Update?
So, firstly, how is the pain/swelling now?... I am still quite sore and swollen around my waist and my lower back, also a bit behind my thighs and back. I would say more of sore on my back. And with swelling nd soress comes pain so yh still some pain and sometimes alot of pain but nothing unbareable. I dont take painkillers much anymore just when i feel i need it(tryibg to give my liver a break!!). I am now going about my life as normal, somewhat. Not excersising yet tho cuz of the pain.
Results?... Welll with my butt, everyone who knew me before my surgery noticed my butt is bigger and beautiful, and everyone else i go past, stares or gives me complements! :) i love how it looks and my hips too. not huge but perfect enough to look great and attract attention lol.
Tbh i cant tell if there is much of a difference on my waist because i am still swollen there and due to that i have some irregularities on my tummy due to the swelling which im told will go away once im healled.(hopefully)! So im not judging my results yet and im not obsessing over it as i know i am not fully healled yet! Besides i honestly always had a small waist and tummy.
I can defintely see some difference in the contour of my body especially my back, looks great!
Now, the faja problem.... So the faja burnt me so badly that it pealed my skin on my waist and left this huge disgusting ugly scar for me to look at everyday. Because of this i dint wear my faja for about 2 weeks till today.! I did wear my latex waist trainer some days. Again im not allowing myself obsess over the scar as im allowing myself time to heal rather than go into depression too soon over this. I really hope the wound heals well and the scar fades significantly. Though with how bad it looks i dont think the scar would dissapear but over time hopefully! Yh its that bad il put a pic up. Sigh..
Dra Medina has continues to check on me atleast weekly, sometimes more. Over all i do feel more confident in my clothes and generally.
So far, im ok with everything except the burn :(... And the remaining pain and swelling should improve over time as ive notice i feel better every week. Letting time do the work.
HOLD ENOUGH MONEY!!!
How i survived the long trip back home? (13 hours)
to summarise, take something to help u sleep, use a lot of pillows, drink fluids regularly and try to take walks every hour or so and book wheel chair assistance in advance.
Provider Review
I gave this doctor all 5 stars based on my own personal experience with her. If you read my threads/review, you will understand why. To summarise; from start to finish everything was well organised, from the pick up from airport to journey back home. her clinic is perfect to an international standard, the staff were all kind and professional. She was patient, caring and kind. She dint treat me like a patient but like family and till today she messages me on Whatsapp to check on me. So yes i am happy with this doctor and would recommend. She is beautiful, safe, professional, honest and great at what she does.
