Tumescent Lipo: 38 Yr Female, 1 child, upper lower Abs, Flanks,

A little swelling, but almost the same. Drainage is completed and the punctures are still open but starting to get smaller, they should start closing up soon, I’m washing my garments and wearing some surgical pads on some prominent holes and a body suit to hold them in place then a waist trainer on top of it all. When I don’t wear the compression stuff it hurts much more, like nerves bouncing around. Some bruising on my sides, non on the front. Lots of swelling and fluids built up around my upper butt and where my c- section is, around that whole area. I guess the remaining fluids move down and collect there. I’m drinking lots of water to hopefully rid my body of these fluids. Tried some dress on and wow! No belly, AMAZING feeling. There is one spot that I mentioned earlier that it looks like was missed on my back left side where the doc carved in a curvier waist, hope that smooths out eventually but even if it doesn’t the silhouette still looks great. I worked out at about 25% yesterday and will do the same today. Now I can focus on arms, upper back and butt with cardio, not obsessing over stomach excercises that I swear just made my waist thicker and stronger, not small and curvy. Yaaay Lipo!!! I’m a real estate agent, so I’m doing computer work for now. I took a shower cleaning the wounds with soapy water. I had help with my 4 yr old the day of and day after surgery, but today it’s all me with light help from my hubby. Tumescent is the way to go, I have minimal pain and swelling and plenty of energy.

Omg! I saw myself for the first time after being bound so tightly to help remove the tumescent fluid which leaked into my clothes and onto the bed absorbants, it also filled my front and back layer under my garnet. Wow! My waist is tiny. Check out the pics. Hardly any pain, very tender to touch, only taken Ex strength Tylenol and the antibiotics twice a day. Took a shower now I’m lightly bound with my absorbing pads, though I’m hardly leaking fluid at this point. Doctor says it looks great, I shouldn’t swell much more, fluid still there and it will take time to fully heal.

Oh Boy, I did it! Got to the office at 8am where I was asked general health questions, weighed, blood pressure and pregnancy test taken. Next before photos taken, then I was marked up in blue ink and those photos were taken. I was give some calming meds that made me relaxed and sleepy. They took me into the operation room and started the tumescent fluid process. They gave me up to around 20 shots where the adits or puncture holes were place, those shots sting, ouch!!!! Quickly after the punctures are done and you don’t feel those at all. Then they begin to fill th subject area with fluid, it took about an hour and was a trip to be blown up that big, it felt like weights being set your your stomach and sides. They let the fat soak up the solution for about an hour. Now it’s time for the lipo. It feels like a vibrating probe, no pain. If it gets close to the muscle or a bone it’s very tender and slightly painful, but other than that painless. They clean you up, wrap absorbent pads around you, put you compression garment on, wrap that with a super tight compression band that’s actually really uncomfortable as I’m speaking laid back in my recliner. It’s annoying me because the fluid filled tummy and sides are hanging below it. I am leaking fluid but lightly, mostly in the back area. I don’t feel a lot of pain when I’m laying, but if I get up, dang!!!! It hurts, I need to just chill and get some rest, tomorrow is my follow up at 8am. I hope it goes well.
