Swelling after 2nd treatment
untitled-prod-video-659401-id-63990
Pics I forgot to attach to my 2nd treatment post. The swelling is unreal. I can’t even walk straight. I’ve never seen anything like this. Far worse than the first round. This is the first time I have been considering not getting dose #3 and I’ve already paid for it.
Today I got the 2nd treatment
Omg! Today I got the 2nd treatment and the bruising and swelling was almost immediate this time. I cannot even describe the swelling. It’s like a massive bubble on thighs. I can’t even sit or walk straight because the weight of the swelling (no exaggeration)! See pics just hours after 2nd dose injections.
Bruising and Lumps Oh My!!
I got Qwo about 1.5 weeks ago. I got a double dose (24 injections per side) on my butt and backs of thighs. Pics attached week one after my first treatment (of three). Price was $5k for me because I got double dose (otherwise $2,500k total for all three treatments).
My initial review is:
BRUISING
the bruising is more than I thought. I also didn’t realize how inconvenient it would be, you literally can’t wear anything but leggings. Makeup doesn’t cover anything at all. It’s gonna be like this for weeks. Highly recommend waiting til fall/winter. This is really hard to deal with. Especially if u do any of the thighs, you simply can’t hide it.
PAIN
Pain was worse than expected. Was told it was painless, but that was a lie LOL. The pain during procedure was certainly painless, but the swelling and tenderness after (which started within about 4 hours) was horrible!! I couldn’t sit or sleep on my sides or back. My thighs were about 1 inch wider on each side from swelling. It looked like I had saddle bags. The thighs definitely hurt worse than the butt, especially the lower the injection site. I’m 9 days out and it still hurts to sleep on my side.
LUMPS/NODULES
These are really tender and of course I have so many of them because I got (48 injection sites - 24 per each side)! They feel gross and disgusting. Creepy. Like marbles under your skin. They are hard nodules. They honestly are making this worse.
So far not sure if worth it, guess we’ll see. Shouldn’t have done it in the summer (regret that). Most of the initial smoothing or “results” people see are from swelling only. It’s gonna be months before you can actually evaluate the effectiveness or if it was worth it.
