I'm still swelling, I wonder if this is normal?, I am not as satisfied as I thought I would be with the lipo. However I do look a little better. Just disappointed that my mid section don't look as good now as it did at 3 weeks post op.

Hi. Can you post a picture of your midsection. It is hard to imagine what you describe as to why you are disappointed. Lipo on the midsection is what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Day 4 post op

I'm still swollen and just a little sore. the more I move around the less sore I feel. I can't stand the compression garment I bought it is to small I think I bought according to the chart but this brand is very small. I jsut put my binder back on. I don't care for it either because it leaves lines all over my body. I will post pics later.

Did you just get a lipo of your mid section? I am scheduled for August 28th but having second thoughts reading about it on here. There are alot of comments on how painful it is. You seem to be coping very well. I will have 12 days off after the surgery. My problem is I had a breast reduction on May 29th and now my middle section shows more. I have lost 15 pounds since March and I don't seem to lose it there but wonder if I should keep trying before I have the lipo? Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
Do it
The pain has not been bad for me. But I did general not local anesthesia. I would never do local. I took pain medicine after surgery and then the next day. Then I went to Tylenol. I have soreness but no pain
My surgeon is doing general anesthesia. Your comment makes me feel better. I will still have my lower abdomen as she wants to do a tummy tuck but I can't do it right now so I am hoping I can lose that with my weight loss. So did you just do your mid section? Thanks
Yes it was just the mid section, I'm 6 days post op now and seeing results but not like I had hoped for. My pants are fitting better and I still have a lot of swelling and starting to get a few hard lumps but I have my 1 week check up tomorrow and maybe I can get some insight.
Yes just the mid section

I'm at work today, feeling pretty good. Still kinda sore and stiff feeling but over all not to bad. I have some pictures but can't seem to get them to load but I will keep trying.

No pain meds today just tylenol and pretty swollen after being up all day. The bruising isnt as bad as I thought it would be. Numb in places. But feel pretty good. I am taking vitimans and arnica for the brusing. I'll get better pictures when I shower later.

Hang in there!  Is the towel in the pics for leaking?

No just trying to cover up
I stopped leaking about 18 hours later
