OMG, Excited, Nervous and Anxiously Waiting for my BBL W/Schulman...- New York, NY

I am sorry that you are experiencing such hard criticism. This is your story and I do appreciate it. Don't let people discourage you from documenting your journey. You hv people out here that are praying for you ;0)

Thank you for detailing your journey. Yes plastic surgery has its risks but I don't anyone goes in thinking it will actually happen to them. Some doctors have a higher rate of incidents the others but if the details of experiences like yours are not shared then we have no REAL look at the risks. I hope you have no lasting complications from those burns and they break quickly and without scars.

Hey Sis I want you to start to focus on you... You shouldn't have to feel obligated to show pics of your burns to anyone you have nothing to prove you can show all the proof in the world you just have some people that are judgmental and will always have [RS bleep] to say they like confusion and they find the smallest thing to make big with no regards to anyone else feelings.. I battled with having a TT because of the scar and I get acne from time to time and go crazy with my skin imagine getting a scar u didn't intend on having and nothing seems to be helping I would feel outraged or however you feel I cant see what people are trying to force you understand!!! You tried to improve your physical appearance and ended up with unwanted burns "NO DEAL"!!!!!

I think some ladies may ask you for clarification because they have upcoming surgeries and are scared. I thank you for sharing your story and I believe your story is important. The reality is when you write a review it opens up for criticism or a debate. I hope you are healing well and you won't have any scars in the end.

I pray ur skin heals and ur not in ant pain.

I can't tell from the angle of the pic which part of your body it is. Where's the burn located? Looks like it's healing fairly well. Can you use cocoa butter or vitamin e on it?

Thanks for your very informative posts and detailed account of your journey! Lipo burns are not as uncommon as people think, check out hourglassbbl -she has great tips on what they are and how to deal with them. There is a story from 150mmlover which is truly eye opening. Everyone should know the risks of this surgery!

I hope you get better Hun the burns go away.

I just came across your post, and like yourself I encountered several liposuction burns. I had no problem whatsoever posting my photos simply because I've always openly disclosed every detail of my journey, so this was nothing different. Till this day ( and I'm two days shy of being 3 weeks post op) I was never placed in my Columbiana faja, because Dr. Cortes had been carefully monitoring my back. He careful not to apply anything constricting on my skin that could cause further problems. I underwent debridement this past Sunday with him , and he stitched the burned areas closed. It was a painless procedure(due to lidocaine injections) and the areas are already healing, and itching like crazy! My burns never hurt, no they weren't pretty,nevertheless they NEVER hurt. I'm just thankful to have a surgeon that has been on top of my case from day 1. Not only did him and his nurse travel to my hotel to see and treat me, but I've had several follow up visits, and he texts me requesting to see photos of various areas to make sure my healing is progressing. I signed a 28 page release form that detailed the risks, and possible complications of this surgery. Therefore, I can't get mad. What can I say? [RS bleep] happens,and it happened to me, but my outcome far outweighs my burns. Please stop by my page and look at my before, and afters. I encourage all of you ladies who are waiting for your sx dates to arrive to mentally prepare and educate yourself on the downside of plastic surgery. Lipo burns, embolism, pneumonia, are just a few complications that can occur. It's just a reality. I weighed 274lbs on my day of surgery, and my procedure lasted 8hrs15mins. My worst issue was by far was abdomen swelling from my tummy tuck. My boobie reduction & lift wasn't painful whatsorver. Would I select my doctor for future procedures? Unequivocally YES! With ought a doubt!!!! He did an amazing job with educating me about the pros & cons, told what he could, couldn't, and wouldn't do. He's went beyond the call of duty to make sure that he has done all that he could possibly do to remedy my situation. At the end of the day that's what matters most to me.

I have been following your journey,and I am sorry that you are going through this. I am sending healing prayers you way. Take care,keep your head up & thank you for posting ((hugs))

Yeah... There are alot of scaring that takes place in DR and doctors here. People get these MEANINGLESS "Real Friend" titles and it goes to their heads. Please HAVE been burned by him (my friend here) and that is why I am choosing not to deal with him. You have to explain yourself to no one. Lipo burns are not common but these are clearly lipo burns in some areas. Everyone's body is different. I can give you a number to call in Chelsea right now to verify my friend's burns. This is 5 months post op. So it depends. Dr. Schulman is great but the results vary. Heal well... Some ladies need you here so don't allow ANYONE to question your journey you paid for. This forum is free and is of free speech. The whole twist is... you never said one bad word or anything about Doc Schulman and sounds to me you & him are working it out. What else is there to understand? Heal well love and I will be watching your story!

Hi hun, hope you're healing well. Sorry this had to happen to you. It's a shame that we spent so much money trying to look good and confident just to come out with another issue that's worst than the previous. I'm scheduled with him for August and now I'm extremely scared :( Hope everything works out for you. Thanks for sharing
