Wow...just had my first lymphatic massage by a massage therapist who specializes in it. Was a bit painful in my flanks area but I feel sooooooo much better after. She worked out all the lumps. I'm going to go to her twice a week for the next three weeks to help me heal quicker and get rid of and keep lumps from forming. It was looking like cellulite...yuck!!!! I am buying Arnica pills and cream at both my doctor and her. I also need to step up my water consumption. I've been a serious slacker!!

I just can't help but post how unbelievably thankful I am to have had this surgery. Although it requires patience, it is more than worth it. Also, Dr Salzhauer's medical assistant, Yeni is the most knowledgable, professional, caring, understanding person I have met in the medical field...and I know a lot. Her job (any med field jobs) aren't easy because you are dealing with patients that are nervous, scared, in pain, etc. She has called me everyday since surgery to check on me. I hope Dr Salzhauer realizes what an asset he has in her and keeps her and continues to compensates her hard work.

Got my new garment in the mail today. I have been wearing the one I got the day after surgery and some of my swelling has gone down leaving it a little loose. I feel so much better in this new snug one. I am scheduling my first set of lymphatic massages for next week. I need it because parts of the areas that were lipo'd are lumpy. I stopped taking my pain med day three after surgery but I might take one right before the massage because I am TENDER!

Seriously??? What was Yenni's post name? I'd like to look at it.

Hi Teresa8296! I think you thinking about a different girl also named "bad yenni" who went to Dr. Salama for her BBL last May 2011, (check out her review). I doubt that this is the same girl that works for a competing plastic surgeon, Dr. Salzhauer.

What is the purpose of the triangle?
When is the triangle on my back placed?
How long should I wear the triangle for?
The sacrum or lower back is very sensitive to swelling and fluid collection, therefore we take a few extra steps to help with the healing process of this area. The triangle is used to apply pressure on the lower back to decrease fluid accumulation and swelling. The triangle should be worn for 2-3 weeks. It gives the maximum results when worn while drains are still in place and a week or two after drains are removed.
I hope this helps. I had my bbl on Monday but Dr. Mendieta didn't put a garment on cuz there r a couple of places in my abdomen that need more circulation. So I haven't gotten the triangle just yet. I will see my dr again tomorrow and I hope to be able to wear my garment and get the triangle in place tomorrow. If u want to see someone w the triangle in place, go to Caramella1 profile and u can kinda see the shadow if it under her garment in her lower back.
I hope this helps! Let me know if u have more questions about this and I can ask Dr. Mendieta tomorrow for u ;)
