Any BBL'ers post op 6months, 1 year or more? Has your butt remained the same?

Wow this is something everyone wants to know going forward with this surgery... so the key really is to maintain your body weight.. unless you only have a couple of lipo areas... that are not in lump proan areas... thank you for sharing!!

Im 8 months PO no fat loss what so ever. I had no butt at all and I got 500 ccs to each cheek in only 2 injection sites. I didnt want a ghetto booty because if its ghetto now, it will be ghetto at age 60. I wouldn't change a thing. I was a 14 before and my butt is still a 14 my waist is a 10 after sx. My doc wss the bomb and I would do it again.

am 2 years & 2 months post op.;had BBL in Feb. 2010, 750 ml on each side.When I scheduled my surgery, I was told to gain 10 lbs., so I was supposed to weigh 145 lbs. at surgery, only managed to gain 2 lbs. the month between schedule date and surgery, so on day of surgery I weighed 136, (I'm 5'6"), hence the 15 lipo spots- the Dr. had to look for fat to extract all over the place. Within the last six months or so the lipo scars have faded significantly - I really have to look for them to see them. In retrospect, I wish I had tried a lot harder to gain those 10 needed lbs. I was lipoed on the side of my knees, abdomen, flanks, back, & thighs. On the thighs alone the Dr. harvested fat in three different places from each legs. I assume a significant amount of fat was found in my upper inner thighs, because post surgery & swelling, the skin around that area was loose and saggy, and it hadn't been like that pre-op.
A little more than a year ago I was prescribed a med (Mirtazapine) to help me sleep & the main side effect/complaint about it is weight gain. The weight gain is not from water retention or anything like that; it's because your appetite goes through the roof & all you want to do is eat, and eat I did! I wish I'd been prescribed that med while I was trying to gain the 10 lbs the Dr. had suggested...After being on that med for a few months, yes, I was sleeping like the proverbial baby, but I'd also gained 25 lbs. The added weight was distributed all over my body somewhat proportionally, but I must add that with the weight gain also came lumps where I'd been lipoed, not a pretty sight. The lumps were especially noticeable on my lower inner left thigh & right side of my abdomen.As for the butt? It grew accordingly, but the concensus among my peeps was that it was beginning to look TOO big & it was time for me to do something about it. Fast forward to now- I am at about five lbs. below what I weighed the day of surgery, 'yeepee', some may say; not so fast... In reality this latest weight loss has resulted in a significant decrease in booty size. I don't know if the shrinkage happened because I weigh 5 lbs. less than pre & post op or because of the passage of time & gravity is taking its toll.I tend to not think that my butt remained swollen for an entire year post op & hope that isn't the case. Regardless, my goal now is to gain 10 lbs. & somehow command that all 10 lbs. go to my butt only. I wish! Not surprisingly, all the lipo lumps went away when I lost the 25 lbs. & so that's something I have to take into consideration also as I gain those 10 lbs. Ive never thought of it this way, but there is a lot of tit for tat involved with this surgery! Weight gain = big booty but lipo lumps, no loose skin on inner thighs, lose weight =droopier butt but no lumps...I'm compromising & shooting for 10 more lbs while committing to a serious, consistent exercise regimen. Doing squats and lunges on a regular basis can only result in a rounder, perkier, more lifted behind, right?
