    Hi, I had a breast lift with out implants so I purchased the mastopexy compression bra. If you are having implants you may need a different style. Marena has a really good return policy if you dont like the product or the size is wrong. Good luck.

    Hi guys. Good luck with your upcoming surgeries! Dr. Soto will probably have you using paper tape on the incisions for weeks, so there is no rush on scar lotions. For my breast lift and tummy tuck scars, he still has me using Kelocote silicone gel and I purchased it from Amazon.com.As for the compression garments, I bought them from Marena and they are about half the price and so much more comfortable.You will probably need the abdominal binder and the bra. I love everything about my experience with Dr. Soto and his staff. I am sure you will too.

    Hey, I know what you mean about working with what you have, when my doctor did the lipo last week he reshaped my hips and lower butt area. Thats going to have to be enough because I dont think I could handle not sitting for for 4 weeks. It already looks pretty good. Lets just say the recovery is harder on my husband than on me(lol).Good luck with whatever you decide, just do lots of research and Im sure you will be happy.

    Hi Tweety. Im not comfortable posting pics because I have 3 teenage boys that I dont want to scar for life (lol), sorry. Plus, Im in this darn compression garment for 5 more weeks and its driving me crazy! As far as sensation goes, I didnt lose any sensation at all. They were actually a little hyper sensitive the first 2 weeks.What type of plastic surgery are you planning on having done?

    Hi 3tweety1. I just realized you may be planning on doing the BBL and I did not want to give you any wrong information. The BBL isnt considered a named body procedure such as a breast lift or abdominoplasty etc.. so they can remove up to 4000ccs. at the same time.Good Luck!
