“Regression! I'm so sad!”
Spent: $7,000 in California
ok, I'm hearing different do's and dont's. I've heard that I can go back to work after a week, I can sit on it right after, so I'm now I'm confused after reading slot of reviews. I know that each person is different "butt"....;) it's all the same procedure so what is the proper way of caring for yourself after your surgery? The do's and dont's that I mentioned came from a doctor......smh and not knowing what to believe.

Ok, so I had my bbl yesterday. Still n pain but up and walk g already. I never been tired of laying down n my life.....lol. My doctor and his staff was awesome, I can't say that I would do again because of my low pain tolerance and the nausea. Two things I don't like, pain and vomiting. But I'm happy I tried it, and already you see major improvement to my body. As you see I didn't have one....lol. I straight up and down with rolls to go with it. Being it's hasn't been 24hrs yet I can't give you guys pics, but believe you me I will as soon as I can;) the pain is mostly in my butt and my lower stomach when I stand up, other then that, I'm doing well. On my way back to sleep now, ttyl.:)

I'm up and walking more and more everyday. I'm not on the pain meds that much anymore, I'm down to one pill every 6 to 8 instead of 2 every 4. I'm still sore but manageable now. All I'm doing is eating a little fruit, soup, and yogurt and back to sleep, and using the restroom. I still have yet to do #2. Idk what I'm going to do it's ar just wiping urine, I guess I have to call nurse moma to wipe me....lol. So embarrassing

Ok, today is greater than the previous days. Im doing jus great, I'm sitting on the toilet now. I put on spandex and a white tank top. Right now now I have a speed bump behind me with a some hips......lol. I have to wait to see what the results are as far as the shape. What I do know is I have a table top ass now, I can see that much but as far as the roundness I can't tell. Jus a wide load coming thru.......lol. Most of the sweeping has gone down, but I have alot left also. So really just time and patience. I'm really excited because with all said and done, I have something I never had ever before(a butt). Stomach is flat like in high school, and butt is like one of the other classmates....lol. Still taking my meds faithfully and getting the much needed rest that's required. Enjoying the new me.....until next time;)

The 22nd made week one for me. Everything is going well. I'm off my meds except the antibiotics and the herbal meds for swelling. I'm still continuously laying down but the pain has subsided. So far I'm not too impressed with the results, but the dr and staff says I need more time to heal. For starters he only put 400cc ea. Cheek due to that's all it would take(not his fault), but they're saying it will expand after time. I have a nice size butt but I wanted to projection to it, so we' ll see. Yesterday, 04/25 I was able to put my compression garment on the second notch, so I'm happy about that. I still have visible swelling in my lower stomach, but the dr said that will go down within time also. Patience is a virtue!

Today makes two weeks and one day. I love what i see so far. I finally took the garment off and looked at myself.......WoW! It could be bigger but I'm satisfied because I had NOTHING before. After pix coming soon. I want to wait until one month, also I'm on the last row of my compression garment, happy that the swelling is going down at a rapid pace so far but not happy that I forsee myself spending one hundred and sixty dollars three more times. Any suggestions on where I can get one besides the doctors office?

05/06 makes 3weeks post op. I'm still hunched over after sitting or laying down. If I stretch, bend or twist I get pain in my back and stomach. I'm still swollen and back on meds. Looking gud nevertheless. I'm happy and jus waitin for time to go by. One more week for after pix guys. Jus trying to give it a lil more time for swelling to go down. Until next time, shake what dr gave ya!........lol

i am 3 days away from being one month post op(05/15/2011). i am still swollen around the stomach and waist area but looking much better than i had before. i would have loved to been a little bigger but the doctor says it will stretch after it softens up. my stomach is much flatter, the rolls on my back are minimal, and i think the waist and stomach will eventually go down with time giving the illusion of a much bigger butt. will keep you guys updated with more pictures as time goes on.

What NOT to do........don't wait too long when ur garment isn't fifth tight n e more. It's been 12 days and my stomach has a bulge(kangaroo pouch). I had been searching for a less pricier garment but in the end I still ordered it, so ladies DO NOT hestitate on buying ur garments they are an essential part of ur body. You must have at ALL times a garment that has a tight fit to ur body or swelling will occur in places u don't want it. It's sad I had to find out but the gud news is, it will go away once I'm in my new garment. Happy healing, n wish me luck I'm gonna need it or I will b very disappointed:(

Everything is awesum n well. I don't think I would ever do it again or n e type of cosmetic surgery, but it was well worth it. My pain tolerance was way too low, I felt like I was dying the first n second day. Transitioned very smoothly, along wit the heal'n.

1. Buy a car/boat funnel to urine in. You'll see why.
2. Buy a massage table from Costco with an adjustable headrest. It will save your neck and lower back.
3. Buy cases of H20 since your at Costco
4. Your first four days will be painful, but pain pills will help. Try to avoid them due to constipation.
5. Lift the toilet seat up, roll and sit on a thick towel/ on your thighs and take care of bowels sideways.
6. Bring a pillow to lay under your belly when in a back seat of a car.
7.Use your garment and massage gently after 2 weeks
8. Be kind to your love ones whom will be there for you.
9. Be patient with yourself
10. Bring pillow (tempur-pedic) to cafes/restaurants to kneels on for comfort
11. Lastly, buy NON-STICK gauze.
That's my 11 tips. Hope I helped.
I had my 12 days follow up Dr. appt. yesterday and we are pleased with the results so far. He said, it's time to gently massage. All the best to you. Hope to hear from you while in recovery.
Good luck today! Hope everything goes well for you. :)
I received my first neck, arms, legs and gentle lower back massage. I'm in my 2 weeks and a day, I'd rather massage my fanny myself tenderly...still hard and in compression garment no foam need anymore. Be a beautiful soldier! I'm here if you need a me. Good job Tiger!
Happy Healing!
