Healing and revisions going well
WORTH IT$7,900
Had original SX Apr 2, 2015. Have had lipo spot touch up and TT scar revision to improve results. Having upper abdominal lipo on Sep 1st. Dr Shell and his staff are amazing. Dr Shell cares about my final results as much as I do. He has offered complimentary procedural tweaks and revisions to improve my final result. He does not have to do that, because results aren't guaranteed in cosmetic surgery.
I still have pubic swelling which I will address at my Sep 1 appt. My breasts are healing well but nipples are still numb. :(

No one tells you that you will be in for an emotional roller coaster. Major surgery disrupts a LOT of chemicals and hormones in addition to your body undergoing unimaginable stress. Even I had several emotional "come aparts" this past month.
My TT was drain free so I'm oozing all of my "fluid" out of incisions. Major oozing. Be ready to spend $$$ on medical supplies. Medipore is great for securing gauze and dressings. My breast redux is great. They already look great. The scars are smooth and blending unbelievably soon. Got stitches removed 3 days ago. I got an infection from bathing too soon. Not fun. Fever, sweats, chills, major fatigue and discomfort added to the oozing everywhere (soiling everything) and TT scar being an angry, swollen, itching Python wrapped around my waist.
Belly button still gross but drying out (good news). I can use my abs now. Lipo results are starting to show more. My waist is dramatically cinched.
Energy lows are another side effect. Even without taking meds I fall asleep in the middle of a thought... Body just shuts down from exhaustion. Be ready. Supplements aren't helping me, personally that I can tell.
Love my PS. We text each other and he will meet you at the office even on Sat and Sun. I love that peace of mind.
So far so good now that I'm past hellish weeks 2-3.

OMG. I'm glad to hear from you. I've been wondering how the healing process was coming along. I've heard about the emotional roller coaster that a lot of people experience. Continue to hang in there. It will get better. Your results look great thus far.

I was wondering why you gave this doctor such a good review? Have you read the other people's reviews? I noticed that you stated you had a 'hellish 2 or 3 weeks'. You also stated that you got an infection and had fever, sweats, chills and oozing everywhere with an angry scar".
Do you think it is possible that this was your surgeon's fault? Were you informed not to get the incision wet? Were you cared for after surgery?
I don't think your experience was a very good one and I think it was the surgeon's fault. I can't believe what he does to people. I think he should be disbarred. You should see the pictures and the reviews of his other patients!! Some have almost died and one lost her house!
