God granted me the COURAGE to change the things I can, so I'm going for it.

Month 2 to 3 has been pretty uneventful. I noticed deceased overall swelling with occasional itching and discomfort in my back and flanks from the liposuction. I have continued to wear an XS Waist cincher with an ab board as Dr Mallol told me to do as much as I can. I try to wear it 24/7, it's just too hard. I take it off In my sleep. Lol. He assured me that the seroma and hematoma would improve over time, and he was right. My scar is healing nicely. I use Biocorneum twice daily. Now that my waist is truly taking form I'm starting to wish I had gotten a butt lift. I know if I had gotten my butt bigger I would have to wear larger clothes and I'm happy wearing size 6-8. Lucky for me I get good results in the gym so once I hit the weighted squats again I'm sure the shape of my rump will improve.

It's been two months and my body is finally settling down. Dr Mallol instructed me to continue massages at least twice a week and 24/7 compression and it's working. I noticed that itching is worse if I get warm or sweat so I found a routine that works. A hot shower instantly calms the itching. After that I use Benedryl gel and ice packs. I even grab ice packs for my night itching and it's been working well. Just don't leave the Ice packs in one spot too long as the nerves will go from itching to sensing sharp pain.
