I am 11 days post op today. welll, this past week...

WORTH IT$3,200
i am 11 days post op today. welll, this past week has been up and down. i feel really good and flat in the mornings and after my 11 hr work day in the evening, i get swollen. stress is such a [RS bleep] on healing. im noticing some hardness at my lower ab but my dr says its normal and to b expected.

my upper ab is really flat and no hardness. im still wearing my CG all the time and i self massage. anyone with ways to get rid of the hardness should pls share.

also, i bought arnica massage oil but have used it only once, it felt good, but wen i put on my garment afterwards, i felt some mild sting feeling. who has used this?

anyways, so far so good

This is fake FYI
What exactly is fake? D pictures..?me? Or d dr?
I say that because the after pictures for such a high testimonial why only 1 after picture! ??? Well two of 1 pic it's only cropped that doesn't add up
High testimonial? My complains of hardness n swelling in d lower abs? D picture is the 1 taken @ d dr's..before I left SA. I hvnt taken any clear ones since cos my family dint kno about the procedure so no 1 2 snap
You are rite, I don't think it's the same body and she claims she didn't get breast implants which you can clearly see they are
Thank you

How are you feeling now? I had my vaser same day as you and recovery has been harder than I expected. Pain has not been a problem but I have been feeling very tired.
Aww. So sorry. Recovery was going fine. Had to fly back home yesteRday...8 hours...I was soo swollen It was shocking. No pain so much but I also get tired easily. I think our bodies need 2 recover from d trauma, afteral, we had surgery.

You look great I just got my upper and lower done too! I'm happy with the results also!
thanks dear. im swollen today tho
You look great. Im a little confused on what lipo to get. Vaser did great for you. Did you have your breast done also? They look great too lol!
awww.....thank you. and NO dint hv the boobs done. hehe. i tthink vaser is okay
Umm... I'm starting to believe these pics are fake, in the after photos those are definitely implants you can see it in the fullness in the top.
im actually flattered you think my boobs are implants!!LOL
Oh for goodness sake, don't be so ignorant ! I had the same procedures (hd vaser lipo) done and can assure you, this woman is not lying, only difference, I had my procedures done in Pretoria
LOL my boobs also look great after my lipo procedures so much so, I am now looking for a reputable Dr./PS in Gauteng specializing in breast reductions
You look gr8! Was it r3200?
