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.

I got the pictures out of the way and now a written update...
I am now 9 months post-op and feeling much better each day. I found that somewhere around month 6 I was starting to gain weight. While the weight did not go to those areas on which I had work done. My legs were getting pretty hefty and they were not exactly sticks to begin with...I had to stop and realize that I had to continue living a healthy lifestyle and eating whatever, whenever will never work for my turtle metabolism.
So, I pulled it back and focused on cutting processed foods, meal prep on Sundays and regular workouts. The legs have gone from huge to just big now.
I still wear a waist trainer every day. It gives me a sense of comfort and helps control the swelling. I minimize my salt intake but swelling just happens. The doctor told me to expect it and he was right. Oh and I sleep in my faja most of the time.
I spent quite a bit of time at beaches and pools this summer and it was the most comfortable I have ever been in those settings. I have drawers full of bikinis now. A family member I have not seen since last year was amazed when she saw me in the bikini and argued with me as she insisted I had a BBL. I did not have a BBL but I think she believes I did to this very day. :)
Despite enjoying my new body I have found that I have become more critical of other parts of my body. I have to tell myself no one is perfect. My arms for instance, I feel like they are HUGE now. I think not having my belly and saggy boobies to focus on leaves too much time to nitpick other areas. I had a talk with myself and have decided to focus on the positive!
Oopsie, I forgot to mention my boobies. They are healing quite well. I had feeling in one nipple weeks after surgery while feeling returned to the other side after 4-5 months. I still have some numbness along the crease (under the boob).
I have been applying a product called Epitrel to my scars in order to lighten them. I purchased in Mexico but it's basically generic Retinol A. It is working as my scars are lighter. The reality is the scar will always be there and visible while naked. I am simply trying to minimize the appearance.
I think that's all. Thanks for reading!
