Brazilian butt fat has dissapeared

  • 9 May 2019
  • 4 years post
Hi girls,

Just updating you I had my bbl procedure done on march 2015.

I fell pregnant end of year 2016.

I am updating of the latest. I put on few stones and have lost weight and back to my original weight before pregnancy.

I have lost all the fat in the butt. The butt looks flat. No jiggle like before. It is complete flat with dimples formed in the cheeks.

I thought the fat will remain as long as I don't loose weight than the surgery weight
Which I have not.i was 10 stones then and 10.3 stones now.

I regret the procedure my money has been
wasted. I don't have enough fat to do a round 2.

I feel the fat remains in butt for few years . It's not a permanent procedure.

I would not recommend this surgery to anyone.





I regret the mom

Any girls had a positive experience with rhinoplasty? Can you please advise me what dr I should look at, are the scars visiable, should I have a closed or open rhinoplasty, how much time should I take off work, are there any long / short term side effects? Are the results permanent and will there be any future changes to nose?

Advice needed from girls who had a round 2 bbl

I had my first bbl just over a year ago. And I am so dissatisfied with the results dr ortega gave me. My butt seems flat and uneven. one cheek seems to be bigger than the other. I have dimples in my butt and rest mid to top the butt is completely flat. the fat in my stomach, abdomen, flanks has came back again. I have put weight alot in my face and arms area. Any girls who have experienced a round 2 bbl. Please share your opinions and advice to whether you would recommend to others a round 2 or not? If so, how much butt volume have you increased and whether you are satisfied by having the second round. I would definitely not return back to dr ortega.

will not recommend this doctor. he does not care about patient wishes or needs. he will do what he thinks is best. he provides very little volume a inch increase after swelling has gone down. his lipo is neither aggressive. i paid 12 areas for full front and back. my my bra line and upper back is still the same he did not lipo even though he marked it. you will not see this doctor on follow up at imagenes. the nurse will take your stitches out and rush you. the massage lady at this clinic has no knowledge in doing massages. she will rub you in circular motions with a cream giving so much pain and discomfort. coordinators at this clinic are worst only money minded and disorganized. once deposit is paid you have to do all the chasing. overall my experience with all these people were not pleasant. being an out of state person you will just get ripped of from them because all are money hungry here.
