While going through the surgery process I was happy to have found this site and this community. It seemed helpful... But a few weeks ago, I found the pictures I shared on the site on google. I thought I was sharing with THIS community, not the world at large.

So, given the weak privacy settings, I won't be sharing anymore updates.

Best of luck

Based on other reviews, I think I'm going to have to get more lipo done on my abdomen. It's too early (I know, I know) but I'm progressing like other women who had revisions, so....

Those who didn't have revisions have much better results at the 2 month mark.

7 weeks. Should I get more lipo?

They say plastic surgery is addicting. Been looking through this site and those Brazilian butt lifts are starting to look very appealing... Lipo on thighs/legs...

Anyway, not super happy with my abdomens yet. I still swell up and it's really annoying now. I've been cleared to take the compression garment off. Which is great. I don't wear the high waisted spanks during the daytime anymore but I feel insecure without them on. There's still swelling so it makes me nervous or unprotected not to have some type of shape wear on.

I do wish the swelling was completely done. It's making it hard to assess whether I need more surgery or not. My stomach is lumpy. Some areas are tender and swell more than others. Ex: around belly button.

Doctor seems happy with my results but... Giving it another month...

So far so good. I've bombarded him with questions and he's answered all of them. I went back and further confirmed everything he said and found that he is consistent with what other plastic surgeons are saying and feedback on this site. I wanted to schedule my surgery after my first consult with him (had already met other surgeons), he refused. Which I like. He sent me away to think about everything we discussed. In the end, he changed my surgery plan the day of. Turns out, he made the best medical decision and went above and beyond what he had to do: Revised old scars, lippoed my thighs. New scars are beautiful, small, clean and neat. His assistant Brenda is awful though. Sweet but clueless.
