Changed my review to worth it!

So even though I still have an issue with the lumpy, uneven appearance, I am happy with the total amount of fat lost. I love the way that I look in clothes and have been receiving a lot of compliments. I am hoping that my stomach takes on a more normal appearance soon so that I can show my new tummy off!

Thanks for the update! Your side view looks amazing, and actually, other than the lumpiness, your front view does as well! Hopefully the massaging will work for you :D.

Hello! This is Dr. Boutte! I do remember you, and I am so happy that you were able to see and appreciate such a huge difference in size so quickly! And yes, with the amount of fat that was removed, please understand that there was a great deal of "dead space" created where the fat once was. Because your skin has a soft texture to begin with, it has to re-seal to mend the "dead space". Therefore, it is totally normal to have irregularities during the first month of this "re-sealing". Understand that the process of healing takes a total of 6 to 12 months.
Because I do have such a high volume surgery practice, routinely, our nurse Lee will see you at your 1 week and 1 month visit to address any immediate concerns or questions. Lee then alerts me of any matter with which I need to get immediately involved. I normally see you at your 2 to 3 month post-op visit once we can really surmise how your healing is coming along, and again at your 6 month visit for discussion of final outcome.
Regarding our ads, they typically change quarterly. I believe the one you're referring to stated small areas are of a certain price, and also denotes that one area is free. However, it did not say "buy one area, get the 2nd free". I do apologize for any misunderstanding. In addition, it states that a consultation is needed to determine final cost. I must say there is so many misconceptions and different definitions of what "an area" really is. This is why a consultation is needed to determine final cost.
Finally, because of the high surgical volume of my practice, it makes it impossible for me to conduct ALL consultations and ALL follow ups. So we have put together a strong, professional, friendly, and highly competent TEAM to make certain all facets of the surgery are covered satisfactorily. We pride ourselves on providing warm, nurturing service from beginning to end. It seems like you got that from Lee during and after your surgery, and was able to get a glance of my smile while I was performing your surgery.
Thank you so very much for your feedback! I hope my explanation helps you and others. I look forward to seeing you on your next visit! So far, it seems you are doing amazingly well.
Sincerely,
Dr. Windell Davis Boutte'

Dr. Boutte, thanks so much for getting back to me! I understand about the dead space but when I initially came in for the consultation, I told them about a big event that I have to attend in June and that it was important that my stomach look "normal & healed" by then and I was told that it absolutely would be. I don't know if that is really true. However, you did remove a ton of fat, NO MORE LOVE HANDLES, YAY!! And I'm so grateful for that! As recommended by another patient, I bought a hand held massager and it has made a big difference. You are absolutely right, my skin is super soft, this is evident when I sit down and it looks all wrinkly and disfigured but I've been exercising every day, drinking plenty of water and compressing 23/7. I'm hoping that a miracle happens over the next month and my stomach starts to look more normal. In clothes, I look great, it's naked that isn't so pleasant. I am hopeful though that it will get better and I do thank you for getting rid of the unwanted fat that I've lived with most of my life. Thank you!

Hi there... I had my procedure with Dr. Boutte back in January and so far, my experience has been very positive. I read your blog and noticed that you mentioned being two month post op. Since you reported lumps and bumps, I'd suggest that you get a portable hand-held massager and start massaging your abs everyday. The type I used was, "Wahl 4290-300 Deep Tissue Percussion Therapeutic Massager". Price is now $39.07 on amazon.com. You had said a lot in your post and I also see that Dr. Boutte also wrote a response. What I'd like to say to you is that despite all that has happened, you're just 2 months into the surgery and you really need to do all that YOU can do to get your body "in-shape". As far as corrections go, you'll cross that bridge when you get there, but that's still in 4+ months :-) Do what you need to do for yourself now.
That said, get the massager asap. Start a regimen of 10-15 minutes on your abs and back 2-3 times a day. You might end up spending about 20minutes all together each time. Do it slow and be aggressive. You're 2 months po and your pain level should have dropped a lot by now. If your still feeling pain, work through it. Sorry, I've got to be blunt here :-)
Secondly, make sure your CG is still very firm on you. Don't assume that the size given to you after your last appointment is all you'll need till your 6mths. Not at all! If it starts to feel too confy, get another one smaller cause you're still shrinking and it'll help. As for the binder, I personally will say keep it on too especially after you've completed your massages. Based upon your pictures, you do look great, I must say :-) Someone like me, and many more in the community had to wait a few months to look the way you look now, but it was worth it. I believe that Dr. Boutte will do what she needs to do for you on her end when the time comes. You just need to do what you have to do for yourself now. I hope this helps. SMILE, BE HAPPY & ALWAYS TELL YOURELF, "I"M SO DAMN HOT"..... Stay blessed!

Thanks so much and sorry for the delayed response. I did get a hand held massager and it has made a big difference. I'm still a little uneven and bumpy but much better than it was before! I'm actually on my fifth waist cincher because as soon as it starts to get a little comfortable, I run out and get another.

Have u thought about a corset? U can adjust the compression on lower abdomen, waist, or upper body and I like much better than the waist cinchers. Much more comfortable also.

May 15, 2014
Where can I get one? Your advice has been super helpful, thank you so much!
May 15, 2014
I replied to you but think it may have gone to someone else, I wanted to thank you again, your advice has been so valuable!!

There r several very good videos on YouTube regarding corseting and waist training. Also several articles on the internet.

I purchased mine from orchardcorset.com . I've suggested that either styles CS-411 or CS-305 will be better (both are steel-boned) and don't hinder movement and it'll be comfortable sitting down. The other corset designs are much longer, the poke the pubic area when sitting and hinder movement. They cost between $65-$100. Finally, do not mix up the cincher & corset . They may look alike, but serve opposite purposes. Hope this helps :-)
