Post op experience
I've been lucky and have had a good post op experience for the most part. My procedure was at about 7am. I remember parts of the procedure in fuzzy pieces, I remember some pain but nothing too bad. I was pretty nauseous post op and had a few doses of anti-nausea meds during my time in recovery and a few vomit sessions. I had to hold a vomit bag while walking from the day surgery to the car which was pretty embarassing, with one vomit happening while walking through a shopping centre section (while looking incredibly daggy in trackies that were bulked up by absorbent pads wrapped around my legs).
I mostly slept when I got home. I couldn't keep any fluids down and vomited every time I tried to drink. Couldn't stomach any food that day either.
The next morning I had a pretty big headache, probably from dehydration. I had a couple of panadol and drank as much as I could and felt much better within about an hour. I didn't need any other pain medication, including panadol after this point. I found the pain to be uncomfortable but not bad. The most annoying part has been the garment. It felt really tight on my waist and around the back of my knees. It has become more comfortable over time though. Peeing in the garment is also a pain. Usually, now I just pull it down to pee because I find it easier.
Other than that, now at two weeks post op I feel like I could return to my normal workouts (I won't because I'm not supposed to until 4-6 weeks post op). I've been walking every day since 1 day post op. Moving helps keep you feeling good.
I had 10 days off work, bit could have gone back at day 5 or 7. Once the leaking has stopped (day 3 for me) it's much easier.
Lymphatic massages were included in the cost of surgery and these have been good. I continue to massage my legs once a day and apply arnica to help with bruising and swelling.
The swelling set in pretty quickly for me. I think I was swollen on day 1 and its just been starting to go down a bit in the last few days. I'll post some photos up shortly.

Vaser to Inner and Outer Thighs with Fat Transfer for Cellulite
Like many here I’ve always had a thing about my thighs. As a teenager, I was so focused on achieving a certain look for my thighs that I developed an eating disorder. Luckily I managed to get over that and return to a healthy body weight and mostly healthy mind. Now in my 30’s I’m
At the most comfortable with my body that I ever have been (obviously still not completely comfortable with my thighs). I feel like this is the perfect time to finally go ahead with something I have thought about on and off for years.
I work out regularly about 4 days a week (7 days a week before I had my son) and eat a mostly healthy, plant based diet. Over the years I have been on some very restrictive diets and exercised excessively with little change to my thighs unless I am severely restricting calories. I am not interested in putting my health at risk for achieving a result that is almost impossible for me to get naturally so I feel this surgery is actually a healthier option to extreme diets and exercise. I’ll continue to exercise 4 or so days a week once approved by my surgeon (I usually do interval or HIIT style weights and cardio based routines) and eat healthily after this surgery in order to maintain an overall healthy shape and body.
I did a bunch of research and had initially looked into a plastic surgeon, however, after contacting a few I found they did not perform these procedures often enough or have enough before and after photos. I found cosmos clinic who perform I think the most vaser Lipo procedures in Australia. They have a judge amount of before and after photos and very good reviews. So after contacting a few other places I decided that Cosmos would Be the best choice for what I was after.
I was also interested in having cellulite on the front of my thighs treated. This is something that has made me very self conscious in shorts or skirts for about 10 years. I haven’t seen many women with cellulite on the front of their thighs which adds to my self consciousness. I started developing it not long after returning to a healthy weight (about 50kgs) and it doesn’t seem to matter how slim I get it is still there. There is no definite way to get red of cellulite and all the treatments I have researched only seem to offer temporary solutions. Cosmos offer a fat transfer where they inject your fat into the indents to “fill” them in and hopefully smooth out the skin. It’s still not guaranteed but it’s worth a shot. This alone cost $1000.
I had the surgery about 4 days ago and will do another post to talk about my post surgery experience.
