SX -Dr. Alvarez JAN 10 2017// MADE IT TO BOOTYLAND
Hello ladies!! I had my surgery with Dr. Alvarez one week ago today. I'm 5'3" and gained 15 lbs for surgery per my dr. SX weight was 160 .
I flew from SF to MIA a day before and met Dr. Alvarez. I continue to be pleased with his honesty about realistic expectations.
I had a previous tummy tuck and he warned me that he would work through the present scar tissue BUT to expect a lot of bleeding. BOY was he was right. I would've FREAKED out had he not told me that. He recommended a process called "Cell Saver" to reintroduce all the blood I lost. I had a little soreness but ZERO real pain. I am convinced that this coupled with the Make Me Heal Pre-Op Supplements I too 14 days before surgery played a MAJOR role in this. My SX buddy followed the same routine and presto...same, soreness but no real pain.
So far, I'm mesmerized by my frontal view...these hip curves are DANGEROUS!
My butt is still too swollen to tell.
I'll keep you ladies posted. ????
Pictures coming!
