I'm 45, no kids, healthy. Time was catching up. Decided that this was my last opportunity to maintain looks and youthful appearance so had liposuction on my hips, inner thighs, knees, flanks and abdomen. I also had a fat transfer into my buttocks to restore the shape back to 10 years ago. I'm one day post op and have to say it's very painful. Lots of seeping of liquid they injected mixed with blood. Bed is ruined. Make sure you have pads laid out above and below you to protect your bed and linens. I never knew this could happen. I know the pain will get better and swelling will go down as I heal but never really understood the pain, even with perkisettes. I had the tumescent liposuction, which gets the best results.

Wearing a garment from mid calf up to under my breasts with straps over my shoulder, which I'll wear for 6 weeks.

Will post more photos as time goes on.
I'm very swollen and can feel the bruising, like I got into a major car accident (I know, why put yourself through this?). The results will be worth it :)

10 days post op

I'm 10 days post op and the nausea and dizziness has subsided. I stopped perkisettes and antibiotics 7 days post op. Had major impacted stool and was a horrible trying to re-normalize after. TIP* eat light foods, soups, fiber. I had chicken and a sandwich and paid dearly for it. The pain sitting on the toilet and being constipated after this procedure is not something I wish on anyone. Sorry to be so graphic.

I have started walking on a treadmill for 30-40 mins at 2.8 mph. Ladies, if you can do it, it helps with the recovery and keeps everything moving.

My thighs and hips have slimmed down. The bruising on my inner thighs is bad and the pain from the BBL is like having a hard rock in each butt cheek. My stomach, when I get up, feels on fire from the stomach lipo, still a lot of swelling but hardly any bruising. My back hurts and is swollen. I had back surgery in the past and the swelling has irrited the site.

I've posted pre-op and post op before and after.

2 weeks post-op update

Bruising is improving but there is pain in my thighs and in my buttocks where I had the fat transfer. My stomach has pain when I go from laying down to standing. Pain only lasts a few seconds but is about a 7/8. The one thing I don't understand is a pain on my right side below my rib. I can't take a proper deep breath without a sharp pain. I am seeing my PS next week and will inquire. Back to work but limited hours, tire quickly. Here are some new pics.

How are you doing now? Do you have any post op photos now that you have had some time to heal? I am considering this exact procedure.

How bad was the pain from thay?
June 18, 2017
I appreciate your review and would love to hear and see an update. I am considering similar treatment in the fall.

I imagine 2 weeks post op you were relatively still swollen and they true results not obvious until later. now that sufficient time ha passed how do you feel about the surgery and results. Would love an update. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
