My up and down journey

Hugs! I would recommend getting fitted for a bra at Nordstrom. They do such an excellent job-it really helps with the look of back rolls/fat. I'm starting to wonder if my stomach is ever going to look right-maybe it's excess skin and not fat coming back. My 6 week post op is tomorrow.

I had gone through the same thing as you. I had a whole handful of back fat under my bra roll. The doctor said it is the hardest area to do lipo on. I then went and got a 2nd opinion. Was told the same thing from that doctor. These are board certified plastic surgeons. So I had it done anyways because I was told I would get results. Well, I barely got any results. I was pissed at the doctor because I was told he would make a difference. I spent 3,5000. So I told him to fix it! He said he tried to warn me. I said fix it and do it again. I barely looked any different. I let him no if he did not go back in and do it again I was suing if he did not give me my money back. Again the doctor told me before the surgery that there would be a difference. Sooo, he says the only way to make it look perfect is to cut the skin along my bra line and cut the fat out and bring the loose skin up. He said a big part of it was loose skin. I only weigh 140 pounds. I have never been over weight in my life. Just this damn back fat under my bra. He said I will have a scar though but it can be hidden. He said after me demanding he get it right did the 2nd surgery at no charge. It looks good now but i do have a scar. You can not see it under my bra or bikini. You can not longer wear a string bikini for your top though, but that's o.k. I have been using a scar cream now to help fade the scar. This will take some time to fade. I had this done in April. Tell him he has to get it right. You paid for a service that he did not deliver. The best to you. I had this done is Sacramento.

Hey it does take at least 6 mod for your entire body to heal. Sweetie stop checking your back put daily. continue to eat healthy and go to the gym and ask a personal trainer to help with your back, don't let this vain part of you destroy you. Come on, your back needs lots more healing, stress keeps that from healing. Have patience. Lv & hugs. angelface 1

Can I tell you something? Can it possibly be because before you had fat rolls and now the skin it is empty? I know that after liposuction, after a fey weeks skin migh be saggy, but this is a part of the healing! The skin needs time to reattach to muscles and everything, and this is why you need take time to heal. I know how sometimes we can be harsh on ourselves but something takes time, maybe it is really swelling. Take care and keep us updated!

Forgot to mention, when I spoke with my PS about back rolls, he said he'd have to lipo and cut excess skin out...maybe your dr doesn't do it this way but I was told the skin is stretched and doesn't flatten out out on the back.

You are not alone. It's only been about 5 weeks for me but even my PS expected more of an improvement. I'm still very swollen and I've started massage treatments this week to hopefully see some improvement.

It kinda looks like your bra strap may hav pushed your skin down and then it healed that way. Did you wear a compression garment for long enough?
