Pictures

I finally figured out how to upload pics. Well kinda- it looks like no matter how I try to crop it or resize it cuts off the outside of the pics so I hope you guys can see & they upload correctly- (I’m doing this from my phone) I haven’t taken any recently without clothes on & but I will so you can get an idea of how things progress.
I never thought I’d post these but here they go....????
I am 5’7 & 180 lbs.
Top left before. (????) Top right is the day after. (????)Bottom left is 2 weeks post. (????)Bottom right is 6 weeks post. (????) I realized after the fact they are flipped because someone took the top 2 of me while I took the bottom 2 of myself in the mirror.
I’m 3 months out now and mostly healed. I still have some numb spots on my back and sides but nothing like before. Every now and again I feel a burn/ pulling feeling on my skin but it’s just the nerves doing their healing thing. I work out but I can’t run...or jump...basically if my butt does a hard “bounce” it still hurts but I’m sure that will go away with time. If I wear my compression garment while working out the “bounce” doesn’t hurt.
Dr Stover is still amazing- I send her pictures and questions (she gives her personal cell number after surgery) and she responds every time and is happy with my progress (me too!!)
I wish I did this sooner! The ability to throw on some clothes without having to hide this, or cover that, make sure this holds this in- is so freeing.
I try to answer all my direct messages so feel free to shoot me any questions. I just might take a day or so to get back to you.

I Can’t Say Enough Good Things

I had a hard time finding info for Dr Stover from other patients as opposed to other Dr’s on here so I thought I should definitely do this review for you ladies. I had lipo360 with BBL on 02/06/2019 with Dr Stover. I wanted a double board certified ps that was female, who’s results I found online I felt matched my body type & I liked the results. It was at Avana Plastic Surgery in Miami (I’ll do a separate review for the center) & I came from out of state for this procedure. The day I flew in I had my preop & to sum it up she is amazing. I was scared (who wouldn’t be?!) but she immediately put me at ease. She is warm, personable, relatable, direct & just so sweet. I felt confident w selecting her as my surgeon. I was never rushed, we spoke at length about what I wanted (natural - just wanted my oomph back) and what she could achieve. I initially wanted the bbl w ba but after discussing this she stated I really was ok breast wise and doin just the bbl would allow her to take more fat than if I did both procedures. I’m chesty anyway so I wasn’t going for size just...oomph lol- We agreed that the results I wanted would require more lipo than having both procedures would allow. I really felt like she took a good honest look at me and provided me with her best professional assessment. So just a BBL w lipo 360 it was. She gave me my Rx for my aftercare meds at the preop. I had my surgery early the next morning & she was very patient and explained everything that was going to happen, marked me up & then off to surgery we went. The next thing I remember was waking up in the recovery area and she came over and said everything went great I will look natural and they were able to get 2.8 liters of fat from the lipo. This was great because with the ba I think it was a limit of only 1 liter. Went back to the Airbnb (which I highly recommend if you are able to have someone with you or one of the nurses that come to you. IDK about you but I like privacy when I am in pain, looking crazy, with my butt on the air) and passed out- had my follow up the next day. Dr Stover got held up in surgery at the other center she works in so her assistant (also an MD) came and checked me out to make sure all was well, gave me direction on how to care for myself in this early part of recovery & make sure my pain meds were adequate(they were) a week later was my last post op and Dr Stover was very happy with my results. I was swolen, bruised (that was scary looking for sure! Like someone caugh me down a dark alley with a bat bad lol), & tender but my stomach was flat and my back was smooth - my butt was huge and I was a little panicky but she assured me it would go down. Answered allllll my questions (yes the lumps and bumps will go away- they did. Yes my butt will drop lower & get soft - it did. And so on.) She gave me a new Rx to get filled to take home with me & a letter for the airport in case I wanted assistance (I didn’t - I was ok but there were clearly other girls getting on my flight who also had a bbl & they were brought over in wheelchairs so if I needed/wanted that it was available) and her direct cell number. She even followed up later that evening to make sure I made it home ok, was feeling good. What doctor you know does that?! Anyway I am now 2 months post op and I am in love with my results. Still a little tender, numb on places and a little bit swolen so I know it will keep improving too. It’s everything I wanted. Natural but definitely so much more defined. I wish I had gotten a little lipo on my thighs but it wasn’t a focus at the time. She even asked about them but I was like no... I like my thick thighs let’s leave those alone lol. Still my results are amazing - I highly recommend her as long as you have realistic expectations & lean more towards natural results. She is good at what she does and has a passion for it which shows in the quality of her work.
