A 46 Years Old Mother of Three and Grandmother of Two

I have always cared about my looks. Since my body is going through menopause, my midsection has blown up and out; it seems like I gained 20 lbs over night. I am over 200lbs now and is going to have the liposuction and bbl in the morning. I have picked up my prescriptions today so to have them ready for me when I come home--the prescriptions were given to me at my pre op appt two weeks prior. Prescriptions given are a pain medication, a three day dosage of antibiotics, and a stool softener. I really want the doctor get all the fat from my midsection, flanks, and upper back area-- that's what I paid for. He will also perform a bbl to provide the hourglass shape and to give a better shape to my butt. I am so excited but nervous at the same time. This is something I wanted for a while. The procedure will be performed in the office under local anesthesia with IV sedation. I had the cool sculpturing done and it worked but since going through this transformation that came with menopause, the procedure was no good.

Everything went really well. I arrived at the office; the staff was awesome. My vitals were taken and the IV was started; Dr Dickerson came in and marked the areas and did a final consult to make sure we both were on the same page for the results. I was taken in the procedure room. I was given the sedation and the next thing I know I was helping to put my clothes on. I woke with a compression garment on as a well as a drain tube was inserted. I was sore but not unbearable. We was taken to the car where my husband was waiting. That procedure took approximately 4/12 hours. Dr Dickerson informed my husband on how welll the procedure went; he said I would definitely have a small waist and more rounded hips in which that was the look I wanted.

I was very sleepy that afternoon I took my pain meds as well as my antibiotics. I definitely needed the assistance from my husband getting to the bathroom and changing my pads on my incisions and the bed ; I had to change them every hours. I was also given two compression garments and two pillows to sit on. I laid on my stomach the whole while. I was able to get around slowly lady that night. I could definitely see my results; I am very pleased so far. I will take pictures later. Knowing that the results that I already see are not my final results gets me so excited. I will post pictures later today.

Still swollen and sore but is able to move around better. I was able to take a shower today in which I really enjoyed. Will continue to post my progress
