So here it is 7 months after my operation and 'im not satisfied. My stomach nor my flanks are flat. I have a weird ripple in the middle of my stomach. Dr. Gordon told me to lose weight to fix it and well, I've lost weight and it still looks weird. Also, it doesn't look like he touched my flanks at all. I am kind of pissed that I spent 7k on this surgery and I will probably need a revision. I suggest you guys look for a different surgeon.

congratulations. so much improvement. Looks like we had lipo on the same day. I had my arms, flanks and bra area done. My PS told me to message myself. I have a lot of swelling and very little drainage, looks like I have to pee it out.
I'm trying to massage myself as well, but it kind of hurts when I do and I don't do it as often as I should. How is your recovery going?
oh and I didn't drain AT ALL, I didn't even drain right after surgery they said normally most people have a lot of fluid draining when they dress them and I had absolutely none
My PS said messaging would hurt, especially the first 2 days. It still hurts after5 days but that's probably b/c I wasn't aggressive enough as the doc told me to be! But I do my best! the PS is very pleased with my results. I asked him if he removed all of the excess fat( I didn't have a lot) and he said yes. But I don't see it yet. I hope it is b/c of the swelling.
I drained the first day or two. After that nothing worth mentioning.
My swelling dissipated very quickly but when i was super swollen i looked soooo big. My stomach is still swollen so im just waiting for it to subside and be extra flat
I did not have any drainages either. People are saying you have to pee it out
Your results are amazing. I need to work out more to get these results
Thank you! Im going to workout too i just want to lose weight overall
Me too
My procedure was July 11. How many liters did you have removed?
4 liters
Oh ok. I got 2 liters removed. I am still removed
Sorry I got 2 liters removed I am hoping to be flatter than ever
fingers crossed....swelling is a bxtch!
That sucks sigh. I want it gonec
Hey there. You look great. Congrats! I am considering abs lipo with Dr Gordon. Would you still recommend him? And how are you doing now since it's been a few Months? Are you happy? Can you please post a updated picture. Thank you!

So, I had liposuction completed 12 days and so far...
So, I had liposuction completed 12 days and so far I am loving my results. I had 4 liters of fat removed. The first few days were HELL. I pride myself on having a high tolerance of pain and being pretty strong and this procedure definitely humbled me. I had the procedure done and unfortunately, no one could spend the day with me so things did not go smoothly. I removed my garment to pee (I am an idiot and didn't realize it was crotch-less) and immediately got lightheaded. I almost fell in the bathroom, my ears started ringing, and I passed out. Eventually, I came to put the garment back on and took my meds. My swelling was horrendous and I was in significant pain the first 3 days and admittedly I was very emotional and had several outbursts. My cooch was the size of my head (my head is not small). I was unable to sit up or get out of bed by myself so I slept on the couch sitting up for 4 days. My garment didn't bother me so much but, I had to wear these clickers on my legs that basically hit my legs every 2 minutes to prevent blood clots....they were hella annoying and LOUD af. I had my first massage 5 days out with Ofelia at Muscle Relaxers in Buckhead (I thoroughly recommend her), after my massage I felt 20 times better. I have been able to sleep in my bed since my massage. My swelling has gone down alot and my bruising is pretty much completely gone however, I am still full of fluid and therefore significantly swollen. Dr Gordon says I look like I'm 4 weeks post up. I have been trying to eat right and limit my alcohol intake. I no longer take any pain meds but occasionally I take an ibuprofen to help with inflammation. The knots and itching have started but it's not too bed so far.
