Can't get comfortable!
LolitaMay 14, 2014
Now that I have been completely off the pain pills for a few days my insomnia is back in full force. I move from my bed back to the recliner to the bed again trying to get comfortable.
If I lay in the bed too long I feel like I begin to swell. While in the recliner, my ribs and areas around the top of the garment feel bruised.
It's 5:00 a.m. I climbed back in my bed but this garment is beginning to make me feel claustrophobic and anxious. I am going to take it off for a bit to see if that helps.

are you still pleased with your results? did you have to have any additional fat grafting done? how long did it take to be pain free?

Sadly, the doctor did not do the lipo I was charged an extra $5000 for. I just went for a follow up and they quoted me $9400 to redo it with a tiny bit more fat grafting to the upper poles. He focused more on grafting the side boob area (which I did not need at all) and it only created a very large lump of fat below my my armpit. He was paid to lipo this area- not add more fat.
When I balked at paying a second time- and such an enormous amount- they came back with $5000 without the fat grafting. I reminded them I already paid this extra $5000 and I should not be charged again because he did not do it the first time.
I am disgusted by the unethical measures and lack of integrity he and his staff have resorted to.
On previous follow up visits, Dr Sadeghi admitted to not doing the lipo on the bra fat roll, below underarm areas and my upper abs for various reasons that made absolutely no sense whatsoever.
On my last follow up two days ago he tried to say he did. I reminded him of what he told me and pointed out the new fat lump and then he tried to deny grafting fat to the sides as "he never does that." I reminded him of our 4th pre-surgery consult where he said he wanted to place fat on the sides and I said I prefer him not to do that because, as we discussed in each of our 3 prior consults (with a mutual friend as a witness), I wanted him to lipo and sculpt the front under arm crease area and all of the side areas where the fat bulges from my bra. Each consult he said "No problem. No problem."
I also had an issue during recovery with some stitches getting infected and his nurse refused to call in antibiotics for me because the doctor was on vacation. I now have lumpy, wide scar tissue as a result.
I told them at this point I have lost trust and would prefer a refund of the $5000. I have not heard back from his staff.
So now we are at the point of me hiring an attorney to sue not only for the $5000 extra I was charged for the additional lipo, but my attorney is going to add in pain and suffering, his fees and court costs and the cost for new surgery to correct the lump that he created and do the work he admitted to not doing.
As for the pain, it was not excrutiating. I highly recommend convalescent in a recliner as it is more comfortable and make it easier to get up and down.
if you can afford two weeks off of work, I would recommend it.

Stitches out
LolitaMay 13, 2014
I had my second follow up doctor appointment today. He took my stitches out and described his technique to shape my breasts during the lift. He said I had a good bit of scar tissue from capsular contracture and he was able to remove it. He then had to fold in my breast tissue to support itself and fill in the hollow left from removing the implants and scar tissue. He then came in and sculpted around the breasts and shaped the upper poles with the grafted fat. They really look so good in person and I am very happy.
The silicone mastopexy strips and epi-foam I ordered came in this morning right before my doctor's appointment so I applied those this evening and will keep you updated on my progress.
