Healing Process

Everything is looking so much better! Had my first massage and thought I was going to die lol i was super sore for about 3 days. Hopefully I'll be ableist to start them again next week. Here are some more pics. As you can see my breast is in it's final stage of healing. I might want a scar revision if it doesn't lighten up. As for my stomach it's much smaller and not as deep. I have been cleaning it every day and using the pressure of the shower head with antibacterial soap to wash away any dead tissues. Seems to be helping. Hopefully this will be closed within 2 weeks. I go back to see Dr. Ortega on Monday.

What can I say, im still healing from the compromised areas. Dr. Ortega removed the had skin and now I just have to take it one day at a time. I have good days and I have days im super overwhelmed and depressed. Even though I'm going through this I am still so very happy with my results. Im very grateful for how Gaby and Dr. Ortega have treated me. I know I have to take this one day at a time I keep remembering that IT WILL HEAL. I have very little pain. Im still very swollen in many areas. I never wake up completely on the flat side due to my complications and by end of day im extremely swollen. I have been walking straight and back to my normal life. All I am hoping for is the OK from my dr. So i can start my massages!

He explained everything to me in detail! Im very glad I decided to go with him. I almost go a reduction and a lift when all I needed was a lift. He taped up my boobies and showed mr exactly what they would look like. Day of surgery he came to talk to me, marked me all up and made me laugh a little right before surgery! Follow up appointments have been every other day due to minor complications. Surgery at Imagenes was awesome as well the staff was great. I had no payment issues or any misunderstandings with them nothing compared to the craziness that i was put through at Vanity Cosmetics
