I will be going back for a repeat bbl in the next few months. Unfortunately the projection I had did not last after the swelling went down. I want Dr S to go in and fill in some spots where the fat dissolved. Also, I had arm lypo and too much was taken off on my left arm which he will now fill in. I sure hope this is my last try bc I wont have any fat left to remove :/

At some point I will follow up with a TT. I had lypo to my tummy as well and it reduced a great amount however I was left with some loose skin.

That really, really sucks. Did he say what caused it? Is he charging you for the revision?

I did not find out about Dr. Schulman's bbl kit until too late so...I decided to get what items I thought I needed most. I have been using these dis-solvable tablets and ointment for a couple of days and I feel they work great. The combo really got rid of the major bruising fast. Not all is gone but a lot better than what I had before I started. Both products are natural and homeopathic so it is okay to take with your prescriptions. I have had zero side affects since I started. I highly recommend. P.s. most of the bruising is from the garment. Extra lipo foam will be needed. I hope to get some on my post opp appt.

So I cheated and took a shower last night...a couple hrs ahead of the scheduled day I was told. In my photo you can see lots of bruising, swelling and that lopsided/uneven butt your told about. My right side is rounder and nicer shaped than my left. I was so stick with a back rold but nothing like what I had before lol I hope everything takes shape sooner than later. Its so hard for me to look at myself and not think -why did I do this to my body. I know in the end I will have great results but my judgment is a tiny bit clouded. The pain is on a steady 5 out of 10. I am back and forth bet Motrin & Tylenol. The pain meds were making me too sick. I had a movement in the bathroom which was pretty normal since I have been taking stool softeners. The only thing that sucks is taking the damn garment on and off to wash up and "go".
