Hi Girls, I hope everyone is doing well and for those going thru recovery, I hope all is going well too. So I started working out again (8 weeks after my BBL touch up). I am taking it slow this week but next week I will start harder with my cardio and weight training. My 1st few weeks of recover were horrible; I didn’t realize how sensitive the lipo under my arms was going to be. I still have some swelling but happy that I was able to start wearing a bra last week. I was not able to wear one for weeks because my under arms were so sensitive and swollen. I don’t wear a garment any more, I only did for about a week after sx. This time around my healing has gone by super fast other than the soreness under my arms. Since it was not that much fat that I had grafted my butt is feeling back to normal already and that’s a good thing. Now my goal is to get back into shape (muscle mass). The 1st time I had my BBL a year ago, I waited 4 months before I went back to the gym just to make sure that all my grafted fat had heal completely in fear of losing volume but not sure if it was the exercises that I was doing but my butt did get bigger when I started working out. So for those getting this sx do for the 1st time, I will like to share that from personal experience it is ok to start working out normal after 4 months of your sx. Just start small, your body will let you know when you can start working out harder. The parts that hurt the most for me after I started working out were my lower back and my outer thighs.

All is well! I love my trainer! I've got to get my eating habits under control to make everything come together to fulfill my dream of doning a catsuit-lol! I'm going on the second month and I have to make this count as my breast reduction is scheduled for 12/27.

OMG Coco thats right around the corner... you still want to try for round 2 later? i am glad that you are enjoying your workout too. soon you will be in that catsuit too :-)

I know-time is flying! Yes, I am going for round 2 but the breast redux is a priority as they are out of control. After the first BBL, they grew to like a G and they're probably an H/I by now as that's where most of the extra weight has gone. So, I have to get them down to a D-it'll make the cardio workouts, especially the sprints and jogging, that much easier & to look good in the catsuit-lol!!!

lol.. see cocopuff my husband would be so happy with that.. mine did go from a DD to DDD they do say that the areas that werent lipo will strat to grow after a lipo since the fat cells in those other areas are gone now. i told my husband i would love to go with like a c but he told me if i touch them, it will call for the big D.. lol

November 9, 2012
LOL-you're husband laying the law down!!!! LOL!!! Well, as long as they're round, full, perky, and lifted that's not bad at all. Then, you work out regularly so that's great. But when the boobies suffer from dunlap syndrome and no amount of training/weight loss will help, it's time to fix them-lol!!! I like the shape and fullness, they just got to be reduced to about half the size they are now. A full D will be perfect for my height and weight. I agree with your husband, C will be too small-I was that size in elementary school before puberty-lol!!!!

Rosa thanks for updating! Do you like the results of your arm lipo? In your early recovery, were you still able to use your arms to lift your body up? Thanks so much

Hi Cinnamon he only did the under arms like about my bra strap not my arms. but i was not able to move my arms at all. The worst part was when i had to go to the bathroom for the 1st time for #2 and i had to call my husband to come clean me up. my 1st recovery was way better than this time. i will have to say that the under arms are the most sensitive part from all the other areas i had lipe last time (abs, lower back and bra).

November 9, 2012
I would've thought the 2nd round would be easier!! Thanks for letting us know how sensitive the underarm area is. I'm glad you're through the worst part of recovery and you look great!

Oh and I love the pillow! My boppy might be giving out on me and my yoga mat looks hard...lol, so you gave me an idea on how to modify that :-)

Cinnamon, one of the girls at my Dr. office told me to just rap a towel or two around the yoga mat and that will work too.

the 2nd round was easier but i think its was the lipo under the arms because all the other areas were ok and my butt healed a lot faster too. i got the giggle back already :-)

November 9, 2012
Lol... here's to the giggle!! Yay..for bouncing back earlier and feeling normal back there!! :-) I'm going to try the towel, but I think I'm going to have to trim my mat down, I think it's too wide to fit in my small car.

Thanks Rosa for updating us! and congrats on your round 2! I followed So I'm finally getting BBL done next month. I see you stated that you started working out after 4 months. Do you believe you could have worked out after two months

Hi Cherryred, i think i could have started working out after 2 months but my Dr. really told me to wait for a min of 3 months. i love to salsa dance and they event told me not to do that to avoid burning that new fat. but they told me that after 3 months i could go back to normal, i just waiting the 4 months to make sure i kept the volume on my butt. not at 2 months your butt will still feel kind of tight and strange to run or anything. the 1st month of working out was like i never worked out before and working out its a normal part of my life. this time around i was not going to wait that long because i was not going to start all over again to get my body back in shape and from last experience, it looks like my working out actually helped my butt get bigger. it must be all the lunges and squats.. lol

Hey Rosa! Looking fabulous as always! Glad to hear you are now recovering well. I am also doing my touch-up with my same doctor this Nov. 26th. I have some remaining fat on my upper back/bra strap area that I need to lipo again. I don't want to waste those fat, so I will use those fat to be injected to my hip/lateral butt. Dr. Salama said I have very little fat in my upper back to make any noticeable change in my hip, so I'm adding my inner thighs lipo. I DON'T want big hips, because I have a naturally small frame & I already have hips. So, I'm NOT going for volume, just want a little bit rounder hips. How much cc's did you get for this round 2? Did u again had to take Arnica, Hypericum & Ruta 2 weeks before your surgery? Please pray that my Nov. 26 touch-up surgery goes well.

Hi enjoy. I know things will go great for you. You already look awesome so after your touch up you will look double awesome. your having sx a day before my sons 10th bday. I will definetly keep you in ky toughts and prayer. I really don't know how many cc I got the 2nd time. I mainly went in to get the rest of my fat out and shape my butt a little more.

Hi Ladies, so I am at day 6 of my 2nd bbl and the recovery is not going as well as last time. I was told that this time would be much easier but I don’t know, I think the lipo under my arms and back is worse than the lipo I had last year on my abs and lower back. My under arms are killing me and makes it hard to move around a lot. I just posted a few pictures of my transformation from before I had anything done to now a day after my 2nd bbl. One thing, my butt is not as hard as last time or sore as last time as there was less fat grafted than the 1st time. I only did round two to lipo the fat around my upper back and under arm area so I figure I use the fat to fill in some areas that I was not 100% happy with in my butt. Take a look at the pictures and you can see how my butt is more round now.

I didn’t have to but I wanted to get the rest of the fat on my back out and try to get a smaller waist so why not use the fat to get a little more projection on my butt?

as you can see, it was cheap to make too :-) found a yoga mat at TJ max for $14.99 and had an old roll pillow around the house, the other pillow was my work back support pillow, you can find that at like office depot. glad it gave you a good idea.

Hi chocolate doll... Yes . You need to move some of the filling around the mat. Remember you don't want to pillow to be soft because you want ur butt to hang behind it.

Hi girls. Just a quick update. Everything turned out great. Went in by 815am and was home by 1 something. I was out for a few hrs and my sister a girl friend came by to take care of my and my family so hubby can go to work. Got up to use the bathroom about 5 and oh boy I got the biggest rush go to my head so I had to lay back down for a moment and tried it again. I walked aroud a little with the help of my sis and finaly made it to the bathroom. Can't see much right now w this faja and pads on but tomorrow ill be at Dr. Office for my follow up and 1st massage. Round two has not been bad at all. The only pain is the areas on my back and under arms that I got lipo. But tylenol has helped with that no need to take these other strong pills they gave me. Thank you all for you prayers. I'll reply and answer your question later when I feel better and not drugged...lol. have a great evenning girls.
