✨ One of the biggest mistakes I see after surgery is underestimating the recovery process.

Plastic surgery is still surgery. Your body is going under anesthesia, experiencing trauma, and beginning a healing process immediately after the procedure. Recovery is not the time to cut corners on care, compression, hydration, nutrition, or support.

Your body views surgery as an injury and works hard to repair itself. Giving yourself at least 5–7 days of proper rest and care can make a significant difference in your healing journey and overall results.

Investing in your recovery is just as important as investing in your surgery. Protect your results by planning ahead and prioritizing your healing. 💕

🚨 Recovery Mistake #1: Underestimating the Procedure

• Surgery is a major procedure, even when elective.
• Your body considers surgery an injury and must heal.
• Don’t cut corners on post-op care.
• Plan for adequate support and rest.
• Give your body at least 5–7 days to focus on healing.
• Recovery is part of the investment

The video is graphic, but we love educating and showing what really happens behind the scenes during recovery. This is also a great example of why post-op massages should not be skipped.

Because this video was only about a minute long, I could only include so much, so I wanted to explain a little more here.

Our client was 5 days post-op and had only received 1 massage before seeing us. By the time we got to her, she was extremely swollen, had a lot of fluid buildup, was experiencing shortness of breath, and overall was not feeling well.

As you can see in the video, she went down tremendously after her session and released a lot of old fluid buildup. During the massage, we also focused heavily on deep breathing to help her open her lungs back up and improve her breathing. By the end of the session, she was breathing better, talking better, and overall felt much stronger. Her mom even noticed the difference in her voice right away. She was also finally able to get up and shower on her own.

To clarify, the gel-like fluid shown in the video was fluid buildup. I’ve seen this before from tummy tuck clients in their drains , but this was our first time seeing this much come out directly from an incision.

Since it was unusual in appearance, I had her send it to her surgeon as a precaution, and the response shown was directly from her surgeon
No BBL was done—this client only had Lipo 360

Mistakes Made After Plastic Surgery Pt. 2 ✨

Post-op recovery is just as important as the surgery itself. Here are a few mistakes I see often:

• Overly compressing too early or too aggressively — more compression does not always mean better results. Over-compressing can create uneven healing, discomfort, and other complications.

• Wearing a bra too soon — within the first 7–10 days, avoid wearing a separate bra that can trap fluid and create extra pressure points under your faja. Instead, choose a faja with built-in bra support if approved for your stage of recovery.

• Not protecting your skin — wearing a soft t-shirt or protective garment under your faja can help prevent friction, irritation, and painful faja burns.

• Aggressive massages — lymphatic massages should feel uncomfortable at times, but they should not be overly aggressive or traumatizing to the body. Recovery is about supporting drainage and healing, not causing more inflammation.

Your results depend on what you do after surgery too. Heal smart, stay educated, and follow a recovery plan that supports your bod

Mistakes I see too many surgery dolls make before, during, and after surgery 🚨

Surgery is already a major investment—financially, physically, and emotionally—so going in unprepared can cost you even more during recovery.

Mistake #1: Not reading your contracts thoroughly.
Please read and understand exactly what you are paying for with BOTH your surgery center and your service providers. Know what is included, what is not included, cancellation policies, refund policies, aftercare expectations, and your responsibilities as a client. Too often clients assume instead of asking questions, which leads to frustration later.

Many service providers do not offer refunds because time is reserved specifically for you, schedules are blocked, preparations are made, and resources are allocated in advance.

Mistake #2: Compressing too early or too aggressively.
More compression does NOT always mean better results. Over-compressing too soon after surgery can contribute to uneven swelling, fluid displacement, contour irregularities, and in some cases an uneven or disproportionate appearance. One area may be compressed too heavily while fluid and swelling shift elsewhere.

Recovery is a process—not a race.
Follow your surgeon’s guidelines, work with knowledgeable post-op professionals, ask questions, and prioritize proper healing over rushing results.

Education is part of the healing journey 💛

Second round? Your body is NOT the same canvas.

What worked the first time may not be the best choice now. After surgery, your anatomy changes—scar tissue, blood supply, skin elasticity, and overall structure all shift. That means your next surgeon should be chosen based on your current foundation, not just your past results.

A different surgeon may bring a new technique, a fresh eye, and a safer approach tailored to where your body is now—not where it started.

Do your research. Ask the right questions. Choose skill over familiarity.

Your second round deserves a strategy, not just a repeat.

Not sure why I was doing the “trump” hands but if you are looking for a great experience and a surgeon. Check out . Had 2 clients in the same week go to this her for surgery and both were very pleased and had a great experience. One of the clients went to her twice. Here’s their experience.

Applause 👏🏾

Hey Curvies

Being in your Faja can be extremely hard, especially finding the right prices finding the right faja that your body feels comfortable being in all day every day, so here’s a quick tip on how to make being in that Faja the best experience for you.

Here’s a guide on the body after lipo, bbl sometimes you can overly compress and cause skin hardness because the fluid can move freely or you can not compress enough which causes the body to swell and also skin hardness. You want your body/skin to feel soft that’s when the body molds and begins to take on its new shape .

Skin hardening isn’t just what you do—it’s how you do it. Compression too tight or too loose can slow results. When the body is soft, that’s when it’s ready to mold. Trust the process, not pressure.
Im not a medical professional just something I’ve learned by and by 😆☺️

Plastic surgery is definitely an investment.
