Round 2 plus a Mommy Makeover!

WORTH IT$4,800
It's official!!! I booked my trip to the D.R. and I can't wait! I have my surgery on November 4th. I'm going to have Dra. Feagoso Baez do it. I'm not too worried about my butt as much now. What I'm looking forward to is having a flat tummy which I don't even remember was the last time it was I had one and when I could see my belly button. I'm super thrilled about getting a TT & BL/BA. I love how I've heard she volunteers her time doing volunteer reconstructive breast surgeries and I have yet to see a blotched boob job done by her. I'm so excited, I haven't heard too many girls complain about the pain like I endured in Texas so I guess I'll just have to wait and see how this goes.
I got quotes from my top 3 docs. Yily, Duran and Baez. Too bad I can't have 3 Dr's work on me at one time. Yily to get a super small waist, Duran to get the perfect booty and Baez for the perfect boobs.

hey sexy mama! did you lose any volume since your sx? I'm 2 weeks post op n have lost alot of my swelling... surprisingly... but so afraid I'm gonna lose my butt n hips :-(
Don't worry about the swelling. You will be swollen and for a while. I did lose volume but not a drastic amount. I have plenty of fat that stayed on the top and now I need some on the bottom so that's what I'm going for so I can have a rounder shape. What I want is projection. Girl you look good! Love your shape! I was in so much pain I didn't wear normal clothes especially jeans at least for at least a month after surgery. Hahaha
Thanks! You look great as well! Girl, I can't fit into any of my jeans hahaha... I'm a nurse and all my scrub pants I can't pull.over.these.hips...lol.
oh how long did you wear your garment? and when did you start sitting?
I bet you can't pull them up. I was kind of scared that I'd stay as large as I was when I got home. I was hating it but thank goodness it was all just swelling. Lol I wore the CG for the 3 months recommended. Sometimes I would take them off but would feel weird. I got used to being in those tight things. I had to buy new ones though. I left Texas in an XL and got down to a M. As for sitting I started sitting at 6 weeks but with a cushion. Only when I needed to though like driving or if I went out to eat & I'd carry that big ass thing with me. Or more like I'd make my kids carry it for me. Hahaha
my swelling has gone down significantly so I only wear my full garment during day and spanx at night when I sleep. I hope this doesn't interfere with my results. I've been sitting on pillow when I drive but otherwise been on my stomach... but worried about going back to work next week :-(
oh and do you prefer butt in or out garment... sorry I'm asking so many questions... thanks doll!
Really? I think that most of my swelling didn't go down until 3 months. You're lucky. ;)
Don't worry about it girl. That's what we're here for, to share our experiences. I never tried cutting my garments but I just may this time around. If you do do it let me know which you do like better. Please
You look good ma ! , boob job Go with Baez she's the best for it!, cortes gives awesome tummy tuck can I ask why you don't go with him
I did go to him for my 1st bbl but now I want a mommy makeover plus a little more bbl? I'm really wanting good looking boobs & flat tummy more than anything. The bbl is just a little extra. ;)
Hey doll! C u there! Best of luck 4 ur round 2!! I'll be flying into dr in 2 weeks too ;)
Thank you & same to you. Yes, maybe we'll run into each other. ;)
do you think the burn is fron the faja cutting into you?
No. I honestly think it's from the lipo. :(

6 months post op & now looking to finish my body makeover

Hi everyone! As of this Wednesday I'll officially be 6 months post op. The pain in the beginning had me rethinking my choice of having the surgery but now I'm glad I did it. I'm no longer flat as a board and love how I look in jeans.

Now I'm on the hunt to have the rest of my body finished up. I want to get TT, BL, BA and maybe a little bit more fat grafted to my butt. From my pictures you can tell I'm not a plump roundness on my rump at the bottom where my butt meets my legs. I want a "C" shape and I'm thinking one of the infamous Dra's from the DR can probably help me out. I didn't have much fat if any left after my surgery which is great but not if I'm trying to have a little more Bbl so I'm trying to gain weight I purpose. If anyone can post email addresses for the Dr's I'd appreciate it. I've found different ones off other ladies reviews and have come back that the email addresses don't work.

About 8 1/2 weeks, updated pics

So Tuesday I officially made it to week 8. Woo hoo!!
I'm feeling so much better than the first couple of weeks. I'm not quite back to my normal self but I'm very close. The only areas that are somewhat tight & sore are my inner thighs and flanks. I love my results thus far but the road to getting where I'm at now is no joke. If I had to do again I'm pretty sure I would.
