33Y, 5'8" 160 Lb 28%BF Vaser Liposuction to Thighs, Flanks, Banana Roll

Started back light light cardio at 2 weeks. Only one incision was slightly giving pains, but this is a super easy recovery. Sorry for out of order pics.

Everything seems to be healing well. Pain is minimal, other than my IV location vein which is killing me. I haven't tried on clothes since the changes are subtle and it's not like my clothes are going to magically fit better while I'm swollen and in these garments. That said, I'm happy with the curvature adjustments. $10k happy? I hope I'll get there. I'm definitely $5k happy now.

I know inner and outer thighs can take a while, and I'm willing to be patient :-) 2 L should show some difference. I just can't wait to get back in the gym and get some bootie gains again! Looking so flat.

I had this review in Vaser Liposuction but am moving it to regular liposuction.

Surgery was pretty easy with only extreme burning post-op for about 2 hours. Not even fentanyl took the edge off, really. Since then, I was off Percocet on post op day 1, bruising is minimal. 

I am a very active weight lifter and boxer. Pre-op I sat at 28% overall body fat and 160 lbs, gaining about 20 lbs in last couple years despite large amounts of exercise. For reference, I deadlift about 300 lb and bench 60 lb dumbbells, so lots of muscle. I get regular DEXA scans which place my trunk body fat around 23% and hips around 33%, which is why I ended up going for lipo. I really wanted to feel better in my clothes.

The banana roll area is tricky but I trusted my surgeon, who I've used before, to contour it well. I had 2 L removed and no drains.
