Awesome recovery! My doctor prescribed great meds so I don't have pain. If I have questions or concerns, I can call or text him and he responds quickly. I even went in to the office before my scheduled appointment for peace and mind, and he was fine with that.

That's the surgical garment you wear after surgery. It looks like a wrestling outfit from high school.

ok don't they give us the binder wen we go home so I should by extras incase they don't give us more uh

The binder & faja is included in the price with Dr. Salas. I still use the same binder in between faja washing, but you will have to budget for a smaller faja. I've checked plenty of websites and the majority range from $85-$120. I'm getting mine from a Spanish flea market that has over 6 name brands of fajas and within the same price range.

Hi! You look awesome! What do the circles he drew on your sides mean? Is that where he lipo'd?
User Avatar
March 31, 2017
It sure is! So Dr. Salas used liposuction for both flanks during the tummy tuck procedure. I thought it was pretty cool to see how he marked me up prior to surgery.

Yes it is! I think it's amazing how the mind of a PS works and I love when they add their own artistry to it. You look really good. I hope you are enjoying your new body.

Did you have a vertical insision down the middle and a horizontal below your belly button? I have to decide if I want b9th or just the lower one. Very conflicted.

I only have a vertical incision along my waist line. No horizontal anything on my stomach. Whatever doctor you choose should not have to give you a vertical incision at all. Of course I would recommend Dr. Salas but make sure with consultations you stay away from any vertical talk.

Dr. Salas cut the incisions out of my navel. It was about 5 and I felt the pinch of each one. He also took the tape off of the incision along my waist line. Taking tramodol and Advil now for pain relievers, it felt like a bandage being pulled from off a hairy arm.

Not too bad after getting new medication Friday. Of course my awesome doctor was on it with calling in the prescription for me within 30 mins. He told me to take the remaining hydrocodon pills (4 left) 1 every 4 hours.
