Had lipo last week! The procedure wasn't too painful and I initially felt on a real high. In the process of recovery. It was more scary then I thought and results aren't instant. I'm very bruised and swollen. Wanted to really add photos to show recovery day by day for others to see. Will keep updating.

It looks good. Were you under general anesthesia?

I am three days post-op now, and have that same bruising. They say it's due to Gravity and all the fluids they added. Hopefully this will go away soon for us...

Day 5

Still swollen and very bruised. Noticed some rippling and bumps under skin. A bit worried bit hoping it will go down. Wearing compression wrap and looking forward to changing to an all in one garment as this is uncomfortable and quite bulky under clothes. Will add today's pic

Welcome to the flat side!  Loving your pictures and updates.  Did you just have lipo on your abdomen?
May 7, 2014
Hi Jill, thanks yes lower and upper abdomen. I'm 1 week in and struggling. My profile is flatter but my tummy looks bumpy and a bit flabby still. Is it still early days?

I hope it is getting better, sorry for the delay- I've been on vacation.  I think it sounds like normal healing- all of it.  But I've never had lipo, I just read all the reviews!

It is definitely improving now but I am getting a bit too used to compression garment! A little worried about taking it off! I had 1.5 litres removed from my tummy. Not loads but I wasn't overweight to start with.

Your post is very helpful! Thank you for taking the time. I am 1 week post lipo of abdomen, waist and flanks. Your pictures are just like i look. The fourth day was definitely the worst. I am wearing my cg 24 hrs a day but still have a lot of swelling and so sore.

How much longer are you suppose to wear it?  From your update it sounds like you might need a tighter one.  I'm sure it is easy to get use to after the initial uncomfortableness (I think I just made up a word).

It's the smallest they do! I would love to see your update Paas

Day 7

Struggling mentally and physically. I think I thought I'd see better results by now. Side profile is much better but face on it seems wider, bumpy and flabby. I'm sure it's early days still but I seem to need reassurance. Seeing nurse on Friday so hoping to get that then ????. I stupidly thought I would have a perfect flat tummy already! I need to get put of this compression wrap and into a spanx suit. I feel like very bulky with it on. Will try and post a pic later.
