If You're Considering Dr. Schaffer DO IT!!!

OK...so I haven't posted pics in a while. I promise that they are coming. I had a few complications that prolonged my healing so I had the JP drains for 6 weeks! I had an accident the day my drains were scheduled to come out. I guess I was so excited when I was getting ready, I accidentally cut one of the drains when I was created the slit for the dressing around it. Long story short...within the drive to the doc...the drain tube went completely inside my body....(HOLY CRAP!!!!!). Dr. S remained professional and on the spot performed a mini surgical procedure to retrieve the drain and did not charge me a dime! And this was MY FAULT!! Not mention, each time I come to his office, both his staff and him always greats me with a smile and he gives me a hug when he walks in for my exam and when he leaves....WHAT PS does that....EVERY TIME!!! Now, he does have some ways about him but this come being a PERFECTIONIST and thats what you want when spending your hard earned money!! I look better than I did in my twenties!!! This man is the KING of tummy tucks for sure!!! Not only have I earned a great PS and no kidding if I ever move....I WILL FLY BACK to Dr. Schaffer for anything else I ever need done, I have a genuine professional FRIEND!! I LOVE YOU DR. SCHAFFER!!!!

Thank God...again...another good day. Arnica gel has definitely helped with the decrease and scarring and breast massages every two hours already has these boobs feeling like they've always been there! Gave up the walker and moving very well. Pain meds have cut in 1/2 almost not at all. Just waiting to get these damn drains out!! Based on levels...Im certain next doc appt, this will happen!!! As long as its before my wedding anniversary (12/20) :PP. PS: I love being on the flat side lol!!!

Have you had any pain or burning sensation near the drain incision?

I have had slight pain near the drain incision. I noted that if I remove the dressing and reapply the silva cream and new dressing, it goes away. Make sure sure you use peroxide and water when cleaning around there. Good luck to you!!

Slight pain and burning but truly bearable and I have a low pain tolerance.

I don't have any dressing near my incision. My PS told me to keep it clean, apply ointment, and add a gauze but omg anytime I pull my panties over it, its so irritated and burns but drain only outputs about 10cc if that

WOW!! I'm sorry to hear that Mommu_0f5. The ointment/cream I used ws prescribed by PS and reconfirmed of great tool used on burn victims in OR and severe bruising/scaring by the private hospital I stayed overnight in. It's really working. "Silvadine". I don't have

I don't have any dressing over mine either. It's in my upper thigh (guess that's the area it's called). Actually I now have no dressing on anything. And I'm 8 days PO. My insist on is itching me oh to death. I don't even have ointment to apply to anything either. It's the craziest thing.

Oh ok mines is in the front of my pubic area so imagine anytime I pull my panties up/down the pain I'm going thru. I'm 5 days in and barely even a drop of fluid is coming out unless I accidentially tug on it. Are you boobs still getting engorged?

Hey Mommy_Of5, seems like the engorgement is going away too. The only thing still bothering me thats noticeable is the lipo on the hips. I went to church today...I've been watching tons of make up tutorials on You tube....I'm truly doing GREAT!!! I am thigh still faithfully taking my Rnica, Brohmelin and the post healing vitamin packs I bout from makemeheal.com. In a bout a week, I plan to buy the Oleeva brand silicone scar tape because its one large one that covers from waist to waist and you apply it once every 30 days...reads great reviews on this flattening and clearing incision discoloration.

Hey Queenb, I just wanted to thank you for all your posts. They have been sooo helpful!! I can so relate....so far. My procedure isn't till Jan. 21st. I'm so happy about your progress so far and I hope the rest of your recovery goes smoothly. :)

You look great. I want the drains out too. I hate them. I'm 8 days PO too. No massage yet they told me too soon. But maybe that's because I want the "fake" look. Who knows.
