Hello and welcome to my body makeover journey on March 10th I'll be getting my mommy makeover with dr. David shifrin my mommy makeover includes: liposuction of my back, sides, a tummy tuck, 300cc silicone implants below the muscle and liposuction of my inner thighs.

I'm so excited and I absolutely cannot wait for my result.

Things for recovery:

Reusable bed pads
Surgical graze
Surgical tape
Hand sanitizer
Always feminine wipes

Arnicare Gel, this help with swelling and bruising

Bromelain, help with tissue repair.
Quercetin, help with inflammation

I also will be making a homemade cream for my scars as soon as I heal. I'll keep ya'll posted on that.

Good luck to any and everyone that is thinking about getting this procedure and to those in recovery.

P.S None these products was mentioned to me by my surgeon, this is all from my own research and what other people have used and suggest so please do your own research before you use any products.

I thought about going with Dr Shifrin. I heard he is really good. The only reason I didn't is because I need more reconstruction done. You should be in good hands. I keep hearing about bromelain. I think I am going to get some. Good luck on your journey.
