3 months..itching like crazy when does it stop??
Happy new year Everyone! I been slacking on the wearing the waist shaper...its just so damn itchy! I'm going thru the itching stage like for real my sides and back itch like crazy almost everyday and the garment makes it 10x worst. Reading others stories I was like it can't be that bad, but no the itch is real. What products are you ladies using for itching ??
Being realistic about your results!
So I have decided to share some insight about realistic wishes:
1.The first thing to remember is that there are fat removal limits in most states in a medical facility vs. getting procedure done in a full blown hospital. the removal limit in Florida is 4Liters and the removal limit in Georgia is 5Liters in a medical facility; however if the procedure was performed in a hospital the fat removal limits can be anywhere from 7-10 Liters. With that being said you can't have wish pics of nicki Minaj when your already far from that and haven't considered your Pre-Op height, weight, and the fat removal limits. I personally could have lost 5-7 pounds before my procedure so that I could have gotten all of my requested areas of lipo done. I appreciate Dr. j telling me Realistically he will not be able to get my back bra roll, upper back, inner thighs. He could just tell that my stomach and flanks alone would be close to 5L. So asked me which is least important to me just in case one needs to be left off. And then told me the bra roll was the most important to get the shape I want.
2. Smoking, drinking alcohol, vitamins, and water!
I don't smoke cigarettes but I do smoke weed! And i didn't stop until 2 weeks before my procedure and honestly started back 2 weeks after. However I loaded up on water and vitamins. I didnt have my first drink until 5weeks. I really feel this played a role in my great results as well. I'm so grateful to have a smooth procedure, recovery, and results. I'm most thankful for no complications or infections. So to minimize your problems and maximize your results some bad habits have to go.
3. Choosing the right Dr.
What I was looking for in a dr. Was consistency with results. Every single patient does not come out happy with their results or look dramatically different post-op, but if you have done extensive research like your suppose 2 and have seen majority success, consider that Doctor. I feel each dr. Has a certain "style" of work. Find one that has that relation to your wish pics. Some dr.'s deal with more petite females on the regular and create heart shaped often with them, some dr.'s don't really know how to give ethic girls that drastic hourglass shape we look for, they operate very mild. So do lots of research. You will just feel that he is the dr.! I honestly thought about changing from Dr. j to Dr Osak but I sat and weighed the pro's n con's of the post- op pics, the facility, being in Miami vs. Atlanta. Something in my gut just told me to keep pushing with the plan of Dr. j, don't want to regret changing because I was mesmerizing about the big shelf booties I saw from dr. Osak and half the cost. Choose wisely.
4. Taking dr. Recommendations
Getting the extra areas of lipo are so important to contouring. See what your dr. Recommends so that you are close to your wishes. Don't half ass trying be cheap because you will be disappointed. Request a little more fat than what you want being that you will loose 10-30% of the fat in those first 2 weeks. Request fat in your hips. If you have none at all tell the dr. That's important to you (if it's important to you. Prior to surgery I had asymmetrical issues, my left side of my body has always been smaller than the left, love handles, butt cheeks, boobs, always been uneven. So even after the procedure with my clothes of I can still see a natural unevenness that has always been there. That is something that the dr. Should be able to fix but it doesn't always work out like that, your body will do what does.

Week 10
Feeling like the fluffing fairy came my way
I'm very happy with my results! Still trying to get rid of these scars from both the surgery and garment. The nurse gave me the ok to start sitting without my pillow periodically at 8 weeks but I just started this week only when I'm out in public. Otherwise I still use my pillows. Fluffing is definitely real! my butt is bigger and rounder compared to 3/4 weeks ago and my cuff is getting a deeper than it was before. Never thought I would say this but I feel like it's too big!! Lol I won't complain tho I know I can control it by losing or gaining weight. I also started light workouts in the pool. I haven't waist trained in almost 2 weeks. I'm struggling with finding a good shaper. I bought 2 already but they leave thick lines in my sides and back that I don't want to become permanent. ANY SUGGESTIONS??? This will be my last post. Feel free to ask me any questions and good luck to everyone!!
Provider Review
I had a great experience overall with Dr. j and his staff. I was able to see him twice Pre-Op And he saw me again at my 1-week post op appt. before I left atl. He answered all my questions, kept it real with me about what to expect. The nurses took good care of me in and out the facility. The facility is beautiful, comfortable, and very clean. My only problem trying to get responses months down the line. Took longer than it should have to speak with someone when I got home.
