7 week post op

My inner thighs are ugly from lipo. Pretty bummed. Upper thighs and lower abdominal are still numb. Bottom swelling seems non-existent.

I've seen him a total of 4 times, & he was not a man of many words. All 4 visits weren't even a total of 15 minutes. The first time was at pre op, he came in took some pics and grabbed the fat on my belly, told me I was a good candidate and that my stomach would be flat. The second time was right before surgery, he marked my body. Third time the morning after surgery to release me. Fourth time was for the first post op, he came in and asked me how I was doing. I told him that I liked how my bottom was looking, but that the way my stomach was looking was freaking me out. So he says to me, "well the surgery wasn't for your stomach." Not very professional in my opinion.

Did Cortez tell you not to sleep on your back?
He told me to sleep on my stomach.
Hi there. You need a good Faja (compression garment) to hold you all in. Otherwise you'll be swollen and will not get a good shape. Try a Fajate.
How are you doing mama? How's the swelling? How's your tummy?
Hey girl I feel you! You should go see my after pics from using dr cortes! I'm so pissed right now!
Thank you for sharing, keep positive your procedure is very fresh still, and I hear it takes time for our skin to tighten again. I know it's 6 months to heal completely. I'm now doing research on Dr.Meade in Dallas. So if anyone has input to share message me I really appreciate your reply mnl1985 Thank You :)
I actually can't find many people satisfied with him browsing through right now. It surprises me how little skill is shown in his work. And this is coming from me, who thought she did her research and chose the best. I wish all these reviews were up when I was choosing a ps and girls not holding back even though I understand it is not easy writing a bad review.

I'm not shocked at your experience with your surgeon. I think the biggest problem comes with them being too busy. I am 2 weeks post op with a tt and I barely had a total of 10 minutes with mines. Yet I expected a tab bit more out of Cortes though. I could've sworn your bottom would be bigger than that. He suppose to be the buttmaster. Maybe with time fluffing would come
If you're using a corset make sure you get the steel boned ones. Those will not bend at all. Since i have been wearing mine, it has straightened out my tummy more and the lines from the girdle digging on my sides have vanished. I have pics of me wearing the one I bought. So all Dr. C said was, the procedure wasnt for your stomach? Thats not cool, from what I see in a lot of females that go to diff PS all over the world they focus on giving them a a small waist, butt, and shape. So that kinda worries me that he will say the same. Only time will tell. Lucy actually told me that too though but IDK.

Today is my 6th day back to work. I've been sitting on a stool and letting my bottom hang off the back. Not comfortable, but my legs don't fall asleep a fast they do on the cushion. After sitting for a while the fluid in my upper thighs get harder and tight. I had my 3rd massage last week, and it's helping. I'm using a size small in one of my waist clinchers, and when it's on my right side goes in much further and get sore quicker. I will post a pic the next time I put it on. Also I've noticed my left inner thigh seems to have had more fat taken, as it curves in. Will post pic.
