How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Week 7
I think it's week 7 or 6.
The seroma is pretty persistent. Interventional radiologist placed a drain about 3 weeks ago. I tripped and accidentally ripped it out, so they placed another on 04/16/2014. There's no infection or pain, jsut discomfort. I am draining about 60 cc's per day. If the draining hasn't stopped or gone to less than 20 cc's per day, they are going to try alcohol ablation.
This part of my experience is mostly a nuisance. I guess it could be worse.

16 Days post OP
I've been focused on my TT all this time and forgot about my BBL.
Sigh, as the swelling is subsiding, I'ts looking more and more like the BBL didn't take. I always had a butt on top but was flat on the bottom, so I emphasized I needed fat on the bottom. Well, it's still flat on the bottom. I don't want to do a round 2. I guess I've lived with a semi flat butt for this long, I might as well finish out the rest of my days with it.

I arrive at the hospital at 11:00 am to be admitted for "Same Day Surgery". I get all undressed, put the gown on and then the surgeon walks in and asks why is he installing a drain.
I explain I had SX abroad and have fluid in my tummy, he orders an ultrasound since my doc only wrote an order for a drain but didn't specify where to put it.
The ultrasound shows a pocket of fluid, no infection. The surgeon decides that I don't need a drain. He's not even sure why the other doctor ordered it. He inserts a tube/syringe in my abdomen and aspirated the fluid. PROBLEM SOLVED.
We had a lengthy conversation about surgery abroad and he stated, it's your choice and everything seems to be fine outside of your abdomen. No anesthesia given and best of all, I don't have to follow up with my doctor.
I am posting a post aspiration pic. I am still swollen but it looks way better than it did this morning.
