25, No Kids, Lipo on Upper/Lower Abdomen and Flanks!- West Hollywood, CA

Wow! I can't believe it has been a year. What a journey it's been. As much as I've enjoyed a smaller mid section I don't know if I would do it again. I could have achieved these results with just working out. I've done it before I was just too lazy to put in the effort. So now I do have loose skin and my stomach is not tight it is very jiggly. Recovery was brutal but pretty much after 3 months it was smooth sailing. I can still feel scar tissue and I think I need a revision. I asked my doctor for a revision around 6 months but he denied me. I was pretty upset. He did say I have residual fat around my belly button but didn't want to risk making it look worse :(. I think maybe in the future I'll look into getting a Rivision. Overall I'm happy. After the Lipo I got so much more serious about health and I have lost over 40 pounds since the surgery. I worked out a lot and are extremely healthy! This is key!!! Lipo is not a weight loss solution it is only body contouring!

I promise you! It gets better and better! Just when you think you are at your end result you ARENT! Your body will continue to improve over an entire year! It's officially 4 months and I'm so happy my stomach looks like this so early. The only complaint I have is the fat it seems like he might have missed on my sides. Kinda gives my stomach a box look. I am going to try to Melt that fat away with diet and exercise! If not I want to get a revision. I also can finally fit into my size 12 pants again! So excited! Before surgery I was a size 16. Then with lipo down to a 14. Then working out and dieting I have finally reached my goal! Anyone have excellent scar cream they can suggest? People have asked about my scars! Kinda embarrassing. I use mederma but I think it sucks lol.

Anyways here are some pictures when I was in the beautiful Dominican Republic last week!!!

Happy Healing everyone

Time seriously flies after 1 month post op! After all the swelling goes down this surgery no longer consumes your life I remember right after surgery I was seriously checking for progress and taking pictures everyday! So crazy lol. I set an alarm on my phone before surgery to tell me I was 3 months post else I would have never even known haha. Life is great! I am wearing all the clothes I've always wanted to wear and slaying hard! Lol.

I feel soooo sexy! This surgery has been such a confidence booster. I think my results are so great because I have been hitting the gym hard! Since about 3 weeks post op! And I've also been eating very healthy! (High protein, low carb, lots of veggies). So ladies don't forget about that part! You don't want to gain any weight back! It's a myth you can still gain weight back into your lipo'd areas!

So now for the bad. I have some unevenness still you can see in pictures. And I think my doctor missed some fat on the sides. When I wear tight clothes I get a muffin top :( but it's still early! I'm hoping it smooths out but it not I'm definitely getting a revision! But seriously no swelling unless I eat something super salty and when I drink! I've noticed i swell when I drink alottttt! Kinda sucks but goes down quickly!

Happy healing everyone here are some pics
