Wow!!! You look fantastic lady! I am booked June 20th with Dr. Hanabergh and I am so excited yet very nervous. Is there anyway you can give me any tips on how to prepare before and after surgery. I am going to be staying in Anita's recovery house and don't know how or what to pack, did you take Arnica supplements before and after surgery, how long was recover truthfully? Sorry for all the questions. I have to go to work a week later to I need to know what I am in for. I am also have my under chin lipo'd and being on my stomach the entire time I Am unsure how that's going to work. Lol also did you get a bbl pillow? If so what kind and did it help?
I am a Hanabergh doll. I am extra pleased with my results. So my first suggestion is don't over pack. I did. I gave stuff away. He didn't give me any stitches and no removable drains. You will more than likely be walking around the house with your faja and a robe on for the duration of the stay. My SX was April 5, I'm not sure what house you are going to be in but make sure you have your female urinal and wipes to clean yourself with. Also the bathroom in my room didn't work so we had to shower and poop in another room. The food is okay, by day 5 we were in an Uber going to get regular food. I didn't get a bbl pillow, I used a boppy. If your package doesn't include it you'll need foams an ab board and side boards. When you go for your first couple of massages you'll probably have on your faja. The massages are he worst... I'm not going to lie, they hurt more than the SX but so far no seromas. I had to be drained with a needle 2x before I left because my drains closed and my therapist couldn't reopen one. That is an excruciating pain, but no pain no gain. I healed too fast. I had Tylenol PM, you might want to take one Percocet before your massage. I packed 7 dresses, underwear for 7 days night gowns, jogging pants - my suitcase was light. When I got there I went to Walmart and bought so much stuff that I didn't need. I'm trying to think. Anita's was okay, but we only had one person there throughout the night so if something happened like when I needed to go to Walgreens in the middle of the night because my stomach was cramping, hey tried to put me in a Uber:/ Not sure if you speak Spanish but if you do it's a plus. I don't so there was a slight language barrier. I went to work 2 weeks later. The arnica lotion and gel are good afterwards. I'm not too sure about the arnica tabs. If I can think of anything else I will let you know.
Thank you so much! You are a life saver!!!

So... I am staying at Anita's and I do not speak Spanish. It sounds like I got the same package as you. What all came with the BBL package? I am also adding on under chin lipo as well though... does anyone seem to notice a huge change after surgery?
I stayed at Anita's. They have 2 houses. The one I was in was interesting to say the less, but I wouldn't trade my experience for anything :)
How much is Dr. Hanabergh deposit ? (If you don't mind)
I put down like $500?
If that
I am having bilateral thorax and abdomen liposuction with a breast reduction on May 29, 2017. I love your posts and am hopeful I will have similar results. Do you have any tips for getting through the recovery process? Thanks!
I am having lipo on my flanks, upper stomach, and back (bra rolls) done but have yet to set a date. I had read your review previously, but it came up in my feed and I reread it. You look so good. I hope my results are similar to yours. If they are, I'll be over the moon! Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Thank you so much for all your updates! I just had my procedure done yesterday - full abs and flanks. I am sooooo sore. But can already see a big difference. Hope I am as happy with my final results as you. Please keep posting and sharing your progress.

I've already mentioned how happy I am about this decision but it has gotten even better with time. Best part is that people sometimes think I had a BBL because my butt looks a bit bigger Only thing I beat myself up about is eating badly often. I try to work out to enhance the results, so far it has been going great. Love love love it!

Looking good girly!!
Thank you!!
These results are amazing!
About to post some more! Best decision ever
I am considering using this doctor. What would you suggest?
Wow I seriously was low key thinking you did get a small bbl (your butt looks amazing) I love your results this doctor seems safe been reviewing his reviews and I'm leaning more towards him
Thank you so much! My fave compliment of all is about my butt
woah! you look amazeballs. please don't eat terribly because food/unhealthy lifestyle is the reason you got on the table in the first place. Try making healthier versions of junk food like instead of pizza from dominos you make pizza out of cauliflower.

You look great!!! Are you still getting your massages and if so can you inbox me the name/ phone of the lady from Colombia who was doing them? What does the doctor says about your swelling this far out? I'm having mines next week and I'm trying to get as much info as possible. Thanks
Hey! So excited for you!!! I am so happy I did it and I hope you will be too. I had the massages with Arianna at new life. She was really good. Where are you having your SX?
I'm having my with Dr Salama. I'm scheduled for this Thursday but I just developed a terrible sinus infection. My primary put me on antibiotics so I'm not sure what is going to happen this Thursday . I'm nervous but I'm ready to get it done! Do you have a number for Arianna.
Sadly I don't, I went directly through New Life. I was sick less than week before my surgery with a sore throats and a cough. I didn't get better til 2 days before. Hopefully same goes for you!!! Keep taking supplements (:
