Surgery was 1/19!
So far so good. I definitely needed an ab board and a lumbar/ back board for post-op because I'm naturally curvy and the waist trainer and compression garment are creating some pain and bruising.
A week post op, the majority of my swelling is in my lower back and hips.
I got my ab board 6 days PO, and I ordered a back board which will be here today for my lower back pain and swelling from the waist trainer.

You look great! That's good to know about the boards. I'll make sure I get some ready. Any feedback about the feeling during the procedure?

Google Post op ab board and post op lumber board... they basically create protection for your body from the harshness of the garments to help lessen pain and bruising, swelling etc! I had so much pain without them.

Swelling

Started noticing lumps all over in random places that I received the lipo (which is normal). They are pretty painful, I rub a little to massage and then leave them alone. I think the most important part of this particular phase of recovery is to keep wearing your compression. So far, things are going well and I am excited to continue seeing results.

Aside from coconut oil (which I previously did not mention):
The lumbar support & ab board are ESSENTIAL for me. They greatly decrease pain from swelling and fluid retention!!!
Before I shower:
I use the dry brush (purchased from amazon to stimulate blood flow and circulation as well as to aid in exfoliation of skin)
Following shower:
I apply coconut oil all over my body and then apply the compression garment and waist trainer (or just compression). I have several types of coconut oil all virgin and unrefined... it doesn’t really matter the brand and you can get it from any supermarket, Walmart, etc.

So I’m one week out, and my back and stomach are both very sore, is that the reason you got the boards? Also did your feet swell?

My feet did not swell. Yes the soreness lasts quite a while. Full recovery is around 6 months. The boards help tremendously with the pain/soreness.

Thank you! You look awesome! I LOVE my results! Just trying to make sure I’m doing everything right in recovery

Hi, thank you for your updates, they are much appreciated. How are you liking your results?

I love my results. They would be even better if I would eat healthy. When I start eating cleaner they look amazing. When I'm eating whatever and not watching calories of course I'm bloated and the curves are less defined but I don't look anything like I did before either way. I will post more updates !!!

What's the purpose of the coconut oil?

After the procedure your skin needs to rejuvenate itself. When you remove fat your skin needs to shrink back down, as it's been expanded by the underlying fat. The coconut oil provides lipids and fatty acids to add moisture into your skin allowing it to stay hydrated and to repair itself. :)

Ok....I'm using arnica cream, gel and dissolvable pellets during the day.
I do mix it up with Jergens skin tightening lotion at night after the shower.

Hi. I am having lipo 360 in October. Did you also wear compression socks. Thank you for mentioning coconut oil.
