Liposuction 2022

Justina88
I have my scheduled liposuction of the inner and outer thighs, stomach and flanks tomorrow April 14. This is my second time on the inner thighs and stomach area. My first procedure produced great results that lasted with maintaining my overall healthy diet and exercise.
I recently had another baby, who is now a year and a half. My stomach now has a lower pouch I have not been able to get rid of, even after losing all the baby weight. I also have slight saddle bags I wanted to reduce.

May I ask who you are using and where you're located at in Virginia. I'm in Midlothian near Richmond and thinking of getting some Lipo, but afraid I'll pick the wrong doctor. I look forward to following you. Thanks

Plastic surgery Center of Hampton Roads and Dr. Vonu. He came highly recommended the first time I had lipo and I was very happy with the results so I decided to go to him again

Day of treatment

post-op night of my surgery

The staff was very nice, just as they were last time. My nurse was awesome, I HATE needles and the IV was quick and easy, so thankful she was good at inserting IVs lol. When I first got home around 6 the pain was isolated to my butt, I added cellfina, so I think that is why. It's now 11pm and other then when I get up to use the bathroom the pain is minimal, my legs start hurting pretty bad when I get up and that pain seems to last awhile. The compression garment is comfortable in my opinion and I like that it's black.

The photos are from when the Dr. marked me up prior to surgery.

Day 1 post op

Justina88
I feel fine today, day 1, but am bleeding like a stuffed pig. I've already gone through all of the pads/dressings they gave me so my husband is having to pick up more. The swelling and bruising is something fierce but I'm not in any pain. Sore when I sit to go to the bathroom but no words then a good workout.

Day 1. The swelling and bruising are awful but I don't hurt at all. A little sore, like if I got a good workout but nothing that requires any pain meds. I'm up and moving around just fine. I am bleeding HORRIBLY, I have gone through all of the pads/bandages they gave me already, and woke up at 5am soaked in blood.
