You look great. How long before lumpiness and bloating disappeared after surgery? Did you do anything to help with those issues?
September 10, 2016
Time took away the bloating... my result are great... but I still have to hold my stomach in to get the perfect flat stomach look... girls who have a perfectly flat stomach after surgery without having to hold it in had either a tummy tuck or aggressive lippo. I had just lippo, Dr Macklin is not going to get all the fat due to the risk of developing lumps, because of aggressive fat taking... my doctor explained to me my stomach would be flater but not perfect due to possible risk he can and would only take so much... a small amount diet and exercise got me the rest of way and i do mean small. ... in about 2 months 80 % of swelling gone, i was working out in about 2 months, but again, i do and still experience bloating week before my cycle.

I am passed my 3 months and still have spots that painful and swelling after long day on my feet. My stomach is flat when I get uo in the morning. I am concerned about lumps because I was skinny (102 lbs) when I got Lipo on my stomach. I hope that swelling will be gone soon and I will have a grear result like you. Thank you for sharing and reply.

My flanks/waist and back look great. My stomach is still swollen; Smaller then before but still swollen. It's still puffy, but if I hold my stomach in it looks good...lol. I look great in clothes with my waist trainer. For 28 days out, I am pleased enough. Can't wait to see where I am at next month. Will post pictures soon.

Still very swollen and puffy but can definitely see the difference. Only 7 days, I still have long way to go but I am very happy. Healing is apart of the journey.

You look fantastic! Especially for being only 7 days post. As the swelling goes down you will see even more improvement, I think you will be very happy with your results.

Thank you so much for commenting...I hope it continues to look better, lol....because I am very swollen and still sore. I am in good spirit and going Monday to get my first massage. It's my understanding there expensive ($60 to $85) but it will speed up recovery time by 40 to 60 %... I was told I would need 4 to 5 sessions, but the first one is free. Dr. Maclin ensured me this procedure was not necessary but effective, FYI.
