Day Ten
My post op appointment went well. The nurse said I was looking good and everything I was experiencing was normal. I don't have to wear my corset thing anymore but she advised I buy a different one that is a bit more comfortable because it would help keep the shape through my healing. I bought a nude one that goes underneath the breast but stops before the hips. It will be SO much better than my full body one. I'm excited to get it. Especially because there won't be any zippers! Woo!
The pain is different now than in the beginning. In the beginning it would hurt to readjust at all. Now it just hurts when I bend certain ways. Sitting down to get into the car is always uncomfortable. But bearable.
I'm starting to get the hard lumps all over my stomach and sides. I've never felt anything like it. Its SO weird. And they are painful to massage out! My mom is really worried that this isn't supposed to be happening. I told her the doctor told me this was normal but it does seem pretty excessive. I feel like they never go away no matter how much I've massaged. And now my stomach is starting to get super sore. I'm a little worried. I've seen some people have little electronic massagers... is this a good idea? Should I get one? I wouldn't even know what to buy.... any suggestions?
Also, my results are still kind of hit and miss. My flanks are looking pretty good and I'm happy about them but my stomach still looks a little "preggers" if you know what I mean. Here's to hoping things get better.
I don't have pictures right now but I'll update with some asap.

Congrats on your recovery. You mentioned your stomach was starting to get sore. During my TT/lipo recovery, I got more sore as time went by. My Dr told me that is common because as your nerves heal you feel more of the pain and soreness. I'm also experiencing similar thing after this recent lipo treatment. Take a pain med and then do light massaging about 30 minutes later. I find it helps to massage over a soft cotton t shirt. Best of luck to u!!

The lumps are normal and can last for months. I had some on arms and they subsided.
Prayers and positive vibes.

I started to experience lumps at about six weeks or so. I had lymphatic massages that did nothing besides relieve me of several hundred dollars. I bought a hand held electric massager and massaged 10-15 minutes 2-3 Times a day using cocoa butter. It took until my six month appointment before they started diminishing. I bought a pair of skinny jeans on the way home from the three month appointment but did not wear them because they were to tight. I put them on yesterday and had to ad a belt to hold them up so the swelling even lasts longer than WE think. Good luck but do not get discouraged.

I am almost 3 weeks post op after having aqua lipo and i have some lumps too, but my dr didn't say anything about massaging them, he gave me a cream which seems to be working. The lumps to feel kind of weird..i try to keep feel them every day and see if they gotten any smaller, and they always do. Don't trouble yourself, i know it's very hard when you're fresh after surgery because you always feel like something is wrong, but you're probably fine. Stay strong!

I've researched and some doctors say lying on your stomach/sleeping helps with the bruises as well as the lymphatic drainage massages.
