WORTH IT$10,000
Had my 4th massage today. Found a nice lady, Deb, who worls for a plastic surgeon and does his patients massages.... Did I luck out or what. ????
Massage went better because my bruising and swelling keeps going down. I finished the antibiotics yesterday. Still taking Vit. C pills, Iron, and Arnica pills. I am also still using the Arnica soothing gel on all my hard, swollen, & bruised spots.
Forgot to take pic's today but really no big changes. I'll post more pic's when I'm two weeks out.
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR BBL SISTERS. ????

What is the purpose of the Arnica pills? I am 10 weeks post op and I have areas of lumps in my back that burn and hurt a lot. I have 12 massages so I am not sure if more will help at this late stage. Did anyone experience these lumps that burn?

The Arnica Montana pills help with swelling and bruising. The Arnica gel helps with stiffness, swelling & bruising as well. I would keep getting professional massages. I also use a heating pad 20 mins. On each area & then i give myself a message on that area. I have 1 hard lump on my inner thigh about size of a quarter. It don't hurt and its not red so Dr. Said keep massages going and try ultrasound or cavitation massage. Take pictures of lumps and email Dr. Ask how you should treat these areas.

I have emailed Dr S n sent him pix n he responded to my email but with no sense of urgency. ..I feel. I ended up having to go to . The ER last Fri cpz the lump burned and pained so bad. Turns out to be fluid build up and inflammation so the ER oc aspirated the area n drained it. There was souch . Fluid that came out. Even mow that the left the incision open...its still draining but feeling a lot better. I started with the heating pad about 2 weeks post op but later couldn't nb e bothered :-) How are you doing?

Oh wow. I'm glad you went to the ER and your feeling better now. Sounds like you had seroma. I'm doing good, still stiff and a little sore in some spots. I'm watching the lump on my inner thigh and i just noticed a small soft lump on stomach but nothing is burning or painful yet. Hope they just smooth out soon. The heating pad feels good but takes me a while to use on each area and do the message. Lol Do you still get the lympathic massages done? I go once a week. When i can afford it i will go twice a week. :)

Yes...its seroma. It was so uncomfortable. The doc checked it today again n its still draining. ...that's how much fluid I had built up. Hopefully it will heal well and fast. I had 13 massages done...its too expensive $90/hr...can't afford anymore. I would like to do round 2 but can't afford it. I am glad I pd off the 11g to Salama and other expenses. Yeah, that's the reason I quit the heating pad uae...didn't have the time to allow 20 mins each side. That's an hr and a half every day. I was bored so I stopped :-)

We stayed about 5 mins. from Dr.Salama's surgery center and 10 mins. from his main office.
It was clean and a very nice & relaxing place. It had a courtyard, pool, gym, store and it was on the beach. Great for my daily walks to start my healing process & perfect spot to heal. There was also a washer & dryer on each floor which was across from our room. That came in handy.
