WORTH IT$6,400
Lymphatic drainage massages have helped my swelling go down tremendously! They hurt at first but they are worth it, I have noticed less swelling the very next day after each one and that I pee more after receiving one. They work with your body’s natural ability to dispose of the fluids and really give you results if done properly and as consistently as possible. I’ve been going to Yana Wellness Center and she is amazing. I had one yesterday and I go back this Friday. I’ve noticed lots of swelling in my ankles and feet so I propped them up last night and finally woke up with normal sized ankles lol! Trust the process ladies, some days are definitely harder than others. My faja, not being able to work out or sit has been hard to adjust to but I know it’s just temporary and I’m definitely happy and thankful for my outcome. Wouldn’t change one bit! Can’t wait to be allowed to work out again and continue my better health journey and maximize my results!

Booty Bean Bag

SurgeryJourney777
I have to say anyone on the fence about buying the booty bean bag it’s definitely worth every penny, I was skeptical at first to try it bc of the price to be honest, but I’m glad I did! My only complaint is the work and mess it took to fill it up, my husband was not happy bc he is the one who filled it LOL! Still cleaning up bean bag filling that fell into random places lol. I would suggest using a cup to fill it once you get closer to it being filled, that’s the part I stepped in to help bc my husband was done with it lolll. You will have to buy your own bean bag filler and it takes about 5 bags. The best priced filler I found was on Amazon and Kmart.com. Once filled it’s great! It’s big but super light weight so I’ve moved it into different rooms. They have different size holes, I purchased the largest hole measurement and it works perfectly. My butt doesn’t touch the ground and my whole body feels supported. I tried the whole “cut a hole in a lounge/beach chair” thing and lets say that didn’t go well to say the least lol. You will waste money destroying chairs you try to “customize” and in the end they won’t be as comfortable as this lol. So glad I bought it! They have an Ig page where they post discounts called bootybeanbag and the site I purchased mine from was bootybeanbag.com
Excellent BBL chair so worth it!

Thank you for such a detailed journey. It really helps. I desperately want to go have my bbl by Dowback. But i have heard horror stories about the office and the coordinators. How was your experience w this? Would you recommend your coordinator?
March 4, 2019
I’m happy for my journey to help you, I did a lot of research on Real Self too that helped me on my journey! My coordinator was Yipsys and she was very sweet. Sometimes it took her a day to respond back to me but she always did and apologized for the delay. I never got to meet her in person though bc she works at the New Life office and I had my surgery at Dr. Dowbak’s surgery center, The Christine Jorgensen Center ( Glamorous). The ladies that work at Dr. Dowbak’s office are kind and helpful as well but definitely be prepared to wait for a while for your preop appt. I waited 2 hrs to meet with Dr. Dowbak but when I did it was worth it. She listened to me and gave me a lot of excellent information. When I came back for my post op appt I only waited like 20 mins. I didn’t experience any rudeness or anything like what I’ve read, they really treated me well. My only complaint is the wait time, but they are a busy office so I can understand why. Best wishes on your journey!!

1 Week Post Op

SurgeryJourney777
I’m now draining very little and it’s an orange color, which indicates I have more swelling than fluids left, which is excellent! Still very swollen but I’m seeing progress each day. I haven’t had any Lymphatic massages since I’ve been back home but I finally found someone where I live so I should be starting 3 a week very soon. In the meantime I’ve been massaging and draining myself in the shower. Also my walking has become a lot less stiff today. Trusting the process that only time will bring and I’m so excited + thankful!! Can’t wait to see my results as I heal more and more!

Hi how did you schedule your consult is dowbak still at new life ?
March 1, 2019
Hi Tyliah, I sent a request through here on Real Self with pics and then a New Life coordinator contacted me a few days later. Yipsys was my coordinator was very nice and tried to answer all my questions timely but I know they run a busy office. Dr. Dowbak also has an Ig page that she asks people to DM her on to set up consults it’s dr.dowbak_ I did everything via text, call, and email bc I don’t live in the area. Dr. Dowbak is with New Life but she has her own private office located where Glamorous Plastic Surgery used to be, it’s The Christine Jorgensen Center of Plastic Surgery located on Flagler st. Both offices are like 15 mins max from each other. Best wishes to you hope this helps!
