6 weeks out and about 85% happy
It has been a minute since I posted. Today marked 6 weeks since surgery. I have been healing pretty well. I am about 85% happy with my results. As I stated in one of my previous post I still have love handles that I just assumed would be worked out doing the intital surgery. Well six weeks out and I can still grab a chunk of fat on both sides. I plan on having lipo retouch up by Dr B. Not happy that I have to pay an additional out of pocket fee when I feel like what I paid in the beginning should have covered this. At this point I'm so not happy with my sides that I'm willing to put out more money and pray that he gets it right. If after this second go around I do not get the results I desired I am sad to say that I would not ever go back to Dr B nor will I go back and have any more plastic surgery. This has left a sort of bad taste in my mouth. Dr B and his wife and staff are great and I have nothing g personal against them but for paying thousands of my hard earned money I just expected more. I also will just get back in the gym and start making better food choices.
I will post again once I have my revision surgery.

Thank you I'm still dealing with swelling from time to time but my love handles have been consistent. I think once I see my sides flat where I can't pinch more than a inch I will maybe bump my Percentage up to 90% satisfied.

Hi- I'm curious, did your dr not agree to the revision at his expense? Why do you need to pay for a second surgery? Does he not think it is necessary? Its hard to tell from your pictures that you have extra skin because they look so smooth and your shape is very nice. I am almost 11wks and I can definitely grab an inch at my sides right above my incision. I'm not sure if that will get better (I doubt it) or if it will something to address with my ps at my future appt. Best of Luck to you!

When I went back for a follow up at about 3 weeks I think it was he stated that if he could change anything he would change my sides. He never said I guess because I did not ask at the time if he would charge me. So yesterday I told him I'm very unhappy still with my sides. He said he would only charge me $500 for the revision but then there are additional cost because the surgery center is a separate cost as well as anesthesia. So I guess regardless I would be paying something. If I did not pay his fee I would be left to pay the facility fee I'm guessing. Idk my husband does not feel I should be paying anything either. At this point I just want to be happy with my results.

Hey hey.. So today I went to see Dr B and everything went great. He says that I look good and that I am healing well. I must say, that my scars last night when I took the pics look different from what I see today. Idk what happen. Who knows.. Anyway Dr B gave me a prescription for some strips that has cortisone in it. I will see how that works, and he told me to switch from that once I notice my skin color change. I will switch from that back to my scar away strips.
One thing I am happy to say is that Dr B finally got on the same page as me when it comes to my sides. I have mentioned since I saw him after surgery that I did not like my sides. Today he finally said that if he could change anything he would change my sides.. YES!!! lol. So he said we can address that in a few months out. Can't wait... :-)

Girl you look great! You look so slim! I had a second round of contouring with Dr. B to refine things back in 2013. It's such a journey. You look great though. Happy healing!

Thank you. I don't feel I look that great yet. I still feel like I have fullness in my belly. I'm looking forward to seeing what I will look like in another month. I'm also definitely looking forward to Dr B addressing these handles on my sides. What contouring did you get done?
