Hello ladies,

First of all thank you for sharing your experiences, they super helpful! I am super anxious and nervous about my surgery next week. I am 5'9, 153 pounds. So far all I think is about this surgery and I can't wait until is over. I am traveling to Miami next week and my doctor is Dr. Ortega. If you ladies have any advices please feel free to send them my way. (I will post before photos tomorrow)

Well I cried after surgery because I felt bigger ! It was all swelling after a week it starts to go down so try not to focus on your body like I did and stress out because its not your post op body just swelling & lots of fluid… good luck it was not painful for me more a discomfort with this recovery. No sitting , no sleeping on my back or side and its too damn hot for fajas so have a good a A.C and relax… xoxo

Hes doing a BA & BBL at once? Girl if you had surgery before you know what to expect .. I was at work 8 days after my bbl 2nd day at Hooters. My friends say im not normal.. My BA 2 weeks, back to work that actually was more for me.. They wouldn't do both of mine at once because when you do your breast 4 months till you sleep on your stomach. 4 weeks fill I sleep on my back with the BBl…

Where I saw Dr. Ortega they said I cant do both at once. I The boobs is a long recovery meaning the dropping & softening as well as the bbl.. Your gonna need lots of time off work girl abd definitely have someone to help you with two procedures at once.
