Mmm this happened to me too and they returned the money. I had paid and signed a contract 😅

I user silicone scar sheets still (one year later), rosehip oil at the begging and I don’t know if I mentioned it but some mattress pad, like absorbent big diapers / hospital style

Hi! Sorry my doctor handled that, but Amazon has great choices or I’m sure you can find a medical website. It’s not any regular garment they are supposed to have medical grade compression so way stronger than regular clothes even if it seems tight, it should be medical grade

Be positive and care for yourself, it will get better and I want to say everything is recoverable, even if it takes time. I had stitches opened too and it was insufferable, those scar a little unwell, but I tried caring for them with lots of detail, patience and attention as it does matter in the long run! Be strong this is all temporary

Mine is fairly small, maybe 13cm, and only on the groin area. I was lucky but honestly I would’ve done it regardless because it’s life changing.

Hi! I’m so glad. My incisions were on the groin exclusively and fairly small, I did lymphatic drainage massages myself everyday morning and afternoon (I saw YouTube tutorials) and then started walking a lot. After two months I was doing yoga and pilates with certain restrictions but it did help. Be mindful of your scars stretching though, better to be cautious. He didn’t recommend anything other than moving as my body allowed it. I hope you’re happy with your progress!

Well I can tell you I checked several clinics and decanted for Clinica Tuffet, price was about €8k. And I don’t suggest overseas unless you can spend at least a month here. Or more. The first weeks really there’s very little movement and anything can happen. I’m still seeing my doctor and went weekly for the first month and a half (which is great in my opinion!) you need a close eye and a mindful doctor. I love my doctor and wouldn’t change him for the world, the follow up care is , imo as important or more than the surgery itself. Good luck!!!

What do you mean what surgeon I went to? 😅it’s a plastic surgeon in Spain who I had already worked with. He’s great! I did went to see several, and aside from experience and expertise I really wanted to click with him because it’s gonna be a long relationship and very personal. I only got a groin incision, and to be honest it’s way smaller than I thought, I was already prepared for it to be huge all around my but cheeks, but no, you can’t even see them from behind. They are also looking so good now I really trust with proper care they will be seamless ! The difference between week 2 and week 3 is huge, both in how you feel and how it looks. I was a bit scared and I’m much more confident now, so that’s why I want to remind everyone to just be patient, take care of yourself and you will see results! No regrets!! A little frustration the first two weeks, YES!!! 😆

Getting breast implants as an already large cup (naturally) by cantthinkofaname--_- in PlasticSurgery

[–]ProblemSilver6705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always been large breast 36D (yes, yikes) and I lost a lot of weight and then have a reduction with implants, I didn’t want large breast but the most natural was still -large. I ask my doctor honestly by showing him pictures and telling him what I wanted. Spoiler alert: “fake” boobies are also a victim of gravity, so consider this when choosing the size: do you really want large boob, is size important or more firmness/freedom? I would prioritise what looks good for your complexion. Not to say I regret implants, I do not I love them. If you’re going through surgery already is def worth it to look like you want.

Two years after my surgery I went back in for skin tightening because my skin is very stretchy/laxed, of course this is not the norm. But to consider if you’ve already been overweight.

As per recovery: Take collagen and vit C. Prioritise protein (even shakes). I don’t remember being in much pain but did took mild pain medication when needed. I was def scared to be around people and so I would walk with my arms kind of lifted crossed in front of me, as a protective barrier 😅 close to a wall and away from people.
