Overall so happy with my results - it was 100% worth it

Surgery Date: 3/3/22
I waited to write this review till I was about six months post op and I hope this could help anyone looking to get this procedure done. I want to start off by saying from the moment I contacted Skin&Skinnier they have been nothing but helpful, kind & overall amazing. The whole team is truly so friendly. They really made me feel comfortable and put me at ease. Also, I am BEYOND happy I chose Dr Torres for my procedure because he’s an amazing surgeon.
The day of the procedure went well. I was a little nervous but once I was actually there and everyone was so kind it made me feel safe and in good hands.
Pain wise for me it was an uncomfortable feeling but bearable.. not so much painful just an odd feeling.
I was fidgety but the meds they give you help a ton and I noticed being on my phone helped just to keep me distracted. Once the procedure is done they have you rest and make sure you’re feeling okay until you’re ready.. I went straight home after that which was about a 3-4 hour car ride and just slept mostly.
The next day I did not take any of the pain medication they prescribed me I only took Tylenol extra strength for about 4 days and then I was fine. I was walking around at the park and making sure to follow all post op instructions. Dr Torres wife Doris is a literal angel! Any question or concern you may have she’s on it! Doris always answered right away no matter how silly or small the question may have been. She checks in with you frequently as well just to make sure you’re doing okay.
I had my surgery on a Thursday so I called off for the day of and Friday and went back to work Monday.
As the weeks went by it certainly got easier and I was pretty much back to my normal routine. I wore my faja consistently and kept up with my incisions. my one complaint of this whole experience was the healing process of my incisions they annoyed me to tears! But on the other hand I am blessed to say that was my only complaint. Also they are fully healed and the scars are lightening very nice. I use scar gel & silicone tape to help with this. FYI I started laying on my sides around 2 months and maybe I should have waited a little longer because my hip dips came back slightly.. nothing like before and I would say it’s more noticeable in pictures than in person but one hip is dented more than the other because I tend to lay on the same side every night! So that’s something to keep in mind. Recovery can be a lot of ups & downs but in the end I was so happy I did this for myself and the chin lipo really made such a difference for me as well I don’t have much else to say about it other than I’m happy I added that on!
Overall i’m so happy with my results and it was 100% worth it. If I ever get any future work done I will certainly go back to skin&skinnier. if you have any questions feel free to DM me on IG @amvdrid or here i’d be happy to answer or send any pics!

Also, wanted to share this is how my scars are looking now.
