“Fat tranfer to my butt/ lipo still waiting for my final results”
Brazilian butt lift: NOT worth it
Pain: Severe
I’m a 37 yr old woman, I have always been self conscious about my butt, and I hated it i would try to hide it with long shirts. I even started wearing butt pads that became a nuisance.
I was watching T.V. one night and saw Dr. 90210; the episode was about a woman who wanted a Brazilian Butt lift. (fat transfer)
Which usually includes lipo they remove the fat from the your back, flanks or a place where they can get a sufficient amount of fat then it’s injected in to your butt. To give a more rounded butt.
I was sold! thought that was the answer it all looked so simple.
Today which is March 4, 2009, makes a month post op I’m sore and still swollen from the lipo. It was very painful. I was jacked up for 2 weeks and I’m still not fully healed.
As for my butt? I don’t see a big difference.
I don’t think it was worth the pain or the Discomfort I’ve been going through.
Was it worth it? As of today, NO.
Was the money well spent ?? hell no
I’m hoping that within a month I can see better results and not feel like it was all a waste.

Hey Lisa...I was wondering if you had an email where we'd be able to talk back and forth about this procedure. I am sooo scared of having it and am afraid of the 1. anesthesia and 2. if i live afterwards im afraid of the pain. I would just like someone that has had the procedure so i can somewhat track their progress. Please help. I want the surgery but am scared...need someones real experience and advice. thanks so much

Hoping to offer you some words of encouragement. I also had the same procedure, fat removed from flanks, lower back and outer thighs and re-injected into butt. It took a good 4-5 months for most of the swelling to go down and see a noticeable difference. As the swelling continued to decrease my buttocks appeared rounder. Hopefully as time passes, it will be the same for you.

No I didn't notice that my butt was uneven, but my thighs were from the lipo. One side seemed smaller, now they're the same. Back then the doctor told me it was swelling. Do you know how much was injected on each side?

I hear you! It's quite pain in the a.. literally! And the part about not being able to sit is no fun either. Until someone told me to use a Boppy pillow. That was a life saver! I hope your appointment goes well on Friday. Keep me posted. :)

Hi All, Well it’s going be 5 months since I had the surgery .My lower back is a little swollen and I still feel some discomfort. Yes, I do see a difference but not like I expected, probably because the weight I lost. In May I got really sick and was hospitalized, I had some sort of infection in my fallopian tubes and needed to have an emergency hysterectomy. I’m still healing from that physically and emotionally. Since I’ve been so stressed and not able to come to terms with what has happen to me, I don’t have an appetite. Everyday is a struggle for me. Maybe when I get a appetite back. I’ll be able to see my true results.
