19 days post op. Had a pretty good day! Went in for my check up today. Everything looks good except for some swelling. I went online to look up scar treatments and I decided to buy Scarprin. It is 100% Silicone and the reviews I read were pretty good. They are $49.99 per bottle. Buy 2 get 1 free. Each bottle is 30ml. Bout, $105 for 3 bottles with shipping & handling. I also got my Compression Garment today. Yay!! I got the Annette garment. Feels so much better than wearing a binder. I posted some pics up. Hopefully, they will help with my swelling and smooth out my lumps. I'll keep you guys updated.

Woot Woot... Got my drains out today! I thought it would hurt alot, but it wasn't too bad. It was just a little pressure & a quick pinch and that was it. So, my PS said the hard lump should go away in a few months. In the mean time, I just need to massage it & make sure my binder doesn't have wrinkles. Apparently, my lumps are from the binder I was wearing. It had conformed to the shape of the binder. Well my swelling went down a little but I'm still swollen. Gonna see my PS in a wk. I'm so glad that my PS is so wonderful! He really takes good care of me and is top notch especially with the post op care!

Been in pain for the past two days. My drains are still in, and I'm leaking between 20-25 mL per day. I hope I'll leak less so I can get my drains out on Monday. My left and right side love handles (liposuction area) have been very painful. Looking at it, it's lumpy kind of like cellulite and it's bruised. Inside, it feels like it's raw meat and burning. I feel like it's being torched. I looked it up online and it sounds like fat necrosis. I'm praying that it's not, but it is extremely lumpy and hard to the touch. Hopefully, I'll see my PS on Monday, and he can help me figure out what's going on with this and we can fix it.

This review is for DR. Khailil. I originaly went to see Dr. Smaili for my TT, but he broke his foot the day before my surgery. So, Dr. Abdullah Khalil do my TT. Dr. Khalil is also part of The California Surgical Institute team of plastic surgeons. He is Wonderful! He made me feel comfortable, he was caring, professional, he answered all my questions, he's funny, has a great personality. Overall, by the time he was done with my consultation I knew he would be "THE Doctor" for me & I would be in good hands! I was very impressed by him. Dr. Khalil is definitely a true artist! I know he will tuck me in and suck me out and contour my body & get it as close as he can to my pre-pregnancy shape. So, thankful to have such a talented PS!!
