I don’t see anything posted about why you revised the earlier lipo, and why you chose a different doctor. Were you unhappy with Dr Su?

This is years late. I’m so sorry. Both Dr Su & Gruber work in the same practice/office. They are partners. Dr Su is a modest man & I respect that about him, modest enough to decide he didn’t want to do the revision. Dr. Gruber said she would do it. In truth, Dr Gruber has more surgical qualifications under her name, so she is more aggressive than Su, and respect him greatly for not wanting to go beyond what he felt comfortable doing, but he is an awesome Dr . And I highly recommend them both!

Update on all areas, 6wks PO, 4wks PO and 2wks PO

6wks since stomach/flank/hip and back lipo - some days i look good other days i look terrible. Swelling is still a very real issue for me. I still have hard spots on my stomach, i believe i have scar tissue forming below my navel right above my c-section scar. It looks deformed. Im still numb on flank area and lower back and still feel minor bruising.

Thighs/inner knees - although they look huge, im hoping its because of the water retention, i can tell a diffrence in my saddle bag area. A big diffrence actually. My legs are healing the fastest. Bruising is diminishing daily. They feel good, but are now looking flabby. I haven't worked out in 6wks. Im ready to put in work.
My knees are tender. Just starting to see a diffrence there, although, it comes and goes due to swelling.

Arms - when i went in to get my arms done, i had lost 5.5lbs in the 2wks since my thigh lipo. Post my arm lipo I've gained 6lbs. I really hope this is All swelling. I feel gross and fat. Nothing worse than spending a butt load of $$$ and seemingly not seeing the fruits of my empty pockets. Anyway, back to the arms. The easiest surgery by far, also lighter post op pain than thighs or stomach. However, i felt better at the 2wk mark with my stomach and thighs than i do with my arms. Im 2wks 1 day PO arms and im still in a great deal of discomfort. I week PO you could see no definition in my arms at all. In fact, my arms looked 5 times better prior to surgery. My surgery nurse said she'd never seen any ones arms swell as much as mine had. Its pretty discouraging to be an enigma. However, today i made forward progress. I see definition again. I'll get a pic up soon.

Just wanted to give you guys an update. I hope everyone is healing, happy and thriving out there.

I am so sorry to hear this...please don't be discouraged. I had my arms done almost a month before you and the swelling has gone down substantially so give it a few more weeks. I did wear my compression garment all day for the 4 weeks instead of doing only at night after 2 weeks. I had lipo of my back and abs performed on Nov 11th by a local doctor and I can tell you what has really made a difference in my results and controlling swelling. I started doing lymphatic drainage...have you considered it? Fortunately my dr includes 8 sessions as part of his procedure since they offer it in this office and then I purchased 8 more as I wanted to ensure as smooth results as possible. Have you been massaging all of your areas daily?
