3 and a bit weeks post-op
So I’ve removed the 4D vest at the 3 week mark and wearying just the compression garment for 8 hours a day. I do feel like I can move much better but I must admit I do miss the security of the 4D vest.
I’m still experiencing some discomfort and I’m sure that I’ll be told it’s normal and still very early. Most of the pain is around the hips.
My body seems to have changed so much from day 1. At times I don’t like the appearance as my torso is still discoloured from the bruising but more than that as the swelling subsides I can see the unevenness and lumps and bumps and I wonder if I will get to that really smooth stage. I have been having MLD sessions but been told I don’t need anymore as there is no water retention or swelling.
Overall I still like the shape from the Lipo but I’ve not lost any inches.

So things are starting to feel better for sure but the pain has not gone. Most of it is in my back. I did find that when I took the compression garment off the pain eased off so much. I asked the clinic if I could have some respite from the 4D vest and garment and they advised against it, I guess no pain no gain.
Tomorrow I get I remove the compression socks which I’m so happy about.
After 3 MLD sessions my therapist has said I don’t need anymore however I may go in for one more. You can see she used Kinesiology Tape to reduce the swelling, this totally helped in my opinion.
My mood has been up and down over the last couple of weeks, I suspect not sleeping will play a large part in this but it’s on the up. My appetite has been bigger than normal, hoping that’s normal during recovery.
My skin is really dry near where he incisions have been made, don’t know if this is linked to the incisions or anaesthesia?
