31 Year Old, 4 Kids, and a Well Deserved SmartLipo - Miramar Beach, FL

Let me start off by saying I have been stalking this site for years. I didn't think I would have the courage to write my own review, but here I am. Well I'm a mommy of 4 beautiful kids, 2 11 yr olds, a 9 yr old, and a 4 yr old. All delivered thru c section. I've always been on the thick side but as soon as I started having kids the pounds just added on. This last pregnancy really did a number on me. I literally had this belly that never went away. Don't get me wrong I love to munch out but I still shouldn't look like I'm 13 months prego. After convincing the hubby to be ok with me going on a journey to a mommy makeover I started researching what doc to go to. My Kids pediatrician recommended Dr. Velilla of Evolution Md in Miramar, Fl. Booked my consultation. I had my consult with Cecilia. Let me tell you she is such a cutie pie. She's super sweet and answered all my questions. She suggested smartlipo 4liters only on full abs. Later on smartlipo my back flanks and arms, and finally a much needed tummy tuck. I completely agreed and about a month later gave paid for my stage one surgery. One thing I found weird was that I met the doc the day of surgery. I didn't mind cause honestly this man has a really good Rep and his staff is amazing. On July 14th I went in at 9:30 am for my smartlipo. I was soooo nervous. I was given a cocktail of pills to relax me and once they kicked in I was loving life. I swear I was cheesin so hard my face was hurting. Velilla and Zayas were both working on me and it was great. I literal was laying there and forgot that they had even started. There was a few times were I felt like a needle stabbing me and I twitched. Velilla would immediately stop and add more anesthesia. They showed me the 2 full containers full of fat and I was in shock. Once they were done 2 girls came in and put the compression garment on me, walked to the back where my mom and hubby were waiting and went straight home. I was feeling pretty good when I got home. I thought I would be in fetal position crying with pain. My compression garment was completely soaked and was nasty to sleep in. Next day I went in for a follow up. Velilla suggested not wearing my garment for a few days because of the bruising I had. Right after that I went to my first massage. Holy crap I was not prepared. It was beyond painful. And to think 9 more massages to go. By Friday I was given the clear to wear my compression garment, tabla, and lipofoam. Went in for my 4th massage and this time it was with a lady named Ana. This women is the best. Her massage was so much better then the last chick and I drained like crazy. Went in for my 5 th massage and was told I needed a smaller garment. I was super excited to hear that. Also I haven't been wearing the lipofoam or the tabla. I feel like a robot with it on. Everyone has seen results in my procedure. I already got my quote for my stage 2 and I'm trying to get my deposit in. I really wanna do it ASAP. I didn't take pics myself but the docs office did. Once I get them I will upload them.

Ok so I haven't been able to go get my massage in 3 days and the lower part of my belly is super hard. I rub it for a min or two all day long but doesn't seem to help. Scheduled for my 6th massage tomorrow. Hope this hardness will go away. I got my new compression garment today in a size XL. Yes I'm that big. The first one was a 2x so I'm happy I went down a size.
