I'm currently 5weeks post opt and everything is going very well. I still have swelling and stiffness in my back from the lipo which is normal but I'm sorry I haven't updated my detailed review yet but I decided to wait until week 6.

Yily is an amazing doctor who really cares about the well being of her patients but I realize from watching her interactions and talking with her before and after surgery is that with the girls who were dramatic and didn't want to follow doctors orders, Yily has very low tolerance for the BS she will go off if she feels like there is something Amis. However she was always professional with me. She gave me nice perky ta ta's, flat tummy and a hourglass shape. I LOVE MY BODY, I didn't have a lot of fat for the BBL due to previous lipo so I asked her to add it to fill me out and that's what she did. I will be taking pictures in my yellow bikini and like I said I wanted to wait for the swelling, stiffness also the lumpiness to subside because from reading other post some of these girls are harsh with the comments. I will post my photos hopefully next week.

FYI post opt: a low sodium healthy diet, compression garment/waist cincher and lymphatic massages are Very important. They will definitely speed up your recovery.

In reference to post about infections. I didn't get any infections,fevers or any of that the only problem I had thru out my recovery was a headache, I had a tummy tuck & breastlift and I'm healing very well. I followed all of Dr. Yily's instructions. She said not to get my incisions wet until they heal so I waited 3weeks to shower, I kneeled in the tub with hot soapy water and bathed and only use alcohol with every dressing change. The antibiotic ointment shouldn't be used on open incisions that are going to be covered or bandaged tight or they will take longer to heal. Also I read a story on realself where a girl used antibiotic ointment on her breast incisions and her nipple started to seperate from her breast, her incision opened up all around and the areola started to dissapear. She was left with exposed flesh and no areola. So Please follow doctors orders. I just started doing some light exercises to help ease up the stiffness. after my massages I feel great but then I put on my garment and waist clincher wake up the next day and I'm stiff all over again so I continue my routine. the healing process will take discipline and won't happen overnight.
