all the time. After a while you just want to be on your back or sit on your butt and you can't.
After the first few days the pain becomes far more manageable, but even now at day 11, I still feel like I was beat up.
For me, the pain doesn't bother me as much because I'm seeing results I love.

You look GREAT !! Don't worry about those flat spots on your butt. The fat will eventually settle in, your butt will drop, and it will take its shape and roundness. That happened to me too.
Interesting about the pain. I only had pain the first 2 days ( including day of SX ) and after that I was just really uncomfortable. I started to feel better AFTER my drain was removed and it wasn't until day 11 that I started to feel more flexible and normal I guess. I'm 31 days post op and I still wake up very stiff & I'm still swollen. Not as much though. I can't imagine going back for round 2.
Praying that you have a quick recovery !!! ;)
This was my first BBL, but I think that mine may have been more painful because it was my fourth time doing lipo. Dr Fisher said it it would be my most painful liposuction procedure, and he was right. Not having "virgin fat" made it more difficult because there was a lot of scar tissue to break through and there was more blood and trauma to the body. Thanks for the heads up on your progress.
Hey love, I have enjoyed following your journey. You and your husband seem like such a lovely couple :) interesting about the lipo. So does the fat come back in the same places? I always heard it would come back, but in different areas.
Oh wow !!! 4 times ? You're brave ! This is my first BBL & lipo and although I only had pain for 2 days the soreness was very REAL and intense.
Did the fat come back in areas that you previously lipo? And did they come back because you didn't work out or eat healthy ? Or you did eat healthy and worked out and still it came back ? I'm so conflicted. I've been eating so healthy because I'm so paranoid that my fat will return to the areas of donor ESPECIALLY my stomach which was where I had the most fat. I don't want to deprive myself either, but I don't want to do this SX again. Also, did you realized that it came back in other areas of your body as well ? I feel like my thighs are getting thicker now which isn't a bad thing as long as it doesn't return in the areas of lipo.
Yes, I want to know as well !!! Does it ?
Thanks for updating. Looking good.
Looking great :-)
This is great thank you for posting
You look awesome!! Keep it up.
