It's Actually Happening ! - Izmir, TR

So I still went on holiday and had such a good time.
Although the body contouring wasn't to my standard, the operation was an improvement in the sense that sucking my tummy in wasn't hard. I wore my clothes with loads of confidence! The operation improved how I looked with clothes on but not naked.. And I'm tryna look good naked like my man Gok Wan has been preaching.
My belly was still a problem so no bikinis. I went all inclusive and had about seven cocktails during my two weeks away.. Ate so well.. Even went to the gym!
Got back home.. And decided to send Gina a message as I remembered Dr Ali's comment about it being hard to liposuction. It was after my message to them; there was a post on the gram from their page about having "realistic expectations" which I'm sure was triggered by me but I don't care. £3000 - I have all reason to say if I'm unhappy about something.

Side note I was 6 weeks post op upon messaging Elite and since I left Izmir I'd received not a single message asking if I'm alive. Granted they don't have to, but that's the image portrayed. That they're an elite brand so I had all these expectations and half of them were not met.

Anyway Dr Ali said he removed 1.6trs of fat :| which until now I didn't realise was quite small but then went on to say I had very very thick skin which made lipo'ing hard. Which he said is something a lot of black women have apparently. He also informed me that my unhappiness with my tummy area was due to excess skin in which I'd need a tummy tuck to fix. I was taken aback by this as I didn't expect anything of the sort.
As I said I have seen MIRACLES performed on women so I thought I was an easy case..
He said it was still early for me to assess and I should give it three weeks, get some massages and try not to gain any weight.

I said okay however Gina sent me a voice note saying that I'm a customer with elite for life and if I'm unhappy about anything they'd fix it for free.. So I did just that
Exercised right, got these massages and I currently weigh in at 69Kg! Still unchanged in the tummy area so I sent her a message and she said she'll get back to me and it's nearly two weeks since that message and I haven't heard a word back. Disappointing but you live and you learn.. Will be pursuing them again one more time to see what response I get.

These are also all my personal experiences. We're all built differently, what may not work for me might work for others. I think they have good intentions.. I stumbled through the day after their biggest promotional campaign so they may have been preoccupied with their new poster child and the influx of customers..

For me with Elite, several areas need work.. If you're going to campaign that you're the elite of them all then do exactly that.
Do I regret it? No.. It served its purpose for the time I needed it for this holiday of mine.
Dr Ali is wonderful, Daniel and James were a pleasure, I was fed, I was housed.. It was a smooth journey. The nurses were lovely as can be.. People of turkey kept staring but I'm black, big haired and big bootied.. Hell I'd stare too :D
Also just to get this off my chest I keep reading bout these smoothies other girls had.. I didn't get a smoothie.... But I digress.
Will I use them for any other procedure? No
I'm a perfectionist.. Looking for someone with vision, attention to detail and most importantly good results.
I'm sure she wouldn't mind me mentioning her but DuranDuranDoll on here has the realist post I've seen so far on real self. You need facts when choosing to spend money like this.. Thankfully I'm young with no responsibilities so can spend my money and not feel so bad but yeah.

I'm going to Dr Berker for another procedure in a couple of months & if elite don't respond I will get his opinion on what he can do for me.
This is my journey thanks for reading.
Please ask away..

Will post a video and pictures of my current state when I get a chance xx

Hi!! I'm gonna try and cram the first two weeks into this post with some pictures as well.. Btw my updates contain the good bad and ugly.
So I was discharged at 12pm on Wednesday, Dr Ali came to check on me.. Checked the incision sites.. He didn't stitch them up so said expect a little leakage. Gave me meds and said I couldn't shower till SATURDAY.
I almost fell down.
Unheard of where I come from. I was so icky and it had only been 12hours. For someone who showers twice a day I was sooo unhappy loool. So we bartered and moved it up to Friday morning .
Everything, absolutely everything is slowed down after surgery. I'm normally a road runner so you can imagine how infuriating it was to be ever so slow!
We went back to the villa (legit five mins away) and ever so beautiful...
Spent four days being a bum basically loool
As I said I'm a road runner so I was up and at it and felt fine by Thursday. Surgery was Tuesday late afternoon

I would've appreciated either one of the three people in that villa to have some sort of medical background/knowledge. Being a woman especially there were some things I'd have liked to speak to someone about.. Eg. I developed Jocks Itch? (Diagnosed this myself a week & a half after getting it just in time before my holiday -__-) which may have been caused by the garment and on top of sitting in my bodily fluids for three days AND being on antibiotics. Which I didn't feel comfortable communicating with the two men (as lovely as they were) who were practically my age with no medical background whatsoever and the lady there was just a housekeeper. But little things like that if anyone's getting my drift?
boots also sell an antiseptic spray on plaster I bought that promotes healing and is really good for the incisions so try and buy that too
COMPRESSION socks. Please buy. Not provided

Oh crap forgot to summarise what he did;
So after the consultation with Dr Ali, he explained that those dents were where our pelvic bone is and as a result fat doesn't accumulate there. So he said he'd transfer a little fat to fill and create a shape. Upon returning to my room, Gina who was in the exact hospital at the time as a certain "celebrity" was there too called Daniel and asked me what Dr Ali said.. After explaining it to her she said okay. Daniel then asked me to transfer the remainder of the money and then went on to ask if Gina had informed me that because I was having a fat transfer (to my dents) I now had to pay the full £3000 like a BBL.. Thinking back I should've argued this but I didn't. However for me personally I thought it was very cheeky.
I was also a little disappointed that Gina didn't come to say hi at least.. Would've liked to put a face to the person I'd been talking to considering she was down the hall but oh well. We can't all be celebs ????

Flight back home wasn't too difficult as I could sit however my body just wanted to lie down so I slept for most of it.
Being home wasn't as bad.. I wore my compression garment 23/7 for the first two weeks. Bruising went completely after two weeks HOWEVER.
The ache everywhere that was lipo'd. I can't explain it..
Also.. Dr Ali did something to my lower back. I don't know what it was maybe some type of laser treatment to create that slope/curve.. But that area itched like a [RS bleep]. And because it's painful (worst pain of all areas) itching isn't practical so go to boots. And buy some anti itch cream.. I luckily bought some at the airport otherwise that flight would've been hell.


However I kept watching my tummy.. Because it wasn't flat!
I have seen miracles, absolute miracles performed on women with bodies far complicated than mine on this website so I was a little disappointed with my results at the time but thought with time and waiting for swelling to go down I will be able to eat my words and post my amazing real self review telling the world how perfecrt I am!!!
Big lol -.-
Will update soon...
