Vaser Lipo to Flanks, Abdomen and Saddlebags two years post op

So here i am...two years post op Vaser lipo to my lower abdomen, hips and saddlebags At the start i was 66.6kg or 146 lbs. I am now 62kg or about 136lbs. Immediately after surgery i was swollen for a long time even tho i leaked quite a lot of fluid from my incision sites. Two years in and i still have the results. I need to put up some new photos so you can see as my last ones post op i was still around the 66kg mark. I have a whole new shape. I can wear skinny jeans and dresses on me are effortless as i have such a smooth contour. Out of my clothes isnt too bad either but as i used to weigh 230lbs i have a huge amount of stretch marks and loose skin that no amount of Vaser is going to solve. I wanted also to say that i have lost weight since my surgery. I plateaued at about 65kg post op and then i started running a bit more and eating a bit less and sure enough i have been between 60 and 63 kg for the last 18 months. One thing i have noticed is that i used to dieat like mad to try to get rid of the stubborn pockets of fat and because they never moved i often gave up. Now that they are gone, im not fighting against an imoveable object anymore so the few pounds i have lost has come off areas i never used to lose weight on like the inside of my thighs and my bum. I am more than happy to answer any questions for those of you considering the procedure. Best wishes!! Niceface

Here are my post Vaser photos. I am sorry for the long delay - I am now 4 1/2 months post Vaser to my lower abdomen, flanks and saddlebags. I always understood (as my Dr. Explained clearly to me) that my progress would be long and slow. I am now fully healed and I am over-all happy with the results. More than anything I can not say enough about my surgeon. I feel she really understands my desires but is also realistic with what I can expect and aim for. She wont just tell me what I want to hear but likewise she has my best interests at heart - or at least I feel she does. I have seen her numerous times post operatively and her care for me has been holistic and honest. My skin has resonded much better than my surgeon or I could have expected and I believe a large part of that is down to her skill with Vaser. I am definitely much more proportional in clothing - more of a true hour glass now that I am minus my saddlebags in particular. If I am going to be totally self critical I would say I feel I would benefit from more fat being removed from my flanks and around my belly button. On my flanks I feel I still have quite a 'shelf' of fat that sits above my bottom therefor reducing the appearance of a bottom - instead mine kind of melds into my back. Around my navel - which was always going to be one of the tricky bits - the very lower part has responded REALLY WELL with skin tightening and fat reduction. The bit above this around my belly button has reduced slightly but has proven to be quite stubborn. I will see my surgeon again for further review and I quite confidently put myself in her hands.

Hey everyone! I am now Day 2 Post Vaser - I will eandeavour to post you all some pics tomorrow at Day 3 once I have gotten the kids on the bus to school and can have 5 minutes of peace to myself!! I am seeing the tiniest bit of reduction in swelling but not anywhere near enough to tell what my outcome will be. I have stopped draining and am wearing compression inserts which go in your compression garment in order to keep areas smooth and unmarked form the garment as well as to add extra compression to these areas. I hope this will help my healing as I have loose skin issues and am anxious not to wrinkle. I haven't needed any painkillers today but imagine I will still be taking some tonight before bed. The wounds now (all 6 of them) are a bit itchy and still a tad sore but nothing too bad. I have minimal bruising which suprises me but I believe the compression helps with this.  I am desperate for a bath but it will be a while before I get one of those! Right - well - fingers still crossed for a great result. My rational mind says there is no possible way 1100 cc's of fat can be sucked out of you withou you seeing a difference. Just need to bide my time!
