Still swelling!
Just wanted to keep you posted, today is 6 weeks since my back lipo and bbl. am still lumpy on the flanks and sides, numb and swell in my waist and lower back, I feel some areas in my upper back still have fat deposits, like the bra line, my buttocks look the same as before, I don't think I retained much of the fat, maybe less than 25%, I keep hearing they will fluff but at this point even if they did I don't think ill end up with the volume I had hopped for! dr Yager said he put 1000 ccs on each side, some on the hips and I do see some shape, but definitely not projection or volume neither sideways or from the back.... Very sad, but I will not give up, I paid almost 15Gs for this procedure not to end up satisfied, even if that means I may need a revision. At this point I know the dr will not hear about it, but I'll bring it up next visit. Am planing on having my arms and inner tights lipo, am going to ask if he can use that fat for the bbl, am willing to pay for the lipo but not the fat transfer.... I hope he agrees to it.... As per my TT, am still very blown out, I know most of it is swelling, but also some is residual fat since I did not lipo the abdominal layer, doctor told me it was safer not to do it together because the risk of cutting blood circulation and I could always do it after I healed. At this point is a waiting game, am happy that the flap in not there and the overall shape of my abdomen has improve dramatically, am also aware I will never have a 100% flat stomach! let's face it! I have seven children and each of them had its toll in the ab muscle, so I am trying to be realistic and stay positive that the TT will give me an "Ok" result. I will post some pics next week, since now,is not much different than my last pictures... Stay safe rs sisters, happy healing...
Swell he'll with a vengeance
So I saw dr yager today, as always very professional , after the examination he took off the surgical tape that had fallen off on its own, he told me the bulge was just swelling , no seroma nor mi MR came undone, told me it was my body healing process, after I notice he looked at me proud, like thinking to himself "am GOOD" jejejeje ..... Still, was not enough to make my mind at ease, but is a waiting game I guess. I found some pictures I took the day of surgery and I just took some of the swelling, please excuse the poor quality, am just not feeling to photogenic lately. Happy healling!
Emotional!!!!
I've been so stress about my MR that i have not taken any pics, am going to try to take some today. Last saturday I cough like twice and I felt this pull like sensation on the top of my MR, like right where the sutures starts, and its been sore and a bit unconfortable since, am afraid I might have pop a stitch. I also feel like this small bulge in top of it, am afraid may be fluid seroma and may have to be drained, but i would preffer it rather than my MR come undone. I have an appointment with Dr. Yager tomorrow, am hopping is nothing serious, cause right now am going through the roller coaster of emotions, sad that there might e complications, worry about not being satisfied with the en results, dealing with swell hell on both TT and lipo, the fat transfer gave my buttucks a nice shape, but i dont see a difference in projection and i see some dimples and flatness in the bottom...UGHHH the thought of having a revision just make me want to cry, cause this recovery is no joke... to have a revision means start all over again and i dont feel like going for it again... so... am going to pray is just paranoia...lets just wait I guess ... cause the dr will not even consider revision for at least another 6 months to a year time.....
