I'm a salon mgr &stylist, i returned back to work slowly, 1 client per day, i worked 40 hrs. After being off for 11 days, my days were long, if course veing on my feet throughout the day i felt swollen, when i arrived home my feet were elevated for the rest of the night. Things have been perfect.
I had one drain removed ,the second will be removed at 3 weeks.
Some complain i hear about the drains but they are simple, and not a bother, ive been wearing dresses to work so it just looks like i have something in my pockets .

The staff is wonderful, of course Dr. Shieh,
Melissa, Tiffany, Joelle. I do not regret this for one second.Best thing i could have done for myself. Can't wait till 6 months for results.
I thought that i bruised, but i did not at all, the purpleish i see across my incision is only Glue. Whoot! Whoot!
Thank you Dr. Shieh!
