Surgery today to drain infection

I've been getting messages for quite some time but I didn't want to log on to this site again because I hated the memory of what happened to me. Many people have asked how I am doing. I am well and healthy. Thank you so much to everyone for their concern. I was a mess for quite some time. The infection took a toll on me physically and emotionally. It took me some time to recover. Today, I am healthy but am left with scars. Due to the infection having to be drained, there are 2 deep dents in my buttocks now. It's a shame because with clothes on I look great. But i have to wear a full bottom bathing suit and Spanx under dresses or skirts with very thin fabric. I've tried to get the scars fixed but have not had any luck. I will try again and I will probably go to a doctor in Florida again only because it seems like the doctors there are much more familiar with surgery to the buttocks. Doctors in the Midwest have no clue. In fact doctors here think it's ok to sit on your bottom immediately after surgery. As far as Dr. Ghurani goes he is an AMAZING doctor. He was so worried about me. I've seen doctors that don't care for their patients no matter what they go thru. Dr. Ghurani was there for me and even talked to my doctors here to try to help. If there is one thing I wish I did differently, it is to have stayed in Florida for 2-3 weeks. I was only able to stay for a week. If I was with Dr. Ghurani the entire time I am sure my results would have been different as he is an expert in this type of surgery, not like the doctors where I live. I highly recommend him for this surgery. Like I said, my butt looks amazing! I just got screwed with the infection. So go to him for sure but please make sure you stay there for 2-3 weeks to stay under his care. I don't want what happened to me to happen to anyone else. It was the worst experience of my life. I'm hoping I could one day get ready of these scars. I hate how they look. I will post pics of those too. But yes I am ok and Dr. Ghirani is an amazing surgeon. I highly recommend him. Just be sure to spend the time there. ??

It's been awhile since I've been able to update my posts. I have hesitated because I know most people log in here and are looking for really positive experiences. I feel bad because I don't want my negative experience to ruin everyone's excitement for their BBL procedure. I will say this, I wish I did not have this procedure done. Even if I had the perfect look and shape, not a bit of it is worth the suffering my family and I have had to go thru because of this infection. I had my original procedure on April 4th, and this past Friday I had to have a 2nd operation to drain out the infection. This doesn't include the 2 other procedures I had to have to help drain the infection. After my BBL procedure I had a 2nd operation where I had to wear 2 drains again for a week. The infection still isn't gone and now I am wearing a drain again for another week. I'm hoping this is the last of it. I apologize to everyone that has been messaging me and I haven't been able to respond. I'm trying hard to be strong but this infection has really taken over my life. I've been laying down for over 2 months because of the pain. I really hope this last operation is the last one I'm going to need. We'll know in a couple of weeks as long as the draining stops. So again, sorry for not responding to everyone. I've just been going thru a lot. It's been a horrible experience.

So here is the update on my condition. The infection is Celulitus. I was told it is common but the way I got the infection is very rare. Apparently the bacteria is from an ingrown hair. I went to the doctor yesterday and he said the infection isn't looking better so they are going to operate on me today. They are going to put in 1-2 drainage tubes on each side to help drain the infection. I may have the drains in 5-10 days. At that point I pray to God that they will tell me the infection is gone and that my body can start to heal. I just want my life back. I can't believe I need surgery again and I'm getting drains put back in. The happiest day I had was getting them out. I guess I have no choice but to suck it up, stop crying, and start to fight this thing. Here we go...!
