Procedure Diary
Procedure: Liposculpture
Why you chose this procedure? I chose this procedure because I had some stubborn areas of fat, despite doing regular exercise and generally good dieting I was still finding it hard to moves these stubborn areas of fat.What you did to get ready for procedure? I had to have a consultation with Dr Murray, I read the theatre pack I was sent which contained instructions on pre and post operative surgery care. I had some blood tests taken and filled the prescriptions I was sent. I began taking my antibiotics the night before my procedure.
What you felt during the procedure: I didn’t feel anything during the procedure, infact I remember very little about the procedure and when I was at the clinic and when I went home when my carer came to pick me up.
What you felt/saw post procedure: The day following my procedure I returned to the clinic where a nurse changed my dressings. I was then able to go home and with the assistance of my husband I was able to have a shower. The areas I had treated felt sore , it felt very similar to the feeling you get when you over exercise, I wouldn’t say it was painful, it was more sore. I had some bruising to the areas I had treated which disappeared within a week or so.
Results: I didn’t really see any results for a couple of weeks as I had bruising and swelling. I started to see more of a result about 1 month after my procedure. It has been 3 months since my procedure and I can see a real improvement to the areas I had treated. I am very happy.
Recommendations: I would recommend that you read the theatre pack they send out to you, this gives you sufficient information with regards to pre and post operative care guidelines. I found it very informative. I would also recommend preparing yourself in regards to expectations; it does take about a month to start to see results and improves more over time.
