Lipo for 170lb 5'6 51yr Old Female. Mexico, MO

WORTH IT$3,465
The healing process continues. Swelling is going down more. The pain is still there. My left side is giving me problems. Motrin helps a lot. Healing slower than I planned. It is my 2nd Lipo and someone mentioned it's more painful the 2nd time due to scar tissue. I do not regret making this choice at all. The results are fantastic and I feel so good about myself!

Thnx 4 update
How are you feeling now? I'm considering gutierrez for a second round of Lipo. My first round was with another Tijuana surgeon that i won't return to... I'm wondering how much time it takes with swelling. I had mine on dec 12th. And I'm still very hard in some areas
I am feeling much better. I'm still healing. My first Lipo was in 1997. This Lipo dealt with scar tissue and was more painful. Healing from Lipo takes months and it's your body settling in. I recommend Gutierrez but bring your own compression garment! I do recommend this dr.
Do you notice gaining weight in weird places?

You can tell I still have swelling around the middle. It's only temporary. I'm still fresh off the surgery table and can tell a huge difference.
WOOHOOO! Cheers to the new YOU!!!!

You are looking fabulous- be patient with your healing.  Thanks for all the updates, keep them coming!

I will post an update this weekend. The hard part is finding someone to take a picture for me

Sounds good- if you can't find anyone you can always stand in front of a mirror and take a pic of your reflection.  Hope you are feeling good!
