Its been 10 days since I had my breast lift…
Its been 10 days since I had my breast lift and liposuction. I feel great I'm back to doing normal activities like cooking cleaning I even picked up my one-year-old a couple times which I should not have. My breast is itchy because it's healing so I understand.
My legs are swollen at the moment and back is numb. I'm currently using the arnica cream to help with the bruises.

Hi, they look great, thanks for sharing. Can i ask, did you get implants in the end or just an uplift? How's the lipo looking? I have my surgery booked with Dr Ercan for July. Im having an uplift, implants and lipo on arms and thighs. Very nervous!
No implants all mine. I haven't really gotten to see the lipo yet. I still have on the bandages which I'm going to be taking off tomorrow. It's going to take time for me to see the full results but I soon as I do I will definitely update my information here so you can see as well. Why are you nervous?

Thanks hun, can't wait to see your results. I'm nervous as I've never had any type of surgery before so its a bit scary i guess xx
Oh I understand it was my first time too. But here's what I did I did research on ny doc to make sure I'm confident with him and I also did research on how I should prepare my body before surgery. My advice to you is take care of your body plan carefully so that when the day comes you are strong enough to go through it. Plus ask Dr. Ercan any questions you have that's what I did. Any questions, concerns, or advice I'm here for you.

Aww thank you hun! I came to turkey 4 weeks ago for a consultation with DR ercan and he seems lovely and very capable which was reasuring. Please updayw again when you can on how your uplift and lipo has turned out, look forward to hearing from you. Did you have laser lipo?
Oh so yours is even better knowing you had a face to face consultation. My back is so numb I can't feel anything in my lower back and flanks area. Still swollen but I'm loving the contour he gave me. He gave me regular liposuction in the belly area along with laser lipo inner and outer thigh to tightened the skin. Will be posting pics this week.

Im guessing the numbness is normal? Yes i met him so feel a bit more at ease. Im having an uplift and implants, plus laser lipo on my arms and thighs. He actually recommended a thigh lift as ive lost 56lbs in weignt and have some loose skin on my thighs but i dont want a thigh lift. I need to lose more weight by July and i wanted the lipo as no matter how much i lose my thighs are still fat!
Yes the numbness is normal and I also read that it can last up to 2 years. Scary!! I'm considering getting a tummy tuck with Dr.Ercan next year. I wish I had done it this time around instead of having to go back in but I just wanted to see how the lipo was going with my stomach. July is so far away, I know surgery must be on your mind 24/7 :)

Day of treatment
Hey ladies and gents so I made it to Turkey…
Hey ladies and gents so I made it to Turkey after my flight was delayed so many times so it was cancelled. Long story short I was able to get a flight the same day at a different Airport to make it in time for my surgery originally scheduled date.
Tip for anyone trying to come to Istanbul please get a GPS or some kind of internet on your phone because the traffic here is crazy unless you're getting a transfer somebody's picking you up. It took my husband and I like 3 hours to find a place that was a one hour away.
The people here are super nice and helpful each time my husband and I had to stop and ask for directions they were more than willing to help us. One of the guys even drew us a map. In some major language barrier if you don't speak their language are similar but you could definitely sense their willingness to help.
Okay so for the news you've been waiting for........
I had my surgery today it went well the doctor is so sweet I'm so happy I chose him I went with my heart and I followed my instinct and of course research lol. I'm currently at the hospital recovering the room is nice is like a mini Hotel the nurses are always there to help you whenever you need them. When I got back to my room I was trembling non-stop for a good hour even when the air conditioner was on warm I was still freezing. When I came back to my room I food was already here waiting for me but I don't like hospital food I don't care how good it is I just don't like it so my husband is going to get me food. They put a catheter in me which was very helpful until I sobered up and I wanted to pee couldn't. I just can't get used to not peeing without going to the bathroom so I had them take it out. So far I'm loving the way my breast looks and my sheet even though I'm all wrapped up and tied up.
I added some lazy pictures because I'm so weak to stand in the mirror right now to take pictures will update soon.

Thank you for sharing your update. I'm happy to hear that your surgery went well and that you're happy so far. Take care!
Thank you.
so happy to hear you are happy! Im wishing you a speedy recovery and fantastic results! Did the dr provide you with any details or feedback post op? x
Thank you!! Yes but I was kinda out of it so I barely heard what he said. Still in the hospital the nurses are taking care of me and Dr. Ercan is coming to see me. He did say make sure I get up and walk around for circulation that's what I remember.
aww bless you! Hope I experience all these very soon! In terms of pain wise how do you feel? xx
I feel good pain is minimal. I was walking up and down the hallway with no problem. But I keep getting major headaches but it could be associated with my period which came on the day of surgery.
woww you are amazing! My sister couldn't move for days and was in so much pain - she only had laser lipo haha! Where are you planning to stay, theres a hotel beside the hospital where we stayed was decent x
I'm staying like 7 minutes away maybe like 3 miles from hospital. The hotel is nice. Yes I'm trying to push myself. When are you coming back???
I'll be back in September hopefully! Can't wait! Message me if you need any advice during your stay lovely [RS bleep]
So excited for you! Did you end up doing the implant with the lift? Also did you do the Vader lipo or the smart lipo?
Vaser lipo, darn spell check..lol
Thank you! No implants and regular lipo with laser lipo.
Not sure if you mentioned it already but what was the total cost for all your procedures not including travel expenses? Are you still a D or did you go down a size?
I went down a size but I'm so happy I don't have any more saggy boobs. $5500
