30 Years Old, Petite, Stubborn Belly Fat

My entire life, since I was a child, I've carried my fat in my mid section. Picture tire around the waist / love handles. I'm 5'2, 115lbs, with scrawny arms/legs and a flat butt. So finally, I've made the decision to do the BBL procedure
I've booked my surgery with Dr. Truong in Chicago for June 13th. I'm not going to lie, while I am super comfortable with him and his skills, I am VERY nervous about not being able to sit for 6+ weeks and the incisions. How come no one talks about the incisions on RS? I'm very curious to see how they heal. The recovery also has me quite nervous as well. Does anyone have any tips that worked well for them?
I've made the decision to do this surgery privately - meaning I am not telling my roommate, friends or family about it. I'm sure they will notice a change in my body gradually, but I'm really hoping it's not noticeable that I've had surgery since I don't have a lot of fat to lose or to transfer to my buttocks.
I will post before/after pics the day following my surgery! In the mean time, here are my "Wish Pics"!

The more I sit (literally) and think about the BBL procedure, the more it becomes clear to me the downtime will be very hard while trying to hide from family/friends.

I've also been thinking a lot about how if I choose BBL over SmartLipo and then lose weight, I'll likely lose that BBL fat transfer.

Originally I had looked into SmartLipo, as my mid-section is what I struggle with. I got a little derailed with the idea of more of a butt but having time to think it over has lead me to the decision of SmartLipo. I'm going the Dr. tomorrow to sign new paperwork!

Today was the day!! I walked into Dr. Truong's office and was greeted by his amazing staff. I was brought into the prep room where I undressed, met with the anesthesiologist (who made me feel incredibly safe and comfortable with the "twilight anesthetic" procedure), then met with the Dr for the markings and any last questions. Just a few moments later I was brought into the OR where I was sterilized and quickly sedated. After being asked why music I'd like to listen to, I remember NOTHING. 2 hours later I woke up, walked with the nurse (Katie) into the recovery room where I was given some food and water and time to let the drugs wear off. I soon realized I already had my compression garment on - SCORE!

Maria, one of the staff members, drove me home and stayed with me for 3 hours (she's the best!!). During that time she changed my dressings *multiple* times. My drainage was A LOT and i was so tender there was no way I could have done it myself. She also helped me to use the bathroom (number one). I was curious as to why I had to go so often, then she reminded me of the fluids I was given post op IV.

I did end up taking the pain meds because the three incision sites on my bikini line are VERY sore. But soon after it lessened and then I was able to do normal things like emptying the dishwasher, doing a load of laundry, etc. I noticed the more I am up on my feet the more I drain. Which is fine with me! Beware, it's blood red in color so prepare yourself to remove white sheets, bath mats, etc.

Maria says tomorrow will be worse as far as pain and swelling but the draining should subside soon. She gave me her personal cell phone number in case I need her assistant again.

I'm going to switch garments for an hour tomorrow so I can wash the one I was sent home in. You won't believe how much of that drainage will get on it!

As far as the results.. it's hard to tell. I haven't seen myself out of the garment yet and the swelling is like something I've never seen before. I do know I had 1800 cc's removed (almost 2 liters). That's quite a lot for someone of my build!

I'll add photos as soon as the drainage stops.
