Liposuction (Belly and Thighs); Fat Transfer (Face) - 46yo, No Kids, 6ft;, 193lbs. Paris, FR

2 weeks and, if I had to vote today, I would say NOT worth it.
Weeks #1's main problem = extreme constipation. Extreme.
Week #2's = bloating and the garments - so uncomfortable and tight that I can't sleep without a sleeping pill.
Body: I can't tell much difference in my body - it just looks like I've been wearing compression garments and eating reasonably healthy for a couple of weeks. I still have bruises (less) and bloating. I am not posting body pics - just like last ones but bruising is somewhat less.
Face: I was initially happy with my face - it looked Ike I was going to have great cheeks and lips once the swelling went down but when it did, it went down so much that I can't really tell I had the transfer.
However, I DID ask for very subtle changes - just as if I had gotten a good rest (that's how you know you are getting old - you always look tired no matter what, right?). And I asked for modest lipo - just to smooth out the bumps. I know changes may be subtle or slow....that this may be part of the whole psychological process (what did I just do to my body? Why did I spend this money? I don't think it worked!) ...so I am reserving judgment until later.

Day 7 and I hadn't had a bowel movement since surgery! Prob TMI, but make sure you have laxatives on hand if your doctor doesn't give you anything. My POST surgery research indicates this is a common side effect. I was SOOOO miserable in my garments! My doctor got me in and a couple laxatives and diuretics later, I got over it. I finally feel like I've turn the corner and things are downhill from here. I still have black eyes and bruising on thighs but it is less. I can see results in my face - subtle, but that this what I wanted. Body is less noticeable, but some, but getting better. Fingers cross! Thanks for encouragement! Am posting Day 7 face pics. Including my neck showing chin lipo and healing around fat transfer to my old scar. No body pics - pretty much same as last time just less bloated.

Feeling frustrated with recovery. Swelling goes up and down. Had my garments off to wash them (wish I would have bought 2nd pair) and I swelled up. I was already convinced they were not cut well for tall/ long torso people (am 6' and it just reaches the bottom of my ribs). Garments have been really uncomfortable since putting them back on. Lips are really swollen (my husband called them Bart Simpson lips), chin and cheeks are unevenly swollen and things are just generally bruised and tender. Logically, I know this is all to be expected but it can get to you after a few days of laying in bed and relying on others. Am posting Day 6 photos - they aren't pretty but they are the reality. I am including a view of my neck that I didn't post pre-op. I had a thyroid cyst removed at age 11 (35 years ago) that left me with a long scar and indentation from bone removal - causing me to have an Adam's apple look. The doctor injected fat into the indentation and at points along the scar hoping to smooth it out. She wasn't able to smooth it as much as she wanted, she said post surgery, but it is better.
Now going to binge watch The Unbreakabke Kimmy Schmidt to cheer myself up.....
