I had my surgery done at elite body sculpture in NYC. You know that place where they announce the lunch time lipo. I honestly regret having this done what was suppose to be minimal and not invasive due to the new technology they use. I'm a swollen and bruised mess. I can't go back to work until I'm 100% since I work with severely disabled children. I had lipo of the abs, flanks and bra roll with fat transferred to the buttocks.

I'm a ball of nerves a complete mess. I weighed 121lbs before the procedure I weighed myself today and weigh 128.9lbs My whole body hurts from the swelling, I hate having to depend on my son to pick things up for me. I've always been miss independent and to depend on anyone sucks. I've cried a bunch of times today. I hope this gets better soon. I don't know how much more I can take. I've showered and can't reach my back to clean the lines on my back. The puncture holes were suppose to be small like a freckle they seem huge right now. I called the doctor to see if I could start Lympathic drainage massages he said I can start tmw. They also say I don't need a compression garment after 2 weeks. I don't know if that is right or not? I feel i might need it but a different one then the one they gave me. I can't wait to see some type of difference. Because at this point I'm beginning to regret it.

Did you do any research at all? Miss blah blah blah maybe, no sympathy here! Did you think you would be pain free? No swelling? And ready for the disco? I had abdominal liposuction w facial grafting, a mastoplexy and a belly button created. My breasts will be beautiful, my face is swollen and a bit bruised, I have no pain in my liposuction belly. Change your attitude towards the elective procedure you chose and the reality of self imposed trauma and the recovery process . I was post op 3/30/16. I'm excited and confident that my outcome will be fantastic. Sorry you should probably consider other treatments in the future

Funny how you just joined this page and have so much to say. You have no posts no comments aside from mines and no questions. Look below on my feed for your reply and have a great day.

Don't worry, you're just swollen with water retention. Don'y weigh yourself for a few weeks. I promise you it is normal to weigh more AFTER lipo from swelling. But your weight will go back to normal soon.

Thank you, I was told I would have minimal swelling and bruising since it was a new advanced treatment. (Air sculpture laser ) Guess they were wrong.

For your information I researched this for close to a year. I researched not only the method but the doctor. I was told one thing during office visits which was I would have minimal swelling and bruising due to the air sculpture lipo being new and advanced. I also let the office know my line of work needs me to be at 100% to even go back to work which they reassured me that I would be fine after 1 week. It's 4 days today. I Can't even sit or stand for long period without swelling further. I knew there would be pain obviously but wasn't expecting it to be this bad since according to the office people go back to work in 3 days. Not my case.
Disco? lol who even goes to those anymore
This forum is for women to journal their experiences thru plastic surgery if you have nothing informative to say you should stay off.

Thank you for your feedback. Swelling is typically at its maximal points 2 days postoperative, this is from the fluid that we use to number the areas. Our company policy is compression garment for a total of 2 weeks. If you require an additional compression garment feel free to contact us.

I also did not post MY JOURNEY on this forum to be judged. I paid money for a service and was not happy with it. I was told my skin would be tightened and it's loose to the point where I've already consulted with a BOARD CERTIFIED SURGEON!!! Which this doctor that did my surgery is not ( since it's a local anesthetia procedure they're not required to be board certified) just in case you have a opinion on that too
