LIPO & BBL- Almonte doll

UPDATED FROM mia_vita
3 months post

new pic for you dolls

WORTH IT$4,200
Let me start with sorry for not being online as much, and thank you for checking on me and wish all of you good luck on sx. I been so busy with work lately and trying to recover at the same time, wasn't easy. But I think the worse is gone. Its been 2.5 months now since I had lipo and BBL. Im not sure if I still have swelling but looks OK to me. Again, Im not a doc but as far as I can tell I don't see any complications. I can't tell anyway if I have any fluids build up, looks fine to me..lol Im posting some pic below. I do like my waist its lot smaller and the back, (I didn't have tt just lipo) my butt is OK, it went down a lot but I still have plenty left I think so I hope it doesn't go down more, I get lots of compliments on my butt and waist. Again, I had a butt before but now is fuller and rounder. BUT...there is a but, I have a dent on the left side that I don't think the fat was evenly distributed. I don't like it. You can't tell from the pic, I'll try to have my friend take pic for me, but I know I can tell. I hope that gets even out a bit more with time cuz I don't like it. If I wear tight think pants Im afraid it will show not being even.

I like to close this journey and finish my review after having the sx 2 yrs ago. Wanted to give myself enough time to evaluate. I like Dr. Almonte and would consider going to her again, she's safe, but there are some dents on the butt and bumps on the stomach from lipo. SO, I think will be another round for me soon to fix them. I wish I did this once and not go through that pain again, but I have to now. Overall as I said im pleased, i had no infections or anything like that. I wish after care was better but nada, never heard from them after I left. Communication was good before I had the sx, after you're done, you're on your own sister! Wait times there were soo long hours and that was not cool. I was in pain from surgery couldnt even sit on chairs, but waited to be seen for hours. I was in tears waiting for a check up. Almonte is nice person too, but she needs more staff to help her out.

I also forgot to mention that my belly area is still bumpy and not all that smooth yet, hope it gets better...so, I'm being patient with that as I have no choice anyway lol I'm keeping myself busy so I don't get too paranoid about it...
Looking good to me ,the bumpy área maybe u dont get enough massage,but like I said in the pic u look perfect ,no sagging skin the I saw in a doll she was 6 months and I prayed the my skin not look like her ,
yea., no sagging so far, hope not...they tried to convince me to get tt but I said no, she said im not sure if u gonna like results, I said that's ok, no tummy tuck for me. I don't think I could handle it, and had to stay there longer for that which I couldn't anyway. How u looking? u like it so far?
For me i looking good,very natural ,like u I didn't want the tt ,no time to heal and I don't think I need anyway ,I have big belly for the baby but not lose skin, still I'm only 5 weeks I going to wait close to 3 months so said they I love the result or not
Looking great ... Happy healing Hun .
Hey Hon, are you still getting massages? If not then try to get someone to massage you on the side with the dent because it might be fluid there around the dent.
no, im not getting massages no more, but the dent is on the butt so I don't think its fluid there since she put fat in. The fluid usually is on the lipo areas thought..plus, I noticed the dent from day one of sx but kept thinking is swollen, and I don't think I would have fluid build up that first day...u know what I mean, tho is hard to know if u have fluid...how can I even tell :(
OK, I understand now. I thought the dent were on your side not butt. Maybe the fat wasn't evenly distributed in that area. Mia_vita you look amazing so if you do some butt exercise maybe that would work out the dent but you still look great mama.
thank you love...I will try the gym soon now since im better on lifting and sitting so I need to get to it. When is your sx?
My sx is Feb 20, so I know after the New Year this is when its going to kick in......LOL....and I'm going to do everything in my power to get everything together so I can do the damn thing.
Hei Baby I know it's been a while since your sz. I was curious if your dimples are fixed by now? I had myself two BBL. the first left me with a cheek larger than other. My second sz was with dr Fisher in FL. Nice guy
hi Beautiful, i was going to ask you about the lips too. I love them. My dimples are still there, one cheek is better than other i think it needs a small touch up of fat to make it even. At some point i might do it but now I have issue with thighs that I did lipo and made them uneven, kind of lumpy so I need to fix that first. A mini thigh lift will fix it. I dont want to lipo them again cause it will make it worse. I will inbox you more later to ask about the lips.
so how you like the fisher job? did he do better?
I liked him , but my booty is huge and attract lot of attention. But I wear it well. Fisher was cheaper than others and as much girls complained about their office, I knew how to deal with them and got Regal treatment.
I've got a shelf . I wish my booty was smaller. I had a hot body before, really didn't need it.
Make sure you choose the best doc to revise your lipo. It's not easy. But if you go into the revision with open heart and full trust, you'll come out happy. That's my secret. I really wish you'll find a good doc and get the desired result.
Lips result will only depend on your size of your lips. If you have a wider mouth, don't do it. It's rough recovery, but was so worth it for me. And the cheapest price ever
hi pretty lady! Im so sorry, I just checked my messages here haven't been very active with the site. Inbox me :) But yes, the dimples improved some but still....thank you so much for reaching out. You are a sweetheart!

i made it home! get wheelchair assistance!!!!

the flight back home was brutal, I had hard time sitting and my feet soo swollen like never before. I just wanted to get home safe and that's all I kept thinking. A big piece of advice traveling back home is get wheelchair please. The lines were soo long specially at customs and emmigration like 3 miles long people were sitting on floors waiting while I breezed right through all up front...I was like, this is the best thing ever. No way I could wait that long, I would have passed out...before you leave make sure the doctor gives you a letter that you had surgery and ok to travel back. They didn't ask for it at airport, but I heard sometime they do so just to make sure. otherwise you might have prob at airports or make you take off the faja. they didn't make me, I was lucky...
Anyway, I was sick and tired of being in pain and not sleeping well at all and on top of it got home sick and started getting depressed. I was glad to be home. The recovery home I stayed at called :My home: was just ok, nothing too bad but not all that good either. There were new so I guess they still trying to improve. the staff was nice though and helpful. I will probably write a detailed review later when I'm better on them and doctor. Right now I cant tell if my expectations have been meet yet since im still very swollen and lumpy.

wow! Im sooo excited to see how things worked out for you. I'm hearing alot lately about Dr. Almonte an she seems to do good work. I'm surprised duran couldnt give you what you wanted. Im sure she could have. I'm mostly interested in seeing if you got your wish picor close too it. Happy Healing Muneca!!
Welcome back home Doll. Get you some rest. I'm sure being home helps in some way with the healing process. Happy healing!!
Congrats love....Just take it easy. You will see improvements each day. I took arnica pills and used the cream for bruising and swelling.
thank you love, yes, im getting better still sore tho...some places where lipoed are getting hard and bumpy so I think I need massaging there :( but im hanging in there.
Mia u walking bending or not ,I'm have to work 16 days after sx and I not want my coworkers asking me what happened
tuchula girl, u b fine walking straight...but just sore. I had hard time sitting at my office so have to take breaks or just walk for a bit then come back. Its hard on my butt to sit al day...but im doing it, have no choice. Im walking fine tho just have to be careful dont wear very high heels so u dont slip and hurt yourself. I would tell at work u hurt your back or something at the gym so they know u sore and say u need to stand up for a while cuz it hurts when u sit...that's all. The ladies with tt had it harder cuz they had to bend more cuz of stitches....
Mia so will be ok I'm lpn and have to be walking around all day ,and my shoes they have to be flat ,no heels .u didn't get any massages in Dr because lesley said 5 free so maybe they don't give them free anymore ,I going to get some in Dr and the rest here I really need them to get my belly flat
tuchula I got massages there for free, I got 3 of them cuz then I left I only stayed a week, but u do get 5. They were painful but helpful. im trying to get massages here too now but they pricey. I had one already and felt good but I need more. Im looking for deals. I will post pic sometime today or tomorrow. I think my butt looks ok but there are couple dents that I hope they even out cuz don't like it. the dent is on one side more which makes it look no even.
Oh good I planing to get the 5 in Dr ,and 10 here my friend know one place for 30 minutes the charge $20 end the other $30 for one hour ,the price I think is good
