I will be a returning patient of Dr. Shifrin's

I am almost 5 weeks post op and had to get extra fluid drained on thursday. I feel MUCH better afterwards and can move around more freely now. Connie was so sweet and informative and said I may need to come in once or twice more for drainage. I am SO happy it was just fluid. It made it difficult to see how it actually looks and it was so uncomfortable on my one side. It also doesn’t help that it’s not a common procedure yet so I was unsure how I was supposed to look at whichever stage of healing. Im going to try to possibly go in next week because I don’t know what the next few weeks/months are looking like with the virus.. I kinda lucked out with timing for surgery as I think it would’ve been a major struggle going back to work+school after 2 weeks. the recovery still is wayyy easier than butt implants but being able to read reviews for them alleviated a lot of anxiety. I was able to care for myself after the 2nd day. butt implants I could’ve used someone for weeks :O 100% worth it though! those that are asking for pics— i will post when swelling has gone down :)

i’m almost 4 weeks post op and i’m still very swollen towards the bottom of the implants. I’ve done all the right things arnica, bromelain, ice, elevation, and eating very healthy! I’m going to call tomorrow to see if everything is okay and if I can come in sooner. hopefully it’s just fluid.

the recovery isn’t nearly as bad as butt implants but positioning is difficult. super swollen now but will post pics soon! so far looks like Dr. Shifrin matched the wish pics I showed him :) the staff was great as always and the anesthesiologist was very comforting and informative!
