Hello dolls!
Oh what a roller coaster ride. Let me start by saying that your healing time is at least 3 - 6 months. This has been the hardest thing for me to wrap my head around. Patients in the US see their PS once a week for the first month and then every couple weeks for the second. I miss this. I wish I had somebody to tell me that everything is ok. I have a burn from the lipo right down the front of my belly from my belly button almost to my incision. It is healing nicely, I blame this on my need to clean it at least 3 times a day and take my daily vitamins to keep my immune system in check. I will show pictures once it is healed better. In the mean time I think it is ugly. At this point in my recovery I am really swollen. I have to watch my diet closely and stay away from salt. I drink a lot of water to keep myself hydrated. I am wearing clothes that are at least 2 sizes smaller than I was before surgery and am loving that. However, as I said above I am still swollen so I hope to go even smaller. I can't wait to get in the gym, with as hard as this surgery is i'll be damned if I don't keep it up. My back is still swollen, I love my butt...not too big and nice shape...i only hope that I keep it all :) I am not bitter about the burn, I have read that it happens often. I am thankful that I am healthy and my recovery is going very uneventful. Taking this back to the question...would I do this again?
The tummy tuck and lipo - yes, I love my results. Going out of the country - no, I really wish I had a dr here in the states to follow me and calm my nerves. You aren't out of the woods for infection for a long time and everyday is about making sure you are keeping everything as clean as possible. I have done a lot of research on what to expect this is a good post https://www.realself.com/forum/12-knew-before-surgery God Bless you all I hope you are well!

Congrats! That is great that you are already 2 sizes smaller - wow! Sorry about your burn. Yes, that will happen if you have the faja rub on you so wear the undershirt for sure. Also, an infection or a look-like burn are definitely possible due to how you lack post care - so stay on top of it. Thanks for your reply! Happy healing!!!

no not a burn from the faja, a lipo burn. It was there the morning after the sx. It is still healing, but has not been the most attractive thing. I am going to have laser resurfacing next spring to make it all go away :)

I am sure you can bring your test results to Dra. Yily, but she will still run her gamit of tests on you as well.

I would bring my EKG results from USA for comparison sake cuz I think they will still require you do have 1 by them.

Thanks for the update. I hear those burns are a B!!! But because their lipo is so aggressive, a burn is 90% possible. I love that you are seeing results are ready. 2 sizes smaller is AMAZING especially since you are still swollen. Continue to take care of yourself. HAPPY HEALING!

Hi, Your results are coming along great. Where did your tt incision place at? Very low, very wide or ? Does Dra. Yily still operate out of CIPLA? Did Dra. Yily have a faja placed on you immediately after sx? Thanks (((Hugs)))
