I believe your MD's office sets your procedure with the hospital. And it is the hospital's part of the routine to set up your bloodwork. During your post op is where you get your IV pain meds. Because your body needs those pain meds after this procedure. But I am sure the next day you can go to Tylenol. Remember that there is a limit of grams of Tylenol you can take per day. Talk this over with your PS. Also find a good Anesthesiologist because that will determine whether you will get sick from the anestetics.. The anesthesia stays in your system about 24-48 hours. The constipation was from the pain meds. So the sooner you could get off the pain meds the better. After surgery, start taking stool softeners. When is your surgery? Dc
I was in pain, and I was given a hydromorphone pca, at a push of a button I was able to
give myself the med as needed. I am a big baby when it comes to pain, so it was not bad. The second day I got off IV pca and prescribed Percocet for pain. Never got sick from the meds. The 4th day started taking Tylenol, because I was concerned with constipation. Eventhough I was taking stool softeners from day 1.
The Constipation was the worst and most uncomfortable. I had the urge to go for over 24 hours. I finally had a bowel movement after 30 hours. Sorry for too much info. But watch out for those pain meds because you may have to pay the price later.. So this constipation was the worst experience then the post op.
Your core and butt is sore. I stayed on my side and never put pressure on my butt for about 3-4 weeks. Dc
I did not make it very clear about the lower butt. If one adds fg to the upper or mid area, that the lower butt would lift on its own. And that is ok. What was not ok, was adding fg to the lower butt. If anyone has any more info about this , please let me know. Thanx dc
Cont., my fg to buttocks. My lower butt sags a little due to gravity and getting older. So I asked my PS about that area and he said if we added more fat to the mid-buttocks that the lower butt would automatically lift. I did some research on that area, and they said that one does not want to disturb that area of the butt.
I have not seen my PS for about 1 1/2 years now, and I hear that he has some new art. ;-). I would consider going back for more Lipo & fg next year.
In conclusion I would do this all over again. I am currently taking a belly dancing class and it is awesome! I am strengthening my core & learning how to isolate my great abs. Also, this class has helped me get in tune with my sensuality.. My husband loves my new look too. I need say to more. Good luck, dc
Nov 2011, I had a combo surgery. Bladder reconstrn, TT, Lipo flanks, lower & some upper back, and this was grafted to my buttocks.
My PS was conservative with the fg to the buttocks, because I was also having a major surgery. He did a great job! Since he Lipo the lower back it gave me an S shape that I absolutely love, especially when I where a dress. He added the fat to my upper buttocks and made the contour more rounded. Because my butt was flat. Today, I am happy cause now I have some shape back there. But I would love to go back and add a little bit more to the middle of my butt. Because thAt part needs some rounded shaping, and I have enough fat (gained 10lbs.) to fill. My PS sais I could come in for more. And that would be it. ;-)
