I have had surgeries before, where bones are broken and replaced and chiseled but nothing compares to this surgery!! This Lipo surgery is not for the faint at heart, you have to really want it! The swelling and nerve pain that takes place is insane! My lower abdomen swelled so bad that by day three the nurses poked my lipo wound with a small scissor and manually squeezed excess fluid out as a drainage, which I almost passed out!!! The pain lasts and lasts sometimes I hear for months! The post op care is the most important I did 14 sessions of Lymphatic drainage massage and that too hurts, no mater how soft they go, and I did radio-frequency waves for skin tightening, also uncomfortable. I tell everyone, without the girdle you feel like a blubby, wobbly jellyfish with no structure, and every nerve is on fire and even a silk scarf running over your skin is painful, even on day 21.
Day 4 tends to be depression/regret stage, because you can't sleep it hurts and is uncomfortable in girdle/faja, you look a wreck and realize, damn this is a big commitment!! You wont see real results until 3/6 months!!!
Well, I am on the journey, please follow and enjoy. Hope all gets better, as I am sure it will:)

Right! This pain is excruciating! And wow, you had the most bruising I've seen! Oh my goodness...but you are looking good babe,v and it will all be worth it. And your hips look amazing, I can't believe you're not happy with them. We are all so different lol

I bruise very easily and I was taking arnica pills a month before and while healing as well as cream!
The hips are nice just a bit wider than I had hoped for but I am still very swollen so I hope it will go down?
Thank you so much for ur encouragement:)

u look wonderful! did you have a lift with the implants ? are they over the muscle? most reviews are under the muscle,, im wondering what is the difference

Thank u so much:) I'm still swollen very much and still healing.
They are gummy bear, tear drop shape silicone over the muscle. I got over because I have a good amount of natural breast tissue and wanted most natural look.

Thanks for starting a review and for adding pics, please keep us posted on your journey.
I know they mean well but I wish they wud keep their negative vibes to themselves!
I think it is normal for loved ones to voice concern over elective surgery, especially when that surgery will be done abroad. If you feel you've done your research and selected a group of highly qualified plastic surgeons who will take good care of you both during surgery and post-operatively then you should feel confident in your choice. When traveling for surgery it is always smart to take extra safety precautions, especially in countries who have a history of travel advisories.
There are some added challenges to medical tourism, like aftercare. But so long as you are aware of them and prepared you should feel confident. Are you planning on staying there for a while to recover?
I am staying for 3.5 weeks to be able to recover and will stay longer of need be. I got international insurance from AAA for additional $500k and have local american consulate phone mine be on speed dial.
I picked from an array of board certified, some even US trained medical degrees and leaders in the industry.
So they are a little bit more $ but when it comes to your body , you are worth it:)
Sounds like you are prepped and ready!
