Full body liposculpture changed my life! 34 yo + 2 kids
ORIGINAL POST
So I'm from Brasil and joined realself a long time...
WORTH IT$6,000
I always dreamt to have lipo done in order to bring back my hourglass figure. I lost count of how many hours I spent here browsing and supporting another women through comments. Got myself thinking ~lots of times~ about "how is it going to be when the person going under a procedure is me?" And now I know how it feels: so good and so scaring at the same time! Lol.
I have gone under so many non invasive procedures in the past: most were effective (but not as much as I needed the to be) but one had a really bad outcome: coolsculpting (you can take a look at my review in my profile). Long story short I had developed paradoxical hyperplasia (the fat gets bigger instead of dying) on the spots I have treated (upper abs) and the only way to get rid of it it's through liposuction. So after 2 years the treatment and a second pregnancy in between I have booked my surgery for November. I will have flanks, upper and lower abdomen and back done. I'm not quite sure but my inner thighs and arm are spots that I'm not happy with but I'm afraid to ruin the results of other areas as well for being too much for one single surgery. My pre surgery appointment with the doctor will be in the next few weeks. I'm super excited!I'm uploading some images in order to give you an idea from where I'm coming. Hope to go pretty far in this journey!

Love the stimulation pics! You already have a nice shape
UPDATED FROM bodycomeback22
1 month pre
I've gain some extra pounds last days
And here are the results. Ugh. I'm so anxious for the surgery and this triggers my compulsive eating mode. And there is more: I'm not drinking enough water and what happens when you do that? You get bloated. Yes, I'm feeling like a ballon. Need to know how to deal with this.

I also had cool sculpting done a year ago and the same thing happened to me now I am 2 days pre-op for smart lipo. Add more fiber to diet and protein shakes so you won't over eat.

Let's keep in touch then! I'm curious to see how the lumps are gonna behave after the lipo. Good luck on you procedure!
October 19, 2016
well I did go get one of those little hand held massagers to use too so kind of a lymph massage and lump and bump smoother. It was recommended to get by my Dr. I don't have the pleasure to go get hand massages like I have read about

did you notice skin firming with the cool sculpting? I did I had stretch marks and now they are less visible. I am 47 never had children but went from 120 to 160 in a month when I was a teenager from birth control pills then went to 105 in the military and I hit menopause and am up to 153 so I am having smartlipo with the laser because it tighten then skin

I haven't had one single benefit from coolsculpting. The only positive outcome from it is the free lipo hahaha
October 19, 2016
The team responsible for my coolsculpting treatment confirmed that I have developed hyperplasia as an side effect from it. So we had an agreement where they will pay all the costs for my procedure.

I am so upset with the place I went to I haven't gone back so I sucked it up and moved forward. hahaha My name is Angelia by the way it is nice to talk with you

Hey Angelia hope you can get this s*** fixed soon. I'm super anxious right now. Just 11 days for surgery day!

Hey Hon so I have my smart lipo done on Friday10/21 and I was back to work on Tuesday. It's will be 3 weeks tomorrow and I am still sore and swollen I wear a faja 24/7 and that gets a bit uncomfortable at time. I can see a big difference but the swelling is annoying hope it will go away soon. I am doing massages to the areas and that hurts but they say if you want good results do it. I think you will do fine I am
November 10, 2016
Great to hear from you! So the swelling is bad, right? I'm worried about that since the weather is very hot where I live. And what about your expectations? Are you happy? Can you see the results already?
November 10, 2016
Thank you for keeping in touch. the swelling is not horrible if you make sure to drink lots of liquids my doctor made me drink 1-2 liters a day for a week before surgery and for 24 hours after. It was hard to do. I drink Vitamin water and the more I drink the less the swelling and stay away from extra salt that tends to bring on more swelling. If at all possible try to take it easy for at least a week after I should have taken 1-2 weeks off since I had full torso done. I think what hurts now is the nerves are still waking up and it feels like a sunburn I will try to post pictures or if you have an email I can send them to you. At 47 yo healing takes more time than when I was younger hahaha. I'm jealous wish it was warm in Idaho.

Hey girl, how is it going? Enjoying your flat tummy? How about the pain? Let me know! My surgery is in 3 days, I'm losing my mind hahahahaha
November 17, 2016
Heyyyyy it's going I am so happy with my results so far. The pain let us talk about that one. I have a very high tolerance but this is so different II because of the nerves being put to sleep. It feels like a sunburn. It's not unbearable but annoying as all get out. I am still in my faja and am only allowed out of it for an hour aday so be prepared to live in it for a while I am almost a month out. If you can get massages do it. I would love to get a set like your beige one any way I could get an address to the place you got yours? You are going to do brilliantly with this surgery you have had babies so it will probably be a breeze don't worry.
November 10, 2016
Yes I can see results I have curves that I never knew were possible hahahaha
