Hello all. I will soon be 50 years old and as a gift to myself I am having a Tummy Tuck (Upper & lower abs, back, sides and flanks) & Fat Transfer to buttocks. I have been trying to gather all of the information and tips from others that have had the surgery performed (thank you all for your wonderful advise). I am both excited and nervous. Here are a few things that I'm worried about 1) How do I determine how many cc's to have injected? I want a fuller bottom but I want it to be proportioned. 2) I've heard a lot of complaints about the pain level. 3) My doctor (Dr. Pillai/Charlotte, NC) said the surgery will last about 6 hours. I would appreciate any tips, suggestions for pre & post surgery, nutrition and general overall guidance. Again, thank you all for the wonderful posts and I will be posting & blogging along the way and sharing my experience with others as well.

IN PREPARATION - PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello ladies! I am currently trying to prepare for my upcoming surgery. Although my surgery isn't until December 2015, I want to have everything purchased and readily available. I have been on AMAZON looking at Compression Garments/FAJA. What is the best brand/kind to purchase for post-op? Should I purchase on that is thigh length, long (down to calf), with straps, w/o straps? Please HELP! I want the best garment to maximize my results (and comfort). Also, can anyone tell me if I need "foam boards"? My surgery is being done locally, not long travel time to/from surgery facility. One other question that's been on my mind. For the beautiful ladies that had TT, Lipo along with BBL, what was the most comfortable position to sleep/rest in?

Dr. Pillai is very professional. He still has a lot to learn in liposuction and the art of sculpting a beautiful body. While he knows the procedure, he does not execute it well. He is NOT aggressive in his liposuction and you WILL still have FAT on your body afterwards. He WILL NOT transfer a lot of fat to your buttocks so, if you are looking for a big, juicy booty, he is not the man to go to. He only transferred 500 cc's to my buttocks and by the time my body re-absorbed it, I'm probably left with 250 - 300 cc's which has made very little difference and is far from the results I desired. He did not lipo the areas he said he would do leaving me with still a lot of fat all over! His prices are great and very affordable as well as the financing but make sure you do not rush to decision (as I did) because of a great deal. He does have a great bed side manner and his follow-up care is great. the clinical and administrative staff are just wonderful and pleasant.
