3 months later... emotional...
I am hesitant to write a follow up... its been exactly 3 months and 3 days since my surgery...
I am thrilled about how my BA turned out. it looks perky and full like I wanted it to be.
however... lipo... thats another story... i am not too happy as of this very moment.
in saying that, i know Dr. Rahal is wonderful and has been holding my hand through this process of trying to accept the situation I am in... and then he has been working with me to come up with solutions..
i am only writing this to kind of verbalize my disappointment. my body does not look how i expected it to look. Dr has gone in knowing that this is a revision lipo... and i am sad that i had to be the misfortunate one to come out of such an extensive and "expensive" surgery not looking perfect. according to Dr, the pre existing scar tissue was too hard and there were parts that developed hyperscar tissues which caused it to have these bumps in my lower abdomen. so ... while my upper abdomen looks nice and tight, my lower abdomen looks like nothing has been done and worse with pocket of fat bulging from sides... i spend every night rubbing and crying over my pocket of fat and then wake up every morning and having to dress over this ever protruding bump. .. Dr. Rahal has been wonderful and has offered to revise the lipo just for the larger bump i have on my left abdomen, but unfortunately it won't get any better than what my right side looks like. he said my best option for a flat belly would be getting a tummy tuck. so.. in that I am planning a tummy tuck at the beginning of next year. i really was hoping i was done with my cosmetic surgery days.. i didn't want to be a person who keeps going back to the doctor to get this and that done. but unfortunately, i am not happy with the way i look.. even after spending over 12k .. i am still unhappy ... i just keep telling myself it will look better after this procedure, but again i have doubts since now i have had 2 failed lipos...I am traumatized by more surgeries and at the same time i can't bare to leave it the way it is and suffer thru the psychological trauma everyday... i am moody and emotional and having to think about another large payment for the tummy tuck is getting to me... i am just very sad and keep asking myself why couldn't my lipo be as perfect as those other lady's lipo revisions.... i am sad and then i am angry and then i am frustrated and sad again. i continue to blame the first doctor for botching and then myself for wanting to have flat stomach for the first time in my life.
so, i have a revision lipo for the pocket set for middle of August. and hopefully tummy tuck in the 2nd week of january. I'll do a better job of updating this post...

4 days to go...
Wow... I'm getting so excited! The lipo360 and breast augmentation is paid and ready to go... I had spoken with Dr. RAHAL last Friday and picked an implant size... he suggested that I can go with a 520 cc. High profile. Because I wanted a fuller look on top. He said I can go as high as 560 or even 600.. but I am too scared to go that big. I am excited and then scared that I'm just gonna look super too heavy. But I know Dr. RAHAL is very good and he wont make me look unbalanced. Also regarding lipo360, I asked him to go down a little below my waist and get my ever protruding bulge above my pubic area. (Ladies u know what I am talking about ) dr. Rahal was so kind and thoughtful... even when I started crying in front of him because of everything that's been going on in my life, he was so kind and understanding and we spoke as tho we were good friends not just as a patient and surgeon. I'm super excited. I'm gonna be going to store tomorrow to pick up items needed for after the surgery. .. looking forward to my perky boobs and flat stomach. Lol wish me luck
