I’m feeling a little better and getting around a little easier. Still have a lot of bruising and swelling but not a ton of pain. I had a follow up yesterday and found a red spot forming on the side of my right breast so started antibiotics for an infection and have to go back Friday to be sure it doesn’t get any worse, but as of today it already is looking better. I still am not seeing a lot of change to my chin, arms, and thighs so it is discouraging, I still have my double chin that I hate and paid to get fixed :( I am not able to eat a lot still only a few bites here and there. I’m starting to walk mostly up right. Still having trouble sleeping due to not being able to get comfortable though.

3 days post op and swell hell
TexasgirlknsOctober 12, 2019
I’m super swollen and it is very uncomfortable. I also have a lot of bruising. I’m not sleeping much due to pain and just being overall uncomfortable. My vagina is super swollen and bruised and hurts and my arm and leg and chin lipo I’m second guessing as I don’t see much change there other than bruising and swelling. My breasts are still hard and swollen and sitting high on my chest, can’t wait for them to drop some. I’m ready for the swelling to start subsiding so I can really see my new body and shape

I know what you mean. The one thing I didn't like about Avante is that they tout how people don't experience pain and want to go dancing within a few days. That was not my experience and Tylenol did nothing for me. He did reluctantly prescribe 5 more Tylenol 4 to me when I went to my second post op appointment. It wasn't enough, but it was something. The first 5 days were by far the worst for me because I felt like I never got more that an hour of sleep due to pain and the pubic and back/flank swelling hurt so bad. Hang in there; it will get better. But I know that doesn't help much right now. Good luck!

I agree 100% last night and today has been hell! I can't sleep bc of pain in my back and I'm out of pain meds and finally got them to call in more to my pharmacy today but very reluctantly and not near enough. Regular Tylenol does nothing for me either! I have so much swelling and bruising and I can't see a change at all on my arms, inner thighs, and chin with the added lipo I did there so it's discouraging. I'm super regretting this right now :(
October 13, 2019
I'm sorry you're feeling that way. I will tell you that my husband's chin lipo didn't look like any change for about two weeks but now looks a lot better. You're already looking great, so I'm confident you will be a lot happier after you have been able to get some good rest.

That makes me feel a little better! I'm just impatient to see results and my belly is still so swollen it doesn't look flat
October 14, 2019
I hope you are feeling better. Thanks for sharing
October 14, 2019
Thank you! I'm feeling a little better today. I had a follow up and was put on antibiotics because one of my breasts is red so want to be sure it isn't an infection.

Just curious are you using any compression garments I hear it helps with swelling and I noticed no drains too. Did they suggest lymphatic massages. I have surgery scheduled for 1/2020- gathering info
October 14, 2019
Yes I have a compression garment on all the time except to shower and wash them. He doesn't use drains or recommend massages
October 15, 2019
I had my MM oct 8th and I totally get you about the swelling! I have two drains and I was not expecting to be this swollen so soon. i was thinking that it would be like that after getting drains out but I’ve still got them and it’s bad. I’ve been wearing my compression garment and I can’t tell if that’s helping or not. One boob won’t go down. The work my PS did was good as is yours. I just can’t wait to fully see it. Hope things get better for you!
October 15, 2019
Thank you! I was not expecting this much swelling either! I've had my compression garment on but can't tell if it's doing much haha! My left breast is dropping faster than my right breast is and I'm super impatient to just see my full results! Hope things get easier for you as well. Happy healing :)

Super swollen and bruised and sore today. I’m uncomfortable but not unbearable. My body is achey all over and I stay tired all day and want to sleep. I can’t wait for the swelling and pain to go away so I can see more of my results but I think I’ll be happy!

You're looking great! I had my lipotuck with Dr. Ahmadi in Sept 19. Hope your healing goes well!
October 12, 2019
Thank you! I’m pretty sore overall still and swollen a lot and bruised but doing ok. How’re you healing and doing?
October 12, 2019
Yeah, the swelling that first week is insane. Just take things slow. It took me until this week to feel like it was worth it, but I've finally gotten there. I can finally stand mostly straight and do just about anything (except the things we aren't supposed to do). I've lost 25 lbs since morning of surgery. And the incision seems to be healing really well.
October 12, 2019
It's definitely insane how swollen I am! I've second guessed doing this a few times haha! I'm definitely moving slow but surprisingly walking mostly upright. I'm hoping my incision heals nicely it looks rough right now! And that is great congratulations! I'm hoping to lose some weight also! I am not able to eat a lot still right now. How's your swelling now?
October 12, 2019
You're very lucky to walk upright already. It's maddening to walk like an upside down L! Swelling is very slight in the morning. At about 3, it feels like I will pop and then subsides through the evening. I have only had three restaurant-prepared meals (two of which were salads!) since surgery and swelling was BAD after. (Tip: drink a cup of cranberry weightless tea made made with two tea bags if you're swollen from a salty meal.) Otherwise, I have been eating tons of fruits, vegetables, and lean protein to keep the sodium at bay.
October 12, 2019
That's good to hear, I still walk slightly hunched over but not bad. Swelling is killing me and I'm sore uncomfortable with bruising and haven't had a BM yet. Where do I find the cranberry tea? I still haven't eaten more than toast or mash potatoes
October 12, 2019
Yeah the lipo soreness is no joke. And waiting for that first BM is rough too. Dr Ahmadi said it's ok to make mashed potatoes out of sweet potatoes. I tried that and had a BM that evening. You can get the tea in the herbal tea aisle at some grocery stores or order it from Amazon.
October 12, 2019
Thank you so much! I'll have to get me some sweet potatoes and cranberry tea!
October 16, 2019
You look so great! Your before pictures are me now with the belly ( my boobs I got done when I was 19 which I totally regret so when I get my belly fixed I’m going to get my implants removed and get a lift) you look fantastic! Can’t wait to see more pictures!
October 16, 2019
Thank you so much! I’m sorry you regret your augmentation :( I was borderline on a lift so I’m hoping I don’t regret mine quickly and need a lift soon. After having 6 kids my belly was ruined so I was ready to finally do it (even though I still have mom guilt spending so much on myself) haha! I’ll be posting frequent updates, I’m still so swollen and my tummy isn’t completely flat so I’m hoping it goes flat and swelling goes down more and more!
