just wanted to post my 3 month pics. I have lost volume since my surgery but that was expected. I'm still getting massages for the lumps i have on my stomach and sides, not really getting any better but Im currently looking for a doctor for a revision. (one that uses drains) Not much else to report, i sit on it all the time now and it doesn't hurt or feel weird. I still have numbness in the lipped area and I feel zingers every now and then but nothing too bad. Im starting to feel normal now. I can carry my one year old without it hurting my stomach etc...
any suggestions on a good doctor that can fix my lumps?

So many with the same lump issues I'm 1yr+ post op and still have them! He def needs to improve his lipo skills....

You may still see quite a bit of improvement in your lumps the next several months, unlike "brianne" who is over a year past her surgery date. The swelling and zingers indicate you are still healing so maybe some of the lumpiness will resolve; so, I think perhaps you should wait a few more months before searching for a doctor because I think they will tell you to come back later because you are still healing.

Yeah you r correct... I contacted a doctor and he advised me to wait so I guess it's just a waiting game

Did he make you pay again for the revision ?
April 10, 2016
I never got a revision with him. He never answered my emails, returned my calls or messages. So I am looking for a another doctor that can fix his mess!

He can't just ignore you! I would file a complaint with Board of Registration in Medicine. Ignoring you is a HIPPA violation.

This has been so much of a headache and disappointment that I'd rather put it behind me and not deal with him ever again for any reason.

file a complaint he's licensed in the USA u didn't go out of the country filing a complaint can cause him to lose his license and u will also be able to sue

Lumps
I uploaded pictures of my stomach and sides. Some you can't see too good unless I'm turned at an angle and the light hits it just right but when you touch my stomach and sides you can definitely feel them. I have a lot of loose skin on my stomach which was expected because dr told me I would need a tummy tuck and I'm ok with that because that was in my plans anyways but when I do get a tummy tuck the lose skin will be smooth and the lumps will b even more visible. I'm hoping the next round will smooth out the lumps and I will get massages right away and not wait a month to start.

I've been researching the lump issue and many surgeons have said it is due to too aggressive lipo. We all know Dr. D is incredibly aggressive in his lipo. I got massages since post op day 1 and still have some lumps. They seem to be going away little by little but I can't afford to book another 10 massages ($750). I also have some loose skin which he warned me about so I've accepted that. Good luck with your next round.

Hey! Do you have insurance? Please call them. I recently found out that my insurance covers not only chiro which I knew but also acupuncture and massages which includes lymphatic so I will end up paying my $10 co-pay for mine. It's worth a shot. Actually, I'm going to make a post about this.

Wow! Exact same result on me in same place! It is like you can see where the cannula was. Too aggressive. My whole back is that way.

Disappointed in Dr. Delvechio!
I contacted javonica in early February about getting round 2 due to loss of volume and a few lumps on my stomach. She asked me to send current pics and I did. She said she would forward them to the dr and would get back to me in a few days. A whole week and a half passed and I didn't hear from her so I contacted her... She "was not available " so I left a message for her and of course she never called me back. A couple more weeks passed so I thought to email the doctor directly and I did. I simply asked for a revision because of the lumps and the loss of volume. He called me the next day in the morning. I told him I wasn't happy because I lost volume and the lumps looked gross. He asked for pics so I sent them to him. (Even though I had already sent them to javonica) I really thought he would respond to my request but I have yet to hear from him despite the fact that I have emailed him another 2 times.
I'm disappointed because his fees are higher than other surgeons and for that amount you should get good after care. They only communicate with you before and right after the surgery and if your not happy after you heal oh well your basically on your own to find another surgeon to get you where you want to be and hopefully fix a lumpy stomach.
I followed all the instructions that were given to me like not sitting... Etc.... With round 2 I'm going to search for a doctor that uses drains and will definitely get massages because I'm sure that is the reason why my stomach is lumpy.

He's on real self answering questions but he can't answer my emails for a request for a revision!

Ms Booty Booty- i’ve been trying to message you directly it’s not working on my end please message me: ladymita@yahoo.com Or on here
March 5, 2016
I agree, he should def us drains, because our lymphatic system is compromised after surgery, n cannot fully eliminate all that swelling by it self....massages are needed even though he says other...
March 6, 2016
I know! Why he doesn't use drains is beyond me. And he shouldn't tell patients massages are not necessary when they are.
March 5, 2016
Wow i hate when doctors wont admit they did a bad job. Can you post recent pics tho ?
March 7, 2016
I got revision by him and it was all for nothing. Didn't fix anything, actually some areas look worse. Sucks to spend so much, all the pain, and his ego and greed not allow for proper after care.
March 7, 2016
That's how he hooks the fish. Reels them in and whether good or bad result you are thrown back. Once he has his money you are no longer a priority.
March 7, 2016
Exactly! That's why I feel so disappointed! I spent months searching for a good surgeon and spent a whole lot more than 9k... More like close to 15k for surgery, airfare for me, hubby and 2 kids, hotel for 9 days, car rental and food and all for an average size ass and a lumpy stomach! It just wasn't worth it. If I would've known I was going to need a round 2 I would have just gone to a more reasonable priced surgeon. All the hype about him being the best and the King of bbls is just not what I was expecting.... Just stating my opinion
March 7, 2016
And what angers me more than anything is that he doesn't respond to my emails! That is just plain sorry on his part
March 7, 2016
He gets pissed about doing revisions for his mistakes. I am just as bad after revision by him so better off finding someone else. There definitely some fake profiles on here. Good luck
March 8, 2016
We end up spending more because we then have to buy compression garments + massages
April 30, 2021
He definitely does get pissed about doing revisions!!! His attitude was nasty!!! When I needed correcting! I had to go out of country to fix his horrible work and three years later although I am fixed I’m still passed! He is NOT cheap at all! The service received in his office from his administrative staff is “ghetto”!!! Sorry it is! To be on Newbury St. one of the richest streets in Boston...your staff should reflect that and have high levels of professional maturity! Too busy giving free work to women he likes. So disappointed in him and his work!
April 30, 2021
Me too! Thought he was bbl king... ha! Dominican Republic Dr. Mallol is where it’s at! Fixed all his horrible work! Now you know your work is horrible if a woman is going to risk going to another country!! I didn’t even have a passport! I got one quick to go fix his foolishness! I couldn’t even get naked in front of a man with that bullshit work. Straight horrible and I’ll continue to blast his ass every chance I get!!!
As far as my before and after he just sent them to me.. I didn't ask for them he just sent them.
