First Post - Houston, TX

The surgery is performed with a small cannula. The cannula is used to suck the areas of unwanted fat... If you want to see the procedure I would look on some of Dr. Cortes other pages because he does give his patients a video of their surgery... As far as scars I have three tiny scars below my abdomen as round as a pencil top eraser, couple on my back, one on each knee, and one on my chin.

Thank you for your reply. Can u sit after surgery? I'm considering a bbl with my tummy tuck but wondering if its too much to do at once. With a TT you need to stay hunched over. So I'm wondering if I I do bbl and I can't sit how am I supposed to sleep? I won't be able to lay on my back with bbl surgery and cant lay on my stomach with a TT surgery. Only thing left is laying and sitting on my side? Seems too painful and uncomfortable. I wonder if its best to do one surgery at a time? How painful is bbl surgery? How painful is it to sit? Can you sit after surgery?

I'm still notsitting to protect my graft site... I would do one at a time ... Because while your healing over those weeks to months you are going to want to get out of the house to do something...

That's what I thought. But at my consult the assistant tolde its best to do both at the same time since he's going to do some lipo anyways on my love handles which can be used for bbl. I don't understand how some women do it. I guess I should talk more about it with my doc. Thank you so much for your responses I really appreciate your feedback and sharing your experience. Keep us updated on your progress you look great.
