BBL Round 2 with Dr. Miami....here We Go Again Lol

Hello Booty sisters...

Today marks post-op day #13.
I wanted to give a mini update on how my body is recovering, and also fill you guys in on how my Dr's post op care is "Currently" going since my last complaint/conversation with him at his office 1 week ago.

Its has been 1 week since my mom, and I went to my 1 week post-op check up, 75 miles drive all the way to Miami. We both had complaints, and recommendations for my doctor. We told him our thoughts on his post op care, and how he can improve to make his patients feel trustful . He said he would make phone calls, and follow up with me, and all other patients from now on. He seemed very concerned, and genuine about my emotional state at the time because again..I was in tears and very upset about his lack of post-op treatment care, and followup. I was assured that we reached proactive resolution. I was hopeful that he would call...
My mom flew back to NYC for work the same day, and I was left to care for myself in Florida, but again...I was hopeful things would be better .

It wasn't until yesterday when my mom called...I realized it has been a week since I last seen or heard from my doctor. I haven't heard from him, or any one else at the office. I informed him that I would be alone during recovery. Even a phone call from his staff would be great, but I received nothing. Not a phone call, or even a text from a nurse, or medical assistant. Not even a email, or letter, telegram nothing. And once again, all those feelings from last week started to come back. I felt alone and depressed about it, cause my own doctor doesn't even care enough to follow up. ladies...I have saved up so much money, (and sadly some of it was textbook money) for this, and I have spent so much money on this Dr that I believed was the best...PERIOD
***Heres a Little back story***
So I have been following this Drs work ethic for over 4 years. I was a real fan Dr Miami! Every seminar he did at the colleges in Miami, I watched them. I even asked a student at a college in Miami to record it, and send to me. When I first saw him, I got so nervous that I stuttered and made a complete fool out of myself, because I was so nervous to meet this great man who changed so many lives. And he inspired me to work in a plastic surgical setting. And I even explained to him how much he impacted the lives of future medical students, so he knows this field means everything to me. And he know this is what I want to do, and yes..its personal. I want to impact other lives the same way, because having the ability to give a person confidence can make someone feel so amazing. I mean, thats why we all have done this surgery, to feel good about ourselves. So this is why I want to pursue this field.

I have a follow-up appointment with him next week, and I decided that I will not go. I will not step foot in his place of business again if I do not need to, I will not. Here I am thinking that this Doctor is sympathetic with my situation, and understands how IMPORTANT communication is to patients. And, I get it...he's probably busy, but let your staff help if thats the case. This is unacceptable!
Did you know, for a simple tooth procedure, a dentist office will personally follow up with you, and its protocol?
Did you know that a general surgeon will follow up with a patient for less invasive surgery than a BBL?
Look at how many things can go wrong after the first 48 hours of surgery.
Did you know that many things can still go wrong up to a month later after a BBL is performed??
Yes...my face is not on television.
And yes, I am not an actress, singer, or reality tv star.
But did I beg for this surgery free of charge???
Is my money any less green or fragrant???
Did I not pay on time?
yes, I did! I had to pay on time, and jump through every single hoop that he requested, so why am I treated like a lab rat or test dummy? Never ever again BBL sisters will I ever subject myself to such treatment. I should have walked out from the moment I had that feeling in my gut that it was an automotive chain production.
If you're the average woman...
You pay,
you get out
Thats it.
And I'm over it...

As for my recovery, I am taking it one day at a time. This recovery was harder not only because of what I went through with this office, but because of all the scar tissue from my previous BBL. It was very painful this time around! So I take my medication on time, I walk, drink my water, and sleep. Swelling is getting better, And my results are not fully there yet. I asked for one side of my waist to be liposuction out evenly to match the other side because it wasn't done the first time, and it is still the same. I am upset about that because thats where most of my pain comes from. But I am happy that he took out all the fat in my upper back. My back is smoothed out beautifully. It is also very painful in that area.

I haven't gotten any massages yet because I can't drive. I tried to get "Medical massage Professionals" Marian to come to me, but they said they won't drive that far. I even offered to pay 100$ additional just for travel, and they refused. So I don't know if I am going to get a massage any time soon.

I started wearing my salome vest yesterday, and it works wonderfully. I wore it for 2 hours, and each day I will gradually go up to 2 hours of wear at a time. I also noticed that my garment is getting loose so its time to get a smaller size ughhh lol. I do not even want to think about putting that [RS bleep] on.
I am going to start back my diet next week. I kinda been straying since my surgery, but its time to get back on track with things. I also want to do Light cardio if my body allows for it. If not, just walks will do for now.

Anyway I think thats all for now. Percs are starting to kick in again.
I will include a couple of pics, I know you ladies will appreciate them :)

Hey Booty sisters,

Boy its been a crazy couple of days. Still in pain, still swollen, still draining out my incisions, but no massages as of yet.
I don't know what the hell is going on with me, but every little thing has me crying, its crazy! I am emotionally all over the place!

I went to see Dr Miami for my post op visit, and let me tell you... the tone in that office was def off. My mom went in first and she was told that the nurse told everyone about me, and the situation, so everybody knew...and honestly I didn't care. I was seen quickly by a very nice lady, and the Dr came in to see me shortly afterwards. He checked me out, and said I was healing great. And everything is fine. I also told him about the incident with his hotline nurse, and he seemed concerned. I showed him text messages, and let him know how I felt about it....ended up crying again about it in front of him. I probably looked so unstable but this surgery is putting me through the wire man lol anyway He was open to suggestions for better service. The visit went smooth for the most part and it appeared proactive. I hope my situation doesn't happen to another person.

Aside from that, I got my drains removed!!!! Super happy about that...drains are the worst . So anyway, when I arrived home, I was finally able to put on my garment!! I bought 2 garments from amazon just incase as a backup plan, and that was a great idea!

Well let me tell you....the garment that ended up working out for me is the vedette "Stephanie firm control full body shaper" black, size XXL. Ladies!!! This garment doesn't have any boning in it at all! No zipper, no clasps, no nothing! You basically have to wiggle your ass into it, and it was not easy..especially after going 7 days garment free and swollen on 100%. It was painful and extremely difficult, and I could not do it alone.

But on the positive side...I highly recommend this garment. It adheres itself to your skin, and it contours to your shape to bring out that Video vixen body thats under all that swelling and bruising. I honestly thought not wearing a garment for 7 days would permanently disfigure the shape I desired, but after wearing this garment for only 24 HOURS!! And then taking it off to change gauge and shower...it shaped my body the exact way I was shaped when I had it on. I don't know if that makes sense, but I will try to clarify...
When I had my previous bbl, the garment I was put in definitely helped to shape my body, but not to the exact shape of the garment itself. And maybe that has to do with the material its made of, but this Vedette garment contours my body the exact same way I look with it on, and thats amazing!!! So I can't wait to see how my body looks 1 month from now.
The material this garment is made from, kinda feels like rubber/latex /scuba fabric. It sticks to the skin with minimal creasing and indentation..which is another plus for me. And the booty part is in but it gives a light compression to lift the butt without disfiguring or denting the fat injection locations, and its sheer. There is also a hole in the crotch which allows for peeing but not for defecation. Love love this garment, and it hits above the knees as I am 5'11, So I wear this with embolic stocking to combat the swollen legs.

Anyway, I took a percocet and it's starting to kick in...so you know what that means lol
If you ladies have any questions or suggestions...please feel free to drop them below :)

Hey BBL sisters,

I wasn't going to update on my review until after I saw Dr Miami for my post op appointment..but due to recent events, I will no longer procrastinate to voice my after care treatment .

I will speak only of the incident that happened tonight, and as for my opinion on the Dr himself, I will leave that until later on this week...

You may be wondering "Why doesn't she say what she has to say"? And thats completely logical, and understandable. But, I strongly believe that, Doctors are slandered because of the emotional aspect of this surgery. And I want to be the difference, AND I chose to be 100% fair.

The truth is... women from all over the world come to real self looking for opinions on these highly celebritized doctors based off their post op patients. And although some reviews are false, there are reviews that are factual, and the facts are the facts! We "the unknown" non celebrity-based patients provide the platform for these doctors to be recognized and seen! And the average woman should be treated in the same respects and regard as the celebrity patients. And unfortunately, I am one of those cases who was not held to this standard.

This evening I had a terrible accident after my bbl, and accidents after surgery is no bueno! My drain attachment got caught on a bath drawer, and was yanked out mostly all the way. There was blood everywhere! I was so frightened! I panicked, I cried, I was in agony! So I calmed down, looked at my wrist, and remember The Doctors words "Call that number anytime of day for any emergency" so in my mind, this seemed like an emergency. Now this wasn't my first time calling this hotline number. I called it before, and sometimes I would receive a phone call back, but I was mostly answered VIA text message. This is a problem for me! I do not want an emergency text line, I want to physically speak to a people who knows what they are doing. But In this situation, I called with high hopes of resolution. I received no answer again! I called again, no answer!
So I texted "CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL WHEN YOU GET THE CHANCE...THANK YOU"
1 hours and 10 mins later I receive a text responding " Yes, what is it regarding"?
Now at this point, I am super pissed off, but more so disappointed. Wouldn't a moral person with a conscience call back?
I responded
"I was told this is Dr Miami's surgical hotline. I was told I can contact this number at any time if I needed help. I asked for a phone call because I had an accident earlier, and I have asked for a phone call...and I have not received a phone call"
She responded " Hello, we called and had no answer"
So at this point I sent her a screen shot of my call log so she can see that I haven't received anything from her besides the text message sent 1 hour and 10 mins later. KEEP IN MIND, I AM STILL IN AGONIZING PAIN AND STILL BLEEDING FROM THIS SITE THAT WAS RIPPED!

She then sends me back a screen shot of the "same text message" that was 1 hour and 10mins late. so I ask her "Why are you sending me a picture of the message that is an hour an 10 mins late"?.
She then says "A text reply hun to show you we did text"...

Once again, I asked for a phone call and I told her it was an emergency, why is she still trying to prove something that we are not even discussing?
She then says " ANYHOW, SEND ME A PICTURE OF WHERE THE DRAIN WAS PARTIALLY RIPED OUT? IT SHOULD BE OK"
So my final text message to her was this " Miss, I have been asking for help this entire weekend, and all I've asked for was a phone call instead of a text message, and we are still texting now"

At that moment she finally calls me. And upon answering the phone, she had the nastiest attitude I have ever heard from a qualified nurse in my life! I couldn't even get a word in without her talking over me! I said to her respectfully, and I couldn't even scream , and could barley talk because of anesthesia effects. She said and I quote " Look do you want me to help you or not because I didn't call you to argue with you and I'm not doing this with you" At that moment I lost it, and I started crying and breaking down. I had no one to help me, but this woman on the phone, and she treatment me so meanly, so rudely. I was In shock! I started crying... telling her that I'm not trying to argue, but I'm in pain, can you please just help me, but I just gave up and gave the phone to my mom. And I closed my door, and cried myself to sleep.

I could not believe that a licensed nurse that a high profile Doctor hired... could treat me as if I did something totally wrong. And I didn't want to pass any judgment on this mans practice. Believe me, as there is a God in heaven, I tried my best to be so fair. But this is the worst I have ever been treated. And I am so hurt and disappointed. And I wish I never have to go back to this place of business, but unfortunately I have to remove these drains. I regret ever going to this office, and I regret saving and spending my hard earned money of $8,000 for this procedure. No one should ever be treated like this. And I see the OBVIOUS truth... I can not speak for anyone else, but I do know that he doesn't not care about me being his patient. I was nothing but a paycheck... and I was a part of an automotive chain line of women going in and out.
I am deeply hurt, but as hurt as I am...I would never advise anyone to not go where their heart desires. But if you decide to go here, please be carful, and make sure you don't have to depend on them for after care. I am in tears writing this because I worked so hard, and saved so hard, and lost all this weight for this. I have been on their waiting list for 2 years. I researched for countless hours. I've seen other girls complained about his after care...but I did not listen because I honestly thought they were trying to bring him down because of his success.
My previous Dr, Cortez and his staff never ever made me feel this way. And even after surgery he called me to make sure I got home safe and so did his staff. I never received a phone call nor a text message from Dr Miami's staff unless I texted them first. The only contact they made with me was to send over a medical assistant to bathe me and take pictures; and that was the day after surgery. I haven't heard from them, haven't gotten an email ever since.

My eyes are swollen from crying so I'm going to go...but ladies please carefully choose your Surgeons. And listen to other patients please, because they might just be telling the truth...
