2 weeks post-op LBL updated pics

Well things are certainly starting to get better.
The swelling has come down.....I can get into my pre-surgery jeans which is a good feeling.  I'm a little extra swollen today because I went shopping yesterday, did too much walking and sitting, I didn't drink enough water, and I had a bad nights sleep.  I'm sure the swelling will be down again tomorrow or Friday.

Anyhow...I can tell things are starting to heal.
The butt is SO SORE but I actually had a little discomfort in my thighs for the first time....I think it's only because the pain in the butt is a little less that I'm feeling the thighs...LOL!!!

I'm still amazed at just how sore my butt is but I'm even more amazed at the difference in how it looks.  My surgeon is an artist (don't we all say that about our surgeons...LOL).

Anyhow I updated my pictures blocking some of the skin so I'm not feeling as "exposed".

Hope you are all healing and happy with your results.

It's good that your swelling is getting better. I hope that the soreness eases more and more as each day passes. You look great, Ruth and I'm so glad that you are happy with your results.
 
I need to do some updated pictures of my arms and legs. I am 8 weeks out today from those procedures and the scars are really faded on my arms now and the thigh scars are better than they were.

 Hi Renee,
WOW that's amazing that your arm scars are fading already.  Are you using any special cream?  I still can see my arm scars and it's been 8 months!

I just took a pain killer cause I've been up doing more today so my tush is a little more swollen/sore.  Tomorrow will be an easier day....

I bought the Bio-Oil from Walgreens. I have been leaving the ace bandages off all day. I rub my arms down once during the day then at night I rub them down again with the bio-oil and topped off with more neosporin, then I wrap them in the ace bandages to sleep in. It seems to really be working well for me. I still have some slight bruising from the lipo. It amazes me that you can remain bruised for 8 weeks.

You look awesome!!!! My biggest swollen area is my lower back and flanks..thighs and calves have come down some. My garment is def tighter in the evening though! You are going to look amazing once this is said and done.

Thanks Tammy!
