NO more Compression Garments, Bra's or Panties

WORTH IT$12,000
Hi Ladies,
I know it has been a while since I have posted an update. I have been traveling for work for months and finally last week I had an opportunity to take a 10-day vacation in Martha's Vineyard. I won't lie, I walked around in bikini bottoms or boyshorts during the day -- everyday!
At month 7- I thought I was close to being over treatment for fat necrosis. We'll the infection is gone as confirmed by my PS proxy and colleague Plastic Surgeon Paul J. LoVerme, MD, FACS. The good news it did not change the shape of my booty thus, I focused on recommended treatment of the minor discoloration of the skin [PRIM and Beaudreaux's Butt Paste (both are very messy) with a heat compress] and massage for the underlying remaining firmness. This is a slow process. However since it can easily be hidden by bikini bottom. It is par for the course for surgical experience.
After planning + recovering from my BL and BBL w/360 Lipo I finally began working out again today for the first time in 10-months. I plan to meet with a nutritionist next to kick off a 60-day jump-start my preparation for 10-day conference / vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mx.
Although,I am a solid size 8 -- I have a small frame and I would like to flattening my tummy and have to work on what I am putting in it in parallel with daily workouts.
I looked realized I looked great in my bikini I can do better by putting in some mental discipline and physical work at this stage of the game.

My first on September 20th 2017 office visit and cosmetic consultation with Dr. Bond was awesome! I drove into Montclair, NJ from Philadelphia, PA and I was late. I did call to notify her staff. Upon my arrival, Dr. Bond saw me promptly have photo taken immediately, took measurements, analyzed my skin condition, asked what I was looking for – I showed her a photo. From that point, she level set surgical expectations and outcomes with me and began drafting surgery preparation notes all while keeping me informed of her documentation. What I particularly appreciated about her efficient consultation process was as the physician she considered my time as valuable as her own. One of my biggest fears is that I would have to make multiple 1.5 hour trips to New Jersey to meet with her. At the end of my consultation I was convinced she was the doctor for me and we had a mutual understand of the procedure to be performed. After my consultation on October 9th I called Dr. Bond’s to schedule Brazilian Butt Lift w/ Liposuction Fat Transfer. My experience with Dr. Bond and surgical team was seamless at Clara Mass Hospital (Same day Surgery Unit) . Everyone (the nurses, anesthesiologist introduced themselves to me and their role as they celebrated my arrival to the operating room. After walking me through the procedure and setting expectation for the surgery again Dr. Bond began with completing the preoperative markings all the while having a pleasant conversation with me. Shortly thereafter I was placed on the operating table where Dr. Bond continued a conversation with me and rubbed my leg until the anesthesia had taken affect. Dr. Bond called my sister to give her an update on the successful surgery; my sister missed the call. No worries we called her office while I was in recovery to get the skinny and where all of our questions were answered to our relief and satisfaction. My follow-up visit scheduled for December 27th, 2017. I was told by the nurse Dr. Bond would be on vacation and available for my follow-up appointment. My first thought was this is a bummer. However, upon my early arrival at Dr. Bond’s office I was pleasantly surprised to hear she in the office and would meet with personally. Again, Dr. Bond saw me promptly at my appointment time of 11am. She removed the binder, foam, all of my bandages, sutures, assess, documented and discussed my healing progress with me. When I turned towards the mirror I was also happy with the early results. Dr. Bond took the time to answer all of my questions and concern for my next steps in the recovery process. Once again, this visit was thorough and efficient and in 36-minutes I was meeting my driver to head back to Philadelphia. Leaving me even further impressed with her professionalism and bedside manner. I would highly recommend Dr. Bond to family and friends for cosmetic services.

Wow you looks so beautiful. I’m contemplating having this done as well. Your results are stunning. Hope you had an amazing vacation!
Thanks, that is kind of you. I would say, yes find a PS your trust and do it!
Yes, my vacation was awesome. I'm working in Toronto this week and it is 60 degrees! Summer is OVER!
You’re so lucky that necrosis wasn’t an infection! I had a veeery similar experience and symptoms but ended up having that area surgically removed because it was a microbacterium infection. I have a scar there now and it looks much better but not perfect :(
Actually, it was infected in March. I really thought my Dr. Bond my PS would recommend to surgery to remove [I will have to read your journey] the necrosis as it was a huge juicy lump the size of a golf ball. However she did not think it was necessary and I had a second PS Dr. LoVerme exam me who also agreed a the topical medication Silvadene and 6-weeks on a oral antibiotic did a good job of eradicating the infection and follow by gentle massage of the area was the best way to go to avoid surgical scarring. So now I am in the final stage of healing and treating the out skin.
Wow! I hope I get half of that booty! Looking real great and I must say the best honest review I’ve ever read here. Thanks for sharing your story.
Thanks Amy, that means a lot. We're all in this together so I make an effort to keep my post 100 - there are no success story that did not have, have associated fears, concerns, contemplation, complication, issue, or in some cases buyers remorse -- in any case it is important we all to share each individual experience to celebrate the success and demonstrate empathy for others who journey may have a twist or longer road to healing.

Roll Call : 6-Months Post Op

I definitely love my new shape. Can't believe it has been 6-months. Everything has settled nicely. The great news is all of my clothes fit. Don't get me wrong that did not stop me from purchasing lots of new garments. My PS has taken a leave of absence and has referred me to her colleague Plastic Surgeon Paul J. LoVerme, MD, FACS in NJ. I have some concerns as my fat necrosis is almost healed but not completely and now I have to get to know a new physician for my 6-months post-op. Stay tuned!

Good luck to everyone considering body contouring.
