BBL with Dr. Dowbak

domlynn
$4,500
I had a bbl at Spectrum Aesthetics on October 31, 2017 performed by Dr. Dowbak. What a sweet person. I'm 5'4 191 lbs, 30 years old married with 2 kids ages 12 & 6. After having a hysterectomy 3 years ago and all the side effects like weight gain due to hormonal issues, I have two major areas when it comes to fat; my stomach and back rolls. So I did not have the expectations that I would not have any back rolls or a flat stomach after this procedure, being that the max is 4 liters. After the procedure I stayed a night at the Dolls Recovery House. The Dolls Recovery House has a driver the driver came to pick me up from Spectrum then the diver stoped at the pharmacy to pick up my medicine. I was sore, however I was able to go to the restroom on my own had to basically stand. I had a ton of drainage after surgery. I had to keep the garment on for the 1st 24 hrs. The food at the Dolls Recovery was great. Day 1 the Dolls Recovery took me and the other ladies to our appointments. At Spectrum the massage therapist helped me to remove my garment so I could get a lymphatic massage. I would be lying if I said it didn't hurt. It Hurt! It was very uncomfortable but, it was for my good. After that I was able to return back to my hotel room with my husband and take a shower. After the massage I hardly didn't drain any. Day 2 I was still a little stiff and in pain here and there but I had a second massage one but it was some of ultrasound massage. I did not hurt at all. I went back to work on November 6......I'm now 10 days post op. I'm slightly sore here and there. I only sleep on my stomach which I was advised to do for the next 3 weeks. My butt is still firm. My stomach is still sensitive and a little swollen and so is my back. I still have back rolls but they're not as bad as they were before the surgery. I was not expecting a flat stomach after this procedure because I knew I really needed to get a tummy tuck. Dr. Dowbak confirmed during the consultation that in about six months Could get a tummy tuck. I will post pictures when I get off work.

Hello there, I hope you are feeling better as the days pass by. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of work do you do? Like is it more physical or a desk job? I'm much interested in going with Dr. Dowbak as well, I have a desk job & I'm unsure how long I should take off from work.Happy healing to you!

Hi, I have a desk job as well. If i could have taken of an extra week and just rested this week I would have. So if you are able to take off your 1st week I recommend you do. Being that I have my own private office I was able to kneel on my knees and put my keyboard in my chair. Lol

My Stomach Feels Hard

domlynn
I wear my garment everyday. I have been numb since the surgery. However yesterday I discovered I can now feel my stomach. It is hard I wonder if it will ever go away.. so I went to the grocery store today and I did not wear my garment just something normal panties leggings and top. I get home and I have a serious indentation from my panties and leggings smh. Is my body retaining fluid???

Have you been doing your massages? The lymphatic drainage massage helps that hardness go away, you need to get at least 3 massages a week...

Garment Size

domlynn
After surgery Dr. Dowbak and his team put a size 1x garment on me. Now being in pain and extremely sore, I felt like it was just too tight day 2 after surgery. So I got a size 2x, I have been wearing the 2x until today. I was putting the 2x on a little too easy the past week plus I seem to be swollen still it wasn't compressing anything. This morning I switched back to the 1x. I put it on by myself without any problems.
