My hip incisions are definitely closing up and are pretty flat so it's kinda exciting to see that improve. The black stuff seems to be fading a bit and looks to not be getting any bigger. Which is good. Still just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best

Lipo of the flanks
Nessa89October 8, 2013
I did lipo to my flanks and I love how my dr gave me such an hourglass look. He lipo suctioned 1000ccs of fat which is equivalent to 2 liters. That's a whole lot from my hips!!

When you go on Monday for the drains if there is no change in your incision for the better ask him to explain to you in detail what is going on. Saying it is normal is not a response. I know we want results but we also want peace of mind. I think some PS forgets this. Speaking of results. . I love you hourglass shape.

I agree with CJD. Be specific - write it down before you go.
1. It would appear that it isn't normal for the wound to be open - WHY is it open?
2. When will the scar heal up properly?
3. Is there a risk of infection with an open wound?
4. Will the scar heal smoothly?
5. What is the a chance of necrosis?
6. what can the doctor do to monitor the situation?
Try and imagine what the responses may be and have a follow up to that.
Take a friend and role play it before you go.
This is your body and you deserve answers and respectful treatment.

My 1 week post op appointment
Nessa89October 8, 2013
So I saw my dr and he said I'm "healing beautifully" which I don't really know what to think. :-/ I'm trying to trust my dr but I'm just still unsure. When I went in I still had my surgical tape on and when he took the tape off I was kinda oozy in some areas and I asked if hang was normal and he said yes to just wash real good with antiseptic soap (which I bought yesterday) also I voiced how I thought I had an infection because I noticed green and yellow discharge from my belly button he said no I was fine. That it's normal. I also mentioned how I noticed "dark spots" and even don't blisters that looked similar to necrosis because I really think I have it. He asked me where I got this idea and I said the Internet. He actually got angry and told me to to google things because I will stress out and go crazy! Don't know what to think at this point. I would post pictures but I'm honestly embarressed. I still an wear gauze because I'm discharging and spot bleeding changing my bandages everyday. Still have the drains in but will be removed this Monday. Hoping for the best. This emotional rollarcoaster is the worst. :(
