So I am 4 days postop today and i am feeling a whole lot better...not 100% and definitely having the most trouble when i sleep but feeling better during the day and not taking too many pain meds anymore...I will have a challenging day today with orientation at my childrens school butnit will be good to test myself. I am in love with my projection and lower back curve...Dr. ortega did an amazing job on my butt...the swelling in my back and abs is still very real but they look so much better already. I already knew thatbi would need a tummy tuck afterwards but the results of the lipo only make it more obvious....so far im very happy with my results....I hope once the swelling goes down the remaining rolls on my back will go away...did anyone else have that happen (the rolls went away once the swelling was totally gone? Ladies tell me what you think abiut my results and any suggestions to help get my waist and back to smooth out more or faster?

Nice! He did a pretty good projection on you! He didn't do as well on my projection. But I'm still pleased SO FAR. Wishing you a easy breezy recovery.

Yes he did do well with my projection... I was actually surprised by how big it is ...I am not sure if it will stay that big but I love the shape so I am fine even if it loses volume. My stomach is getting flatter but my back still has some rolls that I think will get better since that is where I have most of my swelling ... Your back and belly is still so amazing! I can see about the projection but remember you still have to wait for the "fluffing" that everyone talks about. My belly is getting flat but I have a lot of lose skin that I knew needed to get removed so I'm not really worried about my stomach since I still need a tummy tuck...I just need this swelling in my back to go away!!!!!

So im 2 days out of surgery...bbl with dr. Ortega. I am really liking what I am seeing. My back is starting to smooth out and my stomach is getting smaller. I will start using lipo foam under my garment today once i get my massage and the therapist helps me put it all on. I think ortega did a great job and I cant wait until phase 2 when i get my tummy tuck and breast lift to finish the job.
