Vocal cord paralysis.. anyone ever have issues with that?
WORTH IT$19,800
Hello everyone! So I’m about 7 months out and love my results... but the only thing im not happy about is that after I had my Mommy makeover, my voice was very hoarse, it was hard to speak.. and it wold cut in and out.. oh and I wold be breathless and get tired of trying to talk. My Dr said to give it Time .. well at each visit it was the same and finally army 3 mo he said to make an appt with an ent to get checked. Well , getting an appt for an ent or better be prepared to wait. So finally in Dec I had my appt. it was discovered that I have a paralyzed left vocal chord.
Has this ever happened to anyone? I have another appt soon to go over my cat scan results and barium swallow tests that I have. I’m just scared that this will be permanent. I hate talking now, no one can understand me cause I have to whisper, and to top it off it affects my job because I’m in marketing- I have to head a few meetings a month and it’s so embarrassing trying to talk. I even asked for medical paperwork from anesthesia to see if something happened , but nothing weird I see (I’ll bring with me to ent so she can go over), and my dr is stumped. He said in all of his career nothing like that has happened. I’m pretty scared.

Moving along and finally healing!
Hi! So My incisions are finally healing after my revision! They do still seep a little, I only have to use one dressing. I'm still super swollen- by midday Im miserabley swollen! I'm still loving my results! I am putting Maderma on the scars that did not split open. IM loving my results- swelling and all! Ty Dr Vela and thank you RS sisters for sharing your journey as well as advice to me! I've been released for light workouts- as long as I don't put strain in my incision. Time to see if I can get some abs and do something with these legs of mine!

I'm ok, sometimes I think that I might need some more lipo on my side's and a little bit up top. Some days my stomach sticks out I don't know, I still have to hold my stomach in some times, and I through after my tt I would not have to do that anymore. My appointment is next week. You would have thought that after 7 months I would be flat, but I'm not and I watch what I eat and workout, I'll see what he has to say. Take care you look wonderful;-)

Yes , let me know what he says! I think I need more lipo too on my sides. Like there's a dip below my hips and thighs.. or maybe I need more fat in there .. or my hips need more ? Girl, I'm telling you.... we look amazing, but we are so hard on ourselves.. our own worst critics! Lol, but this was no pocket change .. so who could blame us for wanting perfection? Lol

Tried on pair of jeans today..
Tried on pair of jeans today... it looked great- no stomache overhang , but 30 minutes into wearing them... I was dying!!! I swelled up so much!! I am so glad I had a long shirt on, cause I unzipped and unbuttoned lol!! I even had my CG on.. it was insane! I guess when I wear my sundresses or my yoga pants I do t realize how swollen I get.

I couldn't wear jeans for a while because it seemed to bother my belly too much. I wonder if you swell more with the jeans on. But, HOW FUN THAT YOU HAD NO MUFFIN TOP!! Being able to wear jeans and feel like a normal human is sooooo amazing. Hopefully your swelling will go down some soon. I don't know if you've tried watermelon, but for a while, I ate watermelon everyday, and it really helped pull off fluids. (And then I stopped only because all the watermelon we bought was gross...haha. I need to go buy some again!)

Lol!!! No I didn't know that! I will definitely go get some!!! Ty! By the way... you look amazing!!
