The Recovery Stage Makes aDifference in Your Results
Hello,
So today is my nineth day after surgery. I received my seventh lymphatic massage today. I will post more about my experience with the surgeon Dr. McAdoo and Vanity/Encore later.
I learned after the fact, from experience, about how the surgeon's technique plays only a small part in how your results will come out. Obviously he or she plays an important part, but if you don't have the right after care, the best surgeon in the world can't promise you good results if you're not wearing a garment, if you're sleeping on your back, or sitting on your butt.
I stayed at Claudia's recovery home in Miami and I can honestly say I don't know how I'd make it through recovery without her. You do NOT want to bring a relative to help you take off and put on your garment, clean your incisions, clean the drain tube or drain the fluids out of the reservoir, or help you urinate or defecate.
Claudia picked me up from surgery and brought me to my recovery bed. As soon as she helped me lie down on my stomach, she brought me homemade rice soup and helped feed it to me.
Soon after I had to pee and she brought me to the bathroom and helped me steady myself while I tried to go. I couldn't go, I felt really nauseous when I tried to squat. She brought me back to the recovery bed and helped me lie down. This process repeated itself twice, until when I could finally pee. This is just once instance of her helping me without any problems.
Throughout the entirety of that day, as well as my stay at her recovery home, Claudia was cheerful to do anything I needed her to do. She would bring me water when she saw I was almost out from the last water bottle she gave me. She would give me a lymphatic massage when she noticed I was swollen. If I couldn't reach my phone and I wasn't strong enough to crawl to the bedside table to get it yet, she would bring it to me. When I would ask her about these things she would say okay and do them. She was so nice and caring. Never was there something too trivial for her to do for me.
The state she keeps her recovery home in is immaculate. She cleans the bathroom after its used each time. She cleans the hard surfaces and floor multiple times a day. She cleans the shower every time so you know it's safe to use.
Claudia made the difference in my recovery after a BBL. I was very swollen until the seventh day, and I'm glad I planned to stay at her recovery house until my tenth day. If I didn't, I probably wouldn't have gotten as many massages. I therefore wouldn't have a twenty-seven inch waist already only nine days after surgery. I'd be more swollen than I am now and I would risk having saggy skin.
Claudia's number is (305)496-5110 I am considering returning to Miami for breast implants. If I do go, I will be staying at Claudia again, she's awesome!

My final wish pictures
Hello,
These are the final wish pictures that Dr. McAdoo said are realistic for my body to achieve. He said that since I already had hips it wouldn't take that much fat to get the hips I want based on this front facing picture. He said that the woman standing in the airport is really achievable too (oh my god yaaay!). Unfortunately he did say that the woman standing in the water from my first batch of wish pictures is unachievable and that it looks very edited. He thinks I'll be happy with the results I will get nonetheless:)

Going to Florida tomorrow, getting my BBL done the day after!
Hello,
I'm getting my BBL done Tuesday by Dr. McAdoo and I couldn't be more excited. I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight or tomorrow night. I weigh 121 pounds, and when the doctors saw my updated photos they said that's plenty of fat for my final wish pictures I sent them. I'm going to take my measurements later but I'm going to post them. Honestly I hate the way jeans fit me right now, they're almost tight in the stomach and super loose in the butt and thighs. I used to be a 25/26 in Forever 21 jeans but I've been wearing 29's since I hit 120 pounds. I'm posting my final pre op pictures before the surgery.
I don't expect these 29 size jeans I bought for my stomach during weight gain to fit at all after surgery, and so now the size 3s I wore from Hollister before weight gain don't really fit my thighs either because they're too tight. Since they're tight in the thighs I don't think they'd fit after I get lipo anyway since I'm only getting my stomach lipoed, not my thighs.
Does anyone know how long it took them to figure out what size they'd be and stay after after the swelling goes down? Like two weeks? A month? I heard that you won't see your final results for 6 months but I need to wear pants to work so I can't wait that long. I can hold out a month to buy better fitting pants for work but that's about it!
