Finally...... - Miami, FL

I have updated my review to state that I dont think it was worth it. I had lipo with bbl in Feb. While my BBL is on point, I feel that more fat could have been removed from my sides and back. Dr Llorente said he had reached the maximum amount he could remove however I do believe I had more than 4liters of fat on me (see before pictures). The wrinkles on my stomach were not his fault. Aftercare is non existent. New Life gives the same post op instructions to all of their patients, they are not specific to the procedure that you had. They placed me in a faja that was too big and it created a wave pattern on my belly that later turned into fibrosis.

So tomorrow I will be 1 month post op and I can say that I am feeling pretty good most of the time. I am still very stiff in the mornings and I notice when I bend forward my lower back feels very tight. I am still sore on my sides and in one area on my butt. So far I have had 9 lymphatic massages and I started doing my own massages earlier this week twice a day after massaging with arnica oil. I have had my garments altered once and I wear my foam and ab board most of the time. I still have lumps which I am being told is normal but my concern is the creases in my stomach. Does anybody know if these are permanent? I know my doctor told me he recommended a TT but I didnt want to hear that. I am beginning to think I am going to need one to get rid of this skin :-(.

I am now 23 days post op and I am getting frustrated with the swelling and the lumps in my belly. I am trying to stay positive. I have swelling just about everywhere the faja isn't covering. My ankles are even swollen and I am wearing support socks. As far as the lumps go, I had been getting massages every 2-3 days and my last one was Tuesday. I bought my own massager to help cut some costs but I am not sure if that will be enough. Any suggestions? I am starting to get discouraged,,
