I've wanted fuller breast and a smaller waist for quite some time. So I chose to undergo a BA and lipo of the abdomen, midsection and flanks. I'm 4 days post op and I'm unsure if I made a good decision with getting the lipo. I dislike how I feel and look and it's becoming difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know it's early, but I'm wishing I could undo lipo. My hip is numb and feels achy all at once; I swear I can feel the pockets where my skin was detached from the fat/muscle and I hate wearing this compression band 24-7. My post-op is tomorrow morning and I'm wondering if I just have the blues. Any advice is welcome.

Trust me it will pass. I'm 8 weeks post op and my skin still hurts. I went from ache, to feeling like it was tearing or ripping, to burning itching, to now this constant tingle but IT'S ALL NORMAL. I feel more determine to get back to my normal me everyday and the changes in my skin let me know my body is trying to get it back. I did lymphatic massage which helped a lot. Stay strong you will be happy in the end.

OMG! I had liposuction a month ago and I feel the same way. My mother asked if.I could do it again would I, I said.NO. They don't tell you about the nerve pain during the healing process.

The crazy thing is, I only wish I had gotten a BBL while I was at it lol. I've had to keep myself from contemplating Round 2. Smh. I'm starting to see results and regain feeling in the surgery areas. I hope you start to feel better as well my dear!

How are you feeling?

Hey!
I still feel very tight but much better and a bit less sad about the lipo. As for the BA, I'm almost wishing I had gone bigger (450-500 cc, I went 415), but I'm hoping I will be pleased once all is settled. I will post an update with pics sometime today. :)

So it has been exactly 10 days since my surgery. In this time I've had a post-op appointment to remove the steri-strips on my incisions (Day 5) and was told I can wear other soft sports bras and a different compression garment for my abdomen. I found a latex body shaped but it was so hard to get into that frankly I gave up. I also purchased and abdominal compression board which WORKS MIRACLES. I put on my medical compression wrap and then slide the board down the front of my abdomen at night mostly. Laying on my back the board helps to decrease the swelling a lot. I've been really impressed.
Did anyone who had lipo of the abdomen have trouble with standing up straight? I'm finding that I'm always slightly hunched over. Not too much, but enough to be noticeable. When I stand up straight I feel strain up and down my sides and abdomen.
My breasts are feeling great. Incision is still flat. Which is good because I have a history of keloids. In fact, Dr. Davison removed one the size of a pea from a belly button ring when performing the lipo. So I'm overly conscious about scars. I was told to rub the scars 2x a day with Aquaphor Healing Ointment. This has been keeping them soft. I'm not sure if they've dropped a lot. Maybe you all can tell.
I'm having a bit of boob greed. I'm worried I may not have gone big enough with the 415 cc HP silicone Naturelle implant. Maybe 450 or even 485 to get what I wanted - which is a really full and soft looking end result.
My skin is naturally VERY tight and I'm worried that this will slow my stretching and dropping process. Does anyone have any insight into that? Anyway a few pics attached. Sorry I was sitting in the bed with my compression wrap still on. I'll try to take more and add later.

Your breasts are a great size. If you went bigger they would look fake.

Yes! I've had lipo & walking slightly hunched is part of the healing. You are def. not alone. In time u will be able to stand effect. Also if u suffer from keloids u might wanna pick up some collagen (powder or liquid) I found mine in TJmaxx (health section) but u can find it in any hlth food shop. Maybe even try Amazon they have a large variety of products. Note; I've read black women often suffer from keloid skin becuz we lack collagen; which is produced in the body but is sometimes lacked in the healing of black women. Hope this helps. You look awesome.

Thanks so much for the advice! I'm going to look on Amazon for collagen today. I took a look at your story and followed. You look great! Congratulations :)
I do like Dr. Davison's staff, who I'm sure you know, you will see more than the man himself most times; but that's not off-putting for me.
Anyway, I hope you love your results and best of luck in your road to recovery!
Thanks for responding :)
The ripping you are feeling, is this related to the lift? Did you have a lollipop lift? I certainly hope there is no such thing occurring with your procedure. That would be terrible.
What initially drew me to Dr. Davison was that I didn't feel pressured or patronized by him. He seemed very pressure free which was great before surgery; probably a bit less awesome when you're post op and feeling in need of attention and nurturing, you know? So I feel your pain!
