3 months Post Op

WORTH IT
Hi! I'm back!! It's been 3 months since my liposuction and fat transfer! I'm very happy with my results! I have some work I need to do on my own to flatten my stomach but I like it! I started having pain in my buttocks a week ago, I hope it's because it's going to grow a little more????

Dr Hamel and staff were very friendly and kept me at easy! Some spots were more sensitive than others but he would numb it more!! I'm very happy

3 Weeks

Hi! I'm a little over 3weeks post op so I wanted to update you guys! The pain in my butt the 1st week 1/2 was so horrible :( Please take your pain meds lol!! Around the 2nd week the numbing meds from the liposuction in my stomach began to wear off :(!! I'm now having pain in my stomach & sides! I have these hard painful swollen lumps in my abdomen which is normal! It's just dead fat & fluid build up that have not flushed out yet! Also when moving the wrong way I have a burning sensation! When they tell you could be in pain and swollen up to 3 months ITS THE TRUTH!! I haven't seen anyone post about the aftermath & I wish someone had prepared me, so I thought I would you guys out!! Feel freee to ask me anything! Everyone be Blessed!! Pix coming soon

I'm pleased that you have started your journey. Did your doctor recommend compression garments & massage as part of your post op care?
Yes ma'am! He gave me a compression garment to wear 24/7 the first 2 wks! Now I only have to wear it 12hrs a day and I purchased a new garment! This one is more spandex & it has the holes cut out the butt cheeks
Great .... I was a bit worried, that your "lumps " "dead fat and fluid build up" could lead to problems. Please drink lots of water to help clear these waste products from your body, and help your liver. I had Vaser lipo 5 years ago, my doctor was very strict re follow up, it worked for me.
I'm glad your getting the results you want
Yes ma'am he informed me of drinking lots of water and i go once a week for heat therapy! Thanks for the the advice

Glad you're managing well through your recovery -- thanks so much for keeping your review updated.
