I am 2 days post op and have a drain thats set to be taken out in three days. I am afraid of taking off both garments they put me in because I don't think I'll be able to get them back on. However, I'm also having a hard time standing and peeing and it's really grossing me out. Should I just wait until my post op appt and have my PS help me? I feel like I'm very ill informed and it's freaking me out.

I believe you stand to get excellent results from a BBL procedure, if not the idealized result shown in the example photo. Technique is key to your result. From what I can see in your photo, the tissues appear to be of good quality and I anticipate you will see dramatic improvement in the...
