Hey guy I had smart Lipo done 10/5 by Dr.Berger at Sonobello in westchester, ny. Sonobello in general was really professional, ensured I was fully educated on the process, etc. They recommended Dr.Berger because For me due to my body size and BMI and noted how great he was with contouring.

I did my own research and decided to move forward. I met him in person at my pre-op appointment and he was very nice , thorough, and answered my questions

Day of surgery they gave me a mix of medications to take - Xanax, percosets, ani nausea and antibiotics. It didn’t seem to hit me much by the time I got to the operating table I felt the injections of lidocaine. They gave me another pill and after that it was a bit smooth sailing. I get more uncomfortableness near my back bra roll area. I got my upper, lower, waist, and back bra rolls done. I’ll place some pics in a day or two as I am not to take garment off completely for 24 hours.

Overall I had a good experience and I’ll keep you guys updated. I will say the pain I felt after all the meds wore off was so awful - they did prescribe meds that helped but let me tell you… getting up and into bed is the most uncomfortable/painful. I will say today I feel better enough to walk around and do little things round the house.

Day 3

See more bruising than the days prior, I’m moving around well but it is soooo painful/uncomfortable to get in and out of bed. Taking my medications as prescribed and trying to take Tylenol versus the Narcotics. I hate saying this is like pain but it literally feels as though you did 100 hours of working out and you are extremely sore. Thats my best comparison. Anyway, here is a side profile before and after pic. My back fat is so minimal and my stomach is smaller.

I think you look great, I had same procedure on 10/5 with my plastic surgeon and I'm very swollen and don't see any difference. After reading up on lipo result timelines most sites stated that final results are seen about 6 months post op. Don't get discouraged!!!!

Thanks!! We’re in this together ! My mid section just feels very tight I’m trying to just gently massage but I made an appointment for a lymphatic one at one week post op so see if it relieves some of this pressure I feel. How are you feeling?

Getting better

Curiousgirl718
Went for 1 week post op and everything was fine - it’s uncomfortable sleeping at night with the faja and with me being so swollen. I’m starting to itch a bit , but staying active and walking around is helpful. I have gotten one massage and after I had it I felt so much better, I scheduled another for next week. The swelling and bruising is now minimizing and wearing Lipo foam with my faja makes it much better and comfortable. Illl update at 2 months.
