Mom of 2 (c-section) lipo on flanks, u/l abs and lower back

Minds was Jan 11 too! He told me to get ab and sideboards. I had tumescent lipo. He really didn’t have much advice my garmet is 2xl it’s so big at he top some women are saying their dr recommend them wearing tighter garments. Which type do yours recommend. They did a few weeks in this one and hen Spanx. Also are you getting knots? I’ve heard tighter cg makes that happen less.:-( It’s so hard when the dr isn’t as helpful adter

How long do you have i wear our cg?

So I am older than you, I have two kids that are 19 and 13. My PS told me to wear the garment for six weeks but because I’m older, I’m going to wear it the full 12 weeks, three months. I did a review of my tumescent Lipo with transfer to breast on here on. I will be 2 weeks this Friday and just ordered new garments in a size smaller which I will start wearing by Friday when they arrive. I think it’s normal to be bigger in the beginning because your swollen still. If your garment is big, you should think about getting it in a smaller size. It will help with contouring and your skin adhering back. I use the Merena brand. It is an excellent brand. I ordered the new garment without the zippers (stage 2) and also a garment that goes from mid thigh up to right below my breasts. I also just ordered a lipo board on Amazon, even though my surgeon did not recommend it to me. I am starting to see more bumps and irregularities on my stomach and can feel real penis in my flanks where he perform the Lipo. I am getting lymphatic massages a couple of days a week from a massage therapist who was trained in Columbia. She assured me that that was totally normal and just keep massaging at least twice a day on all your areas. I also have ordered a scar cream that I plan on starting to use on my incisions as soon as my scabs fall off. Right now I’m just putting vitamin E oil on them twice a day.

It was hard finding him. I don’t think he’s bored certified. http://www.labodysculpture.com/ here is the site

His page i listed above.

I’m feeling pretty good! I’ve been around moving since the first day then tried resting day 2. Lots more moving doing house work and dealing with my children. I got my it’s lymphatic drainage massage last night and it made me feel 100% better as I’m starting to get knots.. i only bruised really on my c- section area!! I’ll post photos tonight!

Hi! Your results look great! Where did u get your lymphatic drainage massage? Have u noticed anymore changes? Do you still wear your compression garment?

Thanks so much! I went to a spot off Ventura it wasn’t the best I’m looking for someone now who’s not crazy expensive. The dr says o wear the garments for 12 hrs a day. I’ve been out of it 3days by back in now. I want o get more massages and I’ve been in the gym. I’m not as small as I was by still losing the results. I keep getting asked if I did anything to my butt lol

Thanks so much!! Right now I’m supposed to be in my garments 12 hours I sometimes don’t wear it nd I’ll wear my waist trainer. I really don’t think where i went was the best for massages I’m searching now for massage techs. I noticed a few fat or pockets that needs to drain but I’m so happy with my results and I’m working out for the rest. I knew Lipo wouldn’t end all my fat especially after two kids (c section) I’m just happy for a flat stomach and better offing clothes.

Your results are so good. Your waist is so small. Maybe you can post some new pics now that time has passed. Are you completely healed now? Would you do it again? Do you have visible scars? You have very good results!

I didn’t have it done but he went in at my c section area so it was swollen for about 2 days

Ok, gotcha!
One more question... I’ve only planned to take 2 days off work. Do you think that’s too little time for initial recovery?

What kind l work do you do? If you don’t mind me asking. If you can take breaks and kind of sit back or upright instead of slouching it makes a big difference. I just ordered foam to put under my plantias (boards) bc it hurts not intolerable just very uncomfortable I’m taking the pain meds before bed to at least give my body rest. Honestly if you can do 3-4 of just resting and light waking that would probably be best.

I guess it’s more like a hard work out so my upper body is really sore and my abs feel unstable. They took out 1330ccs which the dr said is 7lbs of fat!!

I can’t wait to hear how yours go! Good luck!!!
