After first round of fat grafting

WORTH IT
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.

Hello. How did insurance pay for your fat grafting? I am getting my silicone removal surgery in 2 weeks.

Never thought about it. And thinking about it now, I don't think I needed one.

I am wondering if the puma was causing you health problems
Or if you had it removed because it might cause problems?
Thankyou

5 days after fat graft

Change1974
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!

You look amazing! Did the doc make you wait a year?

He waited until I was fully healed. Just happened to be a year.

Thank you! I had problems with seromas so he wanted to make sure I was healed from that. I had the initial removal surgery in Jan. 2018, a second removal/seroma surgery in April 2018 and another seroma surgery on the right side in July 2018. The wait seemed long, but looking back is was fast.

Finally!

Change1974
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!

Who is your doctor? I'm experiencing the same thing. I like the scar verses the long scar going across the back.
