“2nd time around BBL - Destin, FL”

Hi All, So I had the procedure done yesterday and the pain was not too bad, but today it is a lot worse, but tolerable. The total procedure took 3.5 hrs. I as soon I am able to I will take pics, although I did measure myself before and after:

Before:
Hips 40
waist: 36
Thigh: 26
weight 130

Today
Hips 41
waist: 35
Thigh: 24
weight: 141 due to fluid, but go down after awhile

I am swollen everywhere, even under my eyes. I am very nervous I wont see the results I want. I am 5'4 and 130lbs. I will ask my doc on Thurs how many cc's he put in. I wanted lipo in the abdomen but he advised against this since it may look lumpmy. Laying down has become very challenging for me since my lower back starts to hurt after awhile. So I try and get up as much as possible and walk around.

Ok I have to tell you this recovery is no joke. I cant stand, def not sit and laying down is a no go. Learning about the boppy pillow on here has helped. So I went to the post-op appt yesterday and was told 600 cc's in each butt cheek. I have lost 10 lbs of water weight in a week and have minimal bruising. They say about another week of pain though..ughh

So from in the last 2 days the swelling in my butt has gone down tremendously :(

I hope when it is all said and done I will like it

Hi All, Long time no talk. So today has been 9 weeks since the surgery and on monday I go in for my after pics which I will post on here. My butt is not as big as I wanted. As I said before they injected 600cc's into each cheek. I didnt have my tummy done before so I am going to ask him about it on Monday. Before surgery I was 5'4 127 lbs..so not a whole lot of fat to pull.

Hey guys so Im going back for round 2. The first time was not big enough. He injected 600cc's into each cheek. Now Im having my tummy lipoed and a little more on the sides. It will have been 5mos since my last procedure. July 21 is the day. I hope its bigger this time. Wish me luck!!

Hi All,
Today I had my second BBL. And first of all the first time they did my legs and back and the pain was an 8 on a 1-10 scale. (HORRIBLE) This time they lipo'ed my abdomen and a little more on sides and the pain is a 4. Completely different. The first time I was able to get 600cc's in each cheek which didnt make a whole of difference. I am fairly wide so there was a a lot of area to cover.

This time with just lipo'ing my abs he was able to do 405 cc's in each cheek. I hope the flatter tummy will help in my overall appearance.

SO here is the MILLION DOLLAR question: The first time he was only able to put 600 cc's in each cheek b/c it was coming back out the incision and same with the 400 today, but I have seen girls on here with 1000 in each cheek, how are they able to get there skin to stretch so much????

I will post after pics again as soon as I can.

So day 4 after the 2nd surgery and the pain is now starting to kick in. I had to go to the ER yesterday b/c I had a migraine that lasted 24 hrs and since I have had a stroke before I wanted to make sure it wasnt that. But everything checked out ok and they sent me home with migraine meds. I took the compression garment off today and absolutely no bruising..weird..just my swollen normal color skin under there lol. My butt does look bigger but I realize it mostly the swelling. I hope I like the final result.

Hi All, Today I am 6weeks out from my 2nd surgery and my butt is bigger this time. The only issue I have is my lower tummy is still somewhat large. I mean I am 5'4 130 lbs so Im not huge but my tummy has always been my problem area and I though lipo'ing it would help. But he mostly lipoed the top and not the bottom. So frustrated.
