Hey ladies -
Hope this note finds you well. I'm totally healed from the lipo. I still have some scars on my boobs. I haven't been diligent with putting cream on - I'll get back on it to help.
I do need to do a revision. On my boobs - just a little lipo on the side where my extra boobs are. LOL. I can post pics of those if anyone wants to see them.
Still pleased with the lipo. It's funny because I still have body issues. Bit when I see pictures of before and today I'm amazed.
Any questions let me know.
Be well.

Looks great! Definitely see the smoothness and notice a difference.

You look great! Curious if you took anything prior to surgery. Iron pills, vitamins, arnica?
November 4, 2016
Hi. Yes. I took Arnica before and after. Honestly, not sure if it helped. I bruised a lot on my breasts and belly. It went away pretty quickly. I did wear the body compression thing day and night. Even when my dr told me I could go 12 hours on and 12 off I just felt more comfortable with it on. I wore it like 8 weeks straight. Haha.

I'm thinking I may do the same. I'm having surgery (Lipo) on Tuesday and I'm nervous. Moreso for the pain factor and worries about excessive swelling. I'm having inner and outer thighs, flanks, back. Procedure should take just around 5 hours under local and I'm kinda nervous about the time passing too with just local but I hear recovery is easier.
November 4, 2016
Good luck!!!!! I didn't do my thighs, but I would like to LOL I did belly, flanks (best thing ever!!!!!). I was under general because I also had a breast reduction. Stick with the pain meds. Don't be a hero. Take them consistently every 4 hours or whatever they say for the first few days. After day 3 it gets easier. But there will be pain. It's like having a kid though - painful, but then you forget and it's worth it.
I would do it again for sure. The leaking is weird, so don't be freaked out about that, but on me it only lasted a day.
Good luck with local. I never have any issues with that stuff, so I wasn't worried. You won't have to deal with the recovery from the general, so that is good! Let me know how it goes. Good luck!!!!!!!

I made it! Actually used general. I'm just groggy, tired and sore probably where the small incision marks are near my c-section. I'm sure I will be more sore tomorrow but glad now it's over and I'm not a bottle of nerves hahaha!

I'm so glad!!!!! Take good care of yourself. And give it a few days before you judge your body. It takes time to heal. I was swollen awhile.

Without a garmet
I'm at week 3 and officially I can do my garmet 12 hours off/ 12 hours on. I'm sooooo nervous. I feel like the garmet holds me together. And I'm working today in the office. Crap. Wish me luck.

good luck!!! it'll be weird, but embrace it girl! i think we're just so used to our bodies spilling out when we take things off, but that's not going to happen anymore!

Get some spanx or something similar but just not super tight. It will help greatly. Hang in there!

I've heard and seen results from alot of Drs and some of the best Drs, they say to wear the garmets for 3 months. I have the colombiana faja, and a spanks, I also wear still the wrap around faja on the waist switching them out. I've seen many people stop wearing the faja shortly after surgery and the results are not as good as they were hoping or some swell or get seromas.
July 4, 2016
I'm wearing it 12 hours a day per my surgeons instructions. The results are the same, the garmet helps reduce swelling. I'm doing well and very pleased with my results. Down 10 lbs and 10 inches. As long as my PS is giving me instructions and I'm following - things are good!!!
