17th day on tummy recovering - Los Angeles, CA

Hi Dallas9575
I'm in on going on my 3rd week. I have been off my buttocks and wearing the garment. He injected 500 cc's in each cheek and they are still hard.
Dr. said to gently massage as I am doing so daily.

Are yours hard?
Will they soften?
When did you notice when they were softening?

Your response would be appreciated.
Thanks.

As the anesthesia wears off, you need to set your iphone timer every 4 hours and take your antibiotics till it's gone and pain medication for the next 48 hours at least. Drink lots of water. Eat small meals every 3 hours. Read, text, email, watch the Playoffs and slow body mechanics. Do your push ups properly and slowly. Put positiveness in your universe.
I received my first neck, arms, legs and gentle lower back massage. I'm in my 2 weeks and a day, I'd rather massage my fanny myself tenderly...still hard and in compression garment no foam need anymore. Be a beautiful soldier! I'm here if you need a me. Good job Tiger!

Opps! I forgot, start doing your push-ups! And Breathe.

Your BBL is on Friday! I'm excited for you. Friday will be my 2nd week in recovery. I know they emotions your feeling right now. Here's a few helpful tips I've been doing and approved by me doctor.
1. Buy a car/boat funnel to urine in. You'll see why.
2. Buy a massage table from Costco with an adjustable headrest. It will save your neck and lower back.
3. Buy cases of H20 since your at Costco
4. Your first four days will be painful, but pain pills will help. Try to avoid them due to constipation.
5. Lift the toilet seat up, roll and sit on a thick towel/ on your thighs and take care of bowels sideways.
6. Bring a pillow to lay under your belly when in a back seat of a car.
7.Use your garment and massage gently after 2 weeks
8. Be kind to your love ones whom will be there for you.
9. Be patient with yourself
10. Bring pillow (tempur-pedic) to cafes/restaurants to kneels on for comfort
11. Lastly, buy NON-STICK gauze.
That's my 11 tips. Hope I helped.
I had my 12 days follow up Dr. appt. yesterday and we are pleased with the results so far. He said, it's time to gently massage. All the best to you. Hope to hear from you while in recovery.
