Lipo with a tummy tuck
From what I read and research if you get a tummy tuck and lipo most surgeons will lipo the flanks, hips and other areas but not the abdomen itself because 1. Blood supply injury and 2. Recovery time so Dr.mallol is not wrong for not doing lipo on the abdomen with a tummy tuck but he should however inform his patients that even though it shows in the quote lipo in the abdomen it will not be performed with a full tummy tuck. Now they say if you get a mini tummy tuck you can get lipo in the upper abdomen. And yes there is some surgeons that can do a full tummy tuck with lipo in the upper abdomen but that's very risky and they have to use caution when doing it. Me personally I think I should have just gotten lipo and bbl without a tummy tuck because yes I did have extra skin but it wasn't a lot and I went to a surgeon locally in the beginning of my research phase and he told me I might need a tummy tuck might not but that would depend on how my skin retracts back he doesn't do tummy tucks and bbls together so who knows maybe I would have had a little extra skin after but my tummy would be flat. But overall I learned to love myself I'm not going for a round 2 ill just lose the rest naturally because I'm so done with this recovery process and all the complications that have come with it I'm very blessed it wasn't life threatening or an infection that some of these women have been unfortunately through. Surgery comes with risks no matter what and I'm not willing to put my self or my family through that again. Anyways I wish all of you the best in your journeys and recoverys.
Upset
Either my seroma in my stomach has encapsulated (harden) or its gone and now I just have a bulged out stomach but I'm thinking my seroma has harden because today I tried to drain myself and nothing came out no fluid and when I press down it doesn't make that waterbed wave anymore I'm pretty pissed off because I had my last appointment on Friday everything is fine my back stopped leaking and the incision is closing he said I'm fine the seroma is just going to take time to go away and I really don't have to see him anymore because he doesn't want to keep charging me (my insurance only covers 2 visits to a specialist) luckily I did make an appointment for this upcoming Friday just to be to have one more follow up. Now when I start to feeling good and back to myself this comes up it seems like I can never have it good without some flaw I'm really hoping it will just go away and I don't have to have surgery to remove it and I do wear my faja everyday I have it off in the pictures because I'm washing it right now

He was very reassuring and communicative, he getting really busy so he has not been responding as fast as he was when we first interacted. But that understandable I did my research and followed a lot of other dolls and I feel he's the one for me. I will add more once I get my surgeries done so far, its going great.
