Going for Round 2 - Lipo, BBL, and breast augmentation

Well, it's been about five years since my last round. I ended up with some fibrosis which has made me forever unhappy with my body. I want it corrected!

After coronavirus lockdowns, my weight which has stayed consistently at 154-163 jumped up to 178. I noticed that more fat has been accumulating in my upper back and around my hips. This time I'll be going for a 360 and ancillary arms. I'm a little scared that I'm going to end up with fibrosis lumps all over my body, but my post surgery action plan is going to include a lymphatic massage therapist this round.

Right now, I'm talking to two doctors. The first is Dr. G out of DR and the second is Dr. Pantoja in Tijuana.

Here are my quotes:

Dr. G -
$6200
Lipo 360
Arms
Breast Lift
Implants
BBL
10 night in a recovery home
$6,200

Dr. Pantoja
Lipo 360
Arm lipo
BBL
Implants
1 over night at the hospital
$6,800

Reviews on both doctors are amazing, but Pantoja has many, many more reviews. I also like that his bodies end up more narrow. I'm not going for a vixen look at this point in my life. I just want to take a few years off my body and look good in a sports bra and yoga pants when I workout.

Anyhow, I'm still deciding who to go to. Leaning towards Pantoja since he's closer. However, he's booked until June 2021. And I really only want to get surgery over the winter so I'm likely a year out. On the positive side, that gives me plenty of time to build more muscle for more post surgery definition.

I attached a picture of Pantojas work. I'd really love a results like the ones on this picture!

Massaging has started

Wow, feeling the liquid move around as I massage away at the limps is really odd.

I got out of the compression garmet this week and into the Spanx. Massaging is happening twice a day with a product called GlyPro. It is supposed to help smoothe out orange peel skins. I'm hoping it works.

Day 3 Photo

On the left, my husband opted out of taking a pre-surgery picture that didn't include him. Instead he decided to take a selfie which I will make due with until I receive the doctor's pictures. On the right, that was right after my shower tonight.

Is anyone else already thinking of their next procedures??? Definitely rethinking my natural breasts right now!!
