Sorry for Delay

Hey guys, I know some of you were anxious to see my pics. I apologize for my absence. I have a very hectic work schedule. Anyway, It has been a little over a month since my procedure and I am still healing. This is definitely not a quick heal process. I started getting lymphatic drainage massages which are a little painful but very rewarding in the end. I have had two sessions thus far and very pleased. She also puts you on a detox regimen to give you better results. I opted not to do a tummy tuck which would have been ideal, but I am still happy with my overall shape. I'm still getting used to it. I only wanted to get transfer to my butt but looks like she put some in my hips also. I am religious about wearing my garment and need to get a size smaller now. I have started a workout regimen that is mainly weight training since I don't want to lose the fat that was transferred. I still have numbness in some areas and the scars on my back have healed, I am now do scar treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Lacerna if you are looking for a true hourglass shape. In all honesty, I wish I would have lost at least 15-20 lbs prior to my surgery and my results would probably be better but I am still happy with my results. This surgery was only the beginning of my transformation, now it's time to get healthy. Again, I am sorry for the delay. I only have 2 pics for now. Will post more within the next few weeks.

Mixed feelings

CuriousBeauty
These past few days have been an emotional roller coaster. Well the results weren't exactly what I wanted but, I'm trying to be patient and wait until the swelling goes down. I have tried to not look at other people's results just so I wouldn't compare. I really wanted a lot more projection then what I got and I have been lying on my stomach for the past week just so I don't mess up what I do have. Well, I will just keep my fingers crossed and hope this swelling decreases and I see the results that I wanted. Thus far, I'm not happy with the projection and the severe swelling in my abdomen and back, but I will be patient.

Sorry to hear that you aren't happy.. They say it takes a few months for the swelling to decrease .. You went to Dr Lacerna?

Yes, I went to Dr. Lacerna. She is very nice and very skilled. It's looking better now but the swelling in my abdomen is horrible. Just trying to be patient.

Thanks for the encouragement, time definitely makes a difference. I wish I had a little more projection than what I got but I look A LOT different now then when I got out of surgery. I think the first 2-3 weeks is the most trying time, emotionally and physically.

How's everything going? I thought about going to her, but I want a very slim waist.

She is good at contouring your body. She gave me a very nice hourglass shape. I am still very swollen but I can still see a nice shape. I believe she can give u that slim waist.

She has more pics at her office. I see her every 2 weeks now. But initially she saw 2 days after my surgery. No, she was not the one who did my wish pics.

My first bbl was with the same Dr. Lacerna 2 years ago. The results were very bad.

Sorry for what happened. I initially was nervous about what to expect but I have also learned that everyone's body is different. A few days after my surgery, I was regretting the whole thing and wondering what made me do it again. My results are not perfect but neither was my before body. I look a lot better then what I looked like before. I know how you feel but I hope that you had better results the second time around.
