My emotions were all over the place at first I can’t lie to you I felt like dr mallol made so many mistakes in terms of customer service but I think I was just in pain and homesick. It’s a HARD journey but I just wanted to update pics 2 months post op. I can see the figure coming out, and I had problems with a seroma on the top half of my stomach. But I got it drained twice and I’m waist training so it’s basically gone. I’m still swollen ALOT, but I can definitely see a crazy good figure. Mallol is a beast I love the results so early in. Ive just got the ok to go to the gym so trying to lose weight now seriously. Anyways I’m rambling. Here’s me 2months post op..

You look amazing, I am in the process of researching Dr Mallol. How was the recovery house and how long do you have to stay in the DR before you can fly back to US

3 Days Post Op

It’s getting easier but it’s still painful. Swelling is a [RS bleep] but I’m looking to move up hooks on my faja cos it’s starting to get loose on my back which I don’t want. BRING YOUR OWN PAIN MEDS!!!! The stronger the better. I would have died without it the prescriptions from Mallol are [RS bleep] and will not make an ounce of difference. I’m basically putting my faja on and off now by myself and tryna be a lot more independent which isn’t too horrible. I’m about to get my first massage today and have an Appointment with Mallol today too, I think the appointment is first. Haven’t seen my scar on my tt or my belly button, everything’s still taped up. My butt is still swollen but I got a slight picture today when I went toilet. I’ll upload pics by 1week post op hopefully. My arms look even bigger than they started before the lipo but I can see I’m still bruised and swollen so not rushing to conclusions just yet. The back pain is the biggest [RS bleep].

glad your doing sort of ok. do you think the tummy tuck hurts more or the lipo? and did you buy the ab board?
LIPOOOOO all day. the lipo is the biggest [RS bleep] of all your back is so flipping painful it’s ridiculous. tummy tuck is sooo irrelevant compared the the lipo honestly. & no I didn’t but I saw a few girls from the us wearing them so gonna buy when I get back, and thank you, I feel so so much better now
I’m happy you are doing better, I’m going to him in April and I’m so nervous
hi I am going to Mallol in August with my friend from the UK , and I am worried about the pain Meds cos in the UK it’s not so easy to get pain meds. what pain medication would you recommend?

Surgery Day

So my bad guys my date was actually 2nd March all along. Only had 2 hours sleep but boy the more recovery time I can get in Dominican Republic the better.
I’m one day post op now and the pain is not a joke. I can’t even explain to you the severity of the pain. It’s like I was stabbed 100 times and everywhere hurts. I’m here with my friend which helps with the company and makes me feel better that we’re both cripples but the pain is no joke. Laughing feels like you’re blowing up your stomach.
The hospital had a “emergency room” on the ground floor. It was a mess it was cramped and unhygienic, had live wires coming out of the wall and overflowing bins. Once you get to the 4th floor where mallols office is, it improves a lot. The surgery room was kind of bare and old but it did the job. Dr mallol did not give me a blue pill, they sedated me with an injection and then did the epidural but I wasn’t asleep. You need to bring gloves, cos the nurses don’t have enough at the hospital and will reuse the same ones they’ve used on other patients. Mallol is lovely, he was very reassuring, and was there THE WHOLE WAY through the surgery so I don’t know where people get the idea that his assistant does it. His assistant is there and is also a doctor but Mallol is always there too everytime I called doctor he replied and was reassuring throughout. I am swollen like a [RS bleep] and the pain is no joke. My back is numb but so painful at the same time. The faja doesn’t want me to breath Jesus Christ I can’t wait for the swelling to go down just a little bit. I haven’t really seen myself outside of my faja other than to poo but the swelling won’t even allow me to see any shape. My bum looks like an elephants ass it’s overly big and swollen but hoping it will go down soon so I can see things better. Got an appointment tomorrow with doctor Mallol so hopefully he likes how I’m healing. BTW jasmine his assistant is really pretty and her body bangs. Her bum was done by Mallol.
I’ll try and update tomorrow properly when the pain is not so excruciating
