Hi all, I'm actually writing this on my tummy in my hospital bed. It hasn't even been 24 hrs yet. I went in for bbl surgery yesterday around 1:30 pm and was out of surgery around 9pm. I am so sore and I've had lipo b4 about 3 yrs ago...my oh my I must say big difference in pain! Everyone is different and the dr said I had a lot of scare tissue so maybe that's why I'm so sore.

I will say that I could not imagine going home the same day of surgery, you definitely need round the clock nurse care!! I feel like I need to stay for 2 or 3 days. I do not have any pros or cons as of yet it's just way to early. I will up date once I start to feel better. I'm hoping for a speedy recovery.

My Dr. is very caring and patient he actually called me while I was writing the review to check up on me :) He also gave me his cell phone number to call him anytime I need to. I will keep you guys updated.

Well I'm 4weeks out today and I started sitting yay!!!!! My bootay looking real good :)) it settled some it's not so high up it's rounding out and projecting more. I will say it is very painful (for me) to sit, everyone is different but I am happy to be sitting. I will post be 4 and after pics once I feel my butt is where it's gonna stay, the body goes through so many changes during lipo and bbl that anything sooner would be a waste of time ( my opinion). If there is anyone else who experienced pain the first few time they sat please let me know. Thanx ladies I will keep you posted!

Ok so I changed my mind I'm looking so good I...

11 weeks post-op feeling great and looking better. I will say my lower back where the indent is (the most lipo'd area) is still very sore. when I stay in any one position too long it hurts like heck when I move. The most pain I experience is in the morning getting out of bed....OMGOODNESS it feels like my skin is separating from the tissue in my back. I'm assuming it's due the the aggressive lipo in that area, I hope this feeling goes away soon. I find that wearing my spanx helps keep the skin on my back tight and in place so it feels a lil better, like an idiot i threw away my binder to early. If anyone else hes experience this pain in the lower back where the "shelf" have be created please let me know when this pain will go away. Other than that I'm very happy with my body! :))

Hey girl you look great! I know you were talking about you losing some butt, I was wondering how it's looking now? Did you lose a lot?

AMAZING Beautiftul Butt! The age of 18, can I get this procedure done?.. I'm 5"7 and weigh about 140lbs . Is this good enough fat for a Brazilian buttlift

ladeebuggmitts, You look amazing. Been reading through the messages posted under your review and I got most of the essential info. I'm amazed your waist went from 33" to 27" !!! I hope I get similar results.

Thanks for the tip on using Scar Guard silicone sheets/maderma/neospore. I'll keep that in mind.

Ok, so I noticed you said you took supplements that helped you in your healing. What did you take?

Also, did you "sit" on a bopee pillow or rolled towels during your first month post-op?

I wish Dr. M had a California office!!!

ladeebuggmitts 7 Jun 2011
I was out of work for 6 weeks. I still have lower back pain from the lipo though.
ChocolateLola44 29 May 2011
DANG GIRL YOU KILLEN EM! I noticed Dr. M was pricier than others, but obviously the man knows what he's doing! I FIND IT REMARKABLE that your butt got BIGGER! xo
ladeebuggmitts 7 Jun 2011
Thanx! Yup and it's still get bigger!
girl2 7 Jun 2011
Girl, he is the bomb! Another girl is going to him too and I told her is worth the money! I don't know what's up but I'm eight weeks and my bootay got bigger too, my daughter thought I added more fat lol. Girl, I'm glad because I only had 500 ccs and I have to go back for touch ups probably in december. Because I'm want that butt to where it's like okay look at the "Butt" lmao! You look good girlie take care!

Hi ladeebuggmi, Is this the first or second butt fat transfer? What was your height and weight before surgery? Thanks
ladeebuggmitts 23 May 2011
This is the first and hopefully the last! Lol I was 140lb 5"4

Girl, Dr. M did an awesome job!!! After seeing your pictures it has really got me excited. I have my surgery with Dr. M next month. I read your thread and seen that your pre op measurement are pretty close to mine so if he made you look like that then Good Gosh Almighty, I hope mine turns out like yours. I'm sure I will be satisfied because I have not seen one bad review about him and everyone seems to be so pleased with his work. So did you do anything between week five and eleven to make your bottom get bigger? Like doing squats with your own body weight? I workout a lot and I'm just wonder when I will be able to get back into the gym once I have the surgery.
MsPinky 18 May 2011
Also, what are you using to help heal the scars? You can't even really tell where he had to cut you at.
ladeebuggmitts 23 May 2011
Thanx so much! No I didn't do anything extra, I just followed the dr rules on how to train the butt for sitting again, and I waited 4 weeks post-op to sit. He is just great at what he does so if you follow his routine you will be fine. Also I took alllll the suggested supplements for healing and swelling I truly believe that has a lot to do with the out come of the butt. Also lots of water! And I've used several different things for my scars I started with neospore, scar guard, and now medrema in that order everything does something different. I still have scars but they are fading. Good luck!
ladeebuggmitts 23 May 2011
***correction*** NOT scar guard. It's scar away silicone sheets. Helped ALOT!
MsPinky 23 May 2011
Thanks for wishing me luck. So what supplements did you take? I want to buy everything prior to my surgery so I can be ready for the "recovery journey". Also how long did you uses each type of cream?
Syrenity 3 Jun 2011
Did you stay out of work the entire 4 weeks before you sat down. How did you manage the not sitting part of post-op?
SexxyNezzy 16 May 2011
GIRLLLLLLL YOUR DOC HOOKED THAT BOOTY UP! YOU LOOK GREAT! I will be 8 weeks post op this Thursday, and my lower back was the most lipo'd too and when I wake up in the mornings or I sit too long, that is the part that hurts me too and it gets swollen a lot!
ladeebuggmitts 17 May 2011
Thanx girl! I'm in NY as well, but my consults here were no where near as promising as with Dr. Markmann....that's why I went outta state. But yes this lower back thing sucks, it really hurts when I get out of bed and out of the car. I can't wait to be totally healed!
