I have always had a small waist and big behind but now as I get older (34) I see the effects of genetics taking its course. From my grandmother to my older sister, we all have had the perfect shape but now that they are older they all have wide, flat behinds. I dont want that. I do see in the mirror where my volume is deflating so that is why I am doing this procedure.

My surgery is scheduled for July 25! Yayyy

However, I want to know what your experience with the boppy pillow or rolled towels was like for sitting?

Well I had my surgery on the July 25th which was yesterday and so far so good. The pain is not nearly as bad as people say. It feels like when u haven't worked out in months then go at it really hard. It feels more soreness than painful. However you definitely need that responsible person help they tell you about! Great job Dr. S

My cellulite is gone so far, but I know I'm still super swollen. Also I didn't have much drainage.

Well I am offically two weeks and one day post op. I am feeling good and almost back to normal. No more hard bootay...lol however my compression garment is too big and not providing much compression so I think I am gonna go get me some spanx since I cant find what I am looking for to control it.

I left the doctor with a XL compression garment and within the week went to a large now that is too big so I need a medium but I dont want to compress my butt any more than already so I need one with the butt out.

I am being challenged at work with this no sitting thing since I do work in an office. Kneeling, standing and changing positions are all just MISERABLE!! (New Photos)

Well yesterday I hit my three week mark and I tried on my jeans, slacks and scrubs and everything fits still. So for anyone wondering if you will still fit into your clothes.... I do. there is a lill more bootay in them jeans but overall they still fit.

My garment is super duper huge in my waist area cause that area has gotten so tiny but it fits everywhere else so I started wearing the thing you wrap around your stomach to workout but it got more swollen on me so I stopped and started wearing spanx to get the full compression in all the areas.

4 weeks this week and I am starting to sit but still on my boppy. Still a bit scared to sit directly on pillow but I will start to try this weekend. I have lost volume but still satisfied with what I have. I have noticed lost volume in the buttocks where the surgical garment opens up (I guess from pressing on my buttocks while sleep or something).

I have started wearing spanx now for the compression on my stomach but I noticed that it makes me swell more by the end of the day but I do see a huge difference.
