So far doing great. Really. Of course some of the fat is gone now. But holy hell.... it still looks bomb. My right side is a little more uneven then my left. But its not too noticeable. I would def recommend my doctor to anyone!!
Bruising
5 days post op.
Not doing too bad. The doc messaged me the day after and the day after that to check in but I'm doing fine. Bruising is pretty bad. I bought some arnica from Amazon along with some extra foam padding to help with contour. My faja is extremely loose so I need to ask him about that. The swelling in my legs is really uneven. That is making me pretty nervous. The faja goes half way through my thigh which makes the lower part alot bigger then then the top part with an indent in it. So I don't like that. I'll ask doc about it again during my post operation appointment.
I got a bbl pillow and a back pillow this time. I def encourage getting them for sure.

My FINAL BBL
I want to start off with, this is my last and final procedure to my butt. No matter how this one turns out in the end. I'm done. I have spent so much time and money on this and the risk of dying one day on the operating table is higher and higher every time I go in. The only thing I may do one day A long time down the road. I mean years and years is take the implants totally out.
Let's talk about Dr Parikh. I think this is the first time I've really felt like the doctor cared what I wanted. Not just what he wanted or how much money he was getting. Although it was VERY expensive. The price was on Par with all the other doctors.
I got a BBL along with Renuvion for skin tightening. That was all included in the total above.
The office responded within hours. I had certain questions that I asked before the procedure and through out my 4 month waiting period.. they were all answered very quickly. I really like that they text too by the way. I can't talk on the phone during work most of the time so texting or email was simple and easy.
The Anesthesiologist was literally the best I've ever had. I'm not saying this for any kind of promo reasons like some girls get to post positive reviews. But he was The best. Very goofy and funny which lightened my anxiety coming into the room. I have never been stuck with an IV just once. Most places have to poke me 5 or 6 times. Instead of going with whats easiest or normal.. like my hand. He went straight to the vein that was big and juicy. Inconvenient but extremely appreciated.
Have you ever had an Anesthesiologist that was just gruff and to the point. Borderline rude but mostly just way way way too Professional?? Thats how alot of my other ones are. Some may prefer that. I like someone who is going to be super friendly with me.
The first nurse lady was a Doll. Literally so friendly.. made me feel like a person not just a walking paycheck and I loved it. She was also one of the ones that helped me out.
The second nurse lady I wasn't a huge fan. Very jerky... very rushed. She actually kind of slammed my faja on while I was just starting to wake up and it hurt really really bad. Granted... maybe they had another surgery to get too or maybe that's how she is. But man... that was an impression that stuck and I didn't like it. They both helped me out to the car and she was nice enough to grab me a stool to get in my car. So that I did appreciate.
Dr parikh saw me both Before and called me after the procedure a few hours later to make sure everything was okay. He wasn't rushed in the before visit and he listened well. I was originally nervous because he is "in my impression" like a jack of all trades. But his before and after pictures and his videos omg I was amazed and immediately attracted to him as a plastic surgeon that I would want to be my final bbl doctor.
The faja you get isn't nearly as tight as the ones from say Dr cortes. Idk if that is a good or bad thing. For me its a good thing... I could hardly breathe in my first one so I had to take it off really way before I was supposed to. Not to mention I couldn't have shaping pads in there.
The procedure:
Seemed fast... went in at 730 and got out at 1020 ish . I'm very very bruised up. And I'm actually in alot more pain then I was expecting. The oxys do not hold up to the pain by the way. Its weird feeling because no pain in my butt really like maybe a 2 or 3 unless my dog accidently steps on it then it jumps up to like a 9. But he's tiny so hopefully no damage was done. He only weighs 5 lbs. The parts that hurt really bad is where he did the renuvion. If you look it up it looks pain ful... ehm well it is. It feels like a heavy burning sensation inside your skin...(post procedure- clearly I was out for the real thing).
My booty :
Ohhh boy does it look really really good right now. It doesn't look so diaper like which I had when I was with cortes. He filled in my top butt and some around it then got 500cc in each of my hips. FINGERS crossed that I keep as much of that as humanly possible. Seriously.
When I can take the faja off in a few days I will show pics
