27 Yr Old Full Abdominal & Flanks Liposuction - Albuquerque, NM

WORTH IT$4,500

I originally was scheduled to have a BBL by Dr. Miguel Gallegos on May 2nd. After an uncomfortable pre-op visit 2 weeks before my surgery I decided to cancel my surgery and get my money back. I realized I was not confident, comfortable or trusting if the doctor at all :( However, it was the best choice ever. After careful thought I realized I actually already have a pretty big/round/shelf booty. I decided to move forward with liposculture of my waist to accentuate my booty with some more extreme curves performed by the doc who had done my breast augmentation 5 yrs earlier (Dr. Neil Chen) I was already very comfortable confident, overall just very happy with my choice:D
When I arrived at the surgery center this morning I was a bit nervous but my amazing boyfriend and Dr. Chen made me feel comfortable and relaxed. After I came out if surgery I was in severe pain, which is not a typical result of lipo surgery , the IV pain meds did not have any effect on me with regular doses (like 1% of population experience no reaction to pain meds) but after 5 IV doses and a hydrocodon I began to feel a bit better to be able to leave.
Once I got home and my boyfriend made me comfy the rest if the day was easily manageable. It is now 4am and I have not been able to sleep, not because of pain but insomnia. I'm so excited and hopeful of grrrrrrreat results!!!! I am still very sore but in comparison to earlier today, swelling has gone waaaaay down!!!

Did the doc say it was ok to put on a waist trainer? I am on day 8th with my compressor and I hate it! I want to wear my waist trainer better.
