Cleaning of the soiled faja
TreasuresnewbodySeptember 16, 2016
$6,000
Hi beauties. after my BBL I drained fluid all over my faja and it looked like a crime scene. even though it was washed it still had stains. I purchased a 2.00 bottle of peroxide and soaked it in the sink. I made sure I put it on the most soiled areas and gave it a good rub. After it soaked I took it straight to the washer machine and washed it. Voila it came out clean as brand new. Being that you have to wear this thing for 24 hours a day you want it to look as clean as possible.

First Lymphatic Massage
TreasuresnewbodySeptember 14, 2016
hey beauties, today I received my first massage from a masseuse in NC. Let me start by saying AHHHHHHH. I have no idea why they call it a lymphatic massage at New Life, it should be called a fluid removal process. I cant express to you how good I feel right now. When she touched a few areas it was a little sore but she rubbed that soreness away. Your nodes are right under your skin so its not a deep pressing at all. She started from my neck all the way down to my ankles, even my arm pits because there are nodes there also. I am going back again on Saturday to get another. I was told by several masseuses that these massages will cut my healing time in half. I think its worth it. Just factor this in with your budget for your BBL. Oh and just a side note this 124.00 BBL pillow I purchased from New Life is hella uncomfortable. I could have rolled up a 7.00 towel and got the same affect and not been as uncomfortable.

That is awesome! I am so happy everything is going well. How much are there massages( sorry if u told us, I jump in and out of RS.)? Also was going back to work hard? How soon did you go? I work in a lab and my co-workers are aware of my plans, but am curious of the issues i may come across?
September 14, 2016
The massage price will vary for the area where you live but you can spend up tp 100.00 for one. I went back to work Monday however I am working from home so it makes life a little easier for me. I may actually go into the office on Monday but I will see how I feel. I have a sit down for 8 hours a day kind of job. My main goal with my BBL was the lipo and to get some lift back into my behind. I don't want a huge butt. I wanted mine to look as natural as possible. I am very happy with my results. Dr. Llorente sucked that back fat and stomach fat out like he was mad at it. I love my results.
September 14, 2016
Lmao!!! He was mad at that fat huh?!?! LOL I am so happy for u. I am the same, i mainly want the fat sucked from my stomach and back..#snatched! I want booty and hips too but not extravagant, just curvy and naturally PHAT...Some ppl spoke of the Hand held massagers from walmart . Did u hear that they were good or think it could help u?
Also, how was the plane ride home? Did u use BBL pillow or just towel under ur legs and behind ur back?
Were u moving around ok in a weeks time or still really stiff and sore?
I stand up a lot and walk back and forth drawing blood but have the option of sitting if I need it. I go back to work 2 weeks after my surgery...From ur experience, what do u think about that?
I know that was a lot of questions but i dnt see man ppl speak about that..

Yes, I am snatched but of course aunt flo (my period) is on her way and I am bloated.
I walked up and down the aisle while on the plane and got some crazy looks but who cares. I did stand up by the exit door for about 40 minutes. I had to sit during take off and landing. My flight was only 1.45 long. When I did sit I used this super expensive pillow. LOL
I did by the hand massager from amazon and I do like it. Now since I have had the real massage I know how to use the hand massager better for my benefit. I am still a little sore but nothing insane. the massages will help you not be so sore for sure. I did go back to work after 2 weeks but I am working from home so its not really the same. I am laying on my stomach at home while I am typing this. LOL

Did you receive any massages while out in Miami? If so, is there a difference from the one you received in NC?
September 14, 2016
Yes, I received several what they call massages but they are more fluid removal than massage. it worked to get the fluid to drain out but it was so painful. I did feel relief after but this massage was the actual lymphatic massage and I cant tell you how good it felt. I had her use my arnica gel and it worked great.
September 14, 2016
Try a bolster pillow to sit on. If it's not firm enough, you could stuff it til its firm to your liking. I'm going to try that first before buying any kind of bbl pillow. I've already started looking for lymphatic massage therapists here in my hometown...If anything, I've learned they are superrrrr important to our recovery.
September 14, 2016
Yes one of my gf said she did not get her massages as recommended and even tho her results are great she had pockets or lumps only she can feel and knows its bc she did not get them... wondering if anyone heard that the hand held Hot and Cold Massager from Walmart works nice.. of course u would have to learn the directions to massage but can save money??
September 14, 2016
lol Ok.. My cousin is coming with me so im sure that will be a funny flight home. I told her not to make me laugh bc I know it will hurt. DId ur feet swell during ur flight? Did u need wheel chair service to the plane? I live in Maryland so my flight is about 2hrs. I can not wait for Feb to come and go. Im am not goin to know how to act come May..lmao!!! Im afraid to purchase my faja bc ppl ssem to get the wrong sizes. Did Ghurani give the first in ur package? If so, I will wait and wear that and then order the next the week I come home. R u still in the first Faja? I just don't want to start purchasing things too early and drive myself crazy looking at it..
U are blessed to b able to work from home. That's a sweet deal!!

I had wheel chair service going home and thank God I did. Miami airport is huge and in the wheel chair you go to the front of all lines. I stood and walked around on the plane every chance that I could so I had no swelling. I also had on my compression socks and that helps. With a BBL laughing doesn't hurt. I am in my first faja because I took it to a tailor and had them take in the top part. I need the bottom to stay the same size because my butt is big and I didn't want to squeeze it. I also have a second faja that is a size smaller than the original one the doctor puts on you after the procedure. Don't buy one until after your procedure. you can order it off amazon and it will be delivered in two days if you have prime. You can have it delivered to a RH or hotel but don't purchase it until you know your size. I have no idea who Ghurani is. I went to Dr. Llorente.
September 16, 2016
ok great.. I am so grateful for u Lady. I am so happy for u!!!! U said u don't want to squeeze that ass..Lmao!!!!
I remembered u did went to a different Dr.. Ghurani works at spectrum.
Well good healing and cant wait for the pics... U better hope ur hubby takes them, he might say, he don't want anyone else seeing that Booty>>Lmao!! Have a good Weekend.

You are so welcome love. I am so happy to help. I was on RS for months and as much as I read and researched it was a lot of information that I wish I had. So I want to make sure that I try to give as much info as possible.
September 15, 2016
I know...you probabley don't feel like posting pictures right after surgery however, some of us would be better prepared mentally if we see what others experience before we follow in a similar path. I would like to see a daily photo starting with the day before the BBL and each day after the BBL so that I can have an idea of the bruising, fat distribution and improvements that occur each day however subtle these changes might be...
September 15, 2016
Girl, I can tell you right now I didn't feel like taking daily pics. I will ask my hubby to take some pics of me today when he gets home. There are so may pics on this site of people that have taken daily pics for you to get an idea of what to expect. but just know that everyone is different. I have been on RS for months before my surgery and I have never heard of anyones drain closing the very next day. Some things will be your very own adventure. LOL

Hi beauties. I know I have been away for awhile. I had to come back home after several attempts to reopen my drain on the right side of my stomach. I had fluid build up. Even though I can see a huge difference that I love, my body is going to have to absorb the rest of the fluid on its own and I will pee it out. I have so many compression foams in the garment to assist with the process. Sleeping has been even more difficult and non existent because of it. Each morning I can see less swelling. Make sure when you have your surgery it's no holidays so you can go see the masseuse daily. I promise I will post pics as soon as I get out of this funk.

Feel better dear!! I'm definitely rooting for you. My turn is on the 15th.
September 12, 2016
You are going to love your results. I know I do. he had to suck so much fat out of my back that is my sorest part but I am back to work. Please take pain meds for your first massage. I wish someone on RS told me how painful it really is. I was screaming in pain but once you take your pain meds you will be able to stand it. You do feel better after the massage.
September 9, 2016
As anxious as we are too check out the new and improved you, we can wait. Take care of yourself first! I'm happy to hear your swelling is improving...that fluid can be a bxtch from what I hear.
September 9, 2016
Wishing you a speedy recovery...How was the overall experience with Dr Llorente and staff? I have my surgery with him on the 26th..aslo, did you stay at the RH? If so, how was the experience and staff? Also, if you can provide a liat supplies that are a MUST have....I want to make sure I have all I need without buying/bringing too much
September 12, 2016
Dr. Llorente is a gem. If you are looking for a new bestie that is not him. He is professional and has a great bedside manner. People have complained that he isn't very warm and fuzzy. I didn't need that because he did a hell of a job. Yes I stayed at the RH. They are super sweet. I did ask them to purchase more salads and pineapple juice. they had everything else. I only needed my PEZ, Neosporin, lotion for face and body, dial soap, bring extention cord for electronics, fix your hair so you don't have to worry about it.
September 12, 2016
Thank you so much for this info... Yes, I do not care about warm and fuzzy, I'm a New Yorker and deal with so nice people daily. Great, so you did not need to bring like gauze, tape, pads?
September 12, 2016
I am a New Yorker also. Not at all. I did use my pads and they worked great. You will leak straight through that gauze but Anita has it. Your drainage is going to be insane. Anita will change the towels and pads every time you ask her. The antibiotics are going to make you go to the bathroom like crazy so I never got constipated. I did drink tons of water. However they did give me a yeast infection like that is what I wanted to deal with. if you can have your own dr. give you a script for Diflucan jus in case it will save you from being miserable with an itchy crouch.
September 9, 2016
Take ur time Live and I pray all continue to get better. I know u look gorgeous...
September 9, 2016
Thanks for letting us know what is going in, I hope you get out of the funk soon. Great tip about the holiday weekend and massages.
