TT W/MR, BL/BR in 2013; BA & Thigh Lift in 2014...and in 2015-posterior Lower Body Lift - Santa Monica, CA

I can't say enough how thrilled I am with my new booty!! I had an allergic reaction to the tape used, which was a bummer but easily enough fixed.
Postop has been fairly easy, more discomfort than pain. Doc told me to take it easy and I did…for me. My drains were barely draining & I got them out at 6 days postop. Since I was not in any pain & I felt good, I went back to most of my normal daily routine (except the gym). Walking around & car rides did make me sore, but I still was not in pain. Well, all that activity made me develop seromas in my legs where he had undermined the skin. At 11 days postop I had to go in & have them drained. He told me to lay down & keep my legs elevated. With the exception of yesterday (I had a full day of work) I have been in bed with my legs up, as directed. It seems to be doing well & I cleared my schedule so I can stay in bed for the next 3 days, legs up. Hopefully Monday there won't be anything to drain!
I am ecstatic with my new little booty & can't wait to get back into the gym to squat & lunge without feeling all the extra jiggle!

I am thrilled with my results so far!! I'm not getting around as good as I had hoped I would be. My TT was awful recovery, normal, no complications, but awful. My thigh lift recovery was a breeze. I expected this recovery to be more like the thigh lift, since there's no muscle repair.I'm still draining what seems to be a lot; I'm hoping to have them out by the end of the week...we shall see!

Today I had my first postop visit, 3 days postop. Pain pump was removed; I think it ran out last night & I haven't had any increased pain. I have started tapering off the pain meds. During my visit I took off my compression garment & WOW! Once again, Dr. Z's results are phenomenal. My butt is not lumpy or pointy. I am very swollen especially over my hips & my tummy. The scars go a little further onto the front than I expected, but Dr. Z knows the results I want, so he did what he had to do. I am happy with where the scars are; they are the same in the front from my TT & I'm pretty sure they'll be low enough on back after they settle.
The only real problem I've had is the dreaded constipation...UGH! This happens to me every time with anesthesia & narcotics. I'll spare you the details.

Anyways, I'm excited to see what the next will show of my results. I'm thrilled with my results now & I know it will only get better! My next challenge...restraining from going back to the gym & start squatting to build the bootay!
