Quick Update - 4 Weeks Post Op & NOT Happy at ALL

Ok Ladies so I have been trying to get back into the swing of things (work/home/road etc) and believe me this recovery is slow and rough. I am officially 4 weeks post op and some days my booty looks high and huge and others it just looks normal. The itching is all too real. I find I itch mostly when I am at home and at nights but I am trying to ignore it unless it gets reaallyyy bad then I will use my Benadryl itch cream.

I had purchased a smaller size faja before leaving DR (My first stage 2 was a size 34..I purchased a size 32) but with this swelling and this heat I cant seem to bring myself to wear it. I finally put my foot down and decided I would start my size 32 next Monday and then have this one taken in a size or two smaller.

I still have not gotten any massages yet but I have been massaging myself in the shower and making sure I an extremely compressed. I guess the more compression you have the better it is so I am trying my best with the faja. Overall I guess it is still too early to say anything but I really do wish Medina had been more aggressive with her lipo and put more fat in my booty because it does not look all that big at ALL. I am trying to stay positive but its really hard considering all that has happened up to surgery. Its just hard to spend all that money and not feel like you got what you wanted ya know? And now I am actually wishing I had gotten a Tummy Tuck even though I do not have any kids and am planning to in the future but damn man! If I had gotten the TT my stomach would have been flatter and my waist wayyyy smaller than it is now. Maybe I am being greedy but at one month post op I am just NOT HAPPY with how I look. People are saying give it more time and wait until the 3 month fluffing fairy comes so I am trying to be patient. Let me know what you think about the photos dolls

Anyways happy healing and safe recovery to those who are just out of surgery and I hope ya'll are happy with your results.

From your before to your after this is a major improvement. I would give that job a 7/10, but you are only 1 month out. I feel like as time goes it will get better. I think the problem is to me is that you needed to have a tummy tuck because it would have pulled you all the way in, and your booty would have been more pronounced. The massages I heard plays a big role and would help with your abdomen. She need to stop being stingy with the booty. lol. I'm going to her in December. I just feel like she is the safest, and I don't like that exaggerated look, and overall she has done beautiful work. I think you should just go with the flow. It will get better

This makes a lot of sense, I will check her up too although I need my butt real big

When are you going
M
July 30, 2016
I have asked her for an October date around 22nd or 24th. She's yet to confirm if it's available. I am liking her work but I just wish she can go a little bigger in the butt

July 30, 2016
I agree, some ppl she is conservative and other ppl she do big

July 30, 2016
Glad there are no negative news on her so far and no deaths too, most pple says she does abt 2 operations per day and pays attention to her patients.I will push her for a big butt

July 31, 2016
I will be going on 27th Oct. She Claims that people have different bodies that's why some get big while others small

Thanks. I wish I had gotten the tummy tuck now. My last two reviews I did mention that maybe if I had gotten the Tummy Tuck I would have felt different but I dont have kids yet so that makes no sense. But Medina is not really aggressive with her lipo or her BBL's so if thats fine with you then go for her! Really wish I had done that stupid TT tho loll. I'll just have to wait until the fluffing fairy hits me to see the final results

Girll I hope u get that big butt. Cuz at this rate after I have a baby I am definitely going for a round 2. Everyone asks her for a big butt but it depends on your body type and i guess the procedure.

As for I will have a tt, bbl and lipo on back so I hope and pray all goes as I want

Im sure that because you're doing the TT ur results will be awesome because that waist will be snatched and tummy uber flat! I think her patients who do TT lipo and BBL the booty is more bigger and the body way more awesome. So I know you'll be fine

I wanted to add a breast lift but not sure if that's too many things at once if it is I'll just go back

I agree with you 100% . It's up to us to handle our big booties!

July 31, 2016
A bbl, lipo and tt combined with a ba sounds too much especially during recovery according to some patients and Dr's here or r'slf, but again some have done and have been ok with it. I think it also depends with how low the hemo level will drop and how strong one is during recovery. A r'slf official asked you if you had tested yr hemo level, how soon can one have this test?

Going Monday last year it was 12 so I know that's not gonna cut it. I need a 14

Shittt I agree! For the amount of work it took to get this money together and then the trauma after surgery I was hoping to see a ass that was worth all the pain suffering and hardships I had to go through to get here. Instead it just looks like a normal ass

I dont think she does more than 3 procedures at once I think

Exactly!! I mean getting that money together is hard work for alot of people. I just hate getting my hopes up then to be told a few hours after surgery it wont be big. like dafuq?

Best to have it tested a month or 6 weeks before your procedure. They test it right after your operation to see if u lost too much blood

August 2, 2016
I am putting myself in yr shoes and I know how frustrating it is , pls try to remain positive and once you have healed you can make up yr mind if you want another round.

You look great !!! But did you wear lipo foam, ab board or booty triangle thing lol ? I was gonna pass these 3 items up but I have read and saw pictures of the difference it made in snatching every thing in. I see home depot got foam for 5.99 LoL description online look similar I'm going to look into that because those items are costly . I have read that you should have lipo foam everywhere u get lipoed.

I got 3 lipo foams and a ab board! And yes it DOES HELP in molding the tummy and it protects your skin from the tightness of the faja. I (like an idiot) threw away one of the foams thinking I wouldnt need it and now when I got back home realized I did. SO I just made do witgh the two I got plus the ab board. Now I can think of going without them. lol

Ok SO these are the full frontals I was telling you ladies about. See what I mean when I say the booty goes up and down? Oh and ladies that gentleman there is Wander, the owner of Oasis Recovery House. The most sweetest sensitive and comedic guy you'll ever meet. I'mma post Oasis number in his photo. Also Ladies for the best massage ever I used Yaniry Rodriguez. She is on Instagram. If it wasn't for her my tummy and back would not have looked as flat and as smooth as it does now. My problem is that back here in Jamaica it is difficult to get the Lymphatic Drainage massages from someone who knows what they are doing and is inexpensive. I have not been able to get one massage since I've been back 5 days now and have to resort to trying to massage myself in the shower. Anyone else got that problem?

Ok SO below are the Post Op pics. Trust me...I looked hella good on Dra Medinas table right after surgery. Even two days after when I was lying down I took a photo and loved the lumps I saw. AS of right now those lumps have diminished into moles. lolll. I left DR July 10th and spent a whopping 14 days there. Wander at Oasis RH said I was the only girl he saw spent a full two weeks after having Liposuction and BBL. The reason I stayed that long is because I factored in anything happening to me after surgery I may need to stay longer to recover. And I'm glad I did even though almost everyone left the recovery house in the few days before I left. I got really lonely and homesick but was glad I decided to spend the two weeks. Its always good to stay a bit longer ladies in the event something serious or unplanned goes wrong after surgery, which in my case it did.

Was the RH worth it? I am wondering if I should stay at a hotel and hire a nurse and masseuse.

July 20, 2016
It was definitely worth it. They have 2 nurses that work on shifts. Whenever I needed something they would be right there helping me. For the first few days after surgery I couldnt even bend much less lift my arms and Judith and Mabel were there to help. I would definitely recommend staying there. Much cheaper than staying at a hotel

Lord girl I dont know how to answer that! I wish she had been more aggressive with the lipo and given me more booty! Some days it looks big and some days flat and smooshed. I just wished I had gone to another doctor like Duran or even Cabral. lolll. Its still in the early stages so I am trying to give the benefit of the doubt and wait until month 3 and see
