WORTH IT$5,900
My measurements or weight didnt change this week. That probably means most of my swelling are already gone. I have lost 3 to 5lb after procedure and measurements are - 2.5inch.

My bruises are gone and very happy! I can wear a dress without a black pantyhose. I am still wearing compression garments 24/7 and I will continue to wear until numbing or pulling sensations goes away. It is a good support for my inner thighs.

Thanks! Most of my fat is on my thighs and butt. Not on my stomach. I feel finally my body is proportional!! I love my natural result. I saw your results and looks great! Happy for you :)

You look great! I'm still above my preop wt. I'm having trouble knowing if it's swelling or actually weight gain. My surgeon closed my incisions rather than open and letting them drain. I want to want to see my inches and scale drop!!

Thank you!! Im pretty sure it is swelling since your dr took a significant amount from your legs. I know its hard to be patient after procedure but Im cheering for you! You will see a change by 4 to 6 weeks!!

Thanks. I hope so. I'm still bruised in places so I know there is some swelling. I'm wearing the compression 24/7. I'll be three weeks on Monday

Thank you for checking! I'll be 6 weeks on Monday. I see a difference at my knee and some on my mid thigh. I think my inner thigh might be swollen. I've been exercising a lot since 3-4 weeks. I think my expectations are probably too high too. But since they say wait til month 3 to fully evaluate I guess we shall see!

How are your results coming? I know you said your upper inner thighs was where you wanted to see more progress. Mine really went down in swelling and tightened up during the 2-3 month mark. It was the place that my swelling lasted the longest so I'm sure you'll continue to see progress. Just thought I'd check in and share!

Thanks for sharing! Two days lost-op and I see no changes in my legs. Maybe it's just sweeling?

I think its swelling too. You have to be patient with lipo result :( more fat taken out = more swelling you will have. Massage and bath etc.. helps you heal faster in my experience. Good luck! Let me know if you have questions.

I feel bikini ready first time in my life! Day 22

I complained about my upper inner thighs on last post. I have a great news! My upper inner thighs are thinner now! I noticed the big change in last 3 days. I wonder my vigorous massage on the area helped. I thought it might have been residential fat that my dr didnt take out but it was swelling! Very happy. I started liking my legs for the first time in my life. I have flat stomach so I feel like I finally have a proportional body! Im very glad I chose to do lipo and chose Dr. Hagstrom!

Great! I am still up a few pounds (like 5!). I am hoping I will see that go down soon! Maybe next week like you saw in the third week. I am two weeks post op today. Glad you are feeling better and seeing results!

Thank you! You are so sweet! Keep me posted about your progess. Major swelling should go away in 6 weeks, most doctors I saw said.

No. Im lazy. I lift thighs and walk on my toes ( can increase circulation ) but that is about it. I do squats once in a while...
