BBL... Nervous!! - Miami, FL

UPDATED FROM Gift2Me2014

Help!!!

$4,500
My sister in law just had a BBL done and her expierene has been completely different from mine. She had it done 3 days ago and can barely move without wanting to pass out. Well she took the faja off for the first time and she has these huge indents in her stomach...two of them. And they are hard almost like scar tissue. She sent pics to her doc and they are saying she is fine. They also told her she doesn't need the massages. Has anyone seen this before and will her stomach go back to being normal and flat?

She needs the massages!!!!!
Yeah that's what I was telling her. I can't see that going away on it's own.
She needs the massages. Is there any pain with the indents in her stomach? Looks like there could be possible internal burns. Did she get this done with Fisher?
No she got it done in NY. On top of everything else I think she may have an infection b/c it's been a week and she seems to be getting worst instead of getting better :(
Yes messages are def important post op. I remember my stomach looked crazy and deformed the first few days after surgery because of the swelling and fluid however I kept cotton I my belly button to keep its shape , massages and compression really helped. By day 7 it was looming normal
Thanks I told her she should be getting them done even though her doc said she doesn't need them. I don't think her doc is very expierenced in BBL's :( it's been a week and she's still pale and in A LOT of pain. Can barely walk. I was up walking like nothing the next day.
OMG, who was her surgeon?

So far so good. I do wish that I was able to gain more weight before surgery but for the little fat I did have Ortega did a great job. My butt does goes numb after sitting for awhile or sitting on a hard chair. I would love to go for a round two but I don't think I will ever have the fat or the $ lol.

Looking great! Loving the results!
Thank you!
Hi great results! I am 5"6 and 110 lbs. can you send me your exact diet? Because I have the same as you hard to gain weight. Thank you
All I did was add an Ensure to every meal and try to eat as much as possible. I wish I would have gained more before going in but I only had one month to do it.
Thank you
could you post updated pics? :)
