I recently had laser liposuction done on my upper and lower abs, waist and hips. I have always struggled with my mid area and with all the diets and exercise I've tried, I could never get rid of pot belly and love handles. Although I was nervous going into it, I am so happy I took that step and actually acted on it. I cant wait to see my final results in a few months!

Hi there, welcome!

Glad everything went well for you. How are you finding the recovery? Have you had much pain?

Really there has been very little pain. What pain I do have is manageable. Today is day #2 and I had a rough night last night. I itch like crazy at all my incision marks. I think that means I'm healing but it's driving me crazy! I want to scratch but I know I can't!

Oh that must suck! Hopefully the itching won't last too long. Can you put anything on it, like Aquaphor, to stop the itching?

Oh I didn't even think of that! I don't see why not? I will read my post op instructions again and see if it says anything about that. Thanks! Have you had this procedure done? Or thinking about it?

I haven't had it done, no, but it may be something I will need to consider in the future. Very interested in everyone's experiences.

Nice to hear your feeling well. I also had my waist and upper and lower and done, Oct 23rd. It still feels strange touching my stomach. I am still massaging as I have some lumps (scar tissue) but they are getting better. Sonnobello included in my package a Venus freeze that assists with lumps, tighing and smooth appearance, I will be going in a few weeks. I only started itching about 2 weeks ago, arnica gel did help. I had no bruising but a lot of swelling. Everyday gets a little but better. :)
