1 Month Revision Update!

It's been a month since my revision and I am very happy with the results! Even though it took 2 procedures to get here, everything happens for a reason. The recovery for the area on my back flanks was a lot worse than my stomach and I am actually happy I didnt have to go thru both areas at the same time. The 1st week was so painful I almost got my prescription for painkillers filled! The back is no joke.
The actual procedure was the same as before. Seamless, Painless and TOP NOTCH all around. Woke up at home in bed. I would recommend this doctor and this facility to any and everybody that wants a 5-star experience. I asked around and it is VERY rare that a doctor will do a revision for free to appease their client so I am extremely pleased. Dr. Richards even called me the day after to check on me and tell me that he did end up getting more out than he initial thought (he originally told me it was just loose skin). Because he is so great I held back saying "I told u so!" Lol!
The only thing I stress is that you show your doctor your goal photos and be very clear about the areas you want to focus on and the overall goal. I never did that. Every doctor is different and has different clientele so you have to let them know what your specific goal is. I doubt most of the rich housewives from this area that come to my doctor are looking to get their waist snatched. Lol.
This has motivated me to go to the gym more and I am hoping by the summer to have some abs! Best decision I have ever made. Thanks Dr. Richards!!! Now on to paying off this credit card bill…

UPDATE! Had my Revision this morning!

I am not quite sure how to approach this review as I have yet to see the results of my revisions. I will try to post photos tomorrow after I attempt a shower or sometime next week. But I just had to say something about my experience today. Please keep in mind I am writing this having NOT SEEN MY RESULTS!
Dr. Richards and his staff are top of the line and I would recommend him to any and everyone. There is just no way around it. Despite not being fully satisfied with my initial procedure, the service you receive is A1 - from the staff (the entire staff is friendly and courteous), to the sedation process (painless,fully passed out), to the professionalism; I truly understand why there is such a hefty price tag. I pray I like the outcome this time around but I had to give credit where it was do even before seeing it. I will definitely be changing my rating to 4 Stars even if I am still not fully satisfied with the results and 5 stars if I am. I will update later this week with all the details of this procedure. SO happy this process is over. Btw, didnt bother getting pain meds this time around (my choice). Just Tylenol if needed. Bring on the soreness... to be continued.

Revision scheduled for next week... :(

So my revision surgery is scheduled for next Friday. I almost don't want to do it. I was nervous enough the 1st time around now I am wondering if I am trying my luck going in again. I am really unhappy with the results but just not sure if I want to do this all over again. I am also praying I don't have to have another drain this time around. I hated that thing and the scar is still not fully gone as I scar very easily.
I pray things go as smoothly as the 1st time around with even less pain and that I am satisfied with the outcome...
