3 weeks post op skin only tt, lipo on flanks and bbl
WORTH IT$10,800
Ok so I have made it 3 weeks today! I am still swelling just like most people are! I am for the first time excited when I look at my tummy . I am moving around so much better and am completely upright now thank god! My bbl however is a different story. Most of swelling has gone down but it's hard to tell how much fat actually stayed. My butt has some dimples in it now that I hope will go away. My PS says they will and the odd square shape is due to the compression Garment. Let's hope he's right! I have been using scarguard MD on my scar everyday and it looks pretty good. It looks better in person than in the pictures I attached to this review. This recovery has been worse than I thought but I know when my swelling finally dissipates that I will be pleased

looks great! What is bbl? ;)
Brazilian butt lift. They took the day from my flanks and put it into my buttocks .. Not a huge difference for me but just gave my butt a little more shape
ahhh duh. Thanks! :)
Your tummy tuck looks great!
Well thank you! It's been a very emotional ride and hearing that really helps !!
How did the bbl turn out?
It turned out ok... The main area he put fat in is just at the top part of my butt... So it looks much better in clothes. But I feel like it made my butt look like it has a little cellulite now so I don't really love it without clothes on.

10 days PO TT, lipo on flanks and BBL
So this has been a doozie of a recovery from bbl, skin only tt and lipo of flanks. If I had to do it over again, I would def do these procedures at different times. Even though I did not have MR.. I am very sore and still can't stand up straight. I wasn't very big to begin with and he was very aggressive in my flank lipo and got 900cc's out if each side and removed about 5 inches of skin! I was shocked at these numbers! My butt was swollen like crazy and is a very ugly shape right now which is why there are no pics of that yet. My nurse assured me it will look better in the next few weeks. My nurses have been exceptional at dr mizuguchi's office and that has made a huge difference in my mental status because I've gone through all the emotions you can go through. I'm now getting around better, still slow getting up and down but make myself go on walks around my neighborhood and do things around the house. I am down to taking just 1 percocet a day, except shower days, abc supplementing with tyelenol. I, as most of you, am just waiting to get through this swelling phase. I am glad that 90% of my stretchmarks are gone!!

let us know how you are at 3 weeks please! I am having the mini-TT and lipo too, and hoping to return to tennis at 3 weeks. Most are saying whether or not I can do this depends on technique (muscles involved or not) and it's very individual. Most are saying that 3 weeks is too optimistic. Looking for your experience! :)
I would agree that 3 weeks is too soon at this point. For me there would be no way and I did not have muscles tightened but I will post at my 3 week :)
I am considering complete tummy tuck. What was your scar care & how visible is it? How long before you could get back to your normal routine & swelling was gone?
Please update with healed photos!!!!

So far I am very pleased with my results. I'm only...
So far I am very pleased with my results. I'm only 4 days PO and dr mizuguxhi and all the nurses and staff have been fantastic! I've called with questions and they are very prompt returning my phone calls and seem genuinely concerned about my progress. I'm still very swollen of course but am hopeful my new body will look fantastic! I will post pics in a few days

After two children, I am planning to have thesame procedure like you, bbl and tummy tuck. But I do have a nice bottom right now and would just like it more rounded but I am quite worried that it may make my bottom look worst rather than better. Can you post pictures of your bottom before and after.
