Dealing with haters!
WORTH IT$12,000
I have a question for all you dolls. I have a very good friend whom I consider more like family that since surgery has been acting more like a hater than a friend. Recently I went to her daughters party and after zeeing some girls I havent spoken to in a while the first words out her mouth were "so how was recovery?" I felt very offended because I never mentioned to her I had surgery. I just told the truth because I felt put on thr spot. Also my "friend" has made comments like "you can tell you had surgery because you look fake" and "of course she has had surgery, do u think she got her body from the gym?"
All of these comments make me believe she is jealous. Am I overreacting or am I correct in feeling a certain way? And how do I deal with it? Thanks ladies.

Wishing this swelling would stay down!
So I really havent been posting that often because honestly besides swellinh I feel feline. I really have no complaints. I am still going for my massages regularly but even with that, I still suffer from swelling which my dr said is normal for up to 6 months! Ugh. Cant wait for that to happen. I just got back from Puerto Rico and I didnt know how to act with a bikini lol. I'm happy with my results for sure.

Are you using anything to help with your scar? You look great, by the way!

hi...
i heard mederma works very good, but you have to wait at least 2 to 3 months post surgery in order to use it... the incision has to be completely healed before you start using any type of treatment for the scar, otherwise, you run the risk of dehiscence of the incision.

Hi yes I am using a gel called New gel+E I got from Amazon. It has helped lighten up my scar. @juanis84

hi!! you look amazing!! what I like the most is that you look very natural and not the stereotypical crazy small waist and huge behind... great work he did on you... the swelling is going to come and go for a very long time... i did my sx almost 7 years ago, and when i do not wear my faja, i swell up...
you have to remember that when a tt is done, the lifting of the skin on the abdomen to tighten it and suture the muscles together disrupts a lot of nerve endings and blood vessels, unfortunately, a lot of those do not regenerate... thats why you have that swelling...
and on the contrary to what the surgeons here say, keep on wearing your faja, specially when you wear loose clothing or you are going to be walking for a long period of time... it will help with the swelling and it will help you keep that gorgeous figure for years to come..

Thank you so much, I also love that I look very natural which is what I wanted. I am learning to live with the swelling lol. I wear my faja as much as I can except to sleep because I move alot and its very constricting.

I was never able to wear it to sleep, is very uncomfortable!!!
When I started working nights I gained about 20 pounds, which I'm working on loosing now. Going to go see Dr Yager for the Exilis Elite treatment that he offers. It is supposed to help. Will see!!
But you look awesome!!

Wow!! You look gorgeous!! I'm having my TT on 10/4 with lipo to my thighs too. I am much older & my skin has lost a lot it's elasticity. I will be excited to see the results. Keep posting updates!!

Thank u, good luck with everything. It's definitely painful but so worth every pain. Are you doing it with Dr. taranow or another surgeon? Either way good luck.

I live in New Orleans & I'm using Dr. Khoobehi. He did my neck & lower face lift. I can't wait to get it over. How long did it take for the swelling to go down before you really notice a difference?

Honestly it comes and goes. In the morning im flat as a board but when i walk and do chores and things like that is when I swell up the most. The dr said that can last up until 6 months.
