Failed BBL and Thigh Lift

I was motivated to Dr. Mejia after researching many doctors in the Dominican. I previously had a thigh lift and needed a very small revision on the left to just lift my scar. This man basically cut so much of my thigh and didn't cut me deep enough to even lift the scar not my vagina is hanging outside of my panties. I'm more worried about this than the failed BBL I have. He suggested this Maria E garment that turns your butt into a square my butt is fuller and still flat. He did not give me a shape at all then he called himself giving me hips. You will be able to see uneven lips and a so called hip on one side. I'm very depressed. He also left cheap dissolvable stitches in my skin that never dissolved.The stitches left my skin black. I went to 3 other doctors in the US that all agreed that he left the stitches in too long.

My son had open heart surgery at 7 months old. I was really concerned with his scars being just a baby. I did aot of research on topicals, I'm an engineer so I'm overly proficient especially in research. Check out scarprin. I think u have to get it on their site which I believe is scarprin.com. It has silicone in it which is the trick. Every follow up with cardiology always sparks questions from hospital staff about his scars, barely noticeable and he had a zipper chest. Step mom had both knees replaced and ordered it after my sons results. Not expensive, buy 2 get 1, think the total was around 100. We use it on all of hs toddler mishaps as well

I've have many surgeries, including my abdomen snipped. The other dozen and a half or so were due to a disease I had and complications, and my body looks like the Joker got to be or something from how many scars I've got. So I'm pretty personally experienced and, unlike doctor, have no medical reputation to maintain nor business to hope for. So I am unbiased and experienced from a personal standpoint. Sometimes incisions can take a year or more to completely heal and go down to thin lines. Your most recent incisions are how my tummy incisions looked at about the same time post-op. It's now eight months post-op and they really look great. Part of it also has to do with your own healing, and yes, different parts of the body can heal at different rates. For surgeries like this, it can take a year for full swelling to go down. I'm still seeing my belly shrink as the time passes. More healing than the skin has to happen. Your incisions really do look great. I know you were hoping they'd be thin little lines and all swelling would be gone right away, but that's not reality. You really do need patience. I know it's easy to panic and feel like you'll look "ugly" forever (I still worry like that when I have surgery), but please believe me -- you are healing well.

Listen don't feel depressed just go to walmart and buy scar cream for .88 or the maderma for like $18.00 they both are the same. Once you do that for an entire year you will see a great big difference. Chin up the worst is over.
