It's May 15th, I waited longer than anticipated to update my file due to some swelling on and off. I wanted to show you the true results. It's been 5 months and I could not be more thrilled.

This has been the best review by far! You look amazing! My surgery date is June 15th.
I am super excited! I'm having my abs, flanks, inner and outer thighs lipo'd. Send a pic of the compression garment you suggest. (tonyatalia@gmail.com)

You look stunning. I must say that the before photos look great, too, but I understand you wanted a perfect body. It looks great an I am sure everyone here agrees, not just for a 50-year old. Congrats!

I'm adding photos even though there isn't a huge improvement from day 12. I am still swollen and numb on my hips, pelvis, inner thighs and lower abdomen with significant swelling still there. IN one week, at one month I'll re-photo. These photos were taken a little closer so it's hard to see the drop in size...anyway I'm still thrilled with my results. Also, I got on teh scales and I weighed only 1 pound less than before my surgery so I was kind of depressed about that, but my shape is totally different and that's what I was hoping for!

My results have been terrific. For the first week you cannot even look at your body because about 24 hours after surgery you will swell up, sometimes even larger than you were before surgery. But then from day 7 on you will begin to shrink, and shrink, and shrink, and shrink. It's the strangest thing. I can fit my arms in jackets that I haven't been able to get on for years (and all of my other skinny clothes fit because I got lipoed all over my body) but the scales don't show much weight loss. Maybe a pound or two.

So you should go for it in my opinion and get it all done at once.

The make a tiny incision near the elbow and go up under the arms to get that fat that hangs when you hold your arms out. I have light scarring that is slowly fading away. I don't think anyone would notice it. I haven't done some of the advised vitamin e or Maderma treatment/creams yet as I'm still wearing compression garments. But I will begin this week putting cream on which makes the almost unnoticeable scars fade. My doctor used areas where there were folds in the skin or that are normally not visible to insert the cannula so I have very little in terms of scars...but my results are sooooooooooooo good! I will post new photos in a week or so.

Wow you must still be sore! I just stopped taking my pain medication. I had lymphatic massage two days ago and I've had a sudden reduction in size again around my waistline! It really helps alot to have the lymphatic massage and contrary to what people have said it's not painful.
