26 Years Old, 5'3, 140 Lbs , BBL Beverly Hills, CA

Today I had the best lymphatic massage for an hour. I found a wonderful lady in Downtown LA.. (if anyone needs her info let me know...shes $60 a session or 3 for $135) it felt so good and gave me immediate relief after how I was feeling last night. She was a pro and also taught me exactly how to do it at home since Dr. Hazani is out of town and he wasnt able to show me. I have another booked for Friday too.. she told me a recipe for smoothies to have twice a day to help with the swelling ... Pineapple, Cinnamon, Ginger and Lemon. Im going to try those. just wanted to let you guys know I was feeling better today and Ill keep you updated with any changes

Hey dolls I need advice. ugh I am soooo uncomfortable this week. My abdomen is SO hard and SO swollen ( I hope....) and SOOOOO TIGHT. did this happen to anyone else? am I healing slow? If I am seated on my bbl pillow or in one position for too long I can barely stand up because it feels like my skin is going to like rip, its so tight..my flexibility is 100% GONE.. also, if im in a seated position for too long I get a crease in my stomach that eventually goes away. Since I hit the two week mark Ive taken off my binder and am wearing my stage 2 garment only, as instructed. (some nights Ill wear the binder if Im really swollen...i.e. right now..but when I go out of the house I use a waist trainer over my garment) I literally look as I did before surgery the past four days... I have done things every day and have been driving, swimming, spending time with friends and have been working daily using my BBL pillow...maybe Ive been doing to much? I also stopped arnica and bromelain... maybe I should continue those like right after post op? I went back to life as usual after a week post op... Now - Dr. Hazani has been gone for a week and will be for two more and I cant get my "two week" appointment to even learn how to properly massage until July 10th (exactly a month post op) can anyone link me to some good Youtube videos or something??? Im doing what I think is correct but clearly not if I am this uncomfortable. I have my first session for a professional lymphatic massage tomorrow and am booking two-three a week until I see Dr. Hazani again. (girls - heads up... this surgery is way more expensive then just what you pay the doctor by the way) I looked so good one week post op. not swollen at all. I hope this is actually swelling and I dont stay like this. Man... this recovery is an emotional and physical rollercoaster... any tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. : (

Two weeks post op tomorrow! everything has been pretty good but I starting to get that hardness in my belly at the one week mark... so ready to get a massage this weekend! finally can start using my bbl pillow and can keep my binder off and just wear my second stage garment. I got a waist cincher from Vedette (style 902) which I will wear over my garment for added support. The bruising is almost all gone but the swelling comes and goes.. I need to be sure Im eating good detox foods and drinking more water. I got a few questions about my thighs and have seen a lot of concern about doing it. Im actually really really happy I did. Mine are pretty smooth and even with no sagging skin at all. My legs also dont look like tooth picks and its only a subtle change. I also felt the least amount of pain in them post op.. actually really none at all honestly. I was also kind of worried before I did them but Dr. Hazani did an awesome job. The only thing is there is a lot of hardness in my groin/ upper inner thigh area right now because theres quite a few lymph nodes in that area and my body is trying to clean house. The hardness in my thighs and abdomen create a ton of tightness so a massage needs to happen asap. Ill let you know if it does help alot after. anyways- heres some photos of my progress!
