;D I forgot to mention, the fat they sucked out my stomach (too bad they couldn't take more of it ;D) suddenly and without much notice, left. Just up and took off, one day while I was washing my hair, I noticed a dent behind my ear. I asked my husband and he said I was imagining things...how could the fat just disappear? Sure nuff, today when I ask Doc about it he told me some patients keep it and others bodies see it and it's absorbed back into the body. Yes, there is a cosmetic procedure to correct it if you want/need it, but it is NOT life threatening if you opt to leave it alone. (LIKE my brain leaking out ::)) You actually can't see it, I know it there cuz I feel it, just a little indent behind the right ear. Think I'll leave it alone.
Just passing it on, in case someone else looses there fat.
Guess this would be a p.s. to my previous post.
Be well ya'll

I'd like to lose the fat around my stomach! Too bad that didn't happen post surgery!

ME TOO!  I try not to touch behind my ear because it gives me the willies. But one day it itched and I freaked out because there was a massive dent, like the fat was gone. My husband confirmed that it looked deeper, where as before it was even with my head.
Luckily, I had a 9m check-up soon after and the doctor said that the fat compressed, actually shrunk. I asked him "Why can't it do that all over my body?" He didn't think much of my joke and said it was nothing to worry about.
With the depression, I noticed that my sunglasses don't fit quite the same. I wear my hair parted on the left due to facial paralysis on the right side, so I don't have hair-do problems.
BTW, my surgeon gave me the option of "lipo" from my abdomen or from my backside. My husband asked "If you take the fat from the back, does that mean I can call you butt-head?" Ummm, no dear.
There is still a divot where the fat used to be in my stomach. It's not very attractive in a 2 piece swimsuit!

;D Just one more unique use of the extra fat we carry around isn't it?
I'm not what you'd call "fat" but it sure could use some re-arranging ya' know what I mean?
Secretly, I just thought the title of the post was funny, and wanted to make you laugh ::)
Keep chucklin'

Me too! I wondered when that dent happened. You should see the bows of my glasses! They are very lopsided but that's the only way they sit on my face right!!luv2teach :D

Thanks for posting. I also have a dent. I am seeing my AN doctor Friday and I'm going to let him check it out.
Take care,
Lynn

Sorry for delay, I haven't logged on in a long time.
The dent is slowly getting deeper and longer. The depression now extends as long as my earlobe. My physical therapist (and fellow-AN'er) has one too.
