Lower Body Lift with Vaser Lipo of Thighs - Savannah, GA

I've had a request of what my scar looks like. These aren't the best quality and they were taken at the end of the day so I am of course a little swollen, but they give you an idea of how my incision is healing.

I can't believe it has already been five weeks! I am almost back to my old self. I don't really have much pain anymore, but the strength in my core is still not 100%. The last few days I was finally strong enough to do yoga. It felt amazing to to finally stretch out all those muscles. I missed that feeling so much. I have been very cautious getting back to my old routine and not to push it too much. If it hurt or didn't feel right I would just wait a few days to try again.

I am very happy with my results. My swelling as gone down a lot. If I do not drink enough water I still tend to swell. It's a good reminder to drink water! My scar is healing nicely and is starting to fade. There is still one spot that hasn't completely closed up (my butt crack!, lol). I am not too concerned about it. I'm keeping neosporion on it to help speed up the healing a little. I am seeing my PS next Wednesday for my 6 week post op. I'll ask his opinion then if there is anything I need to do.

I am slowly regaining more feeling back around my waist and thighs. My hips have been the slowest to regain feeling. I think I have had more pain/discomfort and numbness from the lipo then from the LBL. I am still happy I did the lipo though.

The day of surgery I weighed 140lbs and wore a size 10 pants/ size medium shirt. I now weigh about 135lb and wear a size 4 pants and size small shirt. I never enjoyed trying on clothes as much as I do now. I can now try on almost anything and it looks good on me. I can even wear most junior clothes (my D-cup boobs don't always fit, lol). I finally found the confidence in myself that I lost so many years ago. I missed that feeling. My husband is going to be so excited and shocked when he comes home from deployment! I am so happy I did this! I was so close to cancelling my first consultation out of fear. I have absolutely no regrets!

I had my 2nd post op appointment today. It went great. He said I am healing beautifully and I am clear to start exercising again. He also started me on scar treatment. I am free to ditch the compression garment when ever I please. I may attempt not wearing it tomorrow and see how bad the swelling is. It seems as long as I stay active and drink plenty of water the swelling isn't too bad. Hopefully it won't be bad without the spanx, but not a big deal if I need to wear it longer. My next appointment isn't until 6 weeks post op. Not much else is new. I'm feeling great and am really starting to feel like my old self again. I'll try to upload new pics in a couple of days.
