I am not happy with lack of results at this time. Still having deep soreness and some swelling at times. Saw Dr 2 days ago. My after pix actually look worse and very misshaped on my left side. He says I'm very fibrous and need to massage area daily to pull apart the fibers... Will follow up in 6 weeks. Right now I look worse for sure, because before I was just round and fat, now I'm lumpy and oddly shaped. I will keep trying to work those lumps out and see if it improves I guess.

I don't know what's going on but I look misshaped all of a sudden. It's gross.

Are you wearing your compression garment? You should. It will help you with your shape. I still wear mine during the day and I find it is really helping with the healing I had work done in Oct this Year

I agree with karenjl...continue to wear your compression garment...it keeps the swelling down & helps your skin contract as well. It takes months for the swelling to completely resolve. Docs don't usually tell you this up front & if you've never had experience with cosmetic procedures you don't know what to expect....very understandable...so just be patient & don't get discouraged...the fat is gone...it's been eliminated ...you're just dealing with the swelling now :)

Yes I have been wearing my CG except to sleep. I just don't understand why I look so much worse than I did 2-3 weeks ago. Kind of strange. I would I would be looking better not worse. Go back to dr mid jan.

In my experience swelling comes & goes..sometimes gets worse before it gets better & just takes time...lots of time!!! Just hang in there until you see doc for follow up in January. Hopefully, he will be able to put your mind at ease...& more importantly by then you may possibly see improvements in your results :)

From my experience, it is too soon to tell if it is swelling or actually uneven removal of fat. Many surgeons fail to let us know they can actually cause a deformity with liposuction. I can see in your before pictures you had a very smooth stomach but now it looks dented, again, not sure if its swelling or unevenness. You have to understand that swelling comes and goes, some report that it last a year or even more. Keep taking pictures so you can compare and if possible you should get a 2nd or 3rd opinion.

Omg you look great but why is part of your tummy lumpy. Is that a side effect from the tickle lipo

Saw Dr last week. He said the lumpiness will get better and to keep massaging. I am still having a lot of soreness. I seriously did not think it would continue this long. If I leave the CG off I swell and have increased pain. Some days I wake up with my abds looking flatter, other days I think I almost looks pre lipo or very close to it. I am undecided if I'd ever recommend this or do this again. I almost don't think the soreness has improved any in the past 2 weeks.

Greetings!!! Thank you for updating us on your progress. Just want to reassure you that the continued swelling & soreness is normal. As I mentioned in my last comment it is going to take months for the swelling & soreness to resolve completely. My boyfriend had Lipo of upper & lower abs & flanks back in July of this year & even though it has improved significantly, he still has swelling & soreness & continues to wear his binder for support at at night. It is just a normal part of the healing process. But ooh la la does he ever look good & he is very pleased with his results!!! I had tickle Lipo of my upper arms in May of 2012 & I honesty believe it took a year for the swelling & soreness to resolve completely. I'm scheduled for Tickle Lipo in January 2014 of lower abs, flanks, inside of upper thighs & tweaking of right arm. So, you see I believe in it & want to encourage you to be patient! It takes time but the final results will be well worth it :)
