Liposuction on flanks, lower back & upper back - 800cc to each cheek/hip dip

I had my bbl surgery on May 11 and I am happy so far! I had liposuction on my flanks, lower back and upper back. I didn't have lipo on my stomach because I had a tummy tuck last year with a different surgeon and I need to get a revision but Dr. Schulman said I need to wait at least 12 months. I decided to get a bbl before a tummy tuck revision because I have wanted a bbl for almost 10 years now. I wish I knew of Dr. Schulman back when I booked my bbl in 2014. I had no idea there was such an amazing surgeon only an hour away from me. In 2014, I flew to Miami to have a bbl by a different surgeon who told me a day before my surgery I couldn't have a bbl ever because I have raynauds which constricts blood vessels. He told me I could have lost fingers if I did the surgery. I was defeated and devastated. It took a long time to accept this. One day I was searching online and came across Dr. Schulman. When I reached out to Dr. Schulman to see if I am a candidate for a bbl, I was told with clearance I could get a bbl even though I have raynauds. I was so excited! I counted down each day until my surgery! Recovery has been easy! I was told I had 2700 ml of fat removed and after the pure fat was separated, I received 800 cc to each cheek/ hip dip. I have an amazing shape now thank you to Dr. Schulman. He did an amazing job even with little fat to work with. Of course I wish I could have gotten more projection but he could only do so much with the fat he got out. I am hoping it will fluff out throughout the healing process. When I took off my faja for the first time I was so happy. My butt has shrunk a little since but I hope and pray I won't lose more fat.

I can't believe how fast time is flying by! I can't wait to switch into a stage 2 garment. I'm tired of the stage 1 garment because it looks so weird under clothes for me. I didn't have drains so I noticed I had a lot of swelling especially on my lower back. Today I touched the swelling on my lower back and when I touched it, it moved up so I need to get it drained this week. Hopefully I will feel some relief once that's done.

I had a seroma drained on Wednesday and I am going back on Monday to have it drained again. I hope it will go away and that I won't have to get it drained after that. I'm wearing a stage 2 garment now and I like it so much better than stage 1!! It looks good under clothes which was my biggest annoyance with the stage 1 garment!
