Spanx sells a few compression garments in petite sizes. This helps reduce creasing in my opinion. I'm only 5'1" and most fajas are too long.

Why I hate it is because it's 95 degrees outside and when I have to be out in it for 4-5 hours, I feel like I'm going to pass out or become a heat casualty due to my skin not being able to breath. And why does compression have to go down to my knees and up over my shoulders? I got some ab suction so why do I have to compress 80% of my body??? I've wore wrestling singlettes that are smaller. And every time you have to use the restroom (#2), you break a sweat just getting it on and off. And sleeping is just the worst. I wake up in the middle of the night with pain from my groin skin, pain from my shoulder skin, and pain from my under arm skin. And you want me to wear it for SIX MONTHS?!?! There has to be a better garmet.

I’m 6 month PO lipo abdomen& flanks w/renuvion. I def had creasing and my Dr said it was not a big deal. I still see rolls and lines. I think the rolls are loose skin. Is it worth putting my compression garment back on at this point or is it a done deal?

Hey, roughly how long does it take for the swelling to go? I had the surgery 2 weeks ago. My after picture what the surgeon took looks great . But right now one side of my labia is all tucked in and neat & the other side is a lot more swollen. Is this normal for one side to be tucked in and one side to be out I just hope it all goes in like the after picture. As it was so neat on the pic when it was immediately done. I had labia plasty and clitorcal hood reduction. I’m not in any pain but just hoping this swelling will go asap.

Breast implants don't belong in your body period, ladies. Before you do it, please listen to the thousands of women telling their stories on RU-vid of how implants destroyed their health and in some cases (including mine) almost killed them.

Mine went horribly wrong. The surgeon cut off too much of the labor, and actually cut off all of it. So now the outer skin has dropped and I pee differently(messy), I cannot fee pleasure during intercourse with my husband because there is no skin there where there should be. The whole inner labia is gone. Plus I had this “trim” of my labia done when I was a month pregnant so after o had my child, so much was going on that I did not find a lawyer in time to bring malpractice suit to the Dr before the statue of limitations lapsed. My life has been changed so significantly it makes me want to cry but I have no tears. I want so badly to enjoy my relationship with my husband but I have nothing to offer anymore. I live with a depression that only Gd can help me with. I should have never. The doctor I went to just took everything, I don’t understand how he could have done that. Sorry for the typos. I wish there was someway I could get a skin graft or something, but I’m sure it would be so expensive, I don’t even know if that would be possible. Just thought I’d leave this comment here, to warn anyone ever considering this. Also, the surgeon I went to is a top surgeon in in Scottsdale , AZ. It was not a cheap surgeon.

having labioplasty while pregnant... am I reading this correctly? If this was done for real medical reasons - you have my sympathy. If this was done for anything but medical reasons - you need therapy, bad. That is pure vanity and yes, malpractice from the surgeon - but for letting you do this while PREGNANT!!!.... well... if this is not a consequence of some really bad personal decisions, I don't know what is. Good luck *facepalm

I think I am going crazy because I can't find anyone else who reports this discomfort; any tricks on how to alleviate this irritation?? The full body suit with suspenders dig into my armpits. The arms only suits only dig in. ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO? Am I wearing them too tight??? Are the just arm sleeves only effective enough - or would it all heal weird with those? PLEASE HELP.

@d.c.4251
@d.c.4251 3 месяца назад
This was a waste of my time watching! One of the docs says the only thing you have to do (what they tell patients) is to wear a compression garment and then she talks about the "comfort" of them. No mention of walking for bits of time for the body to better recover, in addition to increase of protein, staying hydrated, various options for dealing with pain, burning sensations, itching, etc, not lifting more than 10lbs for at least 4-6 weeks, etc., etc. They do discuss eventually lymphatic massage. Wearing a compression garment for me has not been fun at all - they make it sound like a breeze! And since with lipo, it takes a lot of time and patience to see favorable results, it's a much more complex topic than they allude to. All in all, I would not want either of these ladies doing any procedures on me!

Hello! Ladies. I’m 23 years old, I had this procedure done 2/29/24. I wanted to do it since I was 15 years old but at the time I didn’t have the money. This procedure cost me $5500 I did it with a board certified surgeon, specialize on the genitalia of the woman. She has done over 2000 labiaplaties. She did mine under local anesthesia, and since I suffer from panic attacks she prescribed me a Valium which I took it 30 minutes before arriving to the clinic. When I was there it felt like I was just going to a spa day, I didn’t feel any pain, only thing I felt was cold and pulling but no pain at all. 2 hours later the local anesthesia started to wore off which I started to feel pain and I took the percocets she prescribed me I took one and I’m 30 minutes the pain was gone. I’m on day 1/3/24 and I feel like I didn’t get anything, it only hurts when I clean it or when I gently pad it when I go pee. But so far it looks swollen so I can’t really see my results. I’m so nervous to see how it’s actually going to look. Wish me luck. Any questions please ask….
@marylindeleon6618
@marylindeleon6618 3 месяца назад
Also, if you ladies didn’t know wearing tight shorts and cutting lipo foam sheets like a pad. So you cut the lipo foam sheet into a pad shape but not big just enough so you can put it in between your underwear and shorts, so basically you going to wear your underwear and a panty liner, and than your shorts and in the middle you put two foams well let me tell you that will help a lot with the rubbing you wanna keep that spot nice and tight that will help with swelling and that will help prevent you from rubbing on your underwear and causing damage to your stitches.
