I decided to have lipo on my stomach area and breast augmentation by Dr.Ravi for my 30th birthday. I gained about 30 lbs in my first year of marriage and decided it's time to get back to the "old but upgraded me". First let me say from the initial email I was treated with the upmost respect! I love the staff especially Melissa! She made me feel very comfortable and dr ravi listened to my concerns and answers my list of questions. I scheduled my procedure after my birthday trip to Mexico. I was in constant communication with the office regarding my procedure and they took care of everything for me. On the day of surgery I was amazed at the professionalism and courtesy the hospital staff and Dr. ravi gave me! I even called Dr. Ravi the night of my surgery and he told me to come in first thing in the morning. I had a list of concerns and questions and he is very detailed and took his time answering. I am week 3 post op and have seen him twice after to check progress. I am in love with my new body. Dr. Ravi is amazing !!! Thank you for giving me back my figure.

Hi dear, I am considering Lipo as well. How long did it take to return to work? Trying to figure out how many days i would need to feel better.

It depends on your pain tolerance and the dr. I had lipo and breast done at the same time, the breast were not that sore so I could of returned to work comfortably within a weeks time if it was just my breast. The "breast pain" was minimal , it's just a minor discomfort and I was able to fully lift my arms within a weeks time via dr's approval. Still not able to lift over 5lbs.

You look amazing! I gained 30lbs as well, it gave me a big booty but...there's a catch! My gut came with it too lol. I'm getting breast augmentation with lift, and lipo to the abdomen region in March. I was quoted $10,300 and that's the cheapest in my area, travel is not an option for me :(

Almost 3 weeks post op

I am almost 3 weeks post op and I am still a little sore but nothing a massage can't fix and a nap. I take over the counter Tylenol to help with the discomfort. I am driving and running errands but taking it easy for the most part. I use mineral oil on my skin to massage, been doing this for years so why stop not. The stomach area on my left side is more sore than the right but it's expected. I just do daily massages and rest often for the best results. I use a electronic massager and sometimes my husband helps with his hands. As you can tell from the pictures it's a huge difference in the breast area and the stomach. I love it. Thank you Dr. Ravi!! Also will keep updating weekly.

Never mind I clicked on your profile and read it. Also for life long results I have adopted a healthy lifestyle pre n post surgery. I'm vegitarian and do not eat any processed food - no gmo's or alcohol . Since I've been resting I have had time to watch net flick documentaries , I highly recommend " food, inc" keep us posted on your recovery

hi everyone! I am feeling great no pain and back to my regular schedule! I am still not doing any heavy lifting. My Brest are even and looking good. My stomach is flat still a little puffy/ swollen but that is expected. I am still utilizing laxatives to make sure I clear out my system. I am also a vegetarian so sometimes the plant based/ soy products can cause blaoting. I am so satisfied with my post op results and can't wait to see the progress over the next weeks, months etc. please feel free to ask questions. My scar is minimal on my breast and healing fine. The glue and off a couple days ago. I am using bio oil on my entire breast and incision. On my stomach area I am also placing bio oil . The incisions are very small on my lower abdomen sides. My stomach area on the left side has minor discomfort to the touch and still fairly lumpy. Still massaging the breast and abdomen.
