43, Mom of 3, Helping out my Hard Work with Some Lower Body Lipo. - Pasadena, CA

Good to compare how much bulk is now gone with this before picture.

Okay, so today is the first day that I feel good, like back to normal. No pain, Normal energy. Did not take any pain meds for the last 3 days. I am post op day 20 today. I know some people feel so good so much sooner. Maybe it's my age, maybe because I did have a lot of fat removed or maybe it was the stomach flu that knocked me out Monday and Tuesday. Anyway so so happy right now. Things are shaping up. The bruising is so much less, almost gone. I have been sleeping without the garment for the last 2 nights. Planning to wear it during the day for at least 12 weeks. Did some light treadmill on Monday before I got sick and a short walk with the dog yesterday evening when I was feeling better. I am dying to get back in the gym and do some more vigorous workouts. I miss sweating. All the parts that I wanted gone are gone and my legs and hips are looking just as I hoped. I still don't like the look (bruising) and feel ( numbness/tingles) of my bare skin, but sleeping without the garment is helping with that.

Okay so I had my first treatment today. This was for post op swelling and bruising, not the same hand piece or strength that they use for cellulite. It was really to get the circulation going and more in line with lymphatic massage. It felt great, nothing really painful, but tingles. Once I got up from the treatment (whole body with focus on my treated areas) I felt beyond great. No pain, no stiffness, really the best I have felt since surgery. It was amazing. The lady that I saw really knows what she is doing and works with lots of plastic surgeons in Los Angeles. She is extremely knowledgeable, very skilled and gives that extra TLC that we all need in this early recovery stage. The facility was beautiful and very private. She has seen it all as far as post op plastic surgery and is just a pro. I am so glad that I found her. If you are in Los Angeles you can check her out at Endomologie by Pamela Lee on the web. She has some amazing pictures of how this treatment helps with post op bruising and swelling. I am planning to go 2 times per week. I will update on how things look as far as the bruising, but I just felt so so good after the treatment. If I get hard spots or lumpiness then I plan to continue my treatments for that. Drinking tons of water to enhance the treatment and flush out whatever needs to flush out. I highly recommend this.
