Tumescent Lipo- Inner/outer Thighs and Waist, Back, and Hips - Tampa, FL

Thank you AngieK!

Thanks. I think it's helping. But I think what's also really helping is I'm using 100% Grapeseed oil. My doctor gave it to me when I went for my follow-up appt, and the very next next I noticed a difference with the swelling. I think it's finally starting to go in the right direction. We will see. You are looking great Mary594!

Thanks :) are the grapeseed oil in pill form? Maybe I should start using it

Hey Mary594. It's liquid, in a bottle. The brand is Now Solutions. Today is my third day using it, and you know how much pain I've been in. I've been massaging the oil into my legs once in the evening, it's wild. But my swelling is definitely starting to go down. I still have a WAYS to go, but when you're swollen, the pressure it creates is miserable. The oil has helped reduce the pressure from the swelling. And I'm walking better, now that a lot of the pressure is go. If you have swelling, I would recommend you try it. You can get it from a health food store. My doctor gave me a bottle, as he recommends to his patients that have severe swelling like me. The natural alternative.

I have it in my flanks, almost 6 weeks later it is still swollen and tender I think I will try it. Thanks I am really happy its working for you.

Hi...I had my hips and waist done by Dr Su in January. I love Dr Su and Lynn!

Hi!-thanks for posting-I am getting nervous and reading ALL I can!-how were your hips? a lot of swelling?-I am doing knees and saddlebags-cant wait to do my review!-you didn't do a review on Dr. Su?

Hi fairwaymom. I've been ok. I haven't really updated or posted pics, as I don't feel at this point there is a drastic improvement. However, the my saddle bags, and knee area is where I can physically see the difference. Which is nice, but I'm most curious to see how my inner thighs will look, once this whole swelling process is over. That is the area I dislike the most on my body. Best of luck to you. I have my 2nd procedure scheduled with DrSu July 13th. I'm sure you will get the outcome your expecting, just be mindful the lower extremities present the most swelling. BTW Lynn is an awesome person, she will do anything for you, to make sure your comfortable. Good luck!

HEY!!!--my procedure is July 13th too!!! I think I am more excited for you though-lol once you get your trimmed waistline...you are truly going to feel so skinny! I cant imagine all you have been through-it's probably a good thing that you waited but it definitely seems that you have the worst behind you! I found one of dr.su's patients who just had her waistline/tummy done and she did not even need pain meds!-soo you are going to do great this time around! I am scheduled for 11:30 on the 13th-are you before or after me?

It was probably a good 3 months before all the swelling went away. I probally should do review.... Please keep me updated because I would love to get my whole upper leg done.

just wondering how you are-are you loving your results?
I had to go in for a touch up after 6 months and going to dr su next week for waist/hips-I was reading through our conversations from july -I believe I swore I would never do it again-lol

Hello. Yes, my thighs have been swollen since day 3 post procedure. However on day #8, post procedure was when I noticed the most significant amount of swelling. Today makes exactly two weeks since my procedure and my thighs are still very swollen, including my ankles (I've read that's normal). I can't cross my legs. I'm still walking pretty slow. Upon standing, I feel sharp little pains throughout my thighs. Perhaps it's nerve pain. Not sure. My inner thighs are still numb and sore all at the same time. They feel like I have golf balls in each inner thigh. Because they are so swollen. I have major chub rub going on right now :) I did have a small thigh gap, the day of my procedure, so maybe one day I'll see it again. I'm starting to become convinced that you really don't see your true results until 6 months after. I have my two week follow up appointment today. I have a list of questions ready for Dr.Su. I'm hoping I can get a different style compression garment. Dr.Su originally told me, that he only requires his patients to wear the garment for 2 weeks. But I still need the support of the garment. I couldn't imagine not wearing the garment at this point. So tell me about your recovery from the waist, back, and hips? I'm interested to hear how the recovery and pain has been. I'm suppose to have the same procedure done on July 13th. I'm on the fence?!? I wish I had not paid for everything at once. I just didn't expect the recovery to be this long. And how are you inner thighs doing?

are you going to Dr. Su?

Yes. Going to Su. Surgery is Nov 1 2016

Thank you!! Can't believe it's finally here.

Thank you! The doctors office just called, to give me my instructions for tomorrow morning.

I had full inner and outer lipo yesterday. I was supposed to have waist, hips, and back done today. But I could not. I'm in an excessive amount pain. I can barely move my legs to get in and out of bed. I went to the surgeon today for my follow up. Because I'm in so much pain I'm having a difficult time even caring about my results. I thought I was going to die, when I had to put on a new compression garment today. It's the type that slides up. I need to go online and see if I have any other options, for garnets that snap on, rather than slide up? The Dr, said he was very pleased with my results, one day after surgery.

You'll get through it, the pain is bad not like a heavy work out as they claim. Take your pain meds, rest and walk around as much you can. Don't let it discourage you to get the rest done

You are so right.... The pain is far greater than a boot camp workout experience. Don't know if I'll make it to work Monday. I'm trying to not be discouraged, but I guess I am a little. I lived on this app prior to my procedure, and it seems that my experience has been a little different than most, regarding the pain.

No I think a lot have horrible pain. I have had so many surgeries in my life that my dr told me this was going to be a piece of cake and to be honest this has been the worst and I have a very strong pain threshold I never take pain meds but with this one I needed it. 3 weeks later I am still sore I would say now it feels like a workout. Very tolerable but sore nonetheless. I just wanted to tell you that so you know you are not alone, you're not being a wimp this is very painful surgery. I think you should take a couple more days of work off. And don't beat yourself up

Thanks mary594. You help to make me feel less delusional about the level of pain I'm experiencing right now.

Unfortunately I'm still in a lot of pain. I had my full inner and outer thighs done Thursday June 2nd. This is not just soreness, it's pain. I can hardly walk. I went for my follow up yesterday, and I had my compression garment changed. I'm not kidding. I was in tears as we tried to take it off, and in tears when we're putting the new larger one on. After my visit yesterday, they put me on stronger pain meds Percocet. Yes, I'm now taking it every 4-6 hours. I haven't an appetite. I'm getting my waist, back, and hips done June 24th. I was supposed to have my 2nd procedure done yesterday, but that didn't happen. Too much pain. I'm glad you are happy with your results. I'm sure you are going to look fabulous once you get everything done. My nurse Lynn has been so sweet, love her. I've waited so many years to have my thighs done, and now that I've had the procedure, I can't get very excited about because of my pain level. I'm dreading taking this garment off, to take a shower tomorrow. Sigh.... I know it will eventually get better. It's just one of those things. I just wanted to share my experience. I know everyone handles pain differently. Everyone at the office, tells me that my 2nd procedure is a lot less invasive. Looking forward to hearing about your thigh lipo experience. Are you having full inner, outer thigh?

Hey I'm actually getting my inner thighs done tomorrow , an opening came available and I wanted to get it over with... After reading your story I'm quite nervous. How are you feeling?
