Love my Shape, but Developed a Blood Clot in my Leg (DVT)
I'm 3 weeks out and my belly and body look great. All bruising is gone and my clothes are loose even wearing the binder. I had my 3 week check and Dr Chung drained a small seroma. It was painless and quick. I should have mentioned to him that I had some discomfort in my calf, but I thought I just pulled a muscle and didn't think it was a big deal. The following day the pain got much worse (especially when I was walking). It never got red or really swelled that much. Luckily after walking in and out of urgent care twice, I actually had it checked. After an ultrasound in the ER they found a DVT. I did do a lot of walking after surgery and flexing of my feet. I did go for a long car ride after 2 weeks and sat for too long I'm sure. So don't just pass something off that just doesn't seem right and be aware that this can happen.

Wow! Glad it was caught in time. Hope it's smooth sailing from here on out.

After having 3 C-sections I had extra skin, fat and a thick scar. I wanted my waist back and to get rid of the love handles. I researched and had a consultation with Dr. Chung. After seeing before and after pictures from his surgeries, I knew I was in good hands. It's been 2 1/2 weeks and I'm extremely happy with the result. He truly is a miracle worker.
