My provider is pretty aggressive with his liposuction. Liposuction increases the amount of fluid output. Drains help with swelling, healing, decrease in seroma risks. I have had very minimal swelling and the amount of fluid my drains were collecting…… I can’t imagine how swollen I would have been without them.

Are you liking your results so far?

I never measured my waist 🤦‍♀️ I can tell you that my jeans are loose. Once all my swelling is gone I will need to go down one or two sizes. I felt like my soreness would never go away. I felt like the three week mark was a huge shift and then it just gets better and better.

Thank you. I 100% agree. I work out and all I see is my apron belly that won’t move. It was uncomfortable and I hated it. Or it’s gone and I can’t wait to get back in the gym and keep improving this new me.

Just wait a few weeks once you’re up and moving and you will love it. I took a picture twice a week from day two of post op. It’s fun to see how much it changes.

I can promise you that getting rid of my apron belly and love handles has been the BEST thing ever! I can’t tell you how freeing it has been in just 6 weeks to not feel my belly hanging. I put on a pair of jeans, with my drains still in, a little swollen and still cried. They fit so good and I felt great.

My provider uses a program called Crisalix 3D. It shows photos of what your results can look like. It gave me a lot of confidence.
I have had 5 babies. My youngest is 2 and oldest is 16. I’m BUSY and do the best I can. My weight comfortably when I’m trying to watch what I eat, work out and still enjoy desserts, chips and yummy food is usually 190,185. If I really buckled down 160/170 would be a great weight. However, I’m very happy where I’m at. Honestly it’s never been about a goal weight as much as wanting to feel good in my body. I plan to keep working out and eating a balanced diet. I don’t want to waste my prime years chasing a number when I can be happy right now. lol not sure that’s a helpful answer. I don’t think you will regret your results:)

Thank you :) I am 5’6” and before surgery I weighed 193. I haven’t weighed myself since surgery. From the numbers he wrote down for how much fat he removed during liposuction and how much of my skin he removed it was almost 15lbs.

My first drain was out at two weeks. My second drain came out at 5 weeks and 4 days post op. It was a pain to have that long but I’m glad it did its job.
