Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Here is what you need to know post op
You're going to be miserable!
Yup. Pure misery.
Laying on your stomach that has just been lipo for the sake of your new bum.
You are going to drain. Bleed so much for a good 24 hrs. I did not have drains because Dr. Alvarez does not use drains and to be honest, it's the best method. Let your body do what it needs to do on its own. My friend used drains and got an infection.
I drained for 24 hrs, then I urinated everything else out. I was in the bathroom every hour. Your body will do the rest.
You will need arm strength to pull yourself up. Going to the bathroom every hour belive me built muscles in my arms. Pushups for days ( I feel for those getting bbl and arms lipo)
Now, I did say you will be miserable as hell. Don't just stay in bed. Move around go outside and get some fresh air. You will go crazy if you stay in bed.
I went back to work a week after surgery. No point of being home on my stomach.
Arms go numb from sleeping that way. I have tingling in both my hands.
Itching!!!!!!!
Get ready to itch. You know if you have ever had a yeast infection? That itchiness you just can't scratch? Well, that'sounds how your torso will feel. You will be irritated as hell. Get your Benadryl because I have warned you already. The itch can make you cry.
What else do I need to let you guys know. Try to find creative ways to not have to lie on your stomach. I have sectional couch and my boyfriend split themy in half just enough for me to put my butt in between the space, so I can eat and watch T.V like normal people lol.
My butt
It's only 1 week and it's big. Looks like I've been doing squats for 20 years. However, its hard. Although i heard in a month it gets soft. My torso is shrinking everyday.
I will keep you updated as I am going through my changes.
