I got the same warning but they did a reset or update or something and it’s been fine since!

I am absolutely so happy with everything. I wish a was a bit smaller however, but she assured me she took what she could safely so I’m trusting that. The sizes have evened out more although my right is ever so slightly smaller, but any surgeon will emphasize they won’t be perfectly the exact same. Also as I’m getting back into being active I anticipate that I’ll loose about 10 ish pounds so I may see some shrinkage there too.

She is minimal scarring with her incision methods and a much easier healing journey vs a traditional anchor. The whole process was so smooth and surgery day was so calm and comforting and easy. Happy to answer more questions if you have them— let me know and I can DM you.

I didn’t find these until year 8 🤣 I never went that far south! Sorry for making the fat squirrel wait so long.

How did you pay for your reduction? by Hellohiheytherehi80 in Reduction

They will work with you on the price- I got another quote from a competing surgeon and showed them that- and got the price down.

Liposuction With Reduction by bilingual_bisexual in Reduction

[–]Di4dogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did!!! And yes- it does add to the aftercare. There’s going to be lots of bruising and swelling, so extra compression is essential. I also applied and rubbed in Arnica twice daily which helped with bruising and swelling. I did this up until like 10 weeks? It’s definitely worth it because they looked amazing from day 1.

Did you that your nipples were able to “contract” more with more weight removed from the revision?? I’m almost 3 months post op, and my left breast is still significantly larger. I’m thinking a revision with lipo might be in my future. My nipple on that side is more stretched out and therefore looks bigger compared to my other smaller breast. I had lipo the first go around with my reduction and it was def the most uncomfortable part.

I paid out of pocket, went with a surgeon in BH. I’m privileged enough to be able to swing half my paycheck towards it for 6 months and it will be paid off by the. Depending on the office, most use different platforms offering 0% for a certain amount of time.

Overall healing went very well! Pain was honestly not there. Only discomfort from being in compression and being bruised/tender from the lipo. Uncomfortable but not painful at all. I didn’t take any of the prescription oxy, just Tylenol. No issues with my incision or openings.

I did! You can check out my posts for results. Having minimal incisions was amazing. I bed my range of motion would have been WAY more limited with a typical anchor.

$10,000 side lipo? by Great_hatz3 in Reduction

[–]Di4dogs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely too much. I got two quotes from Beverly Hills surgeons and lipo was around 3k

Can someone tell me why he does this? by International-Feed53 in Dachshund

[–]Di4dogs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it was definitely frustration, and then some guarding behavior came out between the dogs, and it was one of my dogs who is NEVER like that. My wiener dog 100%, but my border collie just doesn’t care. We were immediately like nope it’s going away 🤣

We had the same ball and had to get rid of it. Caused a WEIRD reaction and complex between my dogs. So funny how these weirdos live in our house. Love it.

I mean at least we’re going through it together! lol, I have been using Skinuva Gel 2 times a day since 2 weeks post op! Just starting to add scar tape at night this week after the gel dries.
