WORTH IT$7,500
My recovery is still going well and in many ways it feels longer than 6 weeks ago since i had the procedure.
The incision just above my bum has finally healed, so as of yesterday im no longer using antibiotic cream, just bio oil now on all six incisions. I think the one that got infected and the two on my bikini line will always be visible, but im optimistic that the others will fade.
Since xmas day ive been removing the vest/binder for 12 hours a day (i.e. At night) without any issues. I have to be very careful about sitting when i dont have it on though or the compression garment digs in and causes lines across my mid section, which makes me look like a roast pork joint tied up with string!
My stomach is getting a little more definition week by week and although i havent measured my waist since the procedure i can tell by my clothes that ive lost several inches. The upper half of my abdomen is now almost soft, but the lower half still hard, which i like so im in no hurry for it to soften! Such a novelty having a rock hard stomach! The numbness in my lower back is reducing very slowly, as is the mottling on my sides.
We're going on a beach holiday in 4 weeks time, which will be two and a half months after the procedure. I plan to continue wearing the vest under my compression garment at night and just the garment during the day until then, after which time its bikinis all the way!!!

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! I had the best present ever: got to take the best off!! Woo hoo!!! For the first time since the procedure I felt slim and no longer look like robocop.
We've visited quite a few people over the Xmas period that hadn't seen me for a while and everyone has commented that I have 'lost weight' (which I have, but I do feel rather a fraud knowing that I've also had 3-4 litres sucked out).
I had an issue yesterday due to wearing tights. They left a deep indentation around my waist where they'd dug in and I was really worried I'd be stuck with it for good, but thankfully it had pretty much gone this morning after ten hrs in the vest.
The incision on my back still hasn't healed, still going with the antibiotic cream. Might have to go back to the doctor of it's not healed in a week I think.
Here are some pictures from a couple of days ago. As you can see, I got a pressure sore from lying awkwardly on the vest one night in bed, it rubbed the skin til it was sore. A bit of mottling still on the sides and my lower abdomen, lower back and waist sides are still hard and tender, but getting very slightly softer each day. Two and a half more weeks of the vest 12 hours a day (or night) and then I'll be free!

Your results look amazing. I'm going to consider Dr Raving for my back vaser.

I would absolutely recommend Dr Jain from my experience to date. Good luck!

Just a quick update as all generally going well. Two more days of wearing this vest 24/7 until I can drop down to just 12 hrs a day.
My stomach is looking great, I'm really pleased. It's flat, has a nice shape and the bruising has just about gone. I've got a few lumps and bumps, but nothing significant and the therapist says they'll go with time.
My flanks are still bruised and mottled and one side in particular feels hard and sensitive to the touch, but nothing troublesome.
I still have swelling and numbness in my lower back and the cannula incision got infected and became sore so I went to my doctor who gave me an antibiotic cream. I've been using it three times a day for the last couple if days and it's starting to look less inflamed.
Aside from that no dramas. I am even managing to sleep a bit more comfortably in the vest and the itching has calmed down quite a lot thankfully! Whatever you do, don't have this procedure in the summertime, that would be unbearable!
One of the things I'm most looking forward to about being able to take this vest off during the daytime is getting out of jogging bottoms. After almost three weeks in an elasticated waistband it will be great to feel like less of a slob! Jeans dresses and skirts here I come!!!
