Post BBL May 7

I'm feeling good. I finally began to sit and drive without the hoppy. I went to the salon today (the first time since the surgery) and I was comfortable. At one point I had some anxiety because I felt like my booty was deflating. I know that my swelling has gone down a lot and Dr S warned that I should be aware that it may appear smaller after the swelling subsides. But believe me, I'm still satisfied. I'm moving down to the stage two garment and I'm still using the boards and cream from the pink room. I have started doing some leg lifts and squats and I'm looking forward to the fluffing I hear about.

I haven't posted in a while so I have a lot to say. First, I feel abot 90% back to normal. No meds needed at all. I just have a little stiffness in the am when I get up. But once I'm moving , I'm ok. Second, I went to see Dr S last Friday. He said he took out about 6.1 liters and put back 2.4 liters... That's 1200 cc in each cheek. Wow... He said he would have put more, but my skin would not allow it.
Now... Ummm how do I feel about my results. Ok I have to say I'm satisfied. I realize that sometimes we look for perfection, it in the case of plastic surgery perfection can lead to addiction and this addiction is way too expensive and painful to have. I told Dr S that I wish my butt was bigger! My friends and family says its perfect for my size and shape and as I wrote, Dr S put what he could put. Also, I'm not sure if my belly is still swollen or if its a little lumpy. He says its ok to get massages, so I will see if that help. He says that it will take a while for the swelling to go down so I will see. Of course I notice it, but it has to be pointed out to others. I'm still just a little bruised, but its fading quickly and I can definitely tell that my outer thighs where done. He did not take much from the inner thighs. My back looks good, it's much smaller, I have to go down a bra size lol. I have some scarring from the areas where he inserted the cannula, I'm putting Shea butter on them religiously to help fade the marks. All in all, I would definitely recommend Dr S and I would use him again when and if I decide to do anything else... I'm considering doing my breasts after I see what breastfeeding leaves behind.

I'm beginning to feel just a little normal. Of course I wish I could sit or lay on my back, but besides that I'm moving quite ok. Today makes week one and I still love my results lol. I have my post op scheduled for Friday so I just want to be prepared with any questions or concerns I have for the Dr. I went online to inthepinkroom.com and ordered a tummy tightening board, a lower back board and lipo cream that is supposed to even out the lipo and tone the skin. Hope it helps. They were very helpful when I called and they knew exactly what to recommend. Although Dr S does not recommend massages, I think I will schedule one for the end of the month. My masseuse in my are does great lymphatic drainage massages.
