Aqua lipo, breast lift, cavi lipo
its been awhile since I've posted an update. So here it goes...
On all the aqualipo work, I can definitely tell a difference but there are some problem areas. First, I don't think enough was taken out of my bra roll. But most importantly, my lower abs have excess skin now. And honestly, I didn't expect that to happen. When I was at my highest weight 7 years ago (180 lbs), I lost 40 lbs and did not have any loose skin anywhere. When I had the Aqua lipo, I weighed 175 but carried my weight in other areas this time (thighs). I definitely had a stomach, but it wasn't near as big as 7 years ago. So, again, I was expecting the loose, puffy skin. I absolutely hate the way it pooches out in my jeans now. It's so flabby and zero elasticity. It's just there.. Ugh.. I discussed both issues with my dr and he told me he would do a revision to my back and to fix the skin issue, I would need a tummy tuck. So, I have been heavily thinking about that. Too clarify one thing, there are 2 dr's in this office. One dr did my abs/love handles/bra roll. The other dr did the aqualipo on my inner/outer thighs and banana roll. He also did my natural breast lift. That dr is the one who told me that he would fix the other dr's procedure on my bra roll and he is the one who mentioned the tummy tuck as well. He also asked me if the other dr told me there was the possibility of loose skin due to stretch marks. I told him the other dr did not mention that to me. If he had, I would have rethought the procedure. I am happy with the aqualipo on my thighs. Only thing is that I can tell things aren't as tight. It's not saggy or loose skin. Just not firm anymore. But definitely my thighs are smaller.
So on to the breast lift review. I had my surgery on October 30. I am 2 1/2 months post op. The dr did a great job. Very natural looking but I had a trouble spot that took forever to heal due to all the tension in that spot. I wires 36dd and did not get a reduction. All the wounds have finally healed and my vertical scars look great. You can hardly see them and the skin is smooth. You can't feel the scars at all. The scars around my areolas still need to fade in some areas but overall it's doing well. The big scars are still on the underside of my breast in the anchor area. The area where I had the wound that took forever to heal is quite big but my dr said he would do a scar revision if needed but to wait 6-9 months to see how the scars look then. I am wearing the silicone sheets 24 hrs a day and change them every morning when I shower. I really do think that has helped lighten the scars a lot.
So as I've been contemplating the tummy tuck, I decided to wait several months and instead start back to the gym and try to focus on my abs. So starting at the beginning of January (2 weeks ago), I started doing Zumba and dance blast classes 5 days a week. During December, I did a lot of research on the ultrasonic cavi-lipo procedure. I went for a consult to primarily ask about my abs. I decided to give it a try but to start with my hips, as the aqualipo didn't touch that area. And the area I'm referencing is the hip part where low rise panties and string bikinis would be. I decided to wait until January to start that due to scheduling issues over the holidays. They recommended 12 sessions total. They are working with me on the payment which is nice. They consider the hips to be 2 areas, so their package of 12 treatments will cover 6 sessions for me. That package of 12 treatments cost $999. Total for 24 treatments (12 sessions) is $1998. I am doing the sessions 1 week apart. I went for my first session on jan 8. Today is Jan 13 and I can tell a difference. The tech is actually covering the area from my love handles down to my mid outer thigh. She told me that the cavi lipo would help on my saggy skin on my abs. So she used the ultrasound wand on my right lower abs for part of the session. My skin is tighter and firmer in all the areas she touched. I can even tell that my poochiness in my right ab area is less than before. Granted, it's still there but I can tell a difference. I feel that I also have a lot more of a defined curve in my waist area and that the initial area of my hips are smoother and slightly smaller, as are my thighs. I have to say that I am really impressed with it so far. Not sure if you can tell from the collage pictures between the 2nd and 3rd pictures. But I can.
I'm posting some pics of my progression (before any surgery, after breast lift and Aqua lipo, and then today after 1 cavi lipo treatment). I also including some breast lift scar and wound pics so everyone can see what I'm talking about.
