Posting for a user who asked for an update. I weigh 135, same weight as when I had this done. My scars healed beautifully, back is still smooth, but stomach never got better. Sometimes it appears lumpy or saggy in the top portion, not smooth. Got a second opinion a year and half post and they said I should have used garments tailored to my frame because I don’t match up with standard sizing in order to have it be tight enough on the stomach. I don’t think a tighter garment would have changed the fat that wasn’t removed in my stomach… just maybe helped for a smoother result. Hope this helps!

11 days post op, progress feels like it’s degressing
Lolo439June 8, 2020
I’m 11 days post op now. Sleeping is getting easier. Officially don’t have to switch between my med & large Faja and waist trainer. Wearing the medium in both with an ab board and sometimes a lumbar board. My incisions are looking better on left side than my right. One opened up a bit the other day but it more seemed like it was a scab bleeding. I included photos.
I am now 2 pounds below my weight on operation day. And swelling feels better in certain areas besides in the middle of the night when I wake up. But things feel lumpy and don’t look as flat and even as when I was more swollen on day 6.
I am getting nervous that my stomach won’t be flat because my back is looking great and smooth but not my front. I’ve been massaging which seems to be helping But I’m still anxious.
I feel like part of the problem is my measurements I’m currently a 38-27-40. I feel like I could use a tighter garment in my stomach area but I can’t downsize because my hips are so large and my sternum hurts. I tried a metal corset the other day for a few hours so I could customize where I was tighter but took it off eventually because I didn’t want to be going against my plan from my PS.
I guess I just need to be more patient. I just expected to be looking better for each day, not worse.

You are looking great! Your waist is tiny! But I hear you! I'm at day 11 and I'm feeling the same way about my belly versus my back/flanks. But, my PS did say that peak swelling occurs 7-12 days post-op and will continue to dissipate and diminish as time goes on.
I scheduled a lymphatic drainage massage for tomorrow. May be something to look into to help with swelling and the slight lumps? I bought a package of three. I think we need to just take care of ourselves, trust the process and keep on!

I have been doing lymphatic massage twice a day for about 30 minutes total. It really seems to be helping. Ya especially with the swelling. But I think I will get a professional one after I see my PS on my 16 day follow up. Let me know how you like it!
I feel like my skin is loose. And that’s why it’s looking kind of funny right now; hopefully time will tighten things up :)

it looks like a compression issue. how much/long did you compress? did you have the right garment? also we’re you wearing tank tops under your Faja to avoid marks? doesn’t look like it

I know this is old and you don’t need the advice but for anybody that reads your post, and is having the problem with a small waist and large hips, there’s many faja companies that go by waist size and hip size separately. So the sizing would say “S/s ,S/L ,S/Xxl ,M/L ,M/xxl, L/Xxxl” etc etc. So basically the first size is the waist and the second is the hip and butt. So You would wear a S/L. Just google custom fajas and then look at the sizing and make sure it has double sizing like in my example

Omg! Thank you! My doctor is still making me wear them and I can’t do it faithfully because my hips are dying. Life saver! Very helpful

This link is for a completely customizable one, it’s expensive but she hand makes them and I’ll go find there other one that goes just by waist and hip size but this one goes by every measurement you can think of lol https://curvygyals.com/products/st-azar-traditional-faja

This one is the one that has separate sizing for waist and hip , there’s many more sites like this one but this one is highly recommended https://www.solbeautyandcare.com/en/products/reloj-de-arena-tira-delgada-a-la-rodilla
A YouTube channel has a coupon to save 10% and that code is VIXXEN with two “x’s” , also if you don’t want to spend that much then search for “Faja without hip and butt compression “ , theirs many companies that sell those which are made for the bbl but are great for any woman with a nice waist to hip ratio

Any update? Are you happy with results?
July 15, 2021
No I’m not happy with the results. My back looks nice but I didn’t really have a lot of back fat that bothered me to begin with. My front looks worst than it did prior. The doctor gave me more garments when I saw him at the 1 year mark. I think he just didn’t evenly remove the fat on the front of my stomach. I had a lot of blood in my fat collection jar because they pushed up my surgery and I hadn’t been off my vitamins long enough.
Many regrets

Would you mind posting a photo of the results you aren’t happy with? I just had lipo360 with Dr Long this week. I’m just curious to see. Thank you. Your initial results are beautiful!
August 16, 2024
I posted an update for you! Results never got better for me, but best of luck to you! Let me know if you have questions after you check out the update.

For some reason these photos didn’t post when I added them with the update below.
My review has to be 200 characters to post this so I’ll just add how important i have found it is to drink water to go to the bathroom. I am now drinking over a gallon a day, (approx my weight in ounces 135oz) and maybe that’s helping speed up the recover

Though I agree, Dr. long is very nice and did explain a lot but he also explained since I was so small that I could easily have a flat stomach. Which I never did
