Ok this has been a crazy roller coaster for me I just want to make sure I'm right. Dr. Jaime Perez is the original doc that I wanted to go with but the price was getting to me but he is good. I tried to go else where but my gut is telling me to go with him so I'm gonna listen just need $2,400 to save until june I know I can do it and I can't wait.

day 4 feeling better today still swollen but its getting better my prayer is for a speedy recovery and for my swelling and pain to subside and thank GOD thats exactly whats happening little by little drains will be taken out monday and I have 3 drains also I have been walking straight up every so often in the day I believe walking is a very crucial part of recovery.

got drains taken out on monday ugh..hurt so bad it's like a burning stinging sensation! but after that I have no pain just swelling!! Called doc about some concerns he rused me off the phone He is a very good ps though.

week 2 I have no pain just swelling I'm going to start going to get lipo massage because I have hard areas on my sides and back from all the lipo. My ps took tape off my incision and repalced it with silicone tape I've tried to look everywhere for this with no luck :( I have silicon sheets I dont know if thats the same thing? they dont look the same?? Also I have heard lipo massage is very painful ugh it has to get done tho.

I took a good luck at my breast after alot of...

I took a good luck at my breast after alot of swelling has gone done and they look small!! I wanted a big C and I look like a big B!! I am so upset about that I asked my ps about it and he said theyre still swollen they will get bigger when swelling goes all the way done?? That doesn't sound right has anyone heard of that?

I alos have my lower stomach swelled out where...

I alos have my lower stomach swelled out where incision is, is that normal? and upper stomach in the middle is swelled up too??

I am officialy 1mo post op. I was told by my ps I...

I am officialy 1mo post op. I was told by my ps I am doing very well so here is what I have done I have been taking vitamins specifically for surgery recovery from makemeheal.com I also ordered my silicone tape from their which has made my scars flat! I have been doing colonics once a week which sweeps the toxins out of your body for a faster recovery and I have also been going to get Hivamat 200 therapy not much doctors offer it but I found one in Tampa! It's specifically for swelling and healing do your research on it I decided it would be worth a try so, so far I have had 2 treatments and it made some areas on my body that were hard because of all the lipo softer and a little less swollen so in due time I will be able to tell. I also walk on a treadmill at my gym for 2-3mile mon-fri. Just thought I would share some tips :)

I also wanted to appologize to DR. PEREZ for not being patient my breast and tummy look awesome and I know my stomach will still go down more can't wait!! I got measured at victoria secret they said 36c/d exactly what I wanted plus they look and feell so real! and they're not spaced apart like most implants Thank U Dr.Perez!! And I love my belly button!
Great review?

Same here, my PS said I'm doing good for 1mo so patience is the key I believe LOL good luck!

First off, you look great!!!!! I had a TT right around the same time as you, and I am still quite swollen in the same area you are describing, along the incision and up the middle. It has gone down quite a bit, but depending on what I am doing physically, or what I am eating it sometimes swells up like crazy! But I have asked my PS numerous times and he assures me its normal swelling that will go down over time. :)
