25 Year Old Liposuction and Fat Transfer to Breast with Dr. Mendieta - Miami, FL

For years I have thought about this procedure. I have a kangaroo pouch and I am now 20lbs over-weight, I feel unmotivated to workout because even when fit that pouch just will not disappear (i look pregnant). I am what you call skinny fat and most of my fat accumulates in my flanks and abdomen. I also have a bit of a square shape although I have a round butt I don't have a waist. I have researched Dr. Mendieta for 2 years now-he wasn't my first choice Dr. Azurin was but he passed away from cancer a year ago- and I am confident that he can give me the shape I desire. I am scheduled for surgery exactly a month from today and I am so nervous! Currently I am 5'0 tall, weighing 135 lbs and a 34B cup. I am having liposculpting done to the abdomen, waist, flanks and back and I am having a portion of the fat transferred to my breasts. I chose to transfer the fat to the breast rather than the buttocks because I have a full round butt and when I work out it projects ALOT.

It's one week before my surgery. I have recently met with the staff to finalize payments and go over Pre-Op procedures. I have been prescribed with Valium, Percocet, and something to control the nausea. I ordered my own Post-Op garments directly from Colombia only because they are extremely effective and durable. I purchased the bra and a small full body garment from Leonisa (I highly recommend them, the garments are fabulous). I've set up my room to make it comfortable for both me and my mother who will be caring for me. I designated a drawer on my bedside with gauzes, diapers, towels, Dermamend (helps with the bruising), socks, pain killers and movies. I have been taking iron and Vitamin C for the past week to ensure I don't catch a cold and I have been bathing in antibacterial soap. Super excited, can't wait to update you all next week!

I am in a lot of discomfort but not unbearable, my grandmother lent me a recliner and it has been a blessing to be able to adjust my position electronically. Moving is tough and I am a little slow due to the Valium and Percocet. I've take 3 naps (I've been home for about 3 hours) I've been drinking lots of fluids and I already walked one lap around the house. My parents are keeping me hydrated with plenty of fluids and emptying out my catheter regularly, I also have drains but those are empty. I have a burning sensation in my torso but once again nothing unbearable. My Breast are very very full at the moment 600cc in each, they will reduce to around 300cc as it is fat transfer. I can't see my body until tomorrow's post op consultation because I am bandaged but so far so good! I'm very excited to see how I look underneath my garments.
