I did a pre-op and post op vitamin that I bought from a website called helpmeheal.com and I think that helped a lot and definitely do lymphatic massage also a huge help! You can also check out my review I have a lot of different things I used as well as the address to a really nice faja store in Miami! Can't wait to follow the rest of your journey!

Thank you! I'm getting so nervous. Is that a normal feeling? I had my boobs done last year and was not as nervous as I am about this.

I was very nervous when I was going to have surgery but Dr Careaga was like what exactly are you nervous about and I told him what I was scared about and he just calmly made that all go away and I knew without a doubt he was the one!

ceddysweetie I also decided to consult Dr Careaga after reading your review because when you did your review he was still fairly new with not that many reviews and because you were so happy with your result and me being in the medical field and believing that new doctors have newer methods and still feel passionate about what they are doing and their patients and are not just doing their job I wanted to consult with him and I'm so very happy I did! Thank you for your review!

Welcome to the flat side. You will be sore for about 3 days. I'm not sure about the pain. I didnot have pain. My doctor gave me Exparel which is a Injection that last for 72 hours. Pain free. Get some rest.. You did it. Once again welcome to the flat side...speedy recovery ;)

So today was the day I made my final payment.... 12 days and counting. I was given my prescriptions as well as lab work done. I also need to start using hibiclens which is a skin cleanser and a antiseptic. I was told to use a woman's multi vitamin and to continue drinking lots of water. I use a hair, nails and skin vitamin but was told to stop using that.
