Worth It

Spent: $9,500 in New York City

I did it because it was always an area of my body that bothered me, no matter what weight i was. When i would lose alot of weight after my kids the butt area always was flat, even when I was almost 185lb at 5'2 my butt was flat. On my wedding at 115lb my butt was at its flattest.

After having my last baby a year ago, I found all the information about this procedure. It required that you be somewhat overweight so that your own fat can be used. Since i was down to my last twenty lbs that I needed to lose, it was now or never.

It's now five days post opt and I feel alot better can pick up my kids and am looking forward to taking a shower for the first time in five days. I had lipo taken out of my waist, thighs, and legs and injected into my butt. Not sure what to really expect, quite concerned that it will look really unnatural and accward.

My butt seemed to look very high up and was wondereing if it will drop or at least gradually form a more natural contour. Please share your comments and I will follow up as I heal alot more. I will be starting my massages next week. Yay!

Hey, he's my doctor too! He's very famous for your procedure, though I had other things done with him. Mostly body work and some fillers on the face.

Briceida (1 post) 10 Aug 2009

WOW!! I defiantly would love to have the same procedure do you have a Doctor that you might recommend?

ButtLiftConcern (8 posts) 27 Aug 2009

Hi its been four months post operation and the results just keep getting better. I may have mistaken his casual approach to him not caring especially since to me it was such a big deal, he is a pro. I totally would recommend Dr. Lefkovits for this particular procedure!

Hi, I will like to know if you have now noticed any improvement with your Brazilian Butt procdure with this doctor as I am considering haveing the same procedure with him

hi i was just wondering during the procedure did they give you sleeping pills or anything or where u awake? also how long did it take for you to completely heal with no scars and does it feel natural as in is there any pain or discomfort when you sit? thanks for reading =]

hi. just answering some of your questions. You are completely asleep for this procedure. The pain would be to great to endure awake. I am still healing and its been 3 weeks, it can take up to 3 months to completely heal. the first week you will look snd feel like you got run over by a truck, at least I did and the bruises; the balck and blues are extensive from the liposuction and the fat being put back into your butt. the results are immediate and awesome, Go see Dr. Armando Soto. You will not regret it!!!

Congrats on your procedure. I had mine done in november and my butt was very high round and hard! It has settled down some, its firm and high and not as hard. I started my massages 1 week post op to reduce the swelling i had in the stomach area. I am now 6 weeks post op and still have a little swelling in the stomach area but I look and feel great!! also, make sure you massage yourself in the morning and at night to help with swelling

I had the same procedure as you and I also have swelling in the stomach. But I also have lumps. I'll be seeing my dr tomorrow. are you still wearing your stomach binder?

lfrancis414 (unregistered guest) 10 Feb 2010

yes i still wear it and I still have swelling...my friend had it done too and she said it took 6 months to get her stomach back to shape. im going to the gym but no results....

I have two quick questions: Can you give me the number of Dr. Lefkovitz and has anyone ever gotten pregnant after they had their procedure? If so, were there drastic changes to your body?

ButtLiftConcern (8 posts) 7 Feb 2010

Hi Dr's number is 1212-750-9494.

kris1234 (2 posts) 10 Mar 2010

hello, I am actually going to see him this week for week. I heard he is the best but found him a bit pushy. Did you feel the same way? He told me he cannot make it big, Just make it look different. I want big lol, So ultimatly, are you happy with your results?

ButtLiftConcern (8 posts) 10 Mar 2010

Hi, yes I can agree with the pushy part. However, I wanted the procedure done so bad that I booked it that same day and had it done within a week, so I didnt mind the pushiness. I did completely trust him that he knew what he was doing. Soon after the surgery I started to think I had made a mistake and should have been more specific about the end result. After almost a year later, I know that he did the best that he could with my body type. I feel that he works with your shape and does what he can to enhance the butt. So maybe in your case, he may say that this is as big as he can go, but I'm sure he'll take more from your inner thighs and lower back, thus making the butt more pronounced. I remember asking him to do a little extra here and there while I was out, but his primary concern was my saftey, which I liked as well. Hope this info is helpful. Good luck to you!

Hey thanks for the response..I went to see him and I am doing it on tues :o) Excited but nervous also, tuesday can't come quick enough..

Hi Kris1234, how exciting.... so hope your surgery went well.... I had initially considered Dr. L, but took him off of my short-list because of some of the posts...also, his pics could have been better at his web site....hopefully, your results are wonderful... My main concern is that I want a big butt (I have plenty fat to harvest so that's not a problem lol)...I'm concerned that he will push to be more conservative...I'm looking for at least 800cc in each buttock.....I live in NYS so it would be most convenient to go to him....could you share how everything went when you get a chance? Thanks so much, From flatty2fatty

How was the results and do you like the way he made your butt

Haze (1 post) 24 Mar 2010

I am glad to hear positive feedback on this doctor. I've been wanting this procedure for quite some time now, but uncertain of what doctor to use. It is a toss up between Dr. Lefkovits or a Dr.Roberts in South Carolina. I reside in NY so Dr. Lefkovits would be my top choice. Can you post any before and after photos or email to me?

hi, buttliftconcern. i sent your a private message. anyway, how is your butt now? are you still happy with the result?

ButtLiftConcern (8 posts) 21 Aug 2010

Hi overall I a still happy with the result, its a little more lumpy than I would like, I guess I envisioned this perfectly rounded butt. My doctor did warn me that I may need some touching up due to reabsorbtion,and he would be happy to do at a discounted fee. I guess it depends on your body and expectations. My shape feels right after the surgery and I'm very happy I went through with the procedure.

Hi Buttliftcon., can you share with us how much of your fat stuck?

Hi ButtLiftConcern,

Congratulations on your surgery. Today marks my third week.

In reference to your last paragraph, that is also my concern, my butt seems high up. Did yours drop and look more natural now. I now it's only been 3 weeks for me, but I do notice a big difference in my waist and abs. I'm just a little concern with my butt. I do have the shelf, (still swollen tho) but a little flatter towards the bottom of my butt.

ButtLiftConcern (8 posts) 15 Apr 2011

Once the swelling goes down, I mean about a year later, it will look more balanced out. Hang in there it will get better, the worst is over. It does take time to see the full effect.

SexxyNezzy (80 posts) 15 Apr 2011

Thank u for your response. I want to post pics but am waiting for the swelling to go down :-)
