Just a couple of pics at 13 weeks post op. Getting back some feeling, numbness is wearing off in some areas. I am pleased with my healing process. Hope I can help someone. I know before my surgery this site was useful!

So helpful! Did you get lipo of your lower back above your butt?
So glad I can help! Yes, I did; the whole flanks area above my butt.
Did you get a numbing agent like exparel during your procedure that helped you in the days after?
Any scar updates!? Any tips on best healing because your scar looks absolutely amazing

12 weeks post op. & items that helped me
I am 12 weeks post op. now. I feel great! The swelling is off and on, mainly after working out or moving a lot throughout the day. It does subside though. It's been surreal wearing a two piece bathing suit this summer. At more importantly feeling confident doing so. I wanted to post some items that were really helpful during my recovery, especially in the first few weeks.
1. An extra binder; washing the first one.
2. Antibacterial cloths, for washing since a shower and bath are not an option in the beginning.
3. Nightgowns that open in the front, this makes it much easier for the drains and loose for comfort.
4. A recliner. I slept in this for about a month.
5. Arnica gel & Arnica tea, good for bruising and swelling.
7. Biotin oil & scar strips, after 6 weeks and when my surgeon approved.
These were the most useful items for me.

Did you ever feel the need to wear a faja or order it off Amazon ??
Hi, no I did not get or wear a faja. There were times after my six weeks that I put my binder on to help with swelling but my Dr. did not require anything after 6 weeks.
