Vaser Lipo - Mumbai, India

Hi! I had my Vaser Liposuction done from my back, love handles, and abdominal area 5 weeks ago. I’m aged 43: 174cm and 152Lbs.

Here’s my story:
For the past 20 years I’ve constantly been sick of dieting and vigorous exercise. I’ve been on Broccoli and carrots for ages ?, Which later, I’ve learnt is and was a total waste of time. Anyways, I had diet and exercise-resistant fat, pouches of fat on my back and tires of fat on my tummy. I had decided to go for Vaser Lipo for almost a year and carried immense research through the internet and actually my Doctor was really good and beyond what I had in mind. But yes, my experience, so far, was good!

On the 9th of July 2011, I got It done through General Aesthesia. Was I excited or what?! But has I drew closer to the operation theatre I kept feeling I was going to die! But turned out: As soon as I got back to my senses, awkwardly, I honestly felt absolutely normal! It was as if I had undergone no surgery. Perhaps that was because I had no anaesthesia issues and most of all I was on pain-killer drips. But that’s when I was all wrong . . .

The next morning I felt as If I’d been hit by a truck on all the treated areas. There was bruising and swelling all over my back and abdominal flanks. I was in hospital bedroom with a wonderful team of nurses and my doctor who were extremely caring and hospitable. They were all the time worried about my well-being and If I had any throw up-like sensations, of which I had none.

So, I spent two more days In the hospital before I was discharged with 2 Compression-garments and 3 body tightening wraps (belts). I also had a post.Op a week after, where my doctor massaged out all the occupying Lymphatic fluid.

Till today, I have not been the exercise-maniac I used to be but more diet conscious after Lipo. I tried brisk walking but that just made it worse! Occasionally, I do get alot of itching and swelling but as I learnt that’s only a sign of healing. Slight numbness and pain (upon pressing) over the treated areas, still persists most on the shoulder flanks.

Gosh, Five weeks over! I am so used to the belts, that compression garment seems to be ineffective, although I just take the compression garment out while showering. But pull it back on immediately after removing.Im strapped all over but Isn’t It “over-compression?” I love the new body shape; So far! I hope the final result will be better . . .

Will keep more uptades! Hope my contours get more defined!
