GOOD NEWS ABOUT SEROMA

Sorry I haven't been around, I have had a lot on my plate since taking so much time off. Still paying off my credit card and it has been hard. No regrets though

Good news, my seroma has started to reabsorb FINALLY!!!!! ATTN ANY FUTURE DOLL WITH SEROMA: aspirate that sucker til you can't get anything else out then wait a week or 2 or until you're a month or so postop. I had it drained and drained and drained til we couldn't get anything out but some old dark blood. I still had the fluid wave for a week and half or so after that so I was panicking thinking I was gonna have to see a PS in my home state. Everything I searched on rs was doctors saying basically "you are so stupid to go out of state" and "you are gonna have to do all these expensive procedures" and worst case scenarios to every girl who asked about it. I did read that seromas usually self resolve in 4-6 weeks if you drain them... so that gave me a little hope... then it happened for me! It went from being a fluid wave about the size of my entire hand to being almost nothing and now is maybe a quarter of that size. So any doll who is panicking now, just chill out til week 4-6 lol. Don't be like me and make yourself miserable and stressed out. Just get drained. And if youre an out of state patient... have a back up plan and find someone who can drain you.

I have to say it is suddenly like a dark cloud lifted and I feel good about the surgery again. I was feeling depressed before and... not exactly regretful but still kicking myself for going out of state for bbl. Now that I am better I feel good about it and I think 4k for BBL with an excellent surgeon was a pretty damn good deal lol.

Other than that: my booty has shrunk slightly I think and there are small dents now. They aren't a huge deal to me and I still like my butt. I think I do however have that classic case of booty greed. I have turned out to be the typical post bbl girl in every way. Now I am too superstitious to say "lmao" too LOL I have had to stop myself a few times because God knows I do not want to laugh this ass off.

My stomach has started looking much more even since the seroma has shrunk and I am veeeeery relieved. The lipo overall is even. I am just not happy with the fat left behind on my waist and that is why I'm still considering round 2. Outside my garment I'm not completely happy but in my garment I look pretty darn good esp considering my starting point. What I wanted was to look and feel good naked so I am still gonna be greedy and go for another round I think.

posting a few quick but not great pics for the pic hungry, sorry about my bathroom mirror lol. i will post more w before pics later too i'm just very busy and stressed but that's life. hope all u ladies are doing well

1 month postop

Hi dolls

Not much has changed but I figured since 1mo is a milestone I would update.

I started to rapidly get less numb and needed ibuprofen for awhile because the aches were killer. It settled down and now I feel pretty good without pain meds. The only place I'm still numb is my lower back... some guy had his hand on my lower back the other day and I didn't even feel it or know it was there until I looked and was like NO SIR.

After surgery, I developed 2 seromas. One was smaller on my right side and has resolved on its own. The other on my left side was much bigger so I had to get repeat needle draining. Each time the amount taken out was less and less which is a good thing because it means it's at least not getting worse. But as of today I still have the fluid wave and the last few times we tried, we were unable to get any fluid out. It is hard to say WHERE whatever fluid is left in there is exactly without an ultrasound machine. Sometimes I feel depressed about it and worried that it's going to create a deformity, but I haven't gotten to the point of desperation where I'm going to doctor shop for someone around here to put a drain in. If the seroma still doesn't resolve within the next month and we still can't get more fluid out by needle then I'm going to go see a doctor and consider letting them extort me for another $1k for a drain. Until then, I really don't want to deal with anyone's bitchy office staff not letting me speak to a manager because they don't understand the word "seroma" or telling me that a doc won't see me because I had the surgery with someone else. Or dealing w a doc who doesn't know jack about seromas but is willing to wing it on my dime... and overall my strength to deal with ignorant office staff is about -100 right now for real.

Even though I have been depressed about the seroma, I am pretty happy with my results. I love my butt and pray every day it doesn't shrink anymore... it is natural looking and round and I love it. My back looks smooth and I look 10x better in clothes. The naked me still needs work bc the stomach is lumpy but the back rolls are goooone and I'm very grateful for that.

Thinking back to meeting with Hasan when he told me I was big I was kind of insulted, but when I look at my before pictures now I'm like... maybe I was kind of big. I never felt like a "big" girl but I had a lot of hip and gut going on. Hasan removed almost all my hips, but there's still a pad of fat around my waist that has become more obvious as swelling decreases. I don't doubt he removed the max 4 liters so I think that's just the way the cookie crumbled... To get rid of all my love handles, some fat was left on the waist. I would have preferred less waist fat even if it meant more love handle but I think Hasan is very anti-love handle as his main aesthetic.

Even while I am dealing with a complication, I have been thinking of doing the one thing I said I would not do which is getting a round 2. The thing is I don't have that much fat left and the fat that I do have left I don't want taken out (thighs and booty). I have been considering maybe having my arms done since they look proportioned larger than my body now and then getting the rest of my waist fat out. I am conflicted on whether I would go back to Vanity. On the one hand I don't feel like I could get a surgeon the same quality as Hasan or Fisher where I live and definitely not for the price. On the other hand having a complication as an out of state patient is horrible and now I know how risky that was to do because every other doctor will resent you and punish you financially for not doing the surgery with them if you develop an issue postop. I am also currently undecided as to whether drains would be that important of a factor for me in a round 2 since I wouldn't be getting as much fat out and so wouldn't have as much risk of a huge dead space like what I have now after getting so much stomach fat removed.

Soooo I think that's about all there is to update on for now. Crazy pumpkin is praying for a seroma miracle and considering round 2.

Seroma

I had my seroma drained yesterday. It is already filled up again today. I read that the more you drain it the more likely it is to go away but there are some stubborn ones that require bigger drains and surgery and I'm praying my seroma isn't as stubborn as I am... If it's not treated it can also form a capsule made of scar tissue that prevents it from being reabsorbed by the body and causes deformity...

So I had a major surgery and this was a known potential complication. All things considered I'm still doing well. My butt isn't really swollen anymore so it looks smaller but the shape is beautiful and natural. Love my back. My stomach looks a mess at times but sometimes I get glimpses of how it might look when healed up. All that said I would be lying if I said this didn't bum me out and make me worry. I'm about ready to get back to normal life and this is just one more thing.

I will say if I ever do a round 2 bbl... Which I said I would never do but who knows if I'm not happy with my stomach I might break down and consider it... If i ever did it, I would probably go to a doc who uses drains. Yes hasan is a great sculptor and yes my incisions are already healing subtle/beautifully but that's just my opinion, I would rather minimize seroma risk as much as possible.

To my dolls who travel out of state for this, have a back up plan. Know ahead of time what your options are in case you get seroma. Some docs in your home state won't see you or touch another docs patient due to liability, others will try to capitalize on your misfortune n overcharge you. I am fortunate I have some medical professionals in my family to help me... Just be prepared if u need help back home. I was too idealistic and naive to consider this before my own sx.

My credit card was stolen and had $500 charged to it fraudulently and I'm just kind of in a bad mood lol. I'm taking my pics down for now. I will put some back up later in a side by side before and after when I'm 100%.

I just want to say I love u girls, you are all so brave. Thank you for supporting me and helping me through this journey and i genuinely wish u all the best, all the confidence, that all your dreams come true. I'll keep u posted on my water balloon problems.
