Almost 3 months post op
Just a quick update .... I'll be 3 months post op in 4 days.
Measurements:
Bust: 29" ( natural - no implants ...yet lol)
Waist: 25"
Hips: 42 "
Current weight: 145-147 lbs
Tummy tuck: my scar is completely healed and did not keloid so I'm happy about that. I use the silicone scar away sheets and mederma night therapy scar treatment. I'm working on trying my best to fade the appearance of the dark line (incision) and dark patches on my belly button and lower abdomen from post surgery trauma bruising that left these dark patches that I've mentioned above before. I'm walking and standing completely straight since 6 weeks post op. It's not extremely painful to laugh or cough anymore only a little sore/ some discomfort if I laugh to hard.
Belly button: my belly button is small and cute. Castro advised me to use a marble to stretch it out , I prefer a small belly button so I used a bead instead to give it a nice little round shape during ur healing process and swelling it tends to want to close up and the depth and shape changes. Using a bead helped my navel keep its form. **I only did this once stitches were healed and Castro/duran gave me the ok to do so*
Lipo: I did not expect the Lipo to be the worst part of this journey. But it is !! I still have swelling in my abdomen when I'm not wearing my faja or some garment to compress my waist. My skin feels raw and sensitive to the touch. I've recently spoken to one of my surgery buddies and she also is still experiencing swelling . I'm not getting massages as frequently and plan on starting to again because I think they really help with the swelling and I still have some hard spot near my incision scar. Recovering from this Lipo is so irritating.
BBL: I absolute love my results and I'm extremely happy with the size and projection. I'm constantly complimented and my results seem natural. Duran did a great job. I noticed that at around 5 weeks my mesurments stopped fluctuating and remained at 42" from that point on. On the down side tho ... I definitely did loose volume in my hips and they don't have that rounded curvy appearance as they initially did. I had fat transferred to fill in my hip dents but some just did not stay ... specifically on my right hip/buttcheek area , it's not noticeable in clothes but is noticeable when I'm naked and bothers me. I also have small dents 1 on my left cheek the other slightly larger on my right. Not sure if I caused it from maybe not sitting properly or if it's just fat loss in those spots ( again not noticble in clothes or pictures) but I can definitely feel the difference in shape when I rub my hands over each cheek. I do want to get a round two to correct these areas. Things that have helped me maintain my results are using my booty buddy( even past 6 weeks post op to be safe)when driving and sitting , I prefer it over her boppy pillow because absolutely no pressure is put on ur butt and it's prevents ur butt from touching ur seat.i bought a back bord that helped create an arch in my back and control all the back swelling that was preventing me from seeing my results. Also as soon as I could sleep on my stomach I did to give my butt a rest from all the pressure from sleeping on my back.
Pictures coming soon...

Provider Review
Plastic Surgeon
Av. Independencia 1061, , Santo Domingo, Distrito Nacional
I love my results! Duran is great at shaping bodies, but she is extremely hard to reach when booking ur surgery and doesn't provide detailed aftercare instructions. Overall I'm happy with the results and liked her honesty when discussing realistic results.
