6 week update (no faja)

WORTH IT$6,300
I still swell up whenever i dont have on the faja but i took it off for my birthday March 17th (exactly 6 weeks po). Here's pic's! According to SB, this in only about %50 of my results so in a few more months i should look amazing!! The doctor removed some fat from above my butt to make my natural butt look better and i see a big difference! I love what he did back there.

Day 17 review

Bloated with pms! I have a lot of those hard bumps i keep trying to massage. Wrestling In and out of this CG to change feminine products every hour or so is a huge pain!!! My back seems to be the most swollen and my sides. My upper abs are looking best out of everything, then my lower stomach is looking okay. Again, i can tell I’m really swollen still but finally seeing the results after my major swell around days 4-8.... i started seeing more of my new shape around day 12. These hard lumps (which I’ve read and Been told is totally normal) are painful to the touch and when i stretch. I can’t wait for 6 months to be up and be fully/almost fully healed and see the ultimate result. This waiting game is no fun.

Do you have up pictures? I'd love to see them. I think Dr. Scheu does amazing work. I just uploaded more pictures a moment ago but it takes up to 24 hours to show.

I had it done February 3rd 8am @ SonoBello. The staff is the sweetest! All of them. And the doctor was very kind and explained everything in detail as well. I never felt uncomfortable at all and i can’t lie, i felt a little embarrassed coming to this. I have always had a perfect washboard stomach my whole life and I’ve been gaining weight this last year after i had my last baby who’s 16 months now. Yes, AFTER not while i was pregnant. Either way, Day 1 i saw immediate results and i was so happy when i took off the CG to shower. Day 4 the extreme swelling kicked in and i was in horrible pain. Like really horrible. (I slept through the whole procedure).... Day4-8 I’d say we’re the worst for me. Very sore, itchy, dry skin, incisions itching....just bad. And the bruised had all showed up too. Today I’m on day 17 and i am bloated (PMS) ????????
But a few days ago, maybe day 12-16 i was seeing the swelling subside and I’m starting to see my upper abs which have been hiding from me! I will take pics without the CG in a few days when my cycle leaves!

How are your results now?
I'll upload more pics tonight. I love it and i can tell im still swollen (especially when i don't wear my faja overnight)! but even with swelling i'm still so much better than i was before i had this one. My weight has plateaued, probably cause i was out of town for my birthday the last few days and over ate like crazy but i've lost 7 pounds since i got it done about 6 weeks ago. Have you had lipo done?
