What’s the difference with a Brazilian?

WORTH IT$12,500
I have had many questions what was the the difference in Brazilian , and a believe the answer is a more advanced technique, with a quicker recovery and Lipo as standard .
I must say I’m up and around and managing my pain with regular paracetamol already .

Mr w v Niekerk Amazing!!!!!!

Genesis 44
(My care the day of my surgery) . I can’t thank Mr Niekerk enough for what he has done , and would like to say thank you to whole team as my care was amazing !!!!
I am so pleased with my results , a bit of soreness nothing to moan about it’s to be expected , I am mobile as much as possible walking up and down and taking deep breaths which helps a lot .
After surgery the nurses helped me to toilet I looked at my self in the mirror the transformation was amazing .
My repairs all done ,Tummy tuck , an Lipo , I feel much better already as the weight of my stomach pulled me forwards, and can only imagine what I will feel like when the healing is done . Eating healthy keeping mobile has defiantly helped .
I do have a belly button and if I ever had to have surgery again would defiantly use Mr Niekerk , as I feel his perfectionist and so pleased with my results and gentle care , not even to much bruising no drains .i go bk in one week for a check up so will keep you all updated .

Thank you so much how long did your swelling take to go down ?

So it gradually got better over the weeks but I really noticed a big decrease at 7-8 weeks post op. It continued of course throughout that first year but got better each month. At almost 2 years post op though I still notice swelling when I get my period or eat too much and overdo it

Just curious too hun, what’s the difference in a Brazilian abdominoplaty and a reg andominoplasty? Just wondering if it’s different or if it’s juat called different things in different places
January 6, 2019
The scar is much lower I will get some pictures undressed to show you , mr Niekerk also some does lipo and he will not use drains unless he has to which I think is much better.
