WORTH IT$5,300
hello, i had my smart lipo done on the chin and tummy area yesterday at 9am under twighlight anaesthesia. im 5'1, and 140lbs, and i have 2 adorable kids aged 7 and 1.
i cant remember anything during the procedure. all i remember was my anaesthesiologist inserted an IV to me and ask if im okay then thats it! hehe. when i opened my eyes, there were 4 containers of fats in front of my bed, and i was like, OMG, it's over :) without any pain or anything.
today is my day 1, i still feel dizzy and i threw up twice already. (after breakfast, and while my eversupportive mom and sister were helping me put my undergarments.
i saw lumps in my tummy area but the doctor said its normal... my pubic area is swollen too. i didnt take off the foam under my chin coz the doctor advised me to just leave it there for 3 days for support, but changed the gauze on the incision sites...
here's the photo i took before i left the house yesterday, and my day 1 post op :)

im on my 1 week now... still so swollen at the pubic area. i find it hard to get in and outta bed.
had my free ultrasound yesterday and the nurse told me that swelling will continue up to 3weeks :(
also there's so much pain on my ribcage (?) sorry for my english coz its not my first language.
Nurse even told me not worry too much if she weigh me and i gain weight coz its just because of the swelling and fluids inside me.
good news is that when they weigh me i lost 2kilos or 4.4lbs :)
i also lost 3 inches off my bra line, 4inches on waist, and 3 inches off my love handles :)
pics seen here are from my 5day post op.
the line on my waist is just a line caused by my CG.

Hi Honey! I just had three areas done on June 22, 2016 Upper/lower abs and flanks. I am18 days out post op. I am still very sore. I have no feeling in my lower abs. It is a numbness but it is sore to touch. My ribs...well they are killing me. Although the swelling is done on the outer flank area, I can still early see my belly button, and that whole area is lumpy and bumpy and like I said the skin is so sore to touch,I can't even imagine massaging these areas, at least not yet. I also still have aline on my waist. I find that rubbing the Arnica Gel on all of these areas, frequently throughout the day helps. As the day goes on the selling comes back. The worst of it is below my poor little belly button and swelling goes from hip to hip, I feel like I have a spare tire and its pretty ugly too! Its a lumpy bumpy spare tire and the right side seems to be more dominant as it is worse on the right side.
CG causes a lot of pain...some nights I sleep with it others I don' because it hurts so much from wearing it all day. I try my best to wear it more than 12 hours but its hard to do. I am a teacher so maybe when I go back to work in couple of weeks I won't be so inclined to want to tear it off. Please keep in touch with me over time. I need a penal so to speak as we go through this together. Are procedures were done relatively around the same time.

i still continue using my CG for 12hrs. i wear it at night. so far im very much happy with the result! i can see my curves now eventhough my tummy is still swollen (?) ...
from day 8 after the major swelling subsided, bumps/lumps started showing. i can also feel the tightness (feels like i have an elastic band tied around my waist area) . sorry for my english hehe....
hardness starts when i walk, sit, or do something . pain is tolerable..
attached are my day 13 post op pic and my pre op pic....
i also showed parts of my chin now for you to see the result of my chin lipo :)
