Feeling like my side and flanks should be thining out but I still look like I have a huge Muffin Top I did have lipo done there but I am getting discouraged that it will not improve!

I know I am doing this backwards sorry but I realized that I did not upload any pre op or pics with drains. So here they are. 1 of the photos shows that gross blister I was referring to in an earlier post.

I am 5'5
Before weight 157.4lbs
Size 9 or 7
Post Op Weight 152.4 @6weeks
Size 5 or 7

Right after surgery I was 163 all water weight and swelling. ..totally sucked

First of all thanks for the nice comments on my review! Second...WOW..you look fantastic! Your incision is so neat and straight...love it. I think we are about the same PO..right around 6 weeks. I am finally starting to feel better at my lipo sites...seems to take forever. Still a bit numb though in those areas, are you feeling the same? I agree with you about the month time frame, that's when things started to turn the corner for me also. :)

Thank you so much! Yes the liposuction is taking forever it is still numb I also sometimes have a burning sensation like the skin is being ripped off if I make a sudden movement. I had Power Assisted Lipo I wonder if the type makes a difference in how you heal and feel after.
