Happy Mama!! - Miami, FL

I believe so....my butt is a work in progress..I had ask him for fat transfer to my butt and he told me that there was no need because what I needed was just lipo on my lower back to accentuate it and so is just a matter of time, I see a little bit of the curve but I know I'm still swollen I believe I'll start my massages soon to help the swelling go down, your frame is smaller than mine and you look great and you are still fresh so we have to be patience and just wait for the final product....if I can only accelerate time!!!!!

That's exactly what my dr said. I asked for a fat transfer which made sense when removing fat of the thighs and he said I needed to sculpt under the butt to give more of a definition. Bruises, bruises, bruises. Today is the first day I have actually sat on the toilet, I've been squatting up until now. I have small incisions right below my butt cheeks and two more on each side of my crotch area. My daughter so kindly said I look like I have a granny butt! Not the look I was going for! What kind of massages are you doing? Is this something you do yourself. Just can't imagine someone touching my butt it hurts so bad still! And please work on accelerating that time thing but only in the sense of healing okay?

LILGIGI you are looking hot hot too!!! isn't this the best thing we could have ever done????

thanks:)

Hi seximex...I had lipo 3 years ago with a different PS and I don't remember hurting like I did this time, my current PS lipo the Jesus out of me!!! and it was painful, my incision didn't has never hurt at all, If Percocet doesnt work for you let him know, I didn't tell my PS but I was taking Percocet with 800 mg Motrin and it worked , I'm an RN and work with c-section and post op patients and we usually use that combination which works... Do you know what works for you for pain?

Thanks!!! I'm more than happy , thanks to my PS he's truly an artist!! ...and don't worry you will get the results you want.....

Thanks! I'm blessed to heal my scar really good BUT there you can tell how good the PS is doing the incision too, I'm sooo please & super happy of the outcome can't wait to be 100% done ...when is your surgery? Just follow the doctor's indications & rest a lot! Literaly I didn't much for about 4 wks , I rented recliner & slept on it for those 4 wks...the results also depends on the patient, the PS does the job but then we take care of it! Good Luck!!!

oh u rented a recliner....thats sucha good idea! Probably cheaper than a hospital bed. My surgery is june 1. I cant wait!!!!!

Be cautious about renting the recliner. A couple of us found out it wasn't such a great idea $wise. I was told it was something like $29 a week so I was all for it. Then it turned out there was a minimum of for weeks and if I wanted it for only two weekd then there was a short term rental price of like $138. We ended up being lucky enough to find one at a local auction. We cleaned it up, threw a blanket over it and I will put it back on another auction when I'm done with it probably getting my full $ returned. Check craigslists as well,

I rented mine from rentacenter for 4 wks and I paid $140 free delivery and pick up, I slept on it for that time it was super comfy...

honestly I have not measured myself or tried on any clothes just because I don't want to get discouraged plus I'm not in a rush for it when it comes to trying new clothes on, so I don't really know what size I am , most of the time I'm wearing leggins, or yoga pants so if i had changed in size I don't know, I know for sure my belly and lower back still swollen it needs to sunk in how do i know? I know my body and I feel it, I'm a nurse and since I walk a lot by the time I get home and take off the CG to shower I noticed specially on my lower back it gets puffy....and feel like a water balloon, very uncomfortable and feel like someone is pinching me with small needles (only after I work) after 12 long hours I feel like that......to me I still don't look natural...at this point in our recovery I believe it will be hard to say/see what's fat vs swelling only time will tell us which is which....

Good for you!! Iknow for a fact I'm going down BUT when I get swollen I go UP and that's the part I don't like, I started walking yesterday nothing crazy but eventually I would like to do Crossfit and maybe ther I will be measuring myself..for now I opted to leave that alone...

So how are you? you have not posted any new pics? hope you are doing great!!1

Thanks!! you are 8 months post op right? you are looking great as well I just can't wait for the swelling to go so I can look all natural....

Yes, im 8 mts out and i still have swelling from time to time but its not super noticeable...my boyfriend always says its just me when i ask him if i look swollen...lol! i can actually feel the swelling which is now mostly around my belly button, but you can hardly see it. its no where near as big as it was five mts po!

thank you!! good luck on your surgery!!

You know that every single time I go see my PS I have in mind to ask him but always forget, so I guess next time I see him I'll ask
