After first round of fat grafting
It's been 8 weeks and I'm doing well. My doctor said that the surgery isn't as simple as just fat transferring. Once you are healed, he has to go through the scar tissue that has formed and add the new fat. Right now, just waiting to see how much fat survives. Either way, I'm one step closer to a full recovery. My God is good and I appreciate Dr. Viennas, Carol and Nakia (his staff) for their true dedication to this profession.
5 days after fat graft
Well, I'm 5 days post OP and I'm recovering well. My doctor and his nurses (Carol and Nakia) are amazing! I just can't thank them enough. Dr. V is awesome. As the hospital staff said, he's very "meticulous!" Now, I'm just waiting for the bruising to go down, stitches to dissolve and to see how much fat actually takes. He harvested the fat from my back so I have a more contoured look. Right now, I can't sit on my butt so I'm laying on my sides. I go for my follow up this week! Also, he only gave me two days worth of narcotics (exactly what I needed). He don't play with abusing prescription meds. I just love him! For all of you going through this, there is hope... just don't give up!
Finally!
Well, it's been a long minute. Previously, I wrote about my issue with seromas. Long story short...In April I had an outpatient surgery to rid of them. The left side was perfect, but the right side still formed another seroma. I then had another outpatient procedure in July to rid of the seroma on the right side. I had a drain for 3 weeks. Once the drain was removed, a small seroma formed. Once he aspirated it, I've been good. No more seromas, FINALLY! The dents are filling in on its own a lot. The doctor said it's not new tissue forming. He said it's my body "leveling" during the healing process. That's a good thing! I've been using Embrace on my scars. I go back in two months. That's great considering I was going every 1 to 2 weeks to get the seromas under control. The key is to keep the area compressed at all times (except when showering) and to rest. Don't be doing a lot of moving or strenuous work right after you get the drains out. This is very, very important! Nonetheless, my doctor is genuine and patient. The way he approached my issue with the silicone and the persistent seromas was perfect. Him and his staff are the absolute best, hands down...no complaints!
