Recovery phase.

WORTH IT$14,550
It has been several months now. I am grateful for my health. I have struggled with my health after my BBL. I have times in which my booty feels another pain and I worry about an abscess. I never expected to have these worries with my purchase of lipo and a bbl. It can be very serious! Pay attention ladies.

did you have your surgery revision with dass i’m going with him on december. i’m a little scared
Hey there!! No I haven’t had the revision yet. I have some small defects from my emergency surgeries that do need fixed. I have waited to ensure all the infection was completely gone. I couldn’t afford to get sick again. So I will be contacting him and his office with in the next few weeks. I hope he is as honest as he seems with his approach. I was a victim to bad circumstances and it was something I am recovered from. I think you will be great!! Just be super careful about your recovery and pay attention to your body I wish you nothing but the best. If you ever need anything let me know and I’ll give you my number. :-)
Thank you very much!! I hope that Dass can help you to fix your little defects. :-)
I can’t believe what happened. But so glad you’re getting better. You look amazing as always and wishing you nothing but the best with this ordeal. Start strong and you’ll be in my prayers

So happy you're ok !!!! Are you a smoker, drink alcohol & do or did you exercise regularly?
I don’t smoke drink occasionally and do work out a few days a week.
Ok...thanks. I see !!! A seroma is something that just may occur on anyone having this type procedure?!
I'm scheduled March 5th. I eat healthy,exercise, doesn't smoke or drink. Just hope I'm doing everything ok
so what happened? was it fixed ... I saw another review of a getting the same problem with Dr. Dass and I’m having surgery with him soon ... I wonder how is happened
I was treated for sepsis for four months. I went to the hospital every single day for four months. I also had a second surgery because of the infection. my current plastic surgeon says he can’t pin point exactly where it went wrong other than too much fat injected into too small of a space. said the fat didn’t have a chance to live. either way it’s been a roller coaster ride. I’ve missed months of work. and I have to have some type of revision because my two immediate surgeries caused a loss in my boot plus scars. at this point I feel blessed to be alive after my ordeal. I love my lipo and my booty but it does need a revision after the other TWO revision surgeries.
can I ask how many cc’s were put in ?
and maybe you can tell us what to look out for after surgery
900 cc’s in each cheek.
really it ended up looking like a bug bite that grew. just keep an eye out for any random bumps or lumps under your skin. you’ll do great!
I hope you're doing better after all that has happened to you. I'm sure all of these surgeries have become costly, I'm sorry that you had to go thru this awful trauma. I wish you the best of luck with your healing. Thank you for sharing your bbl journey doll :)

Sorry to ready about this. Hoping you make a good recovery and the anxiety of it all doesn’t get you down.
Thank u for sharing your story.. do you regret doing it? Im 49 and want too do it. also tired of flat butt.. i your feeling better!!!
No I don’t regret it. But I need a revision done because my scars have slightly changed my profile. Overall I’m happy. It was a rough four and a half months! Two surgeries two picc lines and daily trips to he hospital for medicine refills (both medicines went into my pump that was inserted into my artery. My pump went every six hours) and then my wound care which was painful. It sucked. But I hear this complication is fairly rare. Fat necrosis is what Dr Dass said it was.
