3 months
WORTH IT$4,400
I'm officially past the 3 month point and I am very satisfied with my results. My legs are the shape I always wanted! I've gone down 2 pant sizes and look so much better in my jeans! I still have cellulite where I used to have cellulite prior to my surgery so my body didn't respond to the laser part of the surgery like some other people but that's a whole different story. I just need exercise and a proper diet to help reduce cellulite. I'd ideally like to drop some weight to get closer to my goal weight so I'll see how that impacts my overall results when I hit the 6 month mark. My skin has tightened up quite a bit - especially in my inner thighs. I started trying to lighten up my incisions. I did get some hyperpigmentation but they honestly look like freckles and the lightening cream has been effective. I'm hoping the scars will be completely gone by the 6 month mark. Overall, very happy!

7.5 Weeks Post
I'm now almost 8 weeks post surgery. I'm no longer sore and would say a lot of my swelling has gone down but I have a little bit left - 3 months should be the magic number I hope for all the swelling to be gone. I've gone down from a 29 jean size to a 26/27 and love that! I do find that some days I have pronounced cellulite on the front of my thighs as well as the back and others not as pronounced. I'm not sure what causes that. I have been trying to massage my legs most days with bio oil to see if it will help with improving circulation and reducing swelling. 5 of my incision holes are completely closed up but 4 are still healing. I have two more months before I go on vacation and have to be in a bathing suit so hopefully they will be all healed by then. I have my next appointment at the 3 month mark so I hope to post good progress!

I think you look great! I have your thighs. I think I am going to cool sculpting because of the price. Had you tried that before ?

Thank you! I haven't tried cool sculpting but I did look into it. I went for smart lipo because the cost quoted for me was not that different and I thought I'd dive right in with invasive surgery. Good luck with your procedure! It's honestly the best decision I've made! I can finally not feel self conscious in jeans!! :)

You look great!! I live in the area and am considering the procedure myself. My concern is the contor of my inner thigh becoming completely misshapen and the exact problem you are talking about, the cellulite look. How long do you have to wear your compression garments?
Keep us posted about the intermittent look of cellulite and if the Dr. gives you an explanation behind it.
I'm thinking of setting something up for the fall so I will have time to heal in comfortable weather.

Thank you! I wore the garment 23 hours a day for 2 weeks then I didn't have to wear it at all. The intermittent cellulite is gone now at the 3 month mark. The only places I have cellulite now are the places I had cellulite prior to the surgery. My inner thighs have tightened up a lot in this past month so I think everything just takes time - I'll be excited to see my results at the 6 month mark! Good luck with your decision making!

Last Velashape Treatment
I just finished my last Velashape treatment and I have to say I am very pleased with my results! I am 5 weeks post op and I see improvement every day. I can't say enough good things about the staff at the office. They are all so pleasant and attentive! I can't wait to see what I look like at my 3 month post op check up!

Looking good!!I live in the Boston area and am looking for a good MD. Did you do your lipo under local or general? What is Vela Shape and what was the need for it?
Thanks
Thanks

Hi Poopa! I did it under local but honestly with the meds they gave me, I pretty much slept through the whole thing. I remember them waking me up to move me but that's pretty much it! Velashape was included in my package. It helps activate the lymphatic system to reduce swelling and help tighten the skin. Dr Kruy is very realistic about what to expect with results and his staff is so nice and attentive.

Do you know which meds dr gave you before the procedure? I did under local and I was in a lot of pain!!
