Two plus years post op going back in for tummy and flanks lipo

So, it's been an interesting two years since my BBL. One thing is for sure, the donk is here to stay!!
I haven't been good at all about eating right though, and it's catching up with me quickly.
So I'm going back to Dr. T for sone tummy and back lipo (and maybe add a little more volume to the bottom of my butt cheeks).

I'll let you know when I'm scheduled!!

2 Weeks post op!

I'm healing really well, no drains were used and two tiny incision marks are barely visible. Finally having proper(ish) bowel movements now that I'm off prescription pain killers. I went back to work (I'm in construction and design) about a week post op, but it's hard to take it easy like I know I should be.
Feeling super tight and hard in certain areas of lower back and lower abdomen, but gently massaging myself with lotion really helps. Hubby is happy to help with massages too ;) Also stretching as often as possible and swimming.
I've gone through 3 compression garments so far. The first one from doc became super loose within 3 days post op. I got a size smaller, which lasted another 5 or 6 days, and finally bought a Fajate brand one with cheeks out (I had to cut the holes bigger, lol). Still not sure if I like that one, but I'm super picky. So I use all three depending on how I'm feeling that day and on how much strenuous activity I will be doing.

1 week post op

Hi y'all! It's been a long and crazy week but I made it!
I wanted to stay home and rest and all that good ish, but I have a couple of work projects that needed my attention, so I was back at work on Monday (3 days post op!) The pain meds got me through the day, but I had my husband and kids massaging me when I got home from the soreness of running around all day (I'm a designer/construction project manager).
Nonetheless, I feel healthy and strong.

Had my post op visit on Wednesday the 24th, got stitches out, brought a fruit/chocolate basket for the Dr. office :)
Bought a tighter compression garment from Dr. and a Fajate one with open butt check holes, but there's no way my new a** will fit in those tiny holes!! What do I do?!
Here's a few more pics. Xoxo
