Tomorrow is the big day for me ladies I've been told to arrive at Vanity at 12pm. I'll put up a full post and honest review of the entire procedure once I'm on the other side. This is my 3rd cosmetic procedure (I've done breast augmentation with lift May 2011 and Tummy tuck March 2015) so I'm not as anxious or excited. I will probably start to get anxious tomorrow on the way to Vanity. For now I've arrived in Miami heading to the movies since I won't be able to do that for awhile and then to bed. Will keep all u ladies posted on my outcome and will post pictures soon!

Well ladies I'm here at Vanity was told the day before to get here at noon then got a call at 8:30am to come at 10am and then another call later was told to be here at 11am. So I get here and EVERYONE is super nice and I got my free garment they said that was included and there was no hassle there. Booked my massages signed a ton of paperwork (every surgeon makes u sign a lot) took my pre-op photos and now sitting comfortably in a reclining chair with a blanket watching tv and waiting for my turn. Here's some pre-op pics for everyone that I took his morning - I'll post my results on the other side!!!

Thank u he definitely did his magic I've had my boobs done a tummy tuck done and now my booty and this is by far the most dramatic change I've done - also the most painful lol

Good to know. I also had TT and BR/BL. I'm a little concerned having Lipo on my belly even though I didn't have it with my tt. The skin is a little thin bellow my BB and I have fat above. I'm just a little scared of my internal organs being punctured since the fat there is weird. I read on Instagram that happened to a girl recently
That her bowel got punctured, but his results seem pretty consistent. You look great btw, I hope to go in may

I kept thinking about that too - that dr I think it was dr o punctured her small intestine and spread the bacteria to her sciatic nerve which rendered her legs useless. I had my reservations about it but I really do believe that was isolated to dr o and his lack of skills and not medically board certified. Dr fisher is double board certified I checked him myself. With the TT my skin was pretty tight also but the benefit was a) it did get flatter I didn't know that was possible lol b) my nerves have not regenerated themselves from the abdomen so the lipo in the front doesn't bother me at all

UPDATED FROM me1820de
1 day post

Day #1 is so painful

User Avatar
me1820de
So here's an update on my experience - first I've never had any issues with the Vanity staff throughout this entire process which I'm grateful for. All the girls are super sweet and helpful. Went to the surgery center at 11 but didn't go back to surgery until around 4. Let me tell u when you've read from other girls that you wake up shivering uncontrollably it's insane. The recovery nurse did put a heater hose blowing hot air under my blankets for me. The shivering is quite painful and yes u wake up on ur back and butt. I did opt for cell saver it cost me 550.00 and I think it was well worth it. I haven't bleed out like I've read and heard and even dr fisher said it would look like a murder scene during recovery but less than 24 hours and I've almost stopped bleeding completely.

Now the pain on day 1 is unimaginable so mentally prepare yourself for the pain I almost broke down in the car on the way to vanity for my first massage today. Everything hurts even a slight brush against my skin makes it super painful. I will post more tomorrow ladies!! Here's some photos it was hard to get these but I'll post more tomorrow

I'm so excited!! So did u bring your own after care items such as the foam the arnica pills, things to care for the incisions etc
User Avatar
October 2, 2016
Yep I brought some supplies but haven't used most of them yet. Day one was so painful I totally forgot to tell my husband to make sure I use them. I have had to use the gauze and medical tape as I've been replacing the ones covering my incision sites. Make sure u get watermelon and pineapples all fresh (watermelon is a natural water diarrhetic and pineapple has the natural enzyme for bromelin which I've also brought bromelin pills.

That's a good start - I don't know where ur doing ur recovery but I did mine at a hotel with my husband and I regret not grabbing a small bottle of Clorox wipes. If u have a thermometer and blood pressure cuff those r good to bring also - socks my love too!!! My body goes hot and cold I think from the shock and of course I didn't bring socks. Don't forget ur back scratcher I sure wish I had one you'll be stiff and yes I've needed to scratch my back and "rear"

Have u had a massage yet? And if so who are u using for that???
User Avatar
October 3, 2016
Hi Mrs Crystal yes I did my first massage with Vanity the next morning
October 3, 2016
Yes you will look amazing! You already had a beautiful back! Mine is all straight and wide. So I take it you had to go back to vanity for massage? Do you have drains? And if so, I heard fisher doesn't recommend massage til after drains out???
User Avatar
October 3, 2016
U don't have to go to Vanity for the massages i just chose to do my massages there. I have one drain on my right hip and I was told that massages are mandatory for his patients. I did my first massage the morning after surgery and im going back for my 2nd one today

That is for sharing very interesting that they use a cell saver machine. Excellent blood management ! Good for you. Rest well. Wish you a full recovery!
User Avatar

Thank u I really do believe the cell saver has made my recovery go well and heal faster highly recommend it for anyone doing the aggressive lipo for BBL

What is the cell saver?
User Avatar
October 4, 2016
It's transfusing your own blood that you've lost during the liposuction procedure and put it back into your body. I read a little bit on it and was on the fence about it - it is an additional 550 and I didn't see any patient reviews about it on real self and a lot of doctors stating it was worthless for a BBL procedure. Here's my opinion on it - maybe for those doctors it's not a necessity but keep in mind dr fisher is notorious for being very aggressive with the BBL this he gets great results time again time again. With that comes a lot of trauma and blood loss for the body - imagine being jumped by a ton of ppl who just kick and punch ur whole torso. Well the cell saver will transfer ur own blood back to ur body which in theory will help u recover faster. Remember I said I was on the fence about it but hell for 550 ok I throw that i a casino easily so I'll try it. MAGIC - first 12 hours after surgery was hell but after that and my first massage I stopped draining and bleeding from all my incisions and I've recovered very quickly hardly any pain left and can move around on my own. I believe it's a lot due to the cell saver, hydrating very well every 2 hours after surgery, walking around the room every 2 hours after surgery, sleeping a lot the first 24 hours after surgery and the diet I ate. Feed the body to bring it energy and nourishment to heal itself. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE CELL SAVER

I am on the fence as well. My appointment is next Thursday. I wonder how much of the lack of draining was due to the cell saver

So when did U stop bleeding altogether
User Avatar
October 5, 2016
I actually stopped bleeding from all my incision sites about 12 hours after surgery and didn't bleed out nearly as much as I read and what dr fisher said I would. He said it would look like a murder scene and expect about a 2 liter sofa bottle of blood loss everyday

Good morning Doll. Dr Fischer did my procedure JUNE 2016 , I did not bleed a lot and did not have any excruciating pain ! I was sore the first day after , and of courses for weeks after ! It's been 4 months and still have some tender areas! Dr Fischer did a beautiful job on my stomach , back , and my ass is phenomenal! I asked for a lot of projection and got it !! Good blessings to you all on your journey ! I would recommend Dr Fischer he is a artist !!
