You look great.!! How do you feel? How much was the total cost?
Hi
Thank you!! I feel great, just a bit sore and uncomfortable due to my stomach being so tight! The total cost was $4150.
You look amazing good luck
Thank you,! Has your soreness gotten better?
You look really good. I hear the drains are a pain but not having them even worse because the fluid has no where to immediately flush out of.
The drains are annoying, they didn't really hurt, up until the 5 seconds it took to take them out!
The drains are a bit uncomfortable to sleep & shower but worth it. I had a liposuction in 1996 without drainage & 5 months later I still look like I was five months pregnant. This time at 2 wks post op I had drainage with my BBL & lipo 360 & I have barely any stomach, it’s all swelling. Follow my journey. Happy healing
That's what I figure. I wonder why it's not the standard to use drains. Some doctors use them and some don't. Especially knowing how much fluid build up occurs with lipo.
Hiiii im thinking about having the prpcedure. How painful is it? What about the massages?? You look awesome!!
The procedure is not terrible. It is uncomfortable and painful if you don’t follow through with your pain medication at least the first three days. You will feel sore. However as long as you have someone to take good care of you you will heal smoothly . I gave birth 100% natural with no medication and this procedure does not compare to what I went through Giving birth. Follow my journey I have listed from supplies till the beginning and will continue till my results are 100% complete. This is worth it your life will change, you will feel and gain total confidence. Grab a pad and start your homework you have the support off all the dolls on this website. Good luck and feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns

Did you go to avana?
Yes I went to Avana & chose Dr. Moradian. So far so good, they have return my calls by the end of the business day which is great, my own Dr calls me back the following day. At Avana they are very professional on the Phone & at the clinic.

Finally did I!!

I arrived around 845 Tuesday, July 23. Paid for and took the drug test($25). U also purchased 3 foams and a faja and a stomach board ($210).
Dr. Earle is great, very professional. He was very gentle, as u was nervous as heck. Once I opened my eyes from surgery, the pain was intense, maybe diue to me shaking all over because I was FREEZING! My husband helped to the vehicle. We rented an SUV so that I could lay Comfortably in the backseat. The ride back to the BNB was fine. I didn't rest comfortably at all out Airbnb is next to the airport, so I hear planes every 5-7 mins... Okay back to my story. Believe it our not, I wasn't in any pain. Untilllllllllllll the next day, the day of me first massage. It hurts like heck, OMG! Thevlsdy in the adjacent room was screaming! The masseuse was like excellent, but damn!!!! It surely helped with draining. I was very sore last night. From my arms to my pinky toe. My next follow/massage is tomorrow. I'm sure, I misspelled a lot of words, but I tried. Laying on my stomach isn't easy. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask below.

Congrats!!! You look great! My surgery is scheduled August 1st with Dr Zayas at evolution md. I am super nervous but excited! I’m 38 with 2 kids and 1 husband. Lol. On a scale of 1-10 how bad is the pain. Did you do local or general anesthesia?
Never too late to look good, I am 47 y/o and 3 months post op bbl.
Congratulations and have a speedy recovery.
Happy healing, stay on the meds specially when going for the massages.
Looking good! He seems to be the best plastic surgeon.
You look AWESOME!!!!!!!
I am also over 40 and planning to get Lipo&BBL this September. I am So nervous!
How long was your recovery?
I was soooooo nervous, but Dr. Earle put me at ease! Today is day 3, the only real issue I have is no sleeping . No real pain, just soreness and I hate this darn drain(it comes out tomorrow)!
