BBL, Tummy Tuck Scar Revision, Lipo on Arms, and Lipo on Whole Back - New York, NY

Lol. You are hilarious. I already went but my stomach still feels ill. I stopped all pain meds, they have me feeling scared and [RS bleep]. I feel like I have air traveling all in my stomach. I have been passing gas and I have been walking. This is deja vu from when I first had my tummy tuck and was told it was imperative for me to pass gas and poop before leaving the hospital. This is not the case though, could be the meds. I'm so done with perc.

Yes they will clog you up like weave caught up in a bathroom sink!!! Gotta be careful with that. I hate that feeling, I've been there before. Just continue to get up a walk around to move it out.

Thanks for the tip

Basically it's the same; one butt cheek is ok but the other is not, it needs more fat. Now that most of the swelling is down you can see the results. They are uneven and in need of more fat. I'm definitely getting a revision. I keep hearing about this Almonte doctor from DR. I'm going to research her work. How about you, have you decided? Do you have pictures on your page?

I am having a virtual consultation with dr del vecchio. I plan on booking with him for end of August/early September. I will document it all! No pictures currently. I am sorry you are uneven. It is so frustrating when we spend all this money and are so excited and then our results are not what we expected!!! Dr del vecchio does amazing work. I wouldn't go to the DR girl! You are better off going to Miami to fisher or hasan!!

You are absolutely right, I shouldn't even be thinking about going to DR. I heard about Dr. Del Vecchio, he seems to be really good. He is on my revision list, in fact, he is on the top of my list. One thing I know, I will definitely have the revision surgery this January. I just feel so depressed because I thought I would have the nicest booty by now. I worked crazy overtime at work to save up the money and used three different credit cards. I put all my hope on Dr. Taranow. He delivered with my arms and tummy tuck scar revision but not with the booty. The whole situation is messed up because he truly is a caring and cool doctor.

I even deleted my Facebook page because my depression has taken over and no one there knows about my surgery so they can't relate.

I make almost triple my husband salary so he can't help. I have to start all over again. But one thing I know, I will not endure this for longer than 6 months.

Please keep me posted as to who you will have the surgery with, where, and when. Oh, and like you, I also have lupus, discoid lupus to be exact.

I totally understand your depression. I really do. I am still paying off my last surgeries and have terrible results. Dr Taranow seems like a really nice man but who cares if the job isn't done!! What does he say about the unevenness? I would contact dr del vecchio. He does amazing work. I don't think they can lipo again for 6 months so January is probably the soonest. Hang in there!

Have you mentioned your unhappiness to dr taranow? what did he say about uneven buttocks? are you still considering him for revision? I emailed him through RealSelf for consultation and he personally emailed me back. He seems like a really great guy. Hopefully if you decide to go back to him for revision he wont charge you!!

Dr. Taranow says I have to wait to see the results. I think inside he's disappointed in the way my booty came out. He did three different procedures on me during one surgery so maybe he just got tired. He also said he put less fat on the other butt cheek because that one appeared to have had more fat but that's the butt cheek that does not look full. Luckily with clothes on, you can't really tell unless you are all up my ass. Lol

And, yeah, I can't get anything done prior to January. I contacted Dr del Vecchio and waiting for him to contact me so we can get acquainted and I can plan my vacation accordingly ahead of time. In July or August I have to submit my vacation request for the next 6 months.

I told him I wasn't happy with the BBL, he said give it more time. When I texted him about a revision he said we have to wait 6 months and that he put every drop of fat he got from my back, arms, and tummy into my buttocks. He also told me I had loose skin and that we either had to add more fat or cut some skin off. I placed a photo of what my ass used to look like before the tummy tuck scar revision but after the tummy tuck. I think I had loose skin. I was evaluated by Dr. Sadeh before my surgery and he told me I had a great ass, I just didn't go with him because I had already left my deposit with Dr. Taranow. I had called his receptionist to try to get the deposit back as I had left the money prematurely on our first meeting, and first plastic surgeon meeting. Dr. Taranow called me from his personal cell and basically convinced me to stay with him and so I did.

I have an appointment with Dr. Taranow in two weeks and we are going to have a frank discussion about my BBL. He will let me know if he will charge me or not for the revision. If he decides to charge me, I'm doing it with someone else, if he'll do it for free then I'll stick with him.

I love the results on my arms and tummy though. I have no complaints on that. I read some reviews on him after I had the surgery (should of done it before), that read BBL was not his specialty. I'm starting to think they were correct. I don't have that perky booty. I told him from the very beginning that I did not want a big booty, just a lift because my booty went down after I had a sleeve done in 2014. I lost about 80 pounds but you wouldn't notice unless you knew me from when I was thicker. All I wanted was just a form on my booty and not one that looked flat. Now one booty is up while the other one is down.

It breaks my heart because I feel I developed a relationship with Dr. Taranow and now for me to tell him straight up, "I don't like the work you did on my booty, can you give me some of my money back or do the revision for free." Technically, I can't do anything because I signed all those papers in his office which basically protects him incase something goes wrong. I won't do that to him though because #1, I am a very kind person, and #2, he's a kind person so I'm just going to see what happens. If I lost the money, I lost the money. I'm just going to make sure it's repaired in January.

I'm sure he is disappointed. He seems like a nice guy. Oh so he did put less in so that explains it. I'm glad you can't tell in clothes. And maybe it will look more how you want it to look in a couple of months... Never know

I hope so

Just saw this post! You sound better. I am glad your spirit is better!

Keep me posted on what you decide to do. Don't eliminate Dr. Taranow because of my BBL, everything he did on me was more than great. Just have a clear understanding with whoever you choose to do it with.

That's good advice! I will keep you posted. I will be following you and your progress!

Thanks for that

I sent you a private message, I'm wondering if you received it?

Yes I responded!

Oh, yes, sorry. Funny, I didn't get the notification, like I had to go into my profile to view the response. I will reply there.

Btw you're scar looks great I'm hoping for similar results mine is wide

I have been sleeping mostly on my belly but, also on my sides. My stomach hurted only the first day but after that it was all good. I sleep on top of soft pillows. That will help you out a lot. Plus I was on Valium and percocet so I had no troubles sleeping at night. I also think is the way they sow or stitch you up after surgery. Honestly, my tummy doesn't hurt at all.

My scar was horrible before Dr. Taranow fixed it; it was very asymmetrical and I had pouches of loose skin on the sides where the drains were and one side was inner than the other. It was so terrible, I never even took a picture because that's how much I hated it. Dr. Taranow really fixed me up and honestly, I was so surprised he was able to fix it. It really takes a talented surgeon to pull something like that off. I hope you see similar results. Good luck!

what doctor are you going to? I'm interviewing doctors for BBL

If I get a revision BBL, it will be with Dr. Taranow. He explained to me that he literally used every fat he took from my arm, stomach, and back. My thighs were not on the contract but for the revision they will be. I'm starting to warm up to how my butt looks. Some of the swelling is going down and in January, Dr. Taranow can just finish what he started. And I'm sure he will give me a good price for it.

In order for that scar to be fixed, he's going to have to cut around it.

Just make sure you get yourself one of those cheap pillows that are thin and soft, you will appreciate it. Trust me, an expensive hard pillow will be your worst enemy.
