ROUND 2 WITH DR LIMA FEBRUARY 23, 2015
Hey RS Chicas, Dolls, and Barbies,
I had my surgery on February 23, 2015 with Dr. Lima. I had TT revision, full body lipo with lipo to arms and BBL. I am satisfied with my results. My recovery is so much better this second time. It's nowhere near as painful and as uncomfortable as the first time was. I am very satisfied with the amount of fat that Dr. Lima put in my butt, however my return flight home on March 8 was 12 hours. All sitting down either on the plain or in the airport waiting on my 6 hour layover connecting flight. So, now I'm dealing with the flat middle butt. I am so hoping that as time goes on and it softens up and falls into place, that I experience that "fluff" that I have read about so many times. LOL! The disfiguration that was in my abdomen that you can see in the above pics, was an oblong piece of fibrous tissue that attached itself and was just feeding off "whatever" and growing and causing pain, heaviness, disfiguration etc. But it is now gone, and I am hopeful that as the swelling goes away, that my stomach will be flat like its supposed to be. My breast lift without implants from the first surgery is holding steady and I am completely satisfied overall with how I look. IF for some reason, I don't get a "fluffing" visit, I MAY consider A ROUND 3 BBL but, then again, I'm grateful with what I have and will probably just leave it be. I will post pics of the ugly growth that was removed and when I take a shower will post pics of what I'm working with after R2.Here are links to my second and third reviews:Second reviewThird review

CYST NOT CANCEROUS!!!
I've gotten the results from the ovarian cyst. It was normal!!! No cancer! Praise the name of Jesus!!! So, here is my decision. I'm going to go ahead with my plans to have the revision and lipo. I'm not waiting the 6 weeks. For me it's not a matter of cosmetic anymore, it's impacting my quality of life. I can only stand for certain periods of time before my back starts hurting, my abdomen becomes too large to bend over, sit comfortably from the increased pressure or swelling or whatever is happening. I just need to get this situation fixed once and for all and under control! I will update again when I am in DR! Thanks for everyone's prayers and well wishes!
GYN APPOINMENT TODAY!
Hey RS Chicas, Barbies and Dolls,
I had my gyn appointment today. She confirmed through an internal ultrasound exam that I do have about a 6cm cyst on my ovary. She said that it is mostly filled with fluid, which I have learned is a good thing. However, she said she saw something that looks like a membrane in the center and she wants to give me a blood test, (CA-125 blood test) that will measure the amount of 125 protein in my blood, which is a cancer antigen. Once that has been ruled out, which I"M 100% sure it will be, she said if I want to go ahead and do the TT revision, it would be ok to do....HOWEVER, she said it makes sense to wait about 6 weeks to see if the cyst resolves on its own so that, if it doesn't I can have the revision and the removal done altogether!!! She would be there doing her thing while the Ps was doing his.... LOL!! I laugh because in a perfect world, that would be the ideal way to handle this, but since my surgery was done abroad, I explained to her that my insurance wouldn't cover the TT, because although there is an issue that may be of a medical nature,(fat necrosis, fibrous scar tissue, excess fluid, etc.) it is still considered cosmetic sx. She then said, that I could speak to the plastic surgeon that did my original TT and see if they had a gyn that they worked with and I could have both surgeries done together down there!!!!!!!! I THINK NOT!!!!! lol!!! I'm still leaning on going and getting this done and over with, and deal with the n
So, RS, what do you think I should do, and which avenue would you take if you were in my shoes? I obviously am going to make the best decision for me, but I would really appreciate someone else's perspective. Thanks so much.
