Losing volume
Measurements are starting to fluctuate. I hope they go back up. Here are my 1 month pics.

I've heard measurements fluctuate with this procedure. Hold tight! Have your hips gotten narrower as well? Your butt will fluff.

Yes my hips went down. I was kind of liking them. I was a little bigger than 46 and now I am a little bigger than 44. My waist has gone from 34.5 to 32. I am still very swollen everyday.

I don't want my hips to go down. That's my concern. Do you think the garments cause the hips to go down, whether it's the first or second stage garment?

I have mostly worn the really big garment from surgery or spanx until today. I think.it is just the swelling subsiding and everything settling. I am going to be patient and see.

I've been wearing the large garment from surgery but since I've reached my 2 week mark I've switched to the medium spanx they recommend. Not sure I'm getting enough compression in my tummy.

I wore a really tight garment for a few hours one day. I hope it didn't flatten my hips and butt. Don't know I allowed myself to be talked into wearing it. It says medium but it's really extra small and so uncomfortable.

Agree with upset20. I will bet it is a combo of swelling and not fluffed yet. I think you look good so far. Your back looks awesome. How do your before and after measurements compare? That's probably most important. You have been through a lot in your recovery and I'm really pulling for you.

Awe thanks doll. I was almost 40" waist before sx right after 34" and now 32". 35" hip before 46" after and 44" now. I swell big time everyday. Pics are best done in the morning but my hubby is gone to work by then so I always get night ones.

8 inches off your waist is ridiculous! Even without adding 9 inches to your hips! That is so awesome! Do you find anything particular makes your swelling better or worse? I will be going in April and trying to be a pro by then. I'm not looking forward to the recovery, just the results... Lol.

So I've given up on the spanx. Tomorrow I'm going to get another garment. The one I bought was good but way too tight, so I couldn't wear it. Have you received the one you ordered yet?
Q
September 16, 2016
No I haven't...i should check on that. Yeah I wear the apanx only when washing my other stuff.

So today I bought a faja in size large. I still have the medium. Maybe sometime in the future I'll be able to wear the medium I previously bought. My problem is that I barely have a torso so garments don't fit me well. Keeping my fingers crossed that this one works. I tried on a few and the girls in store helped me decide. Can't wait for the day I no longer have to wear the garment. Clothing options are limited now bc I have to choose clothing that will hide the straps and the back of the garment. And yes I live in hot Florida! This recovery is a long process. Lol

My side view is like yours bc of insufficient compression. Gotta remedy that ASAP.

Ready to hop in bed and sleep an entire night
I am so tired. I watch everyone sleep most nights as I still have an open wound on my face but can't sleep on my back or sides. Okay. I am 3 weeks now and my rump is already getting soft. There is a tennis ball size of a hard spot that is very uncomfortable. I still have yet to get any massage because of the face. I tried to do some cleaning and my ankles swelled to the size of my knees. Had to put my old garment on. My trunk is still very sore from Lipo. I do not like the bbl pillow. It hurts my legs. I added a travel pillow to it and put it in a case. Sometimes I fashion a bed out of pillows and a pool float. That gives me some relief. If I stay that way for long, my calf starts to hurt. I am in love with my butt thus far. It will all be worth it if I don't lose any of it. Ok done complaining today.

Aww..I am so sorry you are going through that! I really hope you get some real relief soon. How much longer before you are allowed to lay on your back? How large/deep is the wound on your face?
Q

The face wound is now just my nose and a half dollar piece above my lip. We are not supposed to put pressure on the butt grafts for 6 weeks. Thanks for your comments.

Ohhh....I have gotten so use to sleeping on my stomach that no matter how much I try to lay on my back or sides, I just can't refrain from laying on my stomach. I can't believe I am now used to it :-\.
Your butt looks really good ;-).

....sorry, I accidentally hit the post comment....
I wouldn't worry about the massages, many doctors don't even mention having to do them.
Anyway, how are you sleeping!?!

Thanks. I am very happy with the shape he gave me. I can't help but wonder if the massages would help my leg swelling. I sleep in 45min increments. I use the float and 10 pillows or I prop my body up far enough to wrap a travel pillow around my neck and let my face hang. I wake up feeling like I am being hanged. If I sleep too long in the float, I wake up and my bum is touching the bottom. It is a struggle.
