Still a little sore today but all in all I feel pretty good. My doctor's office just sent my before pics so I will be posting them soon. I took my measurements and I'm down about an inch and a half off of each thigh, an inch on my waist and my weight is down to 170. Everything else stayed about the same but I can definitely see a difference on my thighs and next which were the 2 areas that really bothered me.

Thank you so much for your excellent information. I am worried about the pain through you were talking about. I don't have a high tolerance for pain. For some reason I cannot see the pictures either so I can only go on what you are writing. You seem to weight the same, 170, which is my weight as well. Please continue to post so I can know if I am going to do this or not. God Bless you and I am happy all is going well for you!

You're welcome! I will be posting more pics next week. I haven't had a chance to take any new ones yet and also wanted to wait for more swelling to go down. Yes, it is painful but there is a light at the end of the tunnel so you just keep focusing on that. Time flies by too and just follow docs orders and take your pain meds :) I'm not totally 100% sure if it was worth it yet (too soon to make that call) but judging from my neck results it was. I would cringe when I looked in the mirror and I feel SO much better about myself now! Good luck and God bless you too!

Hi kat3hay, I did post a side by side of my neck (profile) before and after but maybe it's hard to tell?? I will be updating my before and after pics at my 6 week mark which is next Tuesday :)

I wanted to thank you for your review. You and I are the same age (I am 49) and the same weight (I'm 172.) I'll be giving myself an early 50th birthday present of a facelift and lipo on June 25. Some people seem to bounce right back from the lipo and some take longer. I'm expecting my experience will be closer to yours so I will keep following your review. Good luck!

You're welcome and good luck to you! I swear, I really thought it wasn't going to be too bad pain wise but unfortunately it was (also could be the areas I got done are more sensitive?) :( But that's ok, the time flies by! Just take your pain meds (I also too lots of extra vitamins to help the healing process), drink lots of liquids and follow docs instructions. I highly recommend getting some Arnica -- my bruises went away really fast (all thingsconsidered). All the best to you for your surgery and I'll be looking forward to reading your review!

Hi! Well, I see *some* difference but not a lot. I haven't had a chance to get someone to take some proper after pics. I'm sure if I compare them to my before pics there will be some noticeable change but it's not huge as of right now. I wanted to give this until the 3 month mark to really judge it.

Today marks the 2 week point. I am feeling much better and my energy level is pretty much back to normal. We did a yard sale over the weekend and I felt fine (I thought it was going to wipe me out!). I still have numbness on my back and under arms and some pain on the back of my thighs but I know that's all normal at this stage. My right hip still REALLY burns if I slide across the bed or rub it on something. I think that's normal? I'm loving my results so far. I see a difference in my chin and finally starting to see a difference in my thighs. My only concern is, I have been really eating bad the past week. I think I'm letting my guard down because I look slimmer (if that makes sense?). I need to be conscious of that and be careful I don't undo all the work that was done (not to mention the money and the pain I went through!!)
My only complaint is that I have had NO follow up care AT ALL! My doctors office as not called to check up on my nor did the surgery center. I'm very disappointed in that. I also asked the gal at my doc's office to send my before pics and to give me a quote for Lipo on upper /lower abs and nothing! That was a week and a half ago :(

I feel much better today! The swelling is starting to go down. My waist went down and an inch and I went down by an in on each thigh (that's all I measured). I put on my high waisted spanx mid-thigh shaper and my spanx leggings over that and it feels really good. I actually went to the store wearing them (something I would have NEVER done!) and had a couple of guys check me out ha ha ;) I still have a long way to go but I'm happy to see a little progress today.
