Well, after 10+ years of contemplating lipo on my lower legs, I have decided to take the leap. In a week I will finally have the procedure done and damn, I am nervous. I've read several reviews on women who have had it done and their results are amazing but it sounds like quite a long journey to actually see the results. I guess I will have to be patient but its not one of my virtues. I will ensure to take before and after photos to share this experience for those who are thinking but hesitant about the surgery. Wish me luck!

In less than 24 hrs I will be getting my lipo on my lower legs. I'm excited and yet terribly scared but I know if I don't do this I will regret it for the rest of my life. I shall write more upon recovery of my procedure.

I just has my calves and thighs done yesterday. It's a lot more pain them I expected. Walking is tough. I had my husband go buy me a walker. Take the drugs! They help. Good lucko

Day of Surgery: well, this has been quite an interesting and painful day. First off, my relaxer drugs did not help me out one bit, then the anesthetic was most doubtedly the worse pain I have felt in quite a long time, especially when they were spraying the lido near the ankles. Holy crap, I wasn't expecting that. The remainder of the surgery was uncomfortable but bearable. They wrapped my legs in bandages until the seeping stops then I will have to start wearing my compression socks. The pain has already commenced. My calves feel like they are having continuous muscle cramps but the pain is multiplied. I really hate the way skin feels when your numb; I'm so ready for that to start going away. I'm glad I took a week off because I feel like I will need the time to relax and keep these legs elevated. Some say on here that they saw a difference immediately after the surgery, well, I didn't notice at all. They were quite swollen already. They did suck out 1,000 Ccs of fat which he said was quite a lot. So for now, that's all I have. I'm going to try to sleep a bit. I am quite tired.
