The arrow on this pic is pointing out the blister I caused from using a different tape other than the paper tape he gave me. Although the tape wasn't a real harsh tape, due to the skin being super sensitive after surg when I pulled it off this developed soon after. So please try to use paper tape only

With the tt? Completely satisfied but with the bbl? Let's just say I'm going for round two. I believe he put it more so in my hips than my buttocks

Yes I was asking about the BBL. I'm considering him also. Do you know how many cc's he put in?

No not sure but I did however tell him I wanted a natural look n yet he gave me the barely there look. Best thing is to tell him u want it big. He is overall a good surgeon I just believe we had different views of natural

Ok, do you think Dr. C would have given you a better result? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just so nervous.

Also are you going back to him for round 2?
User Avatar

Yes because I honestly do. He has some pics in the office that are a lil dated but they have pretty good results. I was just so afraid of him giving me too much I guess. And no I'm going to Dr. Alvarez in Miami this time around

Do you have any updated pics? Dr Cochran was supposed to perform my procedure, but since he is deceased I decided to let Dr Pagadala perform it. I am so nervous...my sx is next Wednesday. Any advice???

Pic of P/O day 4 b/a

User Avatar

So unfortunately I didn't have any 'fully naked' pre op pics in this phone so I had to screenshot the b/a. I still have a lot of swelling which is expected. I had a total of three drainage tubes, 2 of them are still in and on p/o day 3 he pulled a small one out the back that had no bulb to collect the fluid ( very minimal drainage). I did have the fat transfer which explains the the back drain. I am barely draining in my front tubes so hopefully they come out Monday. I am satisfied so far with the tummy tuck and awaiting final results on the bbl. I definitely wanted something more on the natural side but I'm a bit concerned if it's enough. I can tell a small difference but as I said I will give it time.

Thanks! I'm feeling much better now, ready to take this drains out of course lol. I think he might have to revise the bbl and back rolls cause I don't really see a difference there. How have you been? Oan where did u get the compression garment? The one I ordered was way too small
May 5, 2016
Which one did u order? I have 3 fajas already so my co-worker is taking them in for me. They are so expensive *sigh* I don't sleep in a garment at night tho, Im trying to ween myself off of them

A garment I found on Amazon sold by Caribbean shape for like $83. I seen so many kinds I wasn't sure which one to go with
July 24, 2017
I'm having the same procedures as you, and I'm traveling from NC. Where did you rent the powered recliner? And how many days did you stay in the hotel before going back home? Also, how did you sleep?

I rented a power lift recliner that helps out a ton especially when getting up and down. I'm definitely using the restroom a lot which is a good sign for the swelling in all. No bm but I do have an enema as backup because according to post op papers you should have one in 24 or 48hours. Anyway here is a pic day 1 with bandages. My sister wouldn't take the backside pic she wants me to rest n worry bout taking pics later lol. So strict but I love her
