Liposuction & Skin Excision - So Happy!

47 y/o, 5ft 7, 169 on surgery day... close to my ideal weight of 155. 10 days post op. I had my procedure on Sept 1, 2020 and am thrilled with my results so far. Lipo of upper and lower abs, flanks and skin excision below belly button (mini tuck?) - nothing done with muscles as my Doctor said I didn't need it. I know this isn't a weight loss procedure but I am already below my pre-surgery weight. I started seeing Dr Foley with my breast augmentation and lift in 2019 and this year went back for this procedure. The before picture was right after my breast surgery but I really hadn't changed much since then. (It's super hard to stick to a diet during the Covid Pandemic). I have gotten back on Keto this week though and I am super excited to start working out. I will wait until I am released to do that. I had my second post op appointment virtually this morning and he said my incision looks great. I will be adding a second compression garment starting today over the top of the one given to me at surgery, only because I want to see more results. Every day it keeps getting better! Next post op is in 3 weeks. I don't have any bruising at all. I'll update my pictures as time goes on. Oh and Dr Foley and his staff are amazing!

There is a little bit of change everyday. This picture is today, 9/21. Surgery was on 9/1. My tummy is getting flatter. I'll post an update in a week or two, still waiting for some of the swelling to go down.

I am feeling so thin! Muffin top gone and I have the flattest stomach ever. Of course there is still swelling to go down and lumps etc which will eventually soften and go away. I notice last night after my shower that I have a hard sore lump on my right side so I asked about that at my post op appointment. I have been doing Keto for the last 3 weeks and have actually lost 10+pounds since surgery day. (sept 1). .... results of my post op appointment this morning..... I can take my compression garment off as I feel comfortable. I can start sleeping without it and wear it during the day for a couple more weeks. I can switch to spanx anytime. I can soak in the hot tub. I can exercise only with the garment on, the sore spot will go away and as the swelling goes down I may find more of them and they too will soften and go away. It is sore fatty tissue. I told him I've been doing Keto and down 10 pounds since surgery. He said he gets credit for 4 pounds of that, I told him I would give him half credit. My incision looks amazing. Next check in December for photos.....
I'm posting some more pictures today to show my progress. These were taken last night and this morning. Next post I will probably try a bikini!
