My plastic surgery journey

Yesterday was the big day. I did ETT, Lipo to 11 locations (front, sides,back, bra roll, underarm ) BA/BL AND MR. he removed seventeen lbs of fat and skin!
after 7 in person consultations i chose Dr Parikh in Bellevue. I can't even say how great he is. I can't see my results just yet, but he was so kind and took him time every time i saw him prior to and at the Surgery, he came down to my hotel last night just to check on me
The pain yesterday (day 1) was excruciating. But today when I don't move i don't hurt. Only when i have to get up and walk.

Hi! First congratulations you look amazing in your recovery photos! Quick question did you use or offered exparel pain injections?
February 18, 2021
I had the exparel. With him you have to ask for it
February 18, 2021
With the exparel the pain was still pretty bad you think? Can you tell what I'm most nervous about?!?

Hi I'm having surgery in about two months with Dr. P I'm super excited, Did you request 11 locations be liposuction? I am having extended TT, Lipo of waist/hips and bra roll and a small fat transfer to right hip just to even it out with my left hip (symmetry) . I'm just wonder if I am able to get a few more places liposuction seeing how you had 11 locations. I understand there is a cost with more than what I'm already getting i figure I should consider it seeing how I will be under anyway. Anyhow I am glad you are so pleased with your results thus far, continue your healing and take care.

I just said i wanted a tummy tuck. He went the rest on his own with what i needed. I paid for a tummy tuck, lipo and breasts. He said he was going to lipo flanks, stomach and bra roll. Then the morning of when he was marking me he started adding all these other places he was going to do including axillary and above the butt and a couple more. I would just talk to him. He never changed my price as i was paid in full at my pre op. But my initial lipo fee may have been more. I chose my doctor before ever asking prices because i didn't want that to be a factor. So i would have paid whatever was needed I am struggling with a lot of post op complications which's are extremely excusing and emotionally taxing; but when t comes to the shape and contour of the body he blew any expectations or hopes out of the water. My breast shape and everything is everything i wanted. My stomach is smaller than i ever expected and actually have curves when i never have before. I'll add some current pics above to the review

You look good! What were your stats? I have surgery with him in 20 days. Any words of advice?
January 26, 2021
Unfortunately I've suffered from some pretty major complications (not his fault) and he's been great. I'm so thrilled with my surgery results. Make SURE you follow discharge 100% to a T. No showering! If you're doing the same surgeries a lift recliner and a Walker will save your lift lol. Other than that you'll do great!
January 26, 2021
Oh no! Hope you heal quickly. Thank you. I'm so nervous and excited.

Wow wow wow, you look amazing and are healing beautifully. Your waist is snatched and tummy is flat. Your breasts are perky and lifted . Your scars are perfect and I have no doubt with fade and lighten over time. What a transformation, such attention to detail. Your a lucky lady
