10 weeks Post Op

$6,601
Hey Dolls!
I am 10 weeks po and feeling great! I tried laying on my hips at 8 weeks po but it feels strange, and hurts so I’m still sleeping on my back. I am still itching not Nearly as much as before but I still itch. I am wearing a stage 2 faja and I am on the last hook. I’m 5’2.5, 180’ish pounds and my measurements are 36-29-45.5. My arms are still the same. I had lipo on my arms and j plasma and they haven’t gone done since week 2 po. They are still big and saggy, Avana said i have to wait 6 months before they consider a revision. Again, I do not recommend this practice. The customer service is horrible! Refer to my YouTube for a in depth review with pictures.

6 weeks post op

Hi Dolls! So I am currently 6 weeks post op and feeling great! I go back to work Monday, my sides are still sore and i still have some lumps i haven't gotten another massage, i just massage myself. So far I have had 11 massages, My arms are still the same size they haven't gone down in weeks, it took Avana 4 weeks to respond to my complaints. I have to wait 6 months before they consider a revision. I still will email them weekly with my measurements along with pictures. I honestly don't think they did j plasma. I'm so disappointed, i had a terrible experience with them and definitely wouldn't recommend dr Mamenskis. Check my review out on YouTube ms.browngirl

Horrible experience

During my "pre-op" exam I was unable to see the doctor, I have had several surgeries and I have never experienced anything like this not to mention, I was there for over 3 hours. On the actual day of surgery, Dr. Mameniskis marked me up, and forgot to mark my arms, the medical assistant had to remind him. I specifically asked him did he think I was a good candidate for J plasma and he said yes. After surgery, I noticed my arms still had hanging, at post-op I was told "give it time" well 3 weeks later they are exactly the same, no difference. I paid a lot of money for my arms and they look worse than when I came. On the day of Post-op, I had to demand to see him and at that time he assured me he did perform J plasma, this practice is so unorganized and is bedside manner is non-existent. I have tried to get in contact with them, sent emails called and even sent a DM on instagram. They seem to respond to that but they do not call you back. My body does look nice but my arms, which were the most important look a mess. Oh, and he put two holes under my bra line when he performed liposuction so now if I wanted to wear a bikini you will see the marks. I had lipo done before, why didn't get to in where the last surgeon did? This has been a horrible experience, please listen to me...do NOT go to Avana!!!!
