Tumescent Lipo with micro cannula

I still have some skin that needs tightening but overall very satisfied. My incisions didn’t really scar and 5/6 have mostly disappeared. I get the occasional numb feeling in my flanks area after a long day or lots of activity. I have also dropped 15 more pounds by changing my diet and I feel like the decision to have this lipo started me on the right path. Love my tiny waist!

I would say I’m 90% healed. I’m almost at the 4 month mark. I have some numbness a couple times a week where my love handles once were and a tiny bit of swelling. I am very happy with my results and trying to lose my tummy, but may be going back for that as well! Worth the pain and the suspense of 3-4 months. Some skin is still stretched but overall very happy.

Day 1 wasn’t that bad post-op but day 2 was extremely painful. I do not like the narcotic pain killers so it was my own stubbornness that made it much worse than it should’ve been. That night I had to give in and take the pain med. day 4 and 5 I felt better. Sometime I get a little anxiety about having to be in compression all the time, but my shape looks great. Some bruising around the hip incisions and most of the swelling is where the love handles and lower back fat were. I use a ton of arnica and have eaten a whole pineapple over the course of these 6 days. Arnica heals my bruises very very quickly. He more I apply, the faster it works so I can’t wait to start using that. My small incisions have healed to the point that I didn’t need pads on all 6 of them today. Hope this all helps! Happy I can take ibuprofen and alternating that with Tylenol seems to help. I only take the Percocet at night now. 1/2.
