After

Thighs
21"
122 lbs

I visited my Cosmetic surgeon on Monday and as far as he's concerned, I didn't need to come back. He was amazed at how fast I recovered.

I am absolutely thrilled with my results. My hips and thighs now have a really nice shape...no more lumps and bumps. The inner thighs are the most difficult to shape but I think he did a good job. I can even tolerate my cellulite now. By the way, my cellulite didn't get worse, if anything it looks better. After looking at the before and after picture I must say I have a very nice behind. I never thought I'd say that!

He said they took out approximately 2,000 cc's which is equal to about 2 liters of fat. I was pretty sore the first week but day by day it got better. I was able to start Cathe again at 3 weeks. What's really cool is, the doctor said I should continue improving over the next couple of months.

Just wanted to share with my Cathe sisters.
 
That is so fantastic! I am so glad to hear you are happy with the results and happy with the "new you"!

I had a breast augmentation almost a year ago, so I speak from experience when I say you still have some swelling that will go down over the next 4 months or so. I noticed a huge excelleration in my healing once I was aloud to start Cathe again. I had to wait 4 weeks and two weeks later I was back to 100%...just a little swelling!

Again, so glad your path to recovery was a smooth and satisfiying one for you! You should post us some pictures!

Oh, and P.S., need I mention what a GREAT summer you are going to have?;-)
 
Good for you Candi! Oh boy I would love to get rid of my dreaded saddle bags (I've been working out forever and they're still there... hurting my eyes!!!) Sounds that you had a great doctor. I'm curious about the incisions, if you don't mind my asking, how many, how wide and where did you have the incisions done?
 
Hi Candi,

I'm SO glad things worked out well & you're happy with the results. A little help can be a wonderful thing! Of course, we all know you recovered so quickly & easily, even wowing your doctor, because you do Cathe! ;-)

Enjoy!
Ruth:) :) :)

Thanks for your comments.

I intend to get DH to take some pictures soon so I can post them. Unfortunately, we did not take before pictures at home, but have taken several after pictures. The doctor used an old fashioned Polaroid so we only have paper copies. Oh, well. I'll see what we can do.

As far as the incisions, there were twelve. They are very tiny...about 1/8 inch. The doctor assured me that after a few months they will not be visible anymore. But even if they were, I'd still be happy!
 
From one patient to another, take LOTS of pictures! I took weekly photos for the first 3 months, then monthly photos and I will do that up to one year. I have an album and I LOVE flipping through and looking at my progress! TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES!!! You will be so glad you did!
 
Thanks for sharing your results with us. I'm so happy for you. Enjoy shopping for all those new summer clothes you'll be needing.
