Scar tissue revision
Soooo, today was the big day! I was scheduled for 9 am, I was given a 2mg Ativan to take by mouth about an hour before my procedure, which I did. Sitting in the waiting room I was starting to feel the effects of it, even though I still felt super nervous about being awake for the procedure.
So, Dr. Shanklin comes in, decides he only
Needs to go in on one side down by my hip through my old lipo incision from last time, he used some local for that (didn't really hurt much) then he makes the incision which I didn't feel .... but then .... I feel him starting to put a cannula in to inject the tumescent fluid, and this was pretty uncomfortable, not excruciating pain, but uncomfortable, the force required to shove the cannula into me started to freak me out. Then he let me sit for about 10 mins for the lidocaine in the fluid to kick in .... this was actually kind of nice, I was warm and tingly while it set up.
He came back and inserted the cannula in and started taking out small
Amounts, it didn't hurt terribly, but I was in my own head about how much force he had to use and what if the cannula made it to somewhere that want numb etc. But really, the pain was definitely tolerable, only took him about 15 mins to break up the scar tissue and remove a little fat where I had some unevenness, they put an ABD and some tape on me and I got
Dressed and left, no pain at this point, and was just told to take Motrin or Tylenol, I got home and took 800 of Motrin and slept the whole day !! Guess the Ativan did get me !
A friend of mine was having a Botox party the same night and I had been looking forward to it, so I woke up and was surprised that I was in 0 pain, so I went and got some
Dysport and came back home. Well now 10
Hours after the Botox party and about 20 hours after the procedure the pain is getting worse, not excruciating, but I may call in the morning to see if he will write for me something stronger to have to next couple days. Also I have be weirdly nauseous all day, not miserable nauseous, don't know if that's related to this since I haven't had any drugs that would cause nausea, my stomach could just be irritated from me taking too
Much Motrin, because I have inflammation in my stomach and my GI told me never to
Take NSAIDs again.... I'll update more later !! I would like to add that Dr. Shanklin and his crew are amazing... he's given me
Lymphatic massages, thermi treatments, done a revision of one lipo scar all at no
Extra cost to me and im so thankful for his dedication to perfection! Anyone in the south east should go see him at coastal
Empire plastic surgery!!!!
