I had lipo 360 done, before you go after me, I did have love handles and no matter how much exercising a roll that would not go away at 120 lbs on my small frame.

My doctor did warn me that he would have little to remove in my stomach, the love handles he could see removing the fat.

I have worn my compression 24/7 this week with be 2 month.

i noticed lumpiness from the beginning but it is going down just not completely smooth. I’m massaging and still wear my compression 24/7 and have 3 sizes of compression. now in the smallest for the last 3 wks.

When will the lumpiness be completely smooth? Or do I have to be concerned about scarring.

My doctor said final results are anywhere from 3 months, 6 months to a year, but for me since he removed so light possibly 3 months out… just concerned since I am hitting 2 months and still lumpy.

Day 14 post arm-lipo (full anesthesia) and I cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. Anyone else with these symptoms?

• Extreme exhaustion - I can sleep 8 hours then take a 4 hour nap during the day and still feel exhausted.

• Brain fog and nausea - especially right after I wake up

I just cannot seem to get any work done and it's getting discouraging. It's not like I can take a whole month off of work. Is this normal post-op?

Also, it just seems like my compression garment is SO tight and painful - impossible to get on. Causing me to wake up throughout the night as well.

Is this normal? My pants and undergarments are tighter than ever. I feel bloated and and a potato lol this is discouraging

Just had my follow up consult for my latest liposculpting procedure from Dr Heckenberg @ Be Sculptured. So very stoked with this result. If liposculpture is what you're looking for, Dr Heckenberg in Sydney and the Gold Coast is where you need to go. She is so lovely, realistic, honest with expected results and doesn't try and upsell you, which I've experienced elsewhere. I've had several areas done over the last 10 years, and each time I have full autonomy and open communication. Dr Heckenberg has a portfolio of work you can see at appointments to set your mind at ease . I have referred many of my friends here and will continue to do so!

Ive been diagnosed with lipodema in my legs. Has anyone managed to get rid of this without surgery?

Hello all, hope you’re doing well.

I’m currently day 3 post-op (lower back + flanks lipo) and noticed a small, ball-like lump in the treated area that feels like fluid.

Yesterday I wore double compression, and this showed up this morning. The area is still pretty numb, so I can’t really gauge pain.

I’ll be checking in with my surgeon when they’re available, but I wanted to ask here in the meantime, has anyone experienced something similar (a lump or fluid buildup) this early on? Would really appreciate hearing your experiences.

I am getting super anxious reading about the pain of the liposuction recovery. I am getting it one by Dr. Phillip craft in Miami. Does anyone have experience with him?
Please also tell me your experience with the pain level of liposuction recovery and how long it took to start living normally day to day, thank you!

So I am in the research phase of doing a liposuction in the belly and love handles as I feel that no matter the exercise, unless i fall alot in fat% i will have a huge portion of fat in there. The consistency required to work on that is smth I do not have anymore in my age (33) and there years I hate my body type analogies are too much to stay without action. Thing is, I am extremely disappointed with he ammount of before and after results (not the super good ones but in general) exist on the web and here in reddit. Is this thing real? Is it only for extreme cases? I see thousands of before and after in breast implants for women for example, why not enough male (and even female) liposuction cases?

I’m specifically looking to hear from people who did larger-volume lipo split into two surgeries within the same week/trip — not just one area.

I’m currently scheduled for:
– arms/back/abdomen on Wednesday
– thighs on Saturday

Consultation itself was genuinely great and the surgeon has strong reviews/results (lowest reviews on Unni are satisfied 7s), but I’ve gone down a rabbit hole reading complication stories (PEs, anesthesia issues, perforations, deaths, etc.) and now I’m honestly terrified.

I’ve had small-area lipo before, so it’s not lipo itself that scares me — it’s the amount being done + how close together the procedures are.

If anyone has personally done something similar:
– how was recovery?
– did you regret splitting it that close together?
– did your surgeon specifically explain why it was considered safe?
– would you do it again?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who did this in Korea/Seoul, but open to any firsthand experiences.
