How NOT to have a successful BBL
In 2014 I had a Brazilian Butt Lift with Dr. Aslani in Spain.
In 2014 I had a Brazilian Butt Lift with Dr. Aslani in Spain.
I
have been extremely disappointed with my results and was concerned that
my 6-months worth of ‘glass is half full’ ramblings contained within
this overly positive journal misrepresented my honest results, and more
importantly the skill of my surgeon. I worried that if fellow RealSelf
members only read the first 90% of my writings below they would assume I
was over the moon with the results (a fallacy I kept repeating to
myself) and worse, that it might encourage others to book surgery with
this particular clinic. There are reasons why I was overly positive
about Dr. Aslani and the Cirumed clinic, some of them innocent and some
of them I’m not too proud of, but I will get to that. The understanding
team at RealSelf have been kind enough to allow me to replace my
original post with this text, in a hope I will better represent my
story.
Self-denial is a very powerful tool and for the longest
time I convinced myself and anyone who would listen that things were
going to ‘drop’, ‘fluff’ or there must still be swelling on my back or
my tummy preventing the full results from being seen. I was told I
should be patient, I was told by the doctor and clinic staff that my
results would continue to change. Even with swelling, the results were
mediocre to begin with but I continued to have blind faith in a doctor
and clinic who had been so kind to me. As my results looked less and
less impressive, my common sense was put to one side and in it’s place, a
panicked gratitude. We had built a relationship after all. The day
after surgery, the doctor asked me to put a review on RealSelf. He
explained to me that many people left his clinic looking ‘a million
dollars’ but never followed up with photos or feedback. That although he
disliked internet and social media, he begrudgingly accepted
he
needed to represent these amazing results more, and could I put
something on RealSelf? I said I had planned to, and charmed by his
honesty, I was eager to help him. We had built a relationship after all…
Glorious
‘before and after’ pictures on websites and friendly staff can charm
you and before you know it, you have paid your deposit for surgery. In
my case, being based in the UK and convinced I had found one of the only
competent BBL surgeons in Europe, in Spain was what lulled me into a
false sense of confidence with this clinic. What I should of relied on
was not cleverly lit photos or small-talk with staff, but the hundreds
of truthful and honest reviews on RealSelf. If looking at someones
results in a good, honest amateur photo impresses you, and they say it’s
of them 12 months post-op, call their surgeon now! But if they’re still
swollen, or using fancy camera angles, or pushing their behind out to
make it look bigger, then move on. What’s worse is, at the time there
was very little reviews for Dr. Aslani here. But as they say, ignorance
is bliss.
I invested over a year into this journal. Charting my
recovery and results with glee. But not being entirely honest with
myself, and I’m ashamed to say, with you, the people who would read it.
For the first few months I convinced myself that the swelling in my
buttocks was fat, it wasn’t. My excitement was misplaced. (If only the
fat had been).
After my 5 month update, it FINALLY dawned on me. I
wasn’t being truthful and I started to feel more and more uncomfortable
with my writings here. Although Dr. Aslani had done a fantastic job
with the aggressive lipo to my flanks, and moderate lipo to my stomach,
now that the swelling had gone - my buttocks were the exact same size as
before. Exactly the same.
But here I was on RealSelf, still
trying to stay positive, still feeling indebted to the doctor. And once
they had thanked me for my glowing review online, I suddenly felt stuck
in a habit of continually praising them in fear of loosing that support.
After the 3-month mark, I was offered a most generous invitation for a
second round. He told me if I waited 6 months and still wanted “more” he
would be happy to operate again. I knew deep down I was unhappy with my
results, but did that matter now the doctor was granting me a second
chance? He liked me. It was an incredible opportunity. So do I want to
jeopardise that relationship with them, the rapport, the support, the
second round… All for the sake of some silly online review? So was I
dishonest on RealSelf when I knew I was really unhappy with my results? I
don’t honestly know how to answer that. I think I was somewhat in
denial. I was given legitimate reasons as to why the doctor felt he
could
only put a certain amount of fat into my buttocks, tight skin
apparently. But over time, more and more Cirumed patients have given
their honest reviews on this site and suddenly I realised that it wasn’t
just ‘me’ but that perhaps the procedure at this particular clinic,
with this particular doctor wasn’t all that good. Unless of course we
all have "tight skin". He hadn’t touched my back fat
at all the first time. If I had a Round 2 with him, would he waste that
remaining virgin back fat too? You can’t keep having BBLs. Fat or thin,
you only have so many virgin fat cells.
As the months passed,
more Cirumed patients appeared on RealSelf sharing their lack-lustre
results. Conservative amounts of fat transferred to the buttocks, wide
boxish shape to the hips and generally unimpressive, flaccid results.
The only patient who has had good results is someone who has had two
rounds, and started off with a large rump, and in fairness still pushes
her butt out in the photos to make it look bigger. There was a pattern
and I realised that perhaps my glowing review for Dr. Aslani on This
site was in some small way helping continue that pattern. I didn’t want
to be an advertisement for something I had no faith in. This doctor
performs glorified body-sculpting, NOT BBL. I can’t explain the
impressive photos on his website, but the photos shared on RealSelf from
fellow Cirumed patients speak for themselves – however cruel this might
come across – all our results are unimpressive.
So here I am.
Trying to explain. The lovely people at the RealSelf office have been
kind enough to let me change my first post. But if you continue to read
on you will get an insight into how I was lying to myself, and ashamed
as I am to admit it, to you all too.
Back in 2013, Cirumed held a
party in London to try and drum up trade. Although I was working that
night and unable to attend (two jobs for one year to save the money!)
they were kind enough to still enter my name into the raffle. And would
you believe it? Having never won anything in my life… I was sent an
email telling me I had won a few hundred Euros worth of Cirumed
vouchers! This meant my procedure was considerably cheaper than it
otherwise would have been. Both the Dr, and his wonderful PA Jenny made
me feel very special and to top it all off, I was offered the insanely
generous offer regarding a Round 2 if I wanted one. My relationship with
the clinic from the get-go has felt extremely friendly and I didn’t
want to spoil that with a bad review – or come across as ungrateful for
the kindness, gifts and support shared with me. So I kept lying to
myself when all the while unhappy with my results, hoping they would
change. It’s complicated and
doesn’t paint me in a particularly
honest light. But this is the truth and I’m not prepared, anymore, to be
an advertisement for a clinic that seems to consistently deliver
sub-standard results.
I’m nervous they’ll read this. I’m nervous
other Cirumed patients will think I am insulting their results. All I
ask is… If you are making a decision based on geography, build up the
courage to travel where ever the hell the best results you have seen
are. The fact someone is close to you shouldn’t even factor in. An 8
hour flight? Alone in a foreign country? Just DO IT. Find the courage
and set yourself apart from the disappointed people like me. And if the
decision is based on money… the difference of a few thousand, is not
much if you are already faced with saving thousands in the first place!
Working two jobs and saving up was not easy, and I regret not investing
that money with a surgeon with a better visual track record on RealSelf.
Photos taken a year after surgery are rare but worth their weight in
gold. If you can find someone coherent and who shares honest pictures on
RealSelf, that is the only voice you should put your faith into.
RealSelf exists for good reason, use it!
Years
ago, I first started reading about ‘micro-fat augmentation’ as BBL was
called then, and got excited. When I discovered RealSelf, I saw
‘Brazilian Butt Lift’ photos and was always astounded by amateur photos
from Salama and Jimerson patients in particular. Amateur photos that
looked even more stunning than what featured on these two doctors’
official sites. I refuse to loose that excitement and promised myself
that if I had to work two jobs a day for TWO more years I would do it,
to fulfil my big booty dream.
RealSelf is an amazing tool. Not only for research and making friendships. But for transparency.
To
the people who have followed my journey, one golden girl in particular.
Thank you. I wish you everything your heart desires and that we’ll all
continue to be unapologetic about our dreams.

I loved YOUR review! I wish I could be as articulate as you! And needless to say, reading your entries brought so many memories back. It's nice to be able to give thanks to the clinic on this site in some small way, and perhaps it will encourage more people like us to follow their dream and clearly get very exciting results! x
Thank you so much. Your results are spectacular. Especially the shots of you in the garden. Looks like you'll be having a lot of fun with your new body! I was naughty and took off my compression gear for a few hours to stroll around the park with my friend. I feel a million dollars. It really is incredible.
31 Year Old Male Brazilian Butt Lift - Spain, ES (4 week update)
I'm actually in week 5 now. Just a week shy of the important 6 weeks mark. Even though my life has been extremely uneventful, time has gone by VERY quickly. I have no idea how, or why, but it is very exciting to feel progress being made so fast. 6 weeks marks half of the 12 week recovery period. 6 weeks means I can stop wearing the compression gear at night. And as the weeks rush by, I feel more able to exercise, which makes me happy too.
From what Dr Aslani, his assistant Jenny and nurse Alvaro told me, you continue to see substantial changes as the months go by. I have repeatedly read on this site too, that abdominal lipo swelling takes months to go down. This makes me very excited - as to be perfectly honest, right now - my waist is tiny, my stomach is very flat and at 5 weeks, I can't for the life of me see any swelling. It excites me to think that in 2 months time, potentially, the results will be even more delicious. It confuses me how that will be possible! I had a big belly, I had large love handles, all gone, and when I'm undressed, there doesn't seem to be any sagging skin, any odd imperfections - I am confused as to how my stomach, waist and back could possibly get any better for me! And yet I am told it's guaranteed it will...
Although I do miss the buttock size that the swelling gave me, deswelling is an inevitability one just has to accept. Dr Aslani told me he put the most fat he could into my buttocks. There is nothing stopping you from have BBL a second time, but I want to dedicate myself to staying trim and pert, so bulking up on fat cells again is just not going to happen. I'm happy. Sure, I won't lie, in my mind I had envisioned a more dramatic outcome - but again, with such fantastical results being on the cards, it's hard for the human brain to pin-point exactly how 'fantastical' the results will actually be. I mean, how do you measure and contain a 'fantasy'? Haha, I'm getting a bit philosophical now.
My buttocks are certainly a lot more round and wide, and full than before. I suspect there might be some body-dysmorphia at play too... I will explain:
Before the operation, I would say to myself 'I wish each buttock was a handful'. And I would reach around and place my hand over a cheek. My hand fit around the cheek. Now 5 weeks on, I see there is some deswelling, and I feel a bit sad and deflated (nice pun there!) and so, ungrateful little fool I am, I caught myself yesterday saying 'I wish each buttock was a handful' and I reached round, and cupped a buttock. My butt cheek easily filled my hand, with some cheek left over...
So it's UNDENIABLE my butt is bigger. It's my theory, that if it's something you have given a lot of thought and a lot of your 'fantasy' to... Your sense of perspective will be slightly skewed. The reality is, my butt is a lot bigger now - but sadly, I can't see "a lot bigger" but I know it's happened! The reality of the dozens of pairs of trousers I've had to give away to Cancer Research tell me that my butt is bigger! I suppose my biggest gripe is, the projection is not wildy different than what I had before, and although my figure looks CRAZY naked, in trousers, doesn't stick out in the way I had hoped it would - my critisism of BBL surgery, one which I've seen a few times on this site - the upper fullness to the buttocks are hugely different than before. That 'shelf look'. I suppose we have to be realistic about the nature of fat, where and how it wants to sit on your frame. They aren't implants after all. I will try over the next year to increase the size of the glute muscle under the fat, and again, there is a chance my lower back and waist may look smaller in a couple of months. Am I still happy? YES. Was it worth the money? YES. Is it life changing? YES.
My final thought - a note for guys having BBL -
We want to keep a certain level of body fat, to keep the butt plump after BBL, you paid all that money, you had that fat injected, you don't want to loose it, right? The problem can be, if you don't keep your body fat percentage down to a certain level, you will develop male breast fat. Which I have!
However much I build my chest with weights, the fat is not going to shift, unless my muscle mass gains are incredible and the size of the pectorals overshadow the layer of fat over them (which is unrealistic for me) I will have to trim down. And I will do that begrudgingly, as I really wanted to maintain the size of my ass. 'Spot Reduction' is a MYTH. You can not loose weight in one place without loosing weight everywhere else... So it comforts me somewhat, that even though my ass might shrink, proportionally, it will still be the beautiful shape Dr Aslani created.
Ideally, if a man is going to have a BBL, I feel he should have chest lipo 6 months down the line.
I'm not sure I will be able to to afford this, or perhaps maybe even need this.
So, my plan of action is to gain more muscle on my ass by doing wide-stance barbell squats, continue to build the size of my ass with muscle, so if my weight drops a little to get rid of the man boobs (!) I can compensate this way!
Again - I am loving my shape. And the size of the buttocks and the flatness of belly aside - my new proportions are what are astounding. Whether I can or loose weight... I have such a lovely over-all proportion.
Ahhhh... So the joys of being a woman... if you have fat on your chest... you enjoy bigger breasts! If a man has fat on his chest, he might as well join a circus. Haha, so on that note - I will go and do some more press-ups. Thank you all for reading and rest assured, I shall post more photos at the 3-month mark.

I had meant to say "my critisism of BBL surgery, one which I've seen a few times on this site - the upper fullness to the buttocks are NOT hugely different than before. Sadly not the 'shelf look'. I suppose we have to be realistic about the nature of fat, where and how it wants to sit on your frame. They aren't implants after all."
I should learn to proof-read before I post!

Thank you for taking an interest Fatgurlslim! What I love about weight training is you gain muscle mass, and as long as you are eating enough, especially on your 'recovery days' between your workouts, you are feeding new muscle growth not loosing weight. Unlike Cardio (running, jogging, cycling, swimming) were you are toning up and loosing fat - weight training can creates a different look (again, only if you are eating properly, that's why you see bodybuilders eating several meals a day), to feed their muscle growth after workouts. I think thicker legs and bigger glutes can look better on women too (in my humble opinion).... Some BBL/implants results look a bit comedic when the patients legs are too thin for their rump. But in regards to my "exercise" routine... Think about the difference between someone who's a cross country runner, and someone who runs marathons. Cross country runners tend to run slowly, on challenging terrain - their legs will be thick and built, while marathon runners have more slender muscles as they use their muscles in a different way. You need to put serious pressure on your muscles (a lot of weight on your dumbell/barbell) to be able to rip the muscles down for them to rebuild thicker than before - that's how muscles grow. Cardio doesn't do this to muscles, that's why you might firm and tone your existing muscles by moving repetitively in cardio, but you won't grow them to a substantial size like if you were using a great deal of slow and deliberate weight on them. I want to grow my glutes and thighs and weight training can help me do that. As long as I am eating enough calories, the new forming muscle will be nourished and the body will not eat away at the fat deposits. That all said - I do need to loose some weight unfortunately, as I've mentioned in my long rambling posts above, in gaining weight for the BBL surgery, I sadly gained a lot of chest fat that it lowering my confidence in t-shirts, etc. I would like to loose a little bit of weight, and grow my pecs, grow my glutes... What I understand about BBL is that once the fat cells have 'taken' they are there forever, even if you loose weight, like a dry sponge, they remain empty, waiting to inflate again when you have excess calories. I love my new proportions, and as spot-correction is a myth, I assume, if I do loose some weight, I will loose weight everywhere, and my butt will still look proportionally 'bubble' with the rest of body. OF COURSE I would like more fat in my ass - we want the biggest ass we can get! But I'm not going to make any solid decisions about anything until 12 months has past. There's the vague option of implants to get better projection, the even vaguer option of gaining weight again to have a second BBL. At the moment, I will work on growing my muscles, if I should loose a little weight all over, then great. I am keeping my fingers crossed I will keep my proportions.
I have seen some really negative BBL reviews on this site, and not just one, a few. People complaining about their long-term results - that as of 6 months, they were still in love with their bodies, but after 12 months, they complain that the fat has all been absorbed by the body.
This would be my nightmare, and this is why 'the jury is out' until I get to the 12 month stage. And I promise to keep you all posted with what I look and feel like.
My doctor, his website and the clinic kept citing that "close to 80 percent of fat can survive" with their procedure. The impression I got was they were very confident about these results and so when I read about people's bodies absorbing all the fat, and they are left with nothing - I do scratch my head in confusion. One thing that can NEVER happen to me, is I will be 'left with nothing'. Because just the results of the lipo to my tummy and flanks has been potentially life changing. I will keep my fingers crossed that I can maintain a good level of fat in my butt. I don't think that weight training will effect that (in theory it should make my butt look bigger) and should I loose a little weight, in theory I should loose it all over.
I'm as in the dark as you are Fatgurlslim! But I promise to document my results, and you're very kind for following my progress.
You're too kind. I was advised to sleep on my front, sleeping on my back honestly didn't seem like a realistic option. Of course, had I just had the lipo on my tummy and no BBL, I imagine normally a doctor would advise me to sleep on my back as not to aggravate the healing on my belly, but when you've had a BBL and your butt fat can't have any pressure on it, sleeping on your front is definitely the lesser of two evils. 'Preserve the new fat cells and help them take root, and to hell with the trauma you've just experienced to your front!' I'm confused to hear any BBL surgeon would advise patients to sleep on their backs after a BBL. My backside was HELLA inflated (I mean, I looked and felt ridiculous) and on top of that, I had a drainage tube in my back too, and hyper-sensitivity and tightness across my buttocks. I can't imagine sleeping on my back, it would negate the whole point of a surgeon carefully sculpting your buttocks, for you just to lie on them carelessly before they had healed. I'd love to read the argument for sleeping on your back after a BBL - it boggles my mind quite frankly. Thank you for appreciating my new tummy. Although my current relationship with my new butt is a nervous one at the moment, one thing I will happily scream from the roof tops about is how strangely flat my stomach seems. I have never enjoyed that in my life before. Sure, there is some slackness to the skin there, and one prominent fold occurs, across my bellybutton when I bend over. It may not be the ridiculously taut type of stomach you see on an 18 year old beach babe (!) but for a 31 year old guy, that pretty much let himself go for 5 years, it feels like an other-worldly second chance for me. If you like my writing, and think me a knowledge person, PLEASE grant me your entire belief, when I say I was not pushing out my belly in the before picture, in fact, vain guy I am, I was probably sucking it in! My belly was bigger! HOWEVER, in the 4 weeks comparison shot, I am actually very relaxed, and made a point of not sucking in at all, to show my new belly 'at it's new worst'. I can't yet vouch for the merits of BBL, but lipo feels like a god send, I am surprised more people don't consider it the norm. To answer your other questions: Although I have read about clever ways of sitting down (on rolled up towels, or narrow pillows under your thighs or knee) I haven't heard of anyway to sit that would allow you to drive "right away". I have seen a few doctors speaking about a donut ring pillow, but however soft the 'target' for your ass might be, remember you have your whole body weight pressing down on those precious fat grafts your surgeon has given you. You need to protect them, and keep as many alive as possible, any sort of sitting should be avoided, even for a short time - the general consensus is - avoid it for 3-4 weeks. I am in week 6, and I have managed not to sit down once. I have held myself up with my arms in the back of a taxi once, which was a nightmare journey, but what would be the bigger nightmare would be screwing up this expensive surgery and then always wondering ... 'Was it that taxi ride I took where I sat down for 25 minutes straight that messed up my results'. And even 6 weeks on, my butt still feels slightly heavy and unnatural, I can 'feel' it doesn't want me to sit down yet. I've made it my mission not to sit down for 3 months. 12 weeks. It sounds crazy - but it is possible... The clinic gave me a very cleverly worded medical certificate saying "operation on his back." omitting the 'Brazilian Butt Lift' element of the procedure! So I used that to help me fly home to London with permission to stand. And at work, I don't use my desk, I stand for 8 hours straight. People look at me like I'm mad. But I'd be even madder if I spent $6000 and was negligent with the aftercare. To answer your final question, Male Breast Reduction is surprisingly expensive, as costly as my BBL was, so it's unlikely I would be able to afford it. There will always be something higher on my wish list. I think (sadly) a lower body fat percentage for me, and more pectoral development is the way forward, I say sadly, as I won't be able to enjoy a fat ass. I just can't keep my butt as large as a lady, not if I want to have a toned chest. A shame, and something I didn't think about. 'Round 2' as you call it (I laughed when I read that) is only going to be an attractive idea for me if my current fat grafts survive a year. If in 12 months time I can still appreciate a difference in size, then I will have faith in BBL working, I can ignore the nay-sayers, and my fat deposits willing, would happily start saving again for more of this magic surgery. But if my fat grafts have been absorbed, and the results only lasted for a year, what's the point right? Round 2, could be 'Implants' for me - I don't rule it out. I am so sad that there aren't more thorough reviews from people with butt implants. I would love to speak to someone who is happy, and has had them for many years. I've had a hard time finding information from anyone who's had them for longer than a month! Thanks again for your interest Fatgurlslim, I hope my reply has been some help.
I'm by no means an expert but I can't understand the sleeping on your back position for various important reasons. I'll be honest, I haven't been able to find any examples of people mentioning sleeping on their backs yet - that's not to say I don't believe you! If this is something their doctors have suggested, who am I to argue with their version of aftercare? BUT if it's something that they have decided themselves, I would immediately think they were being stupid. (Though in honestly, even if it's something their doctors have suggested... I still might be inclined to think it stupid.) My ass was tender, and preservation of fat grafts aside, it would just feel deathly uncomfortable to put pressure against it. If the general consensus by doctors is 'Don't sit down!' - which it is - then I scratch my head at this 'sleeping on your back' thing. Your immense body weight pressure, for hours, on these tender fat grafts, squashing them down and undermining the plumpness and attention to detail your surgeon has given you - sounds like madness. There are stories on RealSelf I've read from consultants saying patients came back to them wanting revisions because they had been negligent with their aftercare. Flat buttocks, oddly shaped buttocks, where presumably they had killed their grafts by sitting too soon, etc. It is important ZERO amount of pressure is put on your butt for that first month, and if you can continue being cautious, 3 months. Though ultimately, do what ever it is our doctor suggests. For instance, some suggest a full compression garment, while others suggest a compression garment where your buttocks are bare - there are arguments for and against these sort of things, and each doctor will have their own version of an aftercare - but if 99 percent of doctors say 'Don't put any serious pressure on your buttocks' and if logically, you're aware that you have these delicate fat grafts and they will not live if you put pressure on them, lying on your back isn't something you will be humouring after spending all that money! I'd be interested to know what the clinic you are booked with suggests. Again, ignore what the patients of this clinic are saying, don't take chances with aftercare! Your doctor is the one to listen to (not me). If my doctor had suggested lying on my back... My first question would have been "HOW!?". Assert yourself, and make sure it 'makes sense' in your own mind. Your second point, regarding different timelines for fat retention is a very interesting one and something I obsess over each day! I have read and been told various things, so I have come up with my own pessimistic rule of thumb. What is a year? Compared to how long we've been unhappy with our current bodies... it's a very little amount of time. When I get to my 12 months mark, I will be able to truely judge what BBL has given me, and what my new permanent body shape really is. But yes, you are absolutely right, 3-6 months seems to be the time frame most doctors and patients throw around. I had quite lengthy discussions with my doctor and the helpful male nurse at the clinic about this very subject. They confided in me that many patients are happy at 1 month in, and then suddenly by 2 months they complain there stomach is big and their butt is flat (the explanation was that deswelling for fat grafts and lipo work at different rates) and that by 3 months in, when the swelling on the belly had gone down, and in relation, the butt looked plump again - these same people were very happy. I remember, as we wrapped up this candid conversation, Dr Aslani specifically adding "You will continue to heal for months. You will only see your complete result a year on." Logically, if it only takes a couple of months for new blood supplies to form and feed the freshly placed grafts in your ass (and walking each day really helps circulate the blood to your ass by the way) then I would be inclined to believe, once those fat grafts are 'active' they are now yours to keep forever - so in theory, what you see at 3 months, would be yours to keep, right? Now, to get even more excited... a friend of mine who has had BBL, someone who I have stood against in real-life and spoken to face-to-face, is 5 months post-op now. She has told me that her buttock size has not changed since her swelling went down at 4 weeks. So immediately my heart jumps and I get excited, thinking 'Wow! I only have to wait 4 weeks'... HOWEVER, there are also the horror stories on RealSelf (and lots of them!) of people saying they were happy for a long time, only for the body to absorb the new grafts and a year on, they feel it was a waste of money. We just can't ignore these reviews. That is the point of this amazing site, sharing truth and informing each other. So combining all these reference points... I will be nervously satisfied at 3 months, enjoy my new shape but I won't take it for granted. At 6 months, if I can still see size in my backside, then I will be a lot more positive. At 12 months, if I still look like I have had BBL, I will be DELIGHTED, and scream from the top of my lungs that this procedure was worth it. As I've said, I will never feel this was a waste of money for me, because it has changed my proportions so drastically - but while I can already confidently be an advocate of lipo, I SO WANT to be an advocate of BBL - Responsibly, I can only be that when I have permanent results. And I think 12 months justifies 'permanence' more than 3 months.
You're too kind! Thank YOU for reading.
