Day 10 1 day after 1st Post Op Consult

Yesterday I had my follow up visit with my plastic surgeon and showed him the line/crease under my belly button. He confirmed that it was caused my wearing my compression garment and the garment causing a crease while I was sitting. He advised me to continue drinking lots of water and pineapple juice as well as continue to exercise. Also, he said to massage the line every day and by next week suggested that I get a deep tissue massage. Not much differentiation in pics.

Day 8 Update

Yesterday I called my PS because I have been worried about the crease under my belly and he told me to stop wearing my compression garment. (From day 1 I have been drinking fluids and smoothies mostly including pineapple juice to decrease swelling). Yes to stop wearing it altogether. I told him that I was following instructions and want the best results by wearing a compression garment but he said that the garment was indenting my skin and to stop wearing it before my crease worsens. So I took it off after our phone conversation and have a post op consultation in his office tomorrow. I am also concerned because my stomach seems more protruded than before and the side view looks lopsided today. I am hoping all of this gets better and my appearance takes beautiful and slim while toned shape soon. Any suggestions?

1 week Post Op

It has been 1 week since I arrived at the Surgery Center scared to go through with the surgery. As I have previously stated, despite rigorous diet and exercise these past 4 years, coupled with other health issues, I have not been able to take off 40 pounds of extra weight that seemed to have appeared out of no where one night between mid 2012-2013. Feeling quite confident in Dr. Davila's capabilities to transform my body to what it once was four years earlier, (into my slim and toned abdomen and thighs, I decided to go ahead with the liposuction surgery as a last resort to feel myself again). I had a rough weekend where my body swelled more than usual and was extremely sore but today I woke up refreshed and less sore and swollen. While i still have bruising, it is diminishing and I hope to see amazing results in the near future. I am posting pics from today-Exactly 1 week after my surgery.

Nice, listened to my concerns about previous umbilical hernia surgery. I had interviewed other physicians before deciding to have my surgery performed by Dr. Davila. The other doctors did not believe that my prior hernia distended my abdominal muscles and nor did they believe that I worked out on a regular basis. Upon meeting Dr. Davila, I kind of expected the same unprofessional treatment but was pleasantly surprised when he actually listened to what my obstacles were; previous umbilical hernia surgery, female pcos issues, and the excess fat which appeared between mid 2012 and 2013. I explained that I changed up my exercise routine, cut out milk from my diet, and tried diet supplements to get the excess weight off but nothing had worked. He said that he believes I do have a hormonal imbalance which needs to be taken care of and that he could work around the mesh in my stomach and re-construct my belly button carefully as to not have the stalk of it die. He demonstrated knowledge on that the best surgery was for my body and skin elasticity, explained that I still need to take care of my hormonal imbalance and told me that he would do his best to get my bikini body back. I already have been watching what I eat and exercising and unlike the other doctors with whom I had consultations with, he did not treat me as if I were lying. He listened to me a suggested a plan to meet my goals. I am glad I made the right choice by using Dr. Davila to perform my surgery.
