Well hello there...I'm a 44 year old avid...
$5,025
Well hello there...I'm a 44 year old avid exerciser and mother of 2 amazing daughters ages 25 & 8!! Look don't judge me okay, LOL when I delivered my first daughter at age 19 I was able to bounce back to my pre-pregnancy weight with NO problems. It wasn't until I delivered my youngest daughter via C-section that I started to struggle with my post pregnancy weight especially my belly fat! My oldest daughter wrote a song about my belly fat titled "rebound", LOL! My family knows how much I have struggled for years to loose the belly fat from around my abdomen, sides, back & thighs--the time is near!
Finally!! I am less than a month away from my Tumescent Liposuction! I extensively researched for a good surgeon and I found Dr. Kenrick Spence at Hillcrest Aesthetic Institute in Orlando FL. His office has the BEST staff ever! They're all so friendly and ultra professional they really CARE about his patients.
My procedure is set for June 5 and I am overly excited & so grateful at the same time! I know my God will be with me in the surgery room as well as my handsome Hubby.
Along with my Tumescent Liposuction I will be having fat grafting to my breasts. My goal is to avoid a breast lift and get some much needed volume added to each breast for a natural augmentation. I'm so ready to see my results and maybe go bra-less on somedays-YAY!
My concerns about the procedure is the pain & bruising on my body. How long does the pain last? Also the compression garment must be worn for 24/7 the first 2 weeks then every day for the next 4 weeks. Does the CG really help with the swelling?
Thanks guys for all the support & feedback. If it weren't for you guys I wouldn't know half of what I know today! Thanks again & I will keep everyone posted on my progress.
If anyone have suggestions or successful surgery tips for either procedure please do share because the more info we share with each other the quicker we recover. Thanks again & keep winning!!

Well you're a couple of days post op and how do you feel? you and I have similar body types and I'm now a month post op and still having mixed feelings on my lipo results. I know it's only been a month and it's a process so try and not to be discouraged it's hard.

Hey Jazmine, things are going good so far! I'm in the healing phase now and still have quite a ways to go with swelling. I finally stopped leaking like a faucet on Friday yay!! I will post pics next week when I'm one week post op, Do you still where your CG?

I'm so glad to hear you're doing well, that 1st week post op can be rough. Yes I wear my CG all the time except when I go to bed. My doc said that was ok and it gives me some relief from all that compression when I'm trying to sleep. They say to wear it for 6 weeks as that's how long it takes for your body to do most of the initial healing.

1 week post op Lipo/Fat transfer @ Breasts
Well I'm so excited for my progress so far! On last Wednesday I had about 1 liter of fat taken from my abdomen, flank & back areas and then 500cc transferred to each breast. Before my breast augmentation I was a saggy 36D & I pray once the selling is gone that I be a perky 36DD! As of now, I'm experiencing mild to moderate pain with moderate bruising. What has helped with the pain/bruising in addition to the pain meds is the Bromelain & Arnicare. I actually started taking them 3 days before my surgery and will continue 7 days after surgery. I'm excited to see my results within the next 4 weeks once the swelling is gone! I have decided to make my CG my best friend in order to get the best outcome even though its uncomfortable to wear. Thanks real self community if you guys have any pointers or suggestions for me please let me know. Also how long was it before you returned to your regular exercise routine? I love to Zumba and I really miss my Zumba family!

I'm gald to hear you're doing great. however realistically the swelling can take 2 months or more to completely go away. My doc said light cardio at 4 weeks, then full cardio at 5 and full excerise routine at 6 weeks. however i'm only 5 weeks post op now and i see him tomorrow. as much as i want to work out i'm still tender and know that i shouldn't push it. you may want to double check with your doc.
