How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

1 Week Post op
Pain is subsiding. It's mostly in the lipo spots and feels like just major brushing, though the appearance of a bruise is faint, if any at all! :)
I'm still fairly swollen, as you can see in the pictures, but I'm really happy so far. I know the swelling will last a while so I'm just being patient.
Drains were removed Wednesday and I was able to shave my legs and take a nice shower. So nice! They also weighed me at Wednesday's post op. I'm the same weight. I'm not surprised. With all the swelling, and I was bloated cause I had not yet used the restroom (the Percocet made me constipated), I wasn't expecting to be lighter.
Really excited to start working out. It's still weeks away but I just want to tone up now.
Next follow up is November 12th. Hoping I'll get the okay at that point.

Post op day 2
This isn't the best photo but gives you an idea of where the incision is. I'm very happy so far!!
Post op day 1
I did not sleep well at all last night. Assuming it was a combination of attempting to sleep somewhat upright in a recliner plus pain medicine side effects plus pain, period. On the plus side, the pain meds are helping me. Based on other reviews, and staff recommendations, I know to stay on top of them so I'm not playing "catch up".
The tumescent fluid still has my backside feeling numb. I've read that it'll take my kidneys 24-45 hours to reabsorb and excrete. Wondering if I'll be in more pain when that wears off...
I haven't had what I would consider a lot of drainage but I'll discuss with doc at post op visit today. I'm most excited that the incision is so low. Dr Polynice had told me it would be but some other photos on here had me wondering how low they could actually go. I'll post photos as soon as possible.
More later!
