To start I have always been comfortable in my own skin, to where I felt I looked fine, yet my clothes never fit right. Therefore, I decided to look into BBL.

My sister and I have similiar shapes and we are both getting the procedure done on the same day. We've paid our deposits and our date is set for Jan 17, 2013 and we cannot wait!

Also, we both wear sizes 12-13-14 in jeans, so we are more plus size... Im 5'6 220 lbs .

Ok today made 3 weeks po and I must say I feel great... We had a lymphatic massage on yesterday And if was the best....our stomach was swollen due to fluid and the normal side effects of lipo... Our ps gave us some lidocaine mixed with cortisone to reduce the inflammation, and I must say it did do the trick.... We Are wearing our garments still... I'm wearing a squeem and it is really reducing/ flattening my stomach... Overall I am happpy with my results... Just waiting on my stomach to go down some more to really See my shape....my portportions have really changed and I am happy...

My stomach has went down alot... After the surgery I looked 6 months preggers... Dr Cortes injected cortisone and lidocaine in our stomachs and within a few days my stomach went down, now I have frequent urination, which I believe is caused by the injections...

I've been wearing a size xl squeem since about 2 weeks after the surgery and my stomach has went down so much I can wear it comfortably on the second hook... I think I need a large... I tried on some tops and I use to be an xl now I'm fitting a medium to large...I have not been able to look down at my toes since about 12 years old, so I am in awe right now... I am happy about the surgery and I think it was worth it... Just waitin on my stomach to go down some more... Other than that I'm back to normal...my clothes are fitting better.. I use to wear a 13/14... Now I'm more like a 12... My waist/ love handles are pretty much gone.. I wear tights with so much confidence, and men just be looking... Even tho I think in big fine I still don't over do it and dress cheesy with it...I did not tell my boo I was getting the surgery and he just keep looking trying to figure out...he's grabbing my ass more and im thinking he has to know... But I'm but saying nothing and he's not asking either... So in going with the flow... I hope he don't ask becuz i don't know what to say, and really don't feel like explaining ish... Lol

After seeing Dr. Cortes previous patients results, and we went with it! I believe other doctors were cheaper but in our perspective quality is more important!

Hey lady. Questions!! When did u start sitting down? 6 or 8 weeks? Hate this yoga roll thing I have to sit on and im ready to go places lol are u still wearing your garment? If not when did you stop? Did you experience any hardness and lumping in the stomach?? I like hearing from other Cortes patients because it seems like others doctors tell other bbl women diff things and we have diff results lol

Hey girl, Im great just still trying to get the swelling in my stomach to go down some more... How you been?
JSass 26 Mar 2013
From the pictures it seems to have gone down significantly :) Hopefully the rest is smoother! Im been good, Im getting a liver biopsy this week, hopefully i can get some answers as to why my liver levels have been high, sigh I would have had a round booty by now but Im trying to focus on the bigger picture my health, hopefully my booty will follow lol :p
elegantlybooty 26 Mar 2013
Good luck with that!!! You health is wayyyyy more inportant than a big ass on any day... Everything will be fine, I have claimed it for you! Sometimes it's just not time....
JSass 26 Mar 2013
aww thank you so much! i cant tell you how much your words encourge me :)

So would you suggest that I continue to lose weight. Im 5'0 195lbs and Dr Cortes told me to lose about 15lbs, but its difficult. I do want my results to come out great what do you think?
elegantlybooty 19 Mar 2013
U should continue to walk and try to eat healthier... When u get the surgery your stomach and back will go in so you will appear smaller...being more proportinate your breasts will blend more with your shape...i wouldn't try to overdue the weight loss knowing how hard it is to do it... If you lose a few pounds great but if not your still going to look natural and shapely...

YOU BETTER WORK DIVA!! you look great seeing you got me excited and ready for mines! how long did it take to fluff and swelling to go dwn!

Looking Good. My sx is schedule for Aug 9. What all supplies does the office provide, because it seems like it's a lot and I don't want to buy more than I need.
elegantlybooty 25 Feb 2013
They provided several garments post op and a pillow sitting while traveling... All other supplies such as supplements, Drinks to stay hydrated where purchased by us....Thanks and good luck!!
ROUNDBALLBOOTY504 23 Feb 2013
I must say im happy my result are getting better!! But ladies the pain is a different story!! After getting use of the garments I like them. That's the main thing u need to worry about garments; you don't want to be like us preggo after surgery!!
elegantlybooty 23 Feb 2013

IamBlkBeauty 21 Feb 2013
Hey! I have surgery with Cortes 3 weeks from today! I was wondering where did you get that butt pillow/cushion from? Also did he lipo any other areas? I went from my hospital pre-op today and it seems like he going to go to work on me lipo'n everything lol
elegantlybooty 21 Feb 2013
Good luck! Cortes is pretty cool...we brought the pillow from Walgreens in conroe it was 28.99 and worth every penny... U are going to need it! My sister and I had our upper back lower back flanks stomAch and braroll, and I had my chin lipoed..he added the fat to our hips and butt...I have 950 cc and 300-350 cc in my hips...my sister received more fat than me because she's taller.. Overall We are happpy! Good luck girly !
