Hello everyone !

I am going in for my flank and upper abdomen lipo and week from Thursday.

I had a tummy tuck about two years ago and I'm very glad I did it, however since I had the full TT my love handles have been bothering me. And I also have a bit of " dog ear" on the ends of my tummy tuck scar that point out funny. I love the hour glass figure but unsure with my bone structure if getting the lipo will help , hoping it will give me a less " boxy " look . Getting nervous !!

Welcome to the Community, and thanks for starting a pre-op review on RealSelf.  Very exciting that you are a few days away!  Are you preparing for surgery is any way?

I had my liposuction done 10 days ago, lower and upper abdomen,flanks, hips. Saddle bags, best thing ever,was a size 14 when started, people has commented straight away saying I've lost weight you look smaller, Ive dropped a size already fitting into size 12 clothing, :) I took two body suits to put on straight after the surgery, one was to sm at the time and didn't fit me, couldn't do it up and the other didn't fit that tight,I woke up and the first thing my doc said you have ur smaller suit on, I then new my shape had change, 5 litres later, was sore wen getting up and down or moving first wk, but feeling great now, would recommend it to any body who wants to resculpture ur body :)I had not told all my family I'm just enjoying the comments

Thanks for posting. I am interested in getting lipo on my flanks and dog ears leftover from TT in 2006 which at the time was not bad at all, but over the years and a little weight gain the dog ears has gotten bigger and I want them gone!

Getting nervous ! Had another meeting with my PS yesterday to make sure that we are on the same page and I must say I am feeling much better ! I really appreciated that she took the time to speak with me again and settle my nerves. Dr. Holland is awesome!

Yesterday I had my lipo yay! I checked in was prepped for surgery and my PS came into mark me up on the areas she planned to treat. Then and only had a short wait to go into surgey. I Remember seeing the bright surgical lights and my O2 being put on and I was out like a light :)
When I woke up I was sore, it was like a burning sore . I cried a lot waking up from anesthesia but I was happy that the procedure was over. I had some muffin and pain pills and I went home. I was able to walk right out of the hospital and to the car. Unlike my tummy tuck I was in a wheel chair. The ride home was about 45 minutes and painful , again like a burning pain. Once home I had a sandwich, 2 Vicodin 7.5/325 and slept till 8 pm. Once I woke up I actually felt pretty goods. I was up walking around had dinner and was back in bed by 10pm. My back was pretty sore , I'm not sure why, perhaps they had me in a awkward position during surgery. I put a heating pad on my back and took a muscle relaxer with my pain pill and that helped me a great deal. Even though i am swollen and black and blue I can see a big change . Pictures soon:)
