So I'm back on the Bbl train, never really seemed...

So I'm back on the Bbl train, never really seemed to get off it...
I am currently planning Round 2 , which I don't feel is a Round 2 because round 1 my surgeon didn't use enough of my fat so once the swelling subsided there was minimal improvement.

So I feel like this is Round 1. Hope my blog goes on the BBL page instead of staying in the revision section. I'm not getting anything revised. Still on a quest to get a booty!

So I have been requesting quotes and researching doctors.
Initially I liked Dr. Cortez work in Texas and then thought about Dr. Salama in Miami. Then several Dr. Cortez's patients started to come forward about complications and deformities and I thought no thanks. One patient in particular had to get a section of her leg cut out because of a ravaging infection. Yikes!

Then I remembered all Dr. Salamas' cases of severe burns. And because I am on the leaner side of 154lbs, I worry about permanent burn scars from aggressive lipo. And I need aggressive lipo to get all the fat from my bra line, armpits and back and put it into my butt.

Plus I don't really wanna spend 10k because this is my second surgery and I have decided after I have kids, I'm going back in. I wanna be a mint condition mommy. So those two are out for me.

Then I was looking at them Fisher/ Hasan Vanity booties..... Yes, yes! They have been doing the damn thing. They have! Even on the smaller patients. But the Vanity reputations proceeds the results, so I don't know if I can overlook it. And they both use drains. I have dark scars from my rd 1 drain points and I really want to avoid drains, if I can.

But the real apprehension is I have PTbooty disorder. My first doc, didn't do it for me, and left me extra fat that could have , should have been used. And although I'm certain her technique is what didn't work for me, I'm still a little nervous that my booty doesn't want to retain added fat. Although it did retain what it got. I have seen several of her other patients had the same issue, so that some what puts me at ease. Known that it's her technique that my fat didn't respond too. But surgery, RECOVERY and just putting your life in someone's hand while sedated and unconscious is a big deal. So some days I think forget it. And other I'm like hell no, hell no. 1 little obstacle don't stop no show.

I have gotten the implant suggestion from several ppl and ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR ME! I'm not letting you cutting into my cheeks to replace a implant every few years. Plus you sit on them, higher risk of rupture. Higher risk of infection which can cause removal. And I prefer fat transfer because the idea of having your fat cells reprogrammed to be stored in a different area is enticing. My body current likes that abdomen and back to place fat, worst possible spot ever!

But I know the suggestions came from a good place ( kinda) cuz you wanna see me have booty and be happy. I think my key to happiness, is finding a surgeon who specializes in slim women, who can take the time to find, extract and process the fat PROPERLY, so that I get pure fat and and the highest chance or retention. I don't want the biggest booty. But a booty that I can see in jeans too, not just the tightest of tight dresses. AND a little bit of hips.

Some days I wake like yesss ! Let's get booty. Other days I'm like whatever. But since I cant stop thinking about one or the other, I need to have it done already! But I have to work on my anxiety about this issue and being confident about my decision to do it Again before I go into surgery. So Im considering having it done before Spring 2015! I need to be recovered before summer. No summer Faja for me!

Stay tuned.

Wish booties

I will love cherish and up hold any of the above pictures booties with class and jiggle.

Side not. Last week I weighed 154, today 151 and I been eating junk.... I've always said I lose weight eating ice cream chocolate and fruit. I'm trying to get to the 158-161 range cuz I'm Concerned scar tissue will hindering the amount of fat they can use.

Ughhhh

I have been struggling with this weight gain. Going from 154 to151 to 148. Last week started off bad. Really bad. I was in a funk and things were just coming at me at once. It's very hard for me to eat when I'm stressed or being lazy. The only thing I usually have an appetite for is junk and since I can't eat 3k or 4k calories of it a day, its not helping me gain or keep on weight.

At one point I was so desperate, I started adding protein powder to ice cream. Not the best taste and my stomach didn't like it too much. It's a real battle with the scale, some days are good, other days are like wth? This is the heaviest I have been my entire life and my body is conditioned to staying in a certain range and to it fight weight. Which is usually a good thing, but not right now.

Towards the middle of the week, the funk started to lift, I got better about eating and right now I'm between 154-156. Which doesn't look much different on me, my weight kind distributes evenly. When I sit my stomach is projectile. Which I absolutely hate. I want an inverted lower belly. I'm gonna push and see where I end up in the next two weeks and then try and maintain that weight. Mama need a booty and some more lateral meat.

He's great at what he does! No if ands or but's about it. I chose him despite all of past complications because I thought he was my best bet at getting the results I desired especially since I had a previously failed bbl.
