I'm so excited about my results so far. I think the lipo is more painful then the incision. They removed 4 1/2 lbs of skin and 2 liters of fat !

sooo happy for youuuu
Hooray!...those are 2 things you will never miss...My bruising was from the lipo as well...now it's all gone. Welcome to your new world....take it slow & easy for the best results. :-)
Movebuff, I have some swelling now , did you get some a few days after your surgery?
Hi Smilnshell....I still have swelling (monster mound)..& from what I've read swelling is very common I think everyone gets it at some point. Make sure you keep your legs up and your head raised as well when resting (which you should be doing for most of the day. Make sure you walk looking at the ground and start with walking across the living room and back. Don't over do it....that's when you'll get more swelling. Even now I feel it more at the end of the day....so take it easy. It's just going to get better if you listen to your body... :-)
