I'm super excited and nervous at the same time. My surgery is Dec 22, I need to know has anyone else experienced liposuction with Dr. Clava? I am having the procedure done in Miami, Fl. I need some help from whomever has had this procedure before, like why to buy to prepare for after this procedure.

He was recommended to me as well. I find it weird that he doesnt have any reviews on here. I went to his website and it looks like he does pretty good work. I would love to hear from some of his bbl patients.

I am having lipo with him also but I am going to met him first and talking with him .i am flying to Miami on September 26 to meet with him. I know he is certified and has experience. I did my homework I am an investigator for the state I reside in for 15 years so I will ensure all my questions are answered

Diva1200, how long are you wearing your garment daily? I was told 2 months, but I'm afraid my bra rolls will not be gone by then, everything else is looking great and flat, but those stubborn rolls are still soft. Wait until I post my pics on the 22nd. Just curious
January 16, 2017
I wear my daily 24/7 and I had to get a small one after 3 weeks and tomorrow will be 2 months and in purchased a spanex one piece .to wear during the day for the next 30 days . I feel naked now without something on my body. I am still swollen in my lower back area. Send me your email and I send you my pics
