Just had my one month review, last Saturday.

All went well, Dr Bassi and Mags pleased with the result as am I.

Pretty much all back to normal now, so anyone reading this I think it takes around a month for your body to heal up. Not just external healing, but internal too from the prodding and poking of the procedure.

I think the last two weeks I've basically felt a little "tight" around the incision points, but now they've healed its all good and full range of motion is back.

I can recommend both doctors, both approachable and helpful. Maintained a professional and yet relaxed atmosphere. The entire team have been great, and so far so good.

Feeling ok now. Starting to show yellow bruising, but that will fade of soon. I've not taken any codeine/paracetamol tablets yesterday or today. I've tried to keep them to a minimum, as people have reported on other blogs that they can bung you up, which is then a problem in itself.

Slept fine last night, and only slight ache from near arm pits. They do ache a little bit, but thats to be expected I guess due to the prodding and poking of what I've had done.

Work next week is casual clothing, but going to try putting a fitted T-shirt under a work shirt to see if it hides the black compression belt and smoothes out the lines of the armour that it feels like I'm wearing.

I think I'd always suggest having a few days off, I've had 4 rest days including the weekend and whilst I could have worked, and I've been active and doing things whilst I've been off its been good to relax, and if you have a bad nights sleep from aching it doesn't matter.

Just a quick comment Huntvas . Are you actually wearing a bullet proof vest or not ?? I really do not understand what type of,garment you are wearing as it should be a maximum compression garment UNDER a normal surgical compression vest ? Is this what you are doing or is this some type of other clothing ? Please advise as I I am having the most rouble with the garments rather than the surgery itself ! Thanks :)

Haha, not fully bullet proof but feels like it under my shirt. Basically I have a compression garment on, and then my Dr. provided the black belt. Its stretchy and has velcro on one end. So that goes over the compression garment and gives extra stability and pressure. I've been instructed to wear it for another few weeks. Under a polo shirt you can't see it, but it does give a little extra bulk. So I have two things on in terms of compression and then a normal shirt. Is that helpful? I also had two foam inserts until today, and the black belt helped press those too. But now I'm free of those.

You can look forward to some easier compression garments at two weeks, just got my t-shirts from www.equmen.com , they are like the new style rugby shirts with compression ability, a lot more comfortable :). I am out of the bullet proof now- surgery was two weeks ago tomorrow . Hope everything works out and you keep on improving as I hope to do so as well. Cheers

Hi Sherlock Have your found your sides tender? Near the incision points and down? I am, I think it may be my body healing from the surgery but just wondered. Thanks Rob I tried on of those tops a year or so ago, and also from Pelham and Strutt. They suited me better as not quite so long in the body.

To be honest my sides are tender anyway due to training, I started back in the gym after week 2. My incisions are generally healing well but one of them in my armpit is slightly infected. Very tender under the pecs along the rib cage line , but hey ho very happy i am out of the bullet proof vest :) - great garments - www.equmen.com

Oh p.s. guys- I recently created a forum post in the main liposuction community for all the men- you can check it out and talk to each other there.  I'm hoping it will be a great place for all the men to connect and support each other/answer questions/etc:

I'm good thanks. Had a few aches from the compression but all going really well. Skin settled well and only a little bit bruised now. Not long now for you?

Friday massage with Mags

Slight trepidation, as it is billed as a painful process. I arrived, and Mags began with the ultrasound machine. Basically it didn't hurt at all. Not even slightly, which I was surprised about and so was Mags.

I took a codeine/paracetamol tablet an hour before, so that probably helped but it was fine. Relaxing and felt good.

Dr Bassi popped in to check on my incisions and progress, and everything looks good. He helps me make the foam inserts which help with the overall shape as I'm pretty crap at making or drawing anything.
