Colombian Breast Augmentation 6 Years Later - Medellin, Colombia

Hi! So tomorrow will be a week since surgery. Everything went really well. Four days after surgery my surgeon ok´d massages and today was my 3rd. I´m in Medellin and Alvaro Roldan was my surgeon. Everyone says he has good hands and is a factor to why I have recovered so well. I have bruising mainly on my thighs but lower back and abdomen HURT like crazy and are most swollen-funny because that is where I had least fat. I went on my first ¨big¨ walk on Wednesday and I felt so fatigued-it was beyond tired. But today I repeated that same walk and it was no problem. I look forward to three months from now to see results. How are you coming along since your surgery?

Hi Jersey! Surgery went so well! I had surgery on Saturday and I started massages on Wednesday. I got lipo on inner/outer thighs, lower back, and abdomen-I have bruising mainly on inner thighs and more swelling on lower back and abdomen. I kind of regret getting lipo on abdomen bc I was much flatter than I am now with the swelling! But I have been reassured that once the swelling goes done, I´ll be very pleased. I also got some of the fat injected into my butt. It looks ridicuously huge but again, I was reassured it will go down and I´ll love it. The hardest part is how tight the girdle is...I can barely stand sitting down for long periods of time and it has drastically reduced the amount of food I can take in. The dresses were a good idea but more so to not have another snug garment on my body. Thanks for the advice!

OMG....I'm so nervous, I'm going in (not with Yily) in ONE WEEK. I wont have my family with me so it WILL be hard, but I've got my eye on the prize--my improved body! Congrats to you, you've pretty much done the worse part. Question: what clothes have been best for you to wear so far? I have only purchased a couple of loose/stretchy pants and will pack some maxi dresses.

I am 5'5" and weighed 140 lbs at the time of my surgery. I also was an A cup. I got 435cc and it was a great proportion (I have more of the pear shape). I now wear a 34D. A friend of mine told me that his peer's patients often wished they would've gone a bit bigger; I agree. Of course, see what your PS advises based on your body. Good luck!

I thought I would update you. I am going back this month for surgery. I am going with a different surgeon, one that extended family goes to. Depending upon what the surgeon tells me, I'll do, but I forsee increasing the size a bit since I have lost weight and that could very well be the culprit of my rippling!
