Post Op Day 10

Soooooo I'm post op day 10. My left butt cheek is still smaller and irregularly shaped. I asked them at spectrum how much Dr Ortega put in and take out. They emailed me later that he lipo'd 3000mL and put 1000mL in each cheek. I also asked for hips. My hip region is not tender at all so I can tell he didnt do anything there. And going into this my assumption is he would put more on the left side since it was smaller. ???????? at my post op visit I mentioned it to him that i know I'm still swollen and I have to wait 6wks but this left cheek still has a flat part and is still smaller. He said it cant be smaller because he definitely put more in that one after examining me. But my records say you put 1000ml on each side ????. But anywho moving on with life and hopefully it will just look better with time. If not I will definitely need a revision.

HOW I MASSAGE MYSELF EVERY MORNING! ONLY GOING TO GET A 30 MIN PROFESSIONAL LYMPATIC MASSAGE ONCE PER WEEK FOR 4-5WEEKS. Depending on how I feel. I Got 5 professional before I left Miami as ordered.

See pictures... Step #1Ultrasound massager. To help with swelling, pain & itching. $60 from amazon. Amazon prime and got it the very next mornin. Using aloe vera and lidocaine gel instead of ultrasound gel

Step #2Roller pin firmly after ultrasound massager on top of my tshirt.

Step #3Roll on floor on this to move fluid around and prevent seroma. Ten times in downward motion on back 1rst, both sides, & abdomen last. Then shower & massage yourself gently with hands and oil

Follow up Post Day 6

Seen Dr Ortega today. Waited for 4hrs 0645-1045am. He is nice though and worth seeing. He said there is something that is part of my natural anatomy that is keeping him from placing fat there. However he made it as symmetrical as possibly possibly and its definitely a heck of a lot bigg but he doesn't remember how much he removed or place back in. I have to sign a release and wait for records for a week. Overall I am happy now but will keep you guys updated as the swelling goes down.

Post Op Day 6

Post Op Day 6 Pics
Still very swollen. Got my garment taken in yesterday at Sir Galloway for $8.80 they have different locations but I went to 13007 S.W 87 Avenue Miami Fl 33176 (305) 252 2000. Its hot as balls in there and you have to put the faja on in this tiny ass dressing room so she can fit it on you to your liking then take it off and put your other garment on until you get your tailored garment back(freshly washed garments only). I lied and told them my flight was early Wednesday morning
Then dropped my garment off at 330pm Monday and it was ready 330 PM Tuesday. At first they told me Thursday. There is also Remy Tailor by Alex per my recovery house who does same day turn around drop off in the a.m. and pick up in the a.m. Not sure of the cost there but they are closed on Monday's. I also ordered a wrap around foam from thepinkroom.com for $60 it's very comfortable and leaves my skin uniform unlike a bazillion pieces of foam.

Got my last massage here at spectrum this morning before i fly home tomorrow using the ultrasound machine. It felt good to me. Massages here are $150 for 3 or $60 a piece. I got two free one with my package and one for my realself review.
