Swell hell - 4 week update
The hardness in my back is starting to diminish but the itching is driving me insane! It’s like I have fleas and the sharp zip pains that that happen occasionally make me jump. I’m not going to complain though as I love my body, apart from the obvious swelling. I am a little concerned that my BBL didn’t turn out quite how I wanted it to but I will leave it a while and see how it looks in a few months’ time.
I discovered that if I don’t wear my lipo boards under my faja I am left with really unsightly dents in my body at the end of the day. This because the faja creases as you sit down. Even though the boards are not very comfortable they are necessary as they help keep my stomach flatter and keep the fluid down. I dumped the back board I bought in DR as it was a funny shape and really hard. I ordered a shaped one from e-bay which came from the States (so took nearly 2 weeks to arrive) and it’s much better.
I found out that the incisions from the lipo had spat out some of the disolvable stitches and they were quite sore. I had 2 under my breasts, 3 on my back and 2 under my butt cheeks. I decided that I would remove them myself and was terrified that it would hurt but they just came out really easily with a gentle tug and by the next day the soreness had gone. I still shower using Hibiclens and will do so until all my scars are completely healed. I’m probably overdoing it but hey ho! I can now start scar therapy on them. All suggestions on what works welcomed!
So, I’m healing really well. Dr Mallol was really impressed when I sent him my updated pictures. It’s so nice that I can still contact him even at this stage.
I’m desperate to start exercising – my legs are so flabby now! Surely I can do that from now! Plus, I pray the swelling goes down before summer. I’ve got bikinis to wear!
week 3 update
My lipo areas still hurt. I mean they are sore. My lower back is as hard as rock and feels quite warm. It’s also still numb and strange feeling. I am concerned about this so if any dolls have experienced this please let me know that it is normal and what you did about it. I sent Dr Mallol a WhatsApp last night about it so I should hear from him later today. He has been so on point with answering my concerns so far – love him!
Now my DBL. I’m not sure about it. I know it’s early days but it doesn’t look how I expected it to look. It is definitely bigger. My 13 year old daughter said “what happened to your butt mum?”I asked her what was wrong with it (she doesn’t know anything about BBL’s) and she said “it looks so.……big!” lol! My husband seems to like it (he’s too rude anyway). I must admit that I sat on it a lot on the first day and I was worried that I flattened the life out of it. Also, I remained on my back the whole time whilst at the recovery home due to my TT and the drains so maybe I ruined it. I now understand fully why some dolls decide to go for round 2 after having a TT and BBL. It’s difficult to do both and get amazing results as you can’t lie on your stomach during the early days following a TT which means your butt is compromised. The thought of doing round 2 fills me with dread as I’m still not fully recovered but I wouldn’t rule it out altogether. Let’s see how the butt looks in a few months’ time.
I went to a party on Saturday- with my boppy pillow- all bent over (no shame in my game). I couldn’t resist dancing the Candy and had 3 round of Bailey’s (very naughty). I paid for it severely the next day though. My legs and feet were massively swollen like I had elephantitus and my incision was aching. Serves me right! I spent all of Sunday in bed with my legs raised.
I went back to work on Monday. I really struggled! The drive there was only 30 minutes but I felt every bump in the road. I felt nauseous the entire day and couldn’t wait to get home to my bed. The first day was exhausting but it was a bit better the 2nd day. I told my students that I had back surgery – too nosey!
I still haven’t had a massage since returning from DR which is really bad. I must sort this out asap as I’ve got swelling in my abdomen. I don’t want to get a seroma. It’s £40 a pop in the UK and Mallol said I should have 3 a week for a month! I just have to factor the costs into the whole price of having surgery. This process is not cheap at all but oh so worth it!
Has anyone used ultra sound on their lipo areas? Did it help?
Stage 2 garment. Day 13
Provider Review
I can only give Dr Mallol 5 stars all the way. From the very beginning he has been very responsive and accommodating. There was no issue when I had to change my appointment date, my questions were answered in a timely manner whether via WhatsApp or email. The payment process is straight forward although I did hate having to carry so much cash on me from the UK but all the surgeons in the DR do this. During my consultation, I didn't feel rushed when I brought out my list of questions. He took his time to explain everything to me which put me at ease as I was a nervous patient. Please listen to what your surgeon tells you with regards to hygiene and infection avoidance. The buck stops with you a lot of the times and sometimes it's just one of those things that happen in the process of healing. For me, there was no issue at all with infections - I followed Dr Mallol's advice to the T. His persona just made me relax and I felt that I was in very good hands. After my surgery, I saw Dr Mallol several times before I left the clinic, then twice more before I left DR. He is a very busy man but he doesn't rush when he is with you. You have his attention 100%. With regards to the staff that dealt with me, I found them to be OK. I think the language barrier is an issue which makes them appear aloof. That said, I found that once I was able to get my point across they were fine with me. I watched them like a hawk but they were fine. It was just the noise during the night. It was terrible, not that I could have slept anyway and I doubt Dr Mallol is aware of this. Since coming home, I have been in contact with Dr Mallol several times via WhatsApp and he called me on the telephone to reassure me about my hard lipo area. I'm not aware of many surgeons who take the time out to do this for their patients. I am so glad I chose him and would recommend him to anyone who is considering at TT. I mean, have you seen my scar? It's amazing!
