I like all of you was not blessed in the rear. I was teased my entire life. African Americans women are supposed to have a rear if nothing else...well I want to change that and I am.
I am scheduled for the BBL on 4/28/2011. I appreciate all the tips and advice thus far. I too am traveling for the procedure in the states though. It is reassuring to see the before and after photos. I can only hope I have the same good story.

Thanks how are you feeling, and looking? I'm not too sure this is gonna be what I wanted.

hi... I am also from Chicago and planning to travel for my BBL procedure. Right now its between Florida and Maryland. Do you mind sharing who your doctor is and what made you choose him. I wouldn't mind traveling to ATL since I have some family and freinds there. I would love to hear your input. I cant wait to hear about your journey. Good Luck with the healing process. I'm saying a prayer for you.

Thanks Skittles, talk to me in a couple of weeks then I can for sure let you know how I'm feeling and what I look like. So far I can't see much difference not like some of the others.

No problem. I completely understand. I can't beleive you flew home already. Take it easy and dont over do it. And dont judge your results just yet. Give yourself some time to recuperate.
Happy healing.
Happy healing.

The first day was the hardest. I had an enormous amount of drainage. The second day I was up and dress and moving around very slowly but no drainage. I am somewhat disappointed as I feel my needs have not been met, but it really is too early to tell. I go to the office for the massage and it is really painful but necessary. The folds of skin hand to be kneeded to prevent permanent crease lines. I have followed many of your instructions, like rolling a towel and sitting on the edge of the toilet seat up , it really works.
Day 4 massage less painful but sleeping is nightmare. After taking off the straight-jacket, I mean compression garment I understand where the discomfort is coming from. I have miminal bruising but lots of swelling. STAY AWAY FROM SALT A FOODS HIGH IN SALT.
The plane ride home was murder. I sat with my purse under my thighs to let my behind hang down around the purse. It worked better than a towel because it was more solid, the towel collapsed.
All in all my Doc was only able to inject 660cc in each buttock. So my results are not going to be huge, but not having any butt at all I guess, it's better than nothing. Dr. Nedra Dodds is very professional however be warned, she does this out of her own office surgery center with no anethesiologist. I experience NO discomfort during the entire procedure. I talked to a couple of girls that had gone to her. I felt I did my homework. It's only 5 days postop I will keep you posted.

Welcome to RealSelf, tepjones1! Only one week to go... where are you travelling from?
I am traveling from Chicago. I get more nervous as the days go by. Hopefully all will go well. I will do as the others and post comments, keep my journal here. Thanks for responding. Pray for me......
