What about if you have Mireeena IUD birth control? Does that have to be taken out?
I’m not sure, you can ask her
i really dont understand i read so many cases where the same doc Dr Duran did a poor job and the girls had bad infections and fat necrosis it was soooo baaad i dont get it is she good is she bad
I read about 1 or 2 cases, I didn’t see more than that. But if you work in healthcare you know that there’s always a couple of complications. There’s cases of people who were otherwise healthy and go for surgery and they die. Surgery ALWAYS carries a risk, never let any doctor tell you otherwise. Dr Duran is super honest about this as well....
Do you speak Spanish? If not, how was the consultation like in terms of communication? I am nervous about my consultation cuz I don't speak Spanish and I'm afraid I won't be able to articulate what I want... Like, I want a heart shape butt with some hips. I also looking to do arms and inner thigh lipo since I don't have much fats to begin with. Does she accept wish pics?

Itchiness after 2 weeks

So the itch. No one talked to me about this but I did research. Apparently 2 weeks post lipo, your nerves are reawakening so you will become extremely itchy. Benadryl helps for sure.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Sending healing your way✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Hi there! Thanks for sharing your experience thus far! Did Benadryl make you sleepy? I know Benadryl works well but also I'm considering Claritin as it is a non drowsy version (but not sure if it is as effective) Any plans to post a before and after pics up? :)
Benadryl didn’t make me sleepy but everyone is different. Not planning to post pics but I can just say I looove my results!
I'm happy for you :) I can imagine how you must be totally elated!

Back home

Flew back home yesterday. FYI the faja will ring in security, not much you can do about that. I saw a couple of people who looked like they got a bbl and used the wheelchair, which allowed them to skip the lines and wait hardly anything, which helps when going through customs when you come back. I was exhausted and my poor husband has had to help me in my faja every time it needs to come off which is when I bathe and for pooping. That damn faja hole isn’t big enough for you to poo in without dirtying it unless you tailor it.

can you post pics on a new post please?
Are you going to post a video on your whole experience?
No
thank you for the wheelchair tip! i will keep that in mind when I fly back to the U.S. with my wife!
Yes thank you for the wheelchair tip... Also you can cut the faja with a scissor yourself to make more room (d'prada)just avoid the seam
Do you have the nurses info that gave you post op massages?
