Something went wrong!! Developed abscess

So I've been Mia. Just checking in to give an update and seek advice and feed back from others. I'm 1 month and 2 days out of surgery. I had a bbl with lipo of the arms, abdomen and back. The pain in my arms it's unimaginable! The swelling has my arms feeling like a rock. As stated above I developed not one but two abscesses. One closed up the other has been oozing for 10 days now. I called my Ps. He ordered antibiotics for me. The oz didn't let up. When the fluid changed from yellow to green I went to the Er. They gave me a different/stronger antibiotic. The abscess seems to be drying out some. Now the ooze is running clear. Did any of you ladies go through this? I'm feeling like this surgery was a complete waste. I don't look or feel sexy.

I am traveling from out of town. I spoke with Dr. Perry personally on the phone. He seems warm, caring and knowledgeable. Additionally, I spoke with Nadege from his office. She has been friendly, Polite and helpful. This far it has been a good experience. I feel comfortable. Dr. Perry is amazing! I felt comfortable with him from the moment I spoke with him on the telephone. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions and concerns. When I met him, he made me feel very relaxed with his warm persona. Dr. Perry has great bedside manner. He shows concern for his patient before, during and after the surgery. He's not all about the money. He wants you to be happy and healthy as well. I appreciate it.

As with any surgery, there can be a few hiccups. The abscesses will heal and you'll begin to feel sexy again. Where did you get the abscesses (I can't see the picture).
Thank you MsYo for your compliment. The abscess appears on my right butt cheek. Dr. Perry has been a gem through all of this. I'm from out of state. He is in constant communication with me. He's very professional.
He's definitely a great person and caring doctor. Don't think I'd trust anyone else with my body.
How is your recovery going?
I'm recovering very well. I keep up with my massages, because I had aggressive Lipo in a lot of places. The more Lipo you have the longer it takes to heal. So you (we) have to be patient. The thing that I like the most is that I look natural.
Ok. I was able to see the picture now. It will heal and the antibiotics will help. I've had it happen before with another surgery that was not performed by Dr. Wendell. It will heal and you'll be as good as new. You're looking GREAT!
How are you feeling??
How are you feeling? I pray all has healed. I would love to see updated results, your 1 month post looks great!
I'm feeling great. The entry sites have stopped draining. They've closed up. I lost allot of fat on the right side. Revisions are necessary.
Looks like you caught an infection at the entry wound it happens keep it clean and watch it. It is too early still for final results. Your body is still healing. I did have a question you had lipo on arms? I don't see you wearing anything on your arms and are you wearing your faja?
These things actually shape the body.
I've been Mia for a minute. The Dr advised against the garment for my arms. However, I purchased arm fajas and find it helps with the swelling.

Extremely Satisfied with my New Body

Dr. Perry gave me back my confidence. After giving birth to 4 children, I watched my body change over the years. I have tried every fad diet, diet delivery program and diet pill on the market. I still wasn't getting three result I desired. Lo and behold a friend told me about Dr. Perry. He has changed my life by giving me a beautiful Shape this boosting my confidence and self-esteem. Dr. Perry has an eye for sorting out curves. He is a gentle man who listens to the concern of the patient. He has a dry sense of humor but I appreciated it. He had genunine concern for me during recovery. His assistant Nadege was so helpful throughout the process. She is so fun yet professional. I feel like she is family now. I'm satisfied with my results. I can only imagine it getting better as the swelling goes down.

Thank you so much!!
Results are extremely impressive when before and after photos are taken just days after surgery! At that point your still swollen. As the swelling goes down you begin to question where your ass is.

12 days post op

Today I am 12 days post op. I got Lipo of the arms, stomach and back. Additionally, I got a Bbl. I am satisfied with my results. Each day gets better and better. I'm feeling very good. My only complaint right now is that my arms are still swollen, bruised and stiff. Time heals all wounds. I was impressed with Dr. Perry's beside manner, professionalism and dedication to his craft. His assistant Nadege is so warm she seems like family.

Do you have any pain, and if not when did it go away
Thanks for asking. Believe it or not, there was discomfort not pain. I was able to manage with over the counter tylenol only. I didn't take the prescribed pain medicine.
