I Have my 3 Kids, Now Time to Fixed What They Destroyed - Miami, FL

1 day post

1 day after my surgery

$3,900
Surgery wentt great, everyone was so nice, was joking around with my drs the whole time. Pain was bad when I woke up more so in my stomach area, took about 3 doses of pain meds the same day about 8 hours apart. A day later and I havent took any pain meds and Ive been out and about walking around and eating everything, only thing that sucks is sleeping on my stomach I hate it.

Congrats on getting it done! You look great! Glad to hear pain has subsided
yea, I will say the draining is the worst part, it hurts so bad and they do it 3 times over 3 days and its gross
I thought Dr P didnt use drains??! I've heard the massages hury really bad but helps a lot with healing and getting the lumps/hardness out. Im still looking for a place to do the massages when i get back home after
I went in and the guy rubbed and massaged my area with some lotion stuff, then squeezed the fluid out with his hands, it came out the lipo holes, it was a lot but there was a big difference after, so as much as it hurts Im looking forward to the next 2 sessions
I am so excited that it went great for you! Did he tell you how many cc's that he put in each?
No, I emailed them but I havent got a reply, but I was only 145 when they weighed me and 5'3, so I didnt have a lot of fat just enough to give me that natural looking butt I was lokking for.
I gained 10-15 pounds since I sent in my pictures for consult. smh. I'm going for the somewhat natural look too. How are you now?
Good, I didn't realize the liposuction takes so long to heal, from 6 months to a year, the pain is just a numbing tingling sensation which is cool, but my lower back. flanks, and stomach is still very hard which is normal until you heal so I wont see the actual results for awhile but I can say so far, I fit my fashion nova bottoms a lot better and im now a small in lingerie and feels so good not to have sides hanging over.
I already know having the patience until fully healed is gonna be my problem. Are you still getting massages? I heard that helps soften the hard areas and speed up healing a bit
not yet, I gotta look into some massage places
I'm glad to hear that everything went great! Those massages will soften the hardened areas.
You look great! I’m scheduled with him in November. Thanks for sharing. It’s helping women like me
Your welcome

Im so excited, I used to have a really nice butt...

Im so excited, I used to have a really nice butt since I ran track all highschool, but 3 kids later my butt has totally dropped and spread, so now Im turning to Dr. Palladino to fix me back up, cant wait 9 more days. Ive read so many good reviews on him, plus his nickname is the magic surgeon or something like that.

How many CCs you put into?
I dont know but I will ask when I see him tomorrow for my last appt
I am curious too. I was thinking 800-1000cc each cheek for me, but I've seen 1500cc each that doesn't look huge too and I'm afraid I will lose some volume
I havent forgot you guys, I just sent the email requesting to know the amounts used so when they get back to me I will let yall know
