1 month- finally some results
$10,000
At long last! The swelling in some areas is starting to go down and I'm beginning to see some results. Most notable is the bra roll and around the top. Lower areas still very hard and swollen, still quite painful. Seems a lot of water retention in my lower stomach and pubic area, too.
But finally SOME results!
I've included before and after pics. The different contouring is very obvious. To look at the pics you'd assume that there was a difference in size- but I'm still bigger around the waist and hips. About a 1 inch reduction under my bust.
The pics also highlight some of the weird lumps. The left side in particular is still very hard and lumpy- one pic clearly shows a weird protruding bit of flesh.
That said, I'm beginning to feel like it's getting better every day- less painful by far and hopefully I'll continue to shrink!
I do wonder if the diuretic helped, because the results really started to come on when I began taking it.
Really happy to be writing my first (mostly) positive update :)

Almost 3 weeks and WAY BIGGER than before!
I just wanted to post a quick update with pictures showing how much bigger I am than before. Most of my clothes no longer fit me because I'm so much bigger. This skirt used to fir me perfectly- now I cant even close the zip- I'm INCHES bigger!
I feel really upset and angry that it wasn't explained to me that this procedure would actually make me BIGGER. I knew to expect some swelling, but not this much and not for this long! If I had've known, I never wouldve got it done.

Our bodies naturally retain water around/on what it thinks is an injury so you are definitely going to be puffy for awhile. Hang in there! :)

Thanks for your encouragement! It's tough going at the moment so it's nice to hear :)
I've actually just started taking an herbal diuretic (Natural Balance, Water-x herbal blend) so hopefully it will make some difference! Trying to get more walking in my day, too.

I'm afraid this man disfigured me horribly with liposuction...:(

I'm really sorry to hear you had such a devastating experience- that truly is my worst nightmare.
Do you mean Prof Kunachek at Yoskarn clinic? Do you find telling me which areas you got done and what your experience was like?

Hello quiyu27, yes I do mean Prof Kunachek at Yoskarn clinic I'm afraid. Pleasant man, but he should really stick to rhinoplasty. One cannot be an expert in everything! I had upper and lower abdomen, inner thighs ans upper arms done. I said I only wanted a little lipo, but he literally sucked out ALL the fat. My skin is literally hanging . I can no longer wear skirts above my knees, let alone a bikini. The lipo was so aggessive and destructive that my blood flow was destroyed and beyond repair. I so wish I had gone to a doctor who specialises in lipo....

Hi Bodytalk, I'm really sorry to hear about your experience. I can't even imagine how devastating that must be for you- to have surgery to enhance beauty but for the opposite to happen! :(
It sound like you had a lot done! Was it all disastrous?
I was actually HOPING that they'd take away all my fat- so the opposite of your fear. In the end, I can still feel (what I think) are fatty areas that've been missed.
Interestingly, I did request Prof Kunachak to do lipo on my butt- he refused because he thought it'd be too saggy (I guess that means my butt was too fat for lipo) so maybe he's learned in these years!
I did go to that clinic especially for lipo as I know he's an expert in it. Otherwise, Yoskarn would never be first choice for lipo!
Thanks for sharing your experience- I hope you've found a great revision surgeon :)

Hi quiyu27, thank you for your kind words. Perhaps he's learned from what went wrong with me? I can only hope so.He was indeed shocked when I showed him the results 6 months later. Said there was nothing he could do but give me a thigh lift (with a scar down to my knees). And of course I would have to pay for that. I declined, as I didn't trust him anymore. I had a tummy tuck to get rid of the apron I was left with in the US, but it was only a partial one, as there was no more blood flow in my upper abdomen, and a full TT would have been very dangerous. :( I was gutted. Yes, it was all disastrous. My upper arms are ruined too: you can actually see the track of the cannulas!
I'm guessing that the cannulas used were way too big (and old?)which resulted in many scars and hanging skin.
I feel the problem with this clinic is that they claim to be an expert in everything. The even do work which is normally only done by gynecologists!
Sounds and looks like you'll be fine though, as he didn't over do it. I think it's pretty normal to be bloated for the first 6 months. I know it's hard, but try to be patient.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Please keep us posted over the months!

Hi Bodytalk, I just noticed I made a typo in my last post- I meant to say that I chose Yoskarn because theyre RHINOPLASTY experts, not lipo ( I intended to get a nose job there). But yeah, I know what you mean about the many surgeries they offer- stuff that you'd think should come from a specialist clinic.
I'm really sorry that you weren't able to get effective revision surgeries and that Yoskarn would make you PAY to fix up their mistake! Adding insult to injury! I guess that's why you have to sign that agreement, so you have no recourse. I can certainly understand why you would decline. I feel like if one surgery is done badly then youre in for a lifetime of expensive revisions :(
For me it's fingers crossed- finally starting to see some results! Looking forward to doing my measurements and making my 1 month post tomorrow. Thanks for supporting me- it really does mean a lot :)

Hi there. I see you starting to notice results and I am so excited for you! I noticed when I looked at your review to also tell you that I am now starting to get better and look better. I emailed the Dr and she assured me 4 weeks is still very early and I would be lumpy and swollen. I am massaging myself daily as recommended and I also started drinking warm water with fresh ginger which she said helps a lot. Not a pleasant taste but it sure does help. I feel encouraged now and I think I am now ready to start my review. All the best!

Day 15
Finally no more 24hr compression garments! What a relief it was to finally not sleep in them! I noticed an almost immediate reduction in swelling the day after they came off. Though to be honest I wear shaping pantyhose during the day so I'm not completely without CGs, but still, it's a lot better.
Was back at work on Monday and it's really painful sitting at the desk at day - especially when I need to get up. Walking after sitting for 1+ hours is really painful. Driving is also pretty painful.
In terms of results, I'm really still waiting. Minimal reduction in size, not really noticeable at all. My "shape" has changed, though. As the photos show, my tummy looks weird and wrinkled when I'm sitting. When just standing, the contour on my stomach seems weird, too. Like in and out in strange and different areas of my abdomen.
Bruising on my legs is starting to fade. I got some vitamin K cream, so hopefully that will help!
I can also feel fat in places where it supposed to have been suctioned. You can tell the difference between hardness/swelling compared to fat. And there is definitely fat on my upper right back. It's been completely missed- there is no numbness, swelling, hardness- just fat same as before. But the other side has been suctioned. Same goes for my left inner thigh- it's not the same as the right side, still sections of fat and no numbness etc. I wonder if I should tell the clinic but I can imagine they'll just tell me I need to wait to see results.
Hopefully I'll begin to see a change over the next couple of weeks. I'm really worried that I've spent all this money and got no benefit/results from this procedure at all.

I travelled home (3hour) flight on day 10 as well and was super swollen the next day and the swelling has only started to subside 3 days since the flight. I am also feeling a bit anxious as I feel my results have reversed significantly. The flatness of the first two weeks is gone and I am just hoping that it's all because of the swelling and will go away. I also got my period one week earlier than normal and it is heavier than ever. My tummy looks exactly like yours so hopefully this is the normal progression. I am sorry that I have been not motivated to write about my experience. Initially because I just wanted to rest in the first 2 weeks and now because I am back at work and have huge backlog to catch up on. I will keep following and updating you and hopefully soon will write my own review with pics. All the best!

Oh, I just realized my earlier comment used a different profile on June 23. After some discomfort i decided to close profile on this site then later felt like I had overreacted and still wanted to learn about experiences. My VL proceedure was in the 20th of June.
July 8, 2016
I'm sorry to hear about your results. I hope it begins to improve for you!
I'm finding it really difficult to stay positive and hopeful about my results, considering how minimal (even worse than before) they've been so far. I'm actually going to see if I can make an appointment with a surgeon here in Australia- get them to check my progress, make sure all is normal.
Being back at work has been difficult because so much sitting (and yes, all the work piled up on my desk!).
Where did you get your surgery done, if you dont mind me asking? I just wanted to share my experience because I know so many Aussie go to Thailand for surgery, so I hoped my experience could be valuable! But, I can certainly understand not being up to it- the 2-3 days after surgery I couldnt even be bothered watching movies.

You sound just like I did when I did my lipo last year. But don't worry, results can take a few months sometimes so hang in there. It took me about 2 months for the swelling to really go down. It's hard not to be anxious for results when you spend so much money and put your body through hell! I was hoping to drop a size and little weight but that wasn't the case for me. However, I do look much better in jeans and feel more confident :) Keep us posted on your progress!

I had the surgery done in South Africa, Cape Town. The Dr and her assistant are great and I enjoyed their attention. Just am worried now about results - just like you. My stomach is very lumpy. I had been warned though that all this would happen but it's just difficult to maintain the positivity when you are far from the Dr and can't get her to look and assure you that it's what they were referring to. Please let me know what the other surgeon says.
July 13, 2016
Thanks for your comment! I'm trying to stay positive, and above all else, patient! I'm hoping that I drop a couple of sizes but at this stage it seems unlikely :(
Am still feeling quite sore and pretty uncomfortable. I really can't wait for it to be over!
July 13, 2016
Yeah lookingsofine, I really hear you! The lumpiness is terrible and the weird hardness I have all over my tummy. I hope you're starting to feel better :)
Am actually about to go and get a massage so hopefully it helps. Will keep you updated when I get my appointment with a surgeon.
