One year in and still loving my look

WORTH IT$2,900
Not as faithful with the eating habits but I still look wonderful. avoid salty food I always tend to retain fluid now when I have to much salt in my food since the surgery. Stomach is still a little flabby but I need to go to the gym due to the loose skin but it's overall not too bad confident in a two piece and crop tops it was certainly worth it!

Today the 16th!

So I have little lumps under my skin and meant to mention them but it's been this way for a few weeks now just feels like silly puffy underneath but I read it is normal. My parts are what cause the crease in my lower abdomen. I still wear my compression garment at all times night and day. Headed to the beach next Friday happy with my progress. Wrinkle where my belly button is, is starting to smooth out. Good luck ladies! Hope my post can help someone take this big step!

Hello I just went to tube same dr on wed how did u deal with tube itching
tube itching? Are you talking about during the procedure or the healing process?
did it really hurt
When he put the fluid in my body yes it was painful but bearable
Is then when u experienced the cheat pain? That's what I'm concerned about. Did he explain why your chest hurt...how long did it last
The pain was just when they put the fluid inside me just like the initial pain of an iv going into ur veins.
Please post some more after pics. I had my sx done by Dr Araya here in DC and my wrinkle to my stomach makes me so unpretty right now. Just had my surg on the first of Sept. He is a real cool guy but im worried my stomach will not be as good.
Posted a current update don't loose hope the ugly wrinkle should go away
Keep the compression garment on for as long as u can stand it. It does help

April 9th and things are looking great

Loving the progress here is my before and after one month post lipo. My crazy self decided to get a tattoo at this point. Might not have been my best choice but I did my research first and asked my dr if it's okay.

You have great results for being one month post op!

I really think it's all about the diet. I swell still when I have sodium. I also still wear my compression garment all day every day.
