To first read part 1 of my BBL journey, please...
Talking funny cuz I'm using my phone and I don't like to type a lot on here.
I was able to sleep on my stomach today with carefully positioned pillows. I put two flattish pillows under my stomach, left a gap where my boobs are, and then used two pillows for my head and shoulders. I felt fine and actually slept ok. I'm not a stomach sleeper so it still took some getting use to.
My waist is going down
Preop: 29.5
Post op: 35
Today: 30.25
I have to Wear folded towels in the back of my garment so that I don't get deep creases on my lower back.
WHAT IS THIS board ppl are talking about that keeps everything flat??
Also, if you get a BA, please remember that you MUST do 'boob exercises' for life to prevent capsular contracture. If that happens you'll end up with a hard unmoveable boob. Look it up online, there are a lot of diagrams.
I just bought a group on package of 5 Swedish massages (50minutes) for 150ish. Tryna get an appointment today to help soften up these hard spots.
Gotta start eating healthy and minimizing the salt intake if I want to maximize my results.
Things I DID NOT use on my list;
- spray bottle
- ace bandages ( but I did buy the bra with the compression band, Dr. Yily first used Ace bandages but they were uncomfortable)
- neosporin
- underwear
( I did wear underwear for 3 days while I was draining a bit but I had to cut the crotch out so that I could still pee with the garment on. I used the boy shorts to keep the gauze in place that was covering a draining spot on my lower back)
- Benadryl ( I wasn't that itchy but another girl was)
- colace stool softener ( the antibiotics made me poop no problem)
- night gowns/ pajamas ( I slept in the CG with a shirt under it and I walked around the recovery house like that on some days too. But that will depend on how many girls are there n if ur cool or not, lol... )
- pain meds ... I didnt pack pain meds, but I packed other meds both IV and PO and the airport didn't bother me.
( if you already have a hard time sleeping and you ALREADY take sleep aid meds then I would bring those. DO NOT go out and get a new script for ambien and then end up having a bad psycho reaction to it at the recovery house esp cuz the workers don't speak much English )
- I didn't pack it but u don't need towels or wash cloths
What I DID NEED and was glad I packed
- Disposable chucks!! They r good for everything. Cipla had chucks and I had to vommit in it, I used it as a barrier in my garment when I was draining a bit so it wouldn't get dirty, if Dr Yily drains you u can put it on the bed, first couple days I always had it on the bed, and u can bring it to the spa too, oh and as a bib if u want to eat but don't wanna sit up straight or on ur butt, lol. I LOVE CHUCKS!
- baby wipes. But by day three u should be able to get a good wash up standing in the tub with help. Anna or Ingrid will boil hot water for you.
DR ( most of DR).... Does NOT have running hot water. Neither does most small islands. But the boiled water mixed with the cool was just fine. My wash ups were short b/c I would get faint.
Yay so part 2 is working!! Apparently I went over...
I'll be back later with some more updated pics and I'll move my old pics here too. My back is so smooth now, my waist is smaller and stomach definitely more flat!!
Just lost my post so i'll make this quick. I'm...
I'm feeling better.. the fatigue is almost gone. I have almost no soreness during the day, but at night my back and butt gets sore and stiff.
Butt: I post before and afters.. i have other pics on my part one review. as you can see i started with NOASSATALL so I think Yily really did add a lot of cc's. If i go back for my arms i would add just a bit by my butt crack to get a more rounded look there.. right now when its looked at dead on its a tad flattish. I might have flattened it out right after post op cuz i laid on my butt a lot. Still happy. Now it is softer and i think it fluffed out a bit.
Abdomen: Getting smaller and smaller everyday. I still have hard spots and some unevenness but this is normal after lipo for a couple months. Massaging and compression will help. I bought a personal massager for days that i dont go to the spa and i use baby oil, cocoa butter, and ultrasound gel to move it around. It hurts, but it works!! I have almost no fat on my ribs and my bottom belly i can barely pinch now. I can feel my hip bones easily so i think i got max lipo done in these areas. Very happy.
I bought a new compression garment in XS!! thats the size Dr. Yily wanted me in at the end. It is waayy too tight now... it took 3 people to get me into it at the store and took me a loonng time to get myself into it (sweat, grunting, cursing!!). Its so tight it feels like its squeezing my organs and i cant eat in it or sit down. For now I will wear it a few hours a day cuz it does WONDERS for the swelling and maybe it'll help me shape me. I think if i lose 5lbs it'll be my size.. or at least i can breathe with it on!! It has removable straps and is braless so i can wear it with much more types of shirts. Cost $130,.. Worth: Every single Penny! Its the same brand as the one Dr. Yily put on me in DR. Fajate/Faja D'Prada. The store owner says its better than Salome. I think so too.
One of you lovely ladies told me about the faja store: Jeans Levanta Cola, 1264 St. Nicholas Ave, NY, NY
OTHER INFO:
Link to great post care breast augmentation site. It has short videos and explanations for the breast exercises. VERY IMPORTANT. http://www.drmichaelbogdan.com/plastic-surgery/breast-implant-exercises.cfm In my pic i am wearing the breast strap wrong.

These are just sites I found online and most sites say the same thing. Always make sure to do what Dr. Yily says to do if she says something different. :)
Provider Review
Researching online, from real self posts. will continue to verify all the board certifications Dr Yily and dr Robles are verified plastic surgeons on SOCIPRE. I ended up going with Dr. Yily and I am happy with my decision and results. She listened to what I wanted, and gave me her honest opinion of what she could do for me. She delivered!! The aftercare was great. She made house calls at the recovery house that I was staying at so there was no wait time in an office or the pain of having to go there. (very happily surprised by this). She encouraged me to ask a lot of questions and remained available even after I left the country. When I got nutty and nervous post op she firmly (lol) reassured me that what I was going through was normal.., she didn't baby me but never appeared annoyed. I would go back to Dr. Yily in a heart beat if I was ever interested in another surgery. The only reason I put 4 stars for aftercare was because I didn't get specific instructions in what I could and could not do after breast augmentation ( I didnt ask either). I googled it, problem solved.
