BBL with 360 Lipo

One day until the procedure. I'm excited and nervous. I've decided to go with Elite Sculpture for the no stitches and no drains approach. Also, I'll be awake the entire time. I'm hoping the Dr. Can calm my nerves at our pre-op meeting as I have only had 3 or so conversations with scheduling manager and nurses up until now. Everyone speaks highly of the Elite Sculpture method and is ensuring me that I'm in good hands. I'll post before pics and after pics as I get into this journey. I hope others can benefit and learn a bit more about the procedure I'm about to go through, as the post op care recommendations are different from what I've seen through typical lipo and bbl.
Wish me luck for the big day tomorrow!

Here's the run down of my experience at Roseville, CA Elite Body Sculpture. The office staff are all friendly and attentive. My nurse, Chloe played close attention to me throughout the entire visit. She also did my pre and post op calls. They had me dress in a surgical bra and panty for before pictures and to wear the entire time. A robe was available for my comfort too. Dr. Rasi was friendly and kind, yet direct and clear with realistic expectations. He marked me up while explaining his intentions for every spot. They gave me meds for anxiety and antibiotics, showed me my postoperative bag with foams, pads, etc to take home.

The procedure itself was fine at first on the tummy area. But then slowly I felt more and more discomfort and pain. I am VERY sensitive to pain, you could say that I have an extremely low pain threshold. Now with that being said, Dr. Rasi stopped and added more numbing solution before continuing anytime I complained. He was very responsive. Chloe did amazing watching me like a hawk for any non verbal que if I wasn't able to handle it.

Once everything was over...I can't even remember him doing the bbl! The meds I was on were affecting my memory (I was pretty heavily dosed at this point) and just tired from the pain and discomfort of the lipo! But I pulled through and was able to get into the faja with the nurses help. Next thing I know, I'm in the post op waiting room sleeping while waiting for my ride.

At home, all I did was sleep for hours at a time, only waking up to pee or eat/take meds. Today morning I finally felt like myself again, just sore and tender around my tummy, sides, back, butt.. basically everywhere there was lipo or poking.

Here's some pictures from today. I feel like my tummy is exactly the same size from before. I hope it's the foam board and pads under the faja making it look like that. But I have to keep all this on for 48 hours. I'll update again once I can take off the faja and shower, to see what I'll look like. They said swelling will take about a week to go down.. so I'm not expecting much difference tomorrow.

So I'm feeling it! Bruising is no joke, but manageable. I'm definitely going to get another faja to switch between the two. The straps on this one is digging into my skin. I see definition in the waist, and some booty. The incisions are draining less now, and I'm finding the foams plus ab board and lumbar board very helpful. I'm no model, but I do want to get as snatched waistline as possible without a tummy tuck. I'm considering having that done later. Booty isn't as wide as I had hoped...I wanted some more hips! But it's still early in the game...let's see how it turns out!
