27 Year Old Getting Bbl! So Nervous/excited

Hi guys!! So I’m almost 4 weeks post op. 24 days exactly. I’m feeling a ton better but the recovery is seriously very long! I think everyday how I can’t wait to just be fully healed. I can’t stress enough about NOT sitting or laying on your butt, drinking lots of water and wearing your compression garment. The second phase garment was supposed to be put on within like five days or so, but it was very painful still for me so I didn’t end up switching until about 10 days post op. At first it was so tight, it was a little hard to breathe but now I’m on the last hook and need it to be taken in. I started getting a lot of bumps and indents recently which is common and I can’t tell you how important it is to keep getting not only lymphatic massages but ALSO the laser therapy that they have post lipo. It’s made a huge difference!! It softens up the indents and promotes healing. Cavitation lipo is similar but wasn’t as good in my opinion. I’m looking into getting Elixir on my tummy which helps with skin tightening. I wasn’t really expecting to pay so much after this procedure but you do what you gotta do. I went out for the first time on Saturday night and didn’t wear my garment so I bloated back up a little. Measuring yourself also helps because sometimes I’ll think “did my butt get smaller?” I measure and nope, it’s still 42”. Lol Anyway ask any questions that you think of. Much love! ????

So I just got my surgery done yesterday. Wow. Very intense and extremely painful. I would opt for general if I were to ever do it again. Cant write a lot right now, but I’m loving m results so far. Will be posting one day post op pics soon. I’m about to go for post op and massage. Sleeping is tough because it hurts my lower back. I’m drinking a lot of fluids and trying to walk a fair amount.

Okay, so it finally over. I went to Dr Velilla yesterday morning and got it done under local anesthetic. I got to the office and was instructed to take two Vicodin and one 2mg Lorazepam. All my worries went away. I got onto the surgery bed and was given something through my IV. I felt them working on my stomach and back but no real pain just uncomfortable. So fast forward and I wake up on the same bed with my nurse sitting by me but no one working on me. I was still loopy but couldn’t get comfortable. She said they haven’t done your butt yet because they are waiting for the anesthesia to kick in. It felt like forever that I was waiting. As soon as they started on my butt, it was pure torture. I mean that whole heartedly. I couldn’t slow my breathing because of the pain, I was bawling my eyes out. I’ve always thought I’ve had a high pain tolerance but there was no fighting this. It was excruciating. The nurse sitting by my head was very sweet and was rubbing my hand and helping me to breathe. Local anesthesia is different for everyone. I’m not sure why it was fine with my mid section but not my butt. Coming home was fine but once I woke back up a couple hours later, I was shivering and nauseous. It was awful. I woke up around 1230am feeling better though. I walked around, drank pineapple juice etc. Thank god Ive had my boyfriend to be amazing to me. Today is better. I’m sore and I’m draining all over the place but still so much better than yesterday. I’m posting my embarrassing before pics and posting my after pics in like an hour. I’m happy with the results so far. Going to my post op and massage in an hour. Xo
