CLAIM YOUR PROFILEI had an open gluteal lift and fat transfer. I didn't feel comfortable in my skin after not able to walk for almost years because of a car accident, muscle wasting and lost weight which I ended up with saggy skin. After 1.5 weeks of recovery, I was back to work. Lymphatic drainage massages is a must when you have this type of surgery. If you're messaging you'll drain and heal faster. If you're walking, it'll help with more than just the expected pain. I love my natural looking results. I had interviewed several doctors before deciding to go with Dr. Gabriel Patino. The staff at the Cosmetic Surgical Center in El Cerrito are not only professional, but they treat you like family.
Feeling very Optimistic! The recovery is going smooth and I am ready to go back to work after only 1 week of downtime. I LOVE My results thus far and an exited to have my full results soon! I am massaging my boobs daily as recommended by my doc... I am managing my pain with medication but walking around a lot throughout the day. Hands down best investment of my life.. I interviewed several experts before going to Dr. Patino and I couldn't be happier I went with the Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito!
