13 Weeks Post Op

Well it's been 3 months since my surgery. I haven't posted in a while because I couldn't get accurate pictures. I started an excercise program as soon as the doctor cleared me. The excercise has helped me tone up but it also creates swelling and right after my tummy swells right above my scar and my thighs swell where I had the lipo. The doctor says this is normal and I figure excercise is good even if I get some swelling. I am very happy with my results but I'm still frustrated that my thighs aren't more even. I had them done to help get my right thigh the same size as the left. The doctor says that since my right one had more work it will have more swelling which will take longer to go down. I'm going to give it a full 6 months. Not sure if this is a result of my muscles versus fat. Time will tell. I haven't really lost much weight, maybe 4-5 pounds but my body fat has dropped 3-4 percent. This is a combo of the lipo, excercise and eating. After age 37 it seems a switch came on that told my body to never allow weight to come off. It used to be so easy to lose weight. I guess my focus should be on not being thinner but building muscle.
I'm posting 3 sets of pics. The ones in the blue bikini are from 29 days post op. The ones in the black bra and underpants are from 6 weeks post op and the ones in workout leggings and top are from 13 weeks post op.

Feeling Great!

I'm feeling so good. My scar is healing great and I love that my bikini covers it up. My bikinis are low cut too. I still have a bit of swelling in my lower belly, hips and lower back. I can see improvements in my inner thighs and maybe some on my outer. I feel I'm finally to the point I can change my rating from " not sure" to " worth it"!

Dr Vogel's office is beautiful and inviting. His initial consultation was so thorough and informative. His staff is amazing. I just felt like this was the doctor and office that would fit me.
