Day 1& 2 &3 - upper arm/ bra line/under arm/ bra line fat/below braline fat , update of day 10 - for thighs
WORTH IT
My upper arm and all the other areas mentioned were marked and I was wheeled off into surgery. This one was somewhat painful but not as painful as my thigh and lower back lipo.
Dr.Victoria used smart lipo ( along with laser ) to tighten my arm skin while all this process happened. It was a 2.5 hour procedure and while the procedure was alright my arm soreness is insane!
I did a next day checkup to see if u was draining but I wasn't cos they had emptied me out spectacularly the previous day. So redressed and got back home .
Day 3 : bathed, removed pads and since I wasn't draining started applying ointment for incisions and covered them with bandaids. My upper arm is very sore at the elbow and I do feel jiggly in my back and my braline area is somewhat loose and jiggly too. Hoping all this changes...
Peeing was hell and sleeping was hell too. Be prepared for a crazy first 3 days.
I need to see how to make the upper garment tighter.
My leg and thigh incisions are barely visible now and my garment needs to be refitted for sure - it's day 10 and I am still swollen and hard and lumpy but bruises are reducing USING LIPO FOAM FOR COMPRESSION WITH THE GARMENT.
Will post comparison pictures soon.

Day 7- and some updates ( important tip- buy lipo foam)
I had my 7th day check up , some massage and draining happened but Doctor overall happy with my improvement and eager to see me 14 days after for a possibly smaller garment in the mean time some things have improved/changed.
I can see my thighs becoming lumpy .bumpy, swollen but also the silhouette is somewhat visible like what could it all be underneath kind of a deal ( cant wait for month 3!)
I am able to bathe with much ease and lie down with even more ease, incisions are healing very nicely.
Bruises are slowly breaking down.
I bought set of 3 lipo foams from amazon for extra support and apparently thats a good thing to do.
They are reusable and washable and can be squeezed in over the thigh area and flanks for more support over skin and pressure from garment.
walking everyday 2.5 miles and drinking more water helps. I need to do some research for massage techniques thats for next week.
tomorrow is my upper body smart lipo -will do a separate post !

Day 3 post op- big day in front of mirror
Day 3 : Woke up with much less pain and also tolerable tightness in my back area.
I am most sore in my back than anywhere else.
Ate regular food and had my antibiotics.
Today was the day where I felt less tight overall almost like a noticeable change from day 1 and 2, was easier to prop myself up with pillow and get out of bed.
Felt like a swollen but human person.
There were approximately 10 incisions on both sides of my thighs and hips and back all combined and most of them barely 2 mm and barely visible too. The scars seem to be doing well , I got rid of the pads that were redressed from yesterday and used an antibiotic ointment and covered with small localized non adhesive pads and got the suit back on ( I am wearing a size M) this exhausted me and I also had a good cry ... something about seeing myself was emotional.
Prior to shower was the moment of truth, I am bravely posting some bad angle unflattering pictures ( my mirror sucks) but you can see the bruises clearly. I felt a bit blah but also felt alright ? Like ok I know what I have to work with but also can't wait to get to month 3 ..
Feeling jiggly in my stomach and felt more hanging than prior, maybe this will get slightly better ? Have to wait and see.
I can most definitely see the difference but I also feel there is a ways to go to see a much clearer picture of my actual results. I am going to be patient.
I hope to see a much better shape + good skin texture when the next stage of lumps and hardening happens( can already feel this) followed by skin reattachment and so on , fingers crossed.
Will reevaluate garment size in my next appointment in a week while prepping for my next upper body appointment on March 18th .
