Brazilian Butt Lift: Stories

I am so excited!!! Four more days until my BBL surgery!!! I have read so many reviews and looked at so many pictures that this seems beyond surreal...Nonetheless, I AM READY!!! Wish me luck ladies, I'll post updates ASAP.

Today is THE DAY!!!! I'm more excited than nervous. Pre-op measurements: 40-36-50 (my hips are wide but no projection)! As soon as I figure out how to post pics I will.

Ok, had the surgery today...and after the initial wooziness wore off, I feel pretty good actually. Saltines are the only thing I can tolerate right now along with cold water. My butt feels so tight and I'm quite sore all over my back. It really isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The doctor, the anesthesiologist, the staff, everybody was great! I hope my fat stays, and that my butt pops out and softens up...;)

Post-op day 4, and today is a little rough. I tried to stop taking the pain pills, and boy did I pay for that!!! I feel like I have a Charlie horse in my butt cheeks!!! I have been up and out for the last two days, fulfilling my addiction (shopping). It's a little difficult to ride in the car on your knees, but it's totally doable. I'm a little frustrated today because my booty looks like it went down, and my back is all swollen which makes it look like NOTHING was even done. I'm probably exaggerating a little, but I am nonetheless upset! I'm going to try to be patient and see how this turns out... :/

Whew!!!! I am finally back home. Today is my one week anniversary!!!! Things are working out pretty good. I am completely off the pain medications, but I am extremely exhausted!!! I slept all day yesterday and today. I can't wait until I'm able to sit. I'm getting quite tired of laying or propping up on my knees all the time.. :/

Boy have I been on a rollercoaster!!! Most days are good, but some are kinda bad. Sometimes I feel so winded and out of breath. That seems to be getting better each day though. I'm feeling stronger each day, but when I do too much I can definitely feel it. Some days I am so exhausted that I end up sleeping ALL day long. :/ good thing I've been off work or I would have been fired. I haven't been taking the pain meds round the clock like at first. I actually tried to wean myself completely off of them a few days ago, but i ended up having SEVERE pain, soreness, and stiffness in my lower back area. So now I find that I really only need something for pain late in the day or at night. My goal is to be completely off these meds within the next day or so. I am almost at my two week mark, I can wait until I can stop wearing this garment and I can sit comfortably. I must admit I had to sit the entire flight on my way back home. I sat on my boppy pillow. I hope I didn't ruin anything. It looks like my booty went down some, but then again my back is really swollen especially in my liposuctioned areas. I am swollen all over! I am a little frustrated, and I can't wait to get close to being back to normal...

It's been just over 3 weeks now. My booty looks like its getting bigger!!! Yay!!! Been getting a lot of comments (male and female). I can't wait until it gets soft and jiggly. Right now it looks like a Betty Boop butt (like two perfectly round bubbles). I am really happy right now. It also looks like my shelf is starting to take form. I think my doc did a really good job so far. I can't wait to have my tummy tuck then I'll be all set! I'm going to load one of the pictures I took, so far it's the only one that does my butt any justice! In person it looks much bigger than it does in the pics. I will add the best ones that I have.

Almost 7 weeks now! I gained 10 pounds since this surgery. Has anybody else had this problem? Or has anybody tried to lose weight and done so successfully without losing your booty???
