Brazilian Butt Lift: Stories

Hi sexy ladies! Finally got the courage to post my own post...yikes, here we go: Im 24, very tall, 5'10" and probably 180 now (honestly i cant weigh myself, i used to be very skinny a few years ago, so just seeing that high number woould freak me out. I weighed about 155 to 160 6 months ago when i started having to gain weight in order to being able to do BBL.
Im gonna postpone my date for a week or two, oo much going on right now. But im gonna lipo stomack, flanks, lower back, inner and lateral thighs.
YUCK i feel so fat now and am wondering if i gained too much? I have a gut, love handles and huuuuge thighs :(((((
Im aiming for a heart-shaped butt, bubble butt w tiny waist.
Any other tall ladies here? Im sooo scared of general anesthesia? I didnt have to do an EKG but i feel like sometimes my heart skips a beat...
Did anyone do thigh lipo?

Had to postpone my date since my bf is out of town, so had no one to take care of me. Probably gonna do it next week.
What exactly are lateral injections and can someone explain it to me?
Ahhh im getting so anxious but am really annoyed with being chubby, so it sucked i had to cancel today...thanks for your comments girls! Appreciate it! Xoxo

So i never had surgery in my life, not even wisdom teeth removed, therefore never had general anesthesia...and it scares the heck out of me. I have insomnia every freaking night because im so excited yet nervous!!!
Ahhh also so confused, i think im gonna stop by my surgeons office and ask if i gained too much for the results i want...lol this site confuses me, i see girls that went into surgery slim and had amazing results and then i read about girls gaining a lot, so im confused.
ALSO, this is kinda TMI, but im expecting my period around 24 th and i have heavy and long periods...would that affect anything? Since i have bloodloss thru surgery too? Im trying to have my sx right before period...thanks ladies.

Just spoke to my consultant and since i had to postpone, the only available date was dec 31 st...yikes ill be in bed in pain recovering on NYE! Haha

Hey girls! Today in 2 weeks i will be 1 day post op and i just cannot wait! Im still super nervous and scared but he hopefully great outcome is outweighting the negatives/my fear! I took my before pics done due to privacy but will post the before pics they take before surgery along with my after pics once its dec 31st.
I didnt go crazy on buying things to prep for sx, just the necessary things and will just go with flow and try to not stress...
QUESTION: Should i start taking Arnica montanax30 and bromelain now? It says on my pre op a few days prior to surgery, but i was wondering if it will benefit me more if i start earlier? Its a little less than 2 weeks til sx
Xoxo

I took my before pics *DOWN i meant, geez, i cant spell

So they deleted all my wishpics?!?! But since we can delete our pics now, i will upload new before pics of my chubby self! Ive been eating like crazyyyyy trying to keep he extra 20lbs on...feeling so gross, but next Monday is finally my big day! I still cant believe it! So scared and anxious! Anyways, have a blessed Christmas ladies! Xoxo

Hey girls, so my date is appoaching rapidly and im so scared! Mostly of general anesthesia...i stressed myself out so much that my period is late! They said its fine to be on my period during surgery? Anyone experienced that and has advice?

Just received my call from the surgical center to confirm my surgery on Monday! Have to be there at 6am! This is crazy! Its happening! Gained some more weight...stuffing my face like crazy lol, all for the sake of the booty!

Im a nervous wreck! I cant believe tmrw around this time ill be in surgery! My period still didnt come due to stress, praying that it wont come tomorrow! Running my last errands today but have everything prepped so far! Ahhhhh im so excited yet scared!
Where can i buy compression stockings?
Thank you soooo much to you lovely ladies for all the support, prayers and good luck!

Good morning ladies!!!
Took tylenol pm last night and got some 5 hours of sleep even though i woke up about every hour to check the time...this is it, theres no going back...have to be there at 6 am....surgery around 8 or so...im very very nervous and scared...praying for beautiful results and minor pain...thanks for all the support, it means a lot to me...ill try to update once i get home in the afternoon.
My measurements are:
32 1/2(under boob)
29 (waist)
42 1/2 (hips)

Measurements before gaining over 20 lbs:
32-26-39

Xoxo

Hi ladies...finally able to even type something up...i felt miserable after surgery, was in a lot of pain i even laid on my butt in recovery because i felt so sick and didnt care...its been a rough night, i had a lot of thigh lipo so i can barely walk...pain is managable with two vicodins though. Ive been peeing a lot and i swole up soooooooo much, a lot more than in the pics.
Dr.Bruno unfortunately didnt lipo my upper abs, he said not enough fat, so im a bit upset with that...besides that im loving my hips, im trying not to fall in love with my shape because it will go down a lot...from the side it still has to round out a lot, but i guess thats normal...sorry, im wearing padding around my waist and a bit on hips, so you cant tell much from the pics...those pics were yesterday, i swole up more...any tips for swelling? I do walk around about every two hours and pee...besides that sleep....
THANK YOU to all of u lovely girls for the well wishes and sweet comments! I appreciate it sooo much!
Ps. Before surgery he said i didnt have a lot of fat and he would only get 400 to 500ccs in per side. I told him i wanted more and he did his damn thing and put 880ccs per side :) im very happy about that.

Hi girls,
Sorry i havent got to update til now, i was miserable, in a lot of pain and extremely swollen. Im still super swollen but feeling better finally...it was a rough few days...my shape hasnt changed much, i will load up pics on monday when my padding comes off...i still pretty much sleep all day and get up every 2 hours to walk a bit...i take vicodin around the clock but went down to one pill at a time.
Im very happy w my results but just cant wait for the swelling to go down...im bigger than before in my waist at the moment but my contours look beautiful...again, new pics i will try on monday.
I wanna thank everyone again for the sweetest, most uplifting comments, really made me feel better! I dont have the energy to reply to each single comment, but u r all sooooo sweet! Xoxoxo

Hey girls!
Feeling a lot better...only thing thats bothering me a lot is that my swelling in my thighs wont go done...my thighs and knees are huge! And im 1 week post op tmrw and sometimes it gets worse! I had extensive thigh lipo, basically my whole thigh and inner knee lipo'd...did anyone experience this? Im still taking bromelain and arnica, walking every two hours, drinking tons of water and pimeapple juice but the swelling wont subside:/
Besides that i have some stiffness and my neck hurts from sleeping....slowly but steady recovering though....first day of having my appetite back thank god....loving my shape but cant tell all the way sonce my legs are humongous...tummy looks bigger again because i started my period...will post pics at Dr.Brunos office showing my nakeddd azz lol....thanks again, you all have been wonderful! Xoxo

Hiiiiii!
Just got back from my 1 week follow up and my ass looks even better! Its already rounding a bit more and its huge! Im still super bruised and swollen but my waist is shrinking and im in love w my body! Im ok w my booty going down lol cuz right now its huge but it has a pretty natural shape....im wearing this board triangle on my lower back so in pics it makes my ass look flatter but it dips in way more without...will finally try to post nude ones later tonight! Im soooo happy today...still very sore and stiff and i walk so silly but its all worth it! Dr.Bruno is theeee best! Lol i wanted to give him a kiss! He makes beautiful butts and contours! Xoxo

Ahhh, so my thighs and knees are still super swollen but now i also have extremely swollen ankles, aka cankles yuckkk...so too much walking makes it worse...i do drink tons of water and eat very healthy...i need to elevate my legs but its hard to do so on your tummy...how can i be on my back and elevate legs? Anyone had swollen ankles? I dont wanna lay on my back, i already had to sit a few times because i ot dizzy, trying o avoid more pressure on my beautiful booty:( advice is appreciated! On another note my ass is getting even better every day:) natural looking but biiiiiig! Omg! *ALL SMILES*

I was wondering when the inner thighs, knees etc soften after being lipo'd aggressively? As mentioned before most of my fat came from my legs but my inner thighs and inner knees are ROCK HARD! It feels so strange...did anyone experience this too?
Xoxo

Hi ladies!
Im feeling a lot better today! I have to admit, i had a pretty rough recovery so far but its soooooo worth it! Im sooo happy! My swelling went down a bit but my lipo areas are still rockhard eww. Still tons of bruising too but then again i bruise very easily. When i showered and washed my garment today i was dancing naked in the mirror lol! It was soooo much fun! And im a dork! I know my ass will go down so im trying not to fall in love w it, even tho i cant wait for it to drop a bit and round out.
Dr.Bruno is soooo amazing, i recommend him to anyone! Hes is the sh*t! I did have a decent shape before though, so i feel like he perfected my body and gave me a big ol booty!:)))))

Measurements
Waist 27 (whooop)
Ass/hips 45

Xoxo

Ps. Tummy is still very swollen, so its not flat from the side yet as u can see in leggings pics, still retaining tons of fluids

So i think i need a new garment...mine is super loose on my tummy...i wear a binder over it but i think it would be good to have some more compression...my thighs are still very big though....which garment is the best? Preferably with less pressure on the butt...i kinda need it down to my knees though since i had thigh lipo! Suggestions and website links are appreciated!

Hey loves,
So just called the office and i dont know if i heard wrong the first time...but i got 800 on one side and 820 on other, instead of 880ccs...my bad....
Im feeling A LOT better, thank god!:) my butt is going down a lil so im starting to obsess and freak out lol! But besides that im pretty much happy still...i walk a lot better and sleep through the nights...my butt is still hard and so are my lipo areas...stiffness is better, but still there....getting very annoyed w not sitting ughhh but i started to drive on a rolled up towel and it works OK, not comfy but my bootay is pretty much in the air...
Happy healing to you ladies!
Xoxo

Also, i have a little bit of a slightly "flat" part...any of u girls had that too? Did it round out once it dropped or got soft?

Hey girls...
So finally received the garment i ordered and its perfect! It has a "scrunched" butt part, making more room for the booty! But a lot of tummy compression....check out the pics! Its sooo comfy and super thin so u cant tell under clothes...the website is:
www.bodyimageshop.com
Click on "bodysuits" and on page 2 its the "ultra compression - zipper shaper thigh length"
They have it w shorter legs too, but i had inner knee and m whole leg lipo'd so i need the long leg.
It runs very small...initially ordered L but had to exchange for XL because i didnt get the L over my hips/ass...so probably order a size bigger than what u thought...im a giant at 5'10" though so maybe thats why lol! But it has adjustable zippers for the tall chicas. Definitely a great garment...the company actually delivers to plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills.

On another note...i feel like my tummy is getting bigger?!?! I feel a bit "pudgy" ...i know Dr.Bruno barely lipo'd my tummy/flanks since he said i didnt have much fat there but yeah i still have some lil rolls...so the gym will have to do once i can!
Xoxo

Had a follow-up today...everything is healing nicely Dr.Bruno said...i feel like my hips went down a little though and waist up?! Wtf! My booty is still pretty hard...it didnt soften much at all yet...im kind of a perfectionist, so i will be definitely putting in some work at the gym once i can...Dr.B said i can start weights and squats soon if i like...and cardio at 6 to 8 weeks...
Had some creeps holla at me in the streets of Beverly Hills today! Ewww! Lol...i dont know if ppl look at me funny because if my ass or because i walk a lil funny still :/
I hope my booty doesnt go down much...thats all :)
Have a blessed day my bootiful ladies!!! Its a hot and gorgeous day in LA! Xo!

Hi my loves,
Soooooo....ive been MIA for a litttle while, so its time for an update! :)
I am officially one month post op and i have to say this whole surgery has driven me a bit crazy! Lol! I havent had much shrinkage whatsoever....i just feel my shape changed a bit...my booty started dropping a bit and looking more natural, which is great...my only issues are that one cheek is bigger and that i have these flat/squarish dents....i read that a lot of girls have these same issues! My left cheek is smaller than the right but this was also my smaller side before sx....so im not really tripping that much....i do have on both cheeks towards the outer center these slightly flat parts, they are not that obvious but i am a PERFECTIONIST so they are bugging me a bit but i hope that it will round out once it drops completely :)
Besides that i had to learn to not obsess about this, afterall my body looks beautiful and all in all im very content with my results :)
People stare at me in public, its weird lol and do not necessarily like that attention but hey i guess they are noticing my booty ;)
Im feeling pretty much normal, my lipo areas are still tender and my butt still hard in the center....lipo areas still hardish too...i do still take naps but i feel greattttt! Ive been driving since day 10 but just recently started sitting w a pillow under thighs and kinda leaning forward to take pressure off....i havent really had volume loss since week 2....im still a 27 in the waist and a 45 around booty/hips...swelling went down a lot!
My advice to you ladies, dont obsess over this and be REALISTIC...you cant expect to look like a video vixen if you were overweight before, im not trying to put anyone down, just trying to say be happy with your results even if its not 100pct what u thought it was gonna be, after all, it will be a huuuuge improvement! :) and there is always the gym for more improvement!!! I will start hitting the gym soon to tone up and build my muscle back up!
Another thing, dont obsess over cc's!!! Ive done a lot of research and feel like girls w more cc's had more volume loss, again, this is only my opinion....and no one wants to be 50 w a big ol saggy donk lol! So think about the future!!!! :)
Thats all, best wishes to you all!
Xoxoxo
Ps...too lazy to proof read, so forgive me for my typos pls

Hey girls,
Sorry I've been MIA but I've been trying to not obsess about my BBL as much anymore and get back to normal life :) i had some days where i was kinda unhappy w my results but i guess i might have expected too much...i noticed tht im just a improved version of myself now, which is good i think...i still somewhat have the same body type just bigger booty...i havent lost much volume overall but my hips went down a lot!!! I have some litlle dents and dimples and my butt is still hard in the upper center...i keep thinking my butt is not big but ppl stare at it like crazy when i go out and i had people ask me if its real quite a few times lol!!! My boss said its too big :/ but he is a conservative older man so that opinion doesnt count...im working out about 5 days a week...light cardio like walking on treadmill on incline or doing stairs or hiking...im also doing weights, squats, lunges etc and i feel like it has improved my results....he didnt lipo my flanks which is kinda annoying because i have lil fatrolls there....and my belly is still a little swollen and my lipo areas tender.

Hey girls,
Everything is pretty much the same...no shrinkage and Dr.Bruno said what you have at 3 months is yours. I did form some scar tissue in my butt so i have two hard parts in my butt...which is supposed to get better with time...you can only feel itifyou push on it hard...i still cant jog/run...it hurts...but if been working out about 3 to 5 days a week...stairs, hiking, weights etc and im slowly getting back to my toned self. Someone on here mentioned #bootygreed ...lol i definitely have that...my butt doesnt seem big to me anymore, i got so used to it. But other people say its huge lol. Anyways, i have my 3 month ollow up w Dr.Bruno soon...i still have numbness in my thighs from the lipo. I also need to go on a diet, ive been eating like when i gained weight lol...so i better chill out.
Wishing all you ladies good luck on your surgeries and in recovery!
