Fluid Issues

WORTH IT$16,500
OK so i had my drain in for a week and i didnt know that the tube inside me wasnt long enough to go all the way to the right side of my stomach so when we saw that it was done draining we removed in on Sunday june 5 because I had shown my nurse olga pictures of what my bulb and tube looked like well I didnt know that a sort of wall had formed from where the tip of the drain was to the exit site so last night when i went to take a shower i felt a small pocket of fluid on my lower right side of my belly button and olga advised me that i should keep the garment on for 2 more days and see what happens and then try to contact plastic surgeons that can either drain the fluid or insert another drain but another thing is that we werent told that i was suppose to massage my lower stomach. So now i have email my doctor here in dallas to see if she can refer me to a surgeon at parkland hospital and if i cant get a soon enough appointment then I will see about this surgeon that I found today that may be able to insert a drain since he also does the brazilian butt lift procedure; then if thats not possible then we may have to get a quick round trip ticket back to california to have another drain put in and then hurry up and fly back to dallas.

He is amazing i called this morning(August 21,2014) and i had sent in a consultation request and the woman i spoke to told Dr Hughes about me and he started emailing me and he is good about getting back to you and then i spoke with the patient coordinator Adam and he told me my surgery amount which is $18,000 and i just put in $1000 and then Dr Hughes took off $1000 for combining procedures so now its down to $16,000. They were all very nice and informative and supportive. Dr Hughes is very thorough and informative and honest. He wanted me to get all my surgeries done at one time and i liked that also i know he will get every ounce of fat out of you that he can for the brazilian butt lift and I also plan on having a breast augmentation. For that price im pretty content with it seeing as its alot of surgery to be done. He is very understanding and is very confident in getting you your results.

You need to do massages in areas of lipo and try drinking a lot of water and stuff with antioxidant it helps with inflammation and swelling. You will literally pee out the fluids you're retaining.
How are things going? Haven't heard any updates lately. Would love to see photo updates

Drop and Fluff

How long will it take for my butt to do the drop and fluff thing?? because I wanted projection but I'm wondering if due to the swelling in my stomach area that i'm not seeing it yet also the middle section of my but is still hard with fat so I know I have to wait until that softens up but I really wanted projection so I'm worried about the drop and fluff thing.

2500cc in each cheek is alot!! you should have a big butt!! Do you have recent pics!?
Have you been wearing your garment 24/7?
Yes i have except for when my mom washes it. we removed my drain on sunday june 5 but it wasnt long enough to reach to the other side so on my right side of my belly button theres a small pocket of fluid.
AHHHH.. Did he recommend lymphatic massages? That might help with the fluid build up...good luck and please post pics soon!
Lucky you!!! 2500 eAch cheek I only got 900each :( remember we have A LOT of swelling from lipo and bbl. One of my cheeks is softening quicker than the other but my booty keeps shrinking :( u think u don't have projection? TRUST me you do lol just give your body time girl :-*
Yes both of mine seem to be softening quickly and I know I still have some fat in there because I feel it when I squeeze around on my butt.....Dr Hughes said it'll be 3 months for my butt to show how it's going to be but my nurse said it'll be 8 months for all the swelling to go away.

Dr hughes got 5000 cc from me and transferred 2500 into each butt cheek and for my breast implants they are 480 cc on both moderate profile natrelle under the muscle through transumbilical. I forgot to start doing measurements so I wont even start now but thats what he has done for me.
