7.5 Month Update!

Sorry it's been so long! I'm really excited to update this review because my results are AMAZING! My scarring is minimal, and still going down. Sensitivity in my inner thighs lasted about 5 months, but is gone now. I'm still exercising and eating healthy. I'm uploading some photos that will be self explanatory.

Measurement Transformations:

Thighs: 1 inch smaller on both!----22.5" before, 21.5" after
"Love Handles": 3.5 inches smaller!!!!----37" before, 33.5" after
Waist: 1.5" smaller!----29.5" before, 28" after

And this was totally unexpected, but my BREASTS grew an inch from 34" to 35"! I would not expect this for your results, but it is definitely a bonus!

It's been a great journey and I sincerely hope everyone who has this procedure done has the kind of experience that I've had from beginning to end!

THANK YOU DR. BENSIMON FOR MAKING A DREAM COME TRUE!

4 weeks post-op update

Today marks 4 weeks since I had my procedure. I'm healing up well! The only pain is a slight stinging when I touch the lumps on my left side, but they have gone down quite a bit. Almost all my swelling and lumps is gone on my right side. I assume this is because I sleep on my side so it's slightly uneven, BUT it doesn't LOOK uneven, it just feels uneven, which should go away completely within 6 months. I've been running an average of 3 miles every day and began some muscle work today, but nothing vigorous. I'm still losing some weight, which is partially due to getting really active again, and also due to less fluid retention.

So far I've lost THREE inches on my hips! That's 1.5" more than at 2 weeks post-op, so if you just had your procedure I think you will be happy to hear that you can continue to get smaller over time. I'm not sure when it will stall but I'll update this again in a couple more weeks or so and take measurements again.

Good luck everyone!

I took my post-op measurements today! AMAZING...

I took my post-op measurements today! AMAZING results so far even though I'm still a little swollen! My lumps have gotten better too, thanks to my hubby massaging them!

Hips are 1.5" smaller
Waist is 1" smaller
Thighs are each 1/2" smaller

I got my second stage garment in the mail today and I get to go jogging tonight for the first time since surgery! Soooo excited! :)

I'll probably post another update at 4 weeks. Good luck everyone!
