Hey Ladies, I've been gone for awhile but I've been really busy. Ok So a little update on the last 10 months. First off I dont really like how my stomach came out. I use to have an hr glass shape but its slowly disappearing and I'm always working out. My butt did get smaller but thats expected because you lose 30-40% of the Fat they put in. I do hate that if you sit down for periods of a time it does hurt which is awful sometimes lol. But other than that I am some what satisfied with the results. I am going to do a round 2 but not with Dr. Dimario. I've been looking around at other doctors and I've beeb asking people questions about their doctors so I'm undecided now.

Hey I'm sorry I'm late.. i think its mainly my fault about the results.. it is crucial to go to All your post op appointments.. i missed a lot of them.. to me my butt is small but to other people they say its huge lol.. im satisfied with my results just wished I kept up with my post op treatments.. i'm doing another round in Colombia next year..

I went to all my post op appointments and they even gave me extra ones at no cost to me and I never missed any. I went for my massages, carboxy and radio therapy appointments faithfully. The bumps on my abdomen turned out to be fibrosis and Dr.Dimario and Janet kept telling me that it will go away. I went to over 40 appointments since the day after my surgery, and it never went away. I am now aware that I need another surgery for the removal of fibrosis. I also need a round 2 with my butt. He didn't do such a bad job with it but I'm not satisfied. It looks well in jeans but not in dresses or skirts. It actually looks like a diaper depends on the dress or skirt. So annoying!! Oh and I also wore my faja every single day all day long for the first 8 wks. After that, I wore it for most of the day but not to sleep.

What kind of surgery do you need to remove the fibrosis. I think I have that on my stomach.

Hi I'm considering Dr. Dimario and just called to schedule a consultation but I'm really not interested in a full BBL but fat transfer from my stomach to my hips for body contouring. Would you recommend him for that? Do you have any other recommendation in the Philadelphia or surrounding counties are? Please advise!

Hey hunny thanks. No I did not get my arm lipo I just got my stomach, back & Flanks lipo. I do not have a before pic I was to embarrassed of my body so I barely took pics. I had a baby pouch that I could t get rid of I had the biggest love handles and I had rolls in my back lol. I am not in Pain I havent been in pain since Day 5. I healed pretty fast. By day 3 & 4 I was driving and bending over and by day 6 I was working again. I would recommend him for BBL because he makes the butt look big. I wanted my butt bigger but for some reason my stomach is taking forever to heal. I know some girl there said she didnt feel her stomach going back to normal until she hit her 6 months smh. So I'm 5 weeks in today I guess I have 4 more months left. And My stomach is ok. Im doing carboxy for my stretch mark. I see an awesome result with carboxy because I dnt notice my stretch marks like that they're getting real thin and light which is awesome.

Hey Ladies ! Its been awhile since My Last Post The Reason is because Im sooo Busy with Work & Taking care of My son and Trying To Recover. Ok So My Recovery Has Been Great So Far. I've been Driving Since day 5 after my Surgery so Driving isnt an issue with me. I've been bending since Week 1 with no problems. I was Taken off the Drain Early because I wasn't draining anything and My Stomach was already tight so there was no point to keep the drain on. The only thing that Caught me Off Guard was that they Gave me Carboxy Treatment on My 2nd week when they are suppose to wait for me to hit 3 weeks. Im not complaining because I See a BIG DIFFERENCE! I love how the stretch marks are slowly disappearing I just hate how my Stomach is starting to shape out now. Ok So I bought the board because the padding I had in the front was hurting my ribs and I couldnt sleep with that padding they saw I had bruising on my ribs so they took off the padding and gave me the board. I went for my carboxy yesterday and the therapist said she doesnt like how my stomach is healing so she put the padding back on the front plus the board. So last night was very uncomfortable !!! I guess I just have to suck it up and deal with the pain. BEAUTY IS PAIN RIGHT ? Lol other than that Im satisfied. My butt has been getting soft since week 3 and now its getting softer and softer as I go up to the hips which is great because I was hating the Hard Butt lol. I'm going to post of pictures later on the reason why I Havent is because I Have a lot of tattoo and I have to figure out a way to blur my tattoos out. Lol
