1 Year Post OP!
Almost 3 Months In!
I'm still scared to sleep on my back, so I sleep on my sides and stomach still. The most discomfort is my lower back. It still feels stiff and there are burning sensations whenever I lay on my stomach for more that 5 minutes. So when I sleep and wake up, before I get out of bed, I have to rub my sides and lower back to relax or wake up my muscles before getting out of bed, or it feels like I've ripped something when I get up. Idk how else to explain it. I use a heating pad 2-3 times a week to help with my lower back issue. But I am calling the Dr. Today to schedule another follow up appointment. The lines in my side (cannula lines) are less noticible, but my stomach is still a little bumpy and uneven. I still get these shocking pains in my back, sides and stomach as well, probably nerve regeneration. #Prayingforprogress
All in all I love my shape, the size of my ass and my hips. I hate that I'm still in pain, sex isn't without its repercussions, and the appearance of my stomach is bumpy/ lumpy/ uneven. (I'm told it's part of the process so I'm not stressing it as yet, just updating you all on my recovery!)
Update!
- Lymphatic massages are a must!
- Protein shakes/ bars etc., are mandatory.
- I'm 2 months post op with 4 months more to go, 6 months for absolute recovery right?!? Stay calm ladies & take care of your bodies!
My skin is finally relaxing - in a sense. Everything was super tight, stiff etc. after my massages I'm finally feeling a little relaxation in my mid section. My left cheek is sore and tender, must be the areas where the fat was transplanted / cannula injected. Idk - but it gets sore. Butt massages help!
Provider Review
Dr. Del Vecchio is a true artist and a professional. He is a confident man, and he has all right to be. His technique and results are much to be desired. My overall experience has been positive. Now, phone / email responsiveness might not be your idea of excellent, but in a prominent and popular practice as Uptown Body Contouring/ Back Bay Plastic, expect busy! His staff is very attentive, personable, and caring - PEGGY you're amazing. Dr. D made an excellent impression on my husband, mind you, my husband wasn't very fond of my decision. I am confident in his work, I will say that I truly believe he worked his magic on me. My waist is snatched, my arch is clean, my stomach is non existent, however, I didn't expect 3100 CC in each cheek nor such wide and high hips, my ideal look was much more subtle with a more natural drop. We discussed my wants & I know he worked towards my expectations. Dr. D explained the survival rate (30%-40% will not last) and timing expected in order for everything to fall into place (6 months to 1 YR) so I have a few months before my expected results come to life. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. D & am looking forward to all that he has blessed me with.
