I am having butt implants in a couple of weeks....

WORTH IT$7,200
I am having butt implants in a couple of weeks. Thankfully I have tons of vacation time left and one of my family members will be staying with me. For anyone that has had the implants done in the USA under the muscle, can you tell me how the implants feel today? Is it really that noticeable when touched? I hear so many different things. One lady I met the other day told me her "new man" didnt even realize she had implants in her booty. Any last minute tips will be appreciated. We are in the process of moving but I can assure you I will come back with before and after photos. Please feel free to comment on anything you think I need to know. Is the pain horrible? for days? Thanks RealSelf family :)

Hi, So I live in Chicago ... Had my surgery on June 24, 2013! It was placed in the intra muscle 300cc... Im 5'4 95 pounds. You will be fine. Do not listen to people when they tell you crazy stories. Everyone heals differently and everyone reacts to med's differently. I would tell you to relax and enjoy your last days. I did the same thing you are doing. I drove myself crazy!! Lol!!! Make sure you clean your house, do laundry, go grocery shopping and get a donut seat for your toilet! You will need it TRUST ME!!! Make sure you get anti bacterial wipes so you can wipe the toilet every time you use it! Do not shave any part of your body before the surgery if you are hairy because that will cause more risk for infection. As far as the surgery... Day 3 was the worest because I was nauseas!! As far as pain I took my med's every 4 hours. The pain is minimum because you will fall a sleep every time you take it. How long are you off? I'm just 100% back to doing everything I use to do. It took me almost two months. I was back feeling great after 3 weeks but i couldnt sit. I felt uncomfortable. I drive over 2 hours every day and I'm completely fine now. After the first week you feel better but you are still not walking as normal as you use to. I remember a 65 year old lady told me one day when I was taking a walk after surgery that I'm too slow and to move out her way!!! Lol!!! Week 3 you are feeling great but you can't sit comfortably. Week 4 you can do stuff but no energy to do all the stuff you normally do. If I were you I would take as much time for your body to heal. Try to have your own bathroom so no one shares it with you. I was so afraid of infection I took extra steps to avoid any complications. You will be Sleeping most of the time and make sure you eat and drink lots of water. This will help your healing process! My butt feels like a work out! No one can tell I have an implant. I was never really swollen after surgery which had to do a lot with how my butt feels. Well I hope I helped you :-) relax and you will enjoy your new body part!!

Shelly, thank you so much for your reply! I appreciate it greatly. I definitely needed the positive reinforcement :) I appreciate all of your tips. I actually work from home for my company and I let my boss know I needed to use the 3 weeks vacation I have left. He said if I needed an any additional time he will take it from my personal days. Pretty much he said take whatever I need. I never take off of work, ever. In fact I never called out sick even when I was in the office. Please continue to update us on your journey. I was definitely curious with how they feel. Like I had said before, I have met a few people in the PS office who had work done, and two ladies recently told me they really do soften up well. Both had them placed under the muscle. The one woman said her new bf had no clue she had an implant. They both told me the same, about the walking. The tip about using my own bathroom definitely is a good one!!That is funny with the old lady. Thank you so much for sharing. Be in touch!
August 14, 2013
Oh no problem! It seems you are in great shape! Oh and do not use public bathrooms until your butt crack heals. I just started to use public bathrooms. Remember to take your med's on time!! That is very important... I set up an alarm clock I would take it every four hours for the first week. Walking around your house for 10 minutes every four hours will eliminate blood clot so please try to do that. Believe me after 10 minites you will want to lie down. Also, on the day of surgery make sure your car is big enough for you to lay on your stomach. Make sure you show your surgeon pictures of someone your size with the size butt you want. Oh btw the first few weeks your butt feels heavy as hell. Now I'm in my 8th week that heavyness is gone. The only part that is sore is where the incision was made and my doctor said it will take months for that to go away. Oh how many cc are you getting and how much do you weigh? My sister is the only one that knows and she said she wouldn't be able to tell if she didn't know about the surgery and the longer you have it... It will soften up. Some people say at first it will get hard as a rock but that is if you become really swollen after surgery which no one can help that. Its just how your body reacts to it. In the mean time practice how to get in and out of your bed without bending your legs. Also buy tight spandix that you can change into when you are washing the garment your surgeon gives you. Oh make sure you eat really well the day before the surgery and find a way to use the bathroom before surgery. You do not want to use the bathroom after surgery. Your legs will be so weak. It's like you are learning how to walk all over! Lol You will be fine... Good luck and please follow everything your surgeon tells you to do. It's for your own benefit. :-) Have a great day!!

Not to be too nosey but did you finance the whole surgery or came out of pocket? I am trying to come out of pocket for most of it but I am not rich LOL
August 16, 2013
I paid the entire amount off, I did not finance it. I would tell you to save till you have the entire amount. Why pay interest on something if you can wait a bit and pay it off. But I can understand everyone situation is different.
August 16, 2013
I too am not financing. I have saved for this for a long time :) Best of luck to you. Thanks again Shelly you rock!

Hey you must be gettin excited! I got my but implants done June 19 2013. Best choice ever! You can't feel my implant at all! It's under muscle also 500cc n got done in USA using soft silicone! It feels full and like I've been working out! No guy can tell unless they are butt implant doctors lol! You will need at least 6-8 weeks to feel normal again! I'm at 8.5 weeks and my butt has softened and become more full by each passing week. I guess that's what fluffing means. You will need a hand grabber to help you pick up things when ur alone. It saved me many times! Hope everything goes well! I had no complication or infections. You will be fine and don't listen to negative stories, those people don't want you to look good so they say don't do it. #haters ! Good luck!
August 21, 2013
Thank you! How are you doing?
August 21, 2013
I am picking up a hand grabber great tip girl. You look fantastic. Please continue to update us :) thanks for sharing. I will post when I am back from surgery :)

How you like your implants ?
UPDATED FROM dreamin143
Day of treatment

Wahoo! I made it :) Butt Implants & Lipo NJ

dreamin143
Hi everyone. I want to first thank all of you. This forum has been a huge help. Many of you reached out and PM'd me with very helpful info! The Lipo was only a small amount. I weigh 125 but has ver small love handles from when I gained weight during pregnancy. I didn't want a crazy huge booty. I already was a decent size just wanted a little extra :) I'm excited to see my results! I just had my surgery yesterday!

Ok recovery...well I'm very happy to say I can walk around, slowly of course. I was nervous I wouldn't be able to walk at all. The pain is definitely there, but I tolerate pain pretty well. I have had a BA years ago, and the pressure I had then on my chest, is what I'm feeling on my lower body. I go next week to have the bandages removed. I will be excite because I can then take a real shower, rather than washing my hair in sink, and doing the whole "bird bath thing" :). The pain meds and Valium are helping me sleep and ease the pain. I think just like you guys told me, it would be pressure and uncomfortable. I don't mind sleeping on my belly, I do usually anyway. I wish all of you well and will continue to update.

Thanks again!

Hi ya'll I had my bandages removed and was so happy. I didn't go for anything crazy because I wanted a more natural look. I had a booty but wanted a little more junk in my trunk. My Dr. And staff were amazing. This surgery definitely is not easy. I handle pain well, but you will need to rest! My legs are very sore and I cannot wait to be able to sit normally and most of all when they soften up! Best of luck to everyone! I love how we are able to support each other and share our stories! When I'm up and about I will post pics!

Congratulations ...... Just wondering if you could post some pics ???? There are several of us girls out here in RS land that are interested in having butt implants and your pics would really help ! There aren't very many of us having the implants so all of us implant girls need to stick together .... Lol !!!! Seriously tho , look at all the pages of all the girls that have had BBl's ..... They all stick together , share everything with one another , update one another every single step of the way !!!! On the other hand , butt implant girls .... Where are y'all ??????? I will be posting my journey start to finish to help others like myself ! I strongly believe its so much easier to get through our journey with the support of one another ! So, I think I speak for us all when I say .... Can u please show us the money shot .... Show us that Ass girl !!! Be proud ! We wanna see !!!!!!! Lol ' : )
October 6, 2013
Lol! You are funny. Do you know what size you want to get? I got 300 Cc and it looks beyond perfect. It looks and feels real. Remember the bigger you go the higher your infection rate. Also you want your butt to look and feel real. Make sure you show your doctor the type of butt with someone who has your body frame. The recovery is very slow but it is the best decision I have ever done. Dr. Weiner is the best doctor in Chicago hands down!!!!!!! I'm here 4 you :-)

That's like goin on your honeymoon , putting on your lingerie for your hubby and from behind the bathroom door , you say .... Damn baby , I look smokin hot .... Sure do wish you could see me !!!! Lol, lol !!!! That's soooo messed up !!!! : / Ok , we r Getn somewhere at least . Let's see , I weigh 125 and I'm 5'6" ... Well , I may have shrunk after kids but in high school I was 5'6" ! Lol !!! So far , I've got my two top girls that are 275cc and 250cc , both round silicone . I think one girls is under the muscle and the other in between . I've got this all written down , even one girls name brand of implant ! Lol !!! My hips , last time im measured I think were only 34-35 . They use to be 37 ... They shrunk : ( so so sad !!!! Ok , so this is what I'm really tryin to figure out ... Supposedly , one placement of implant fills out the top and the other placement fills out the bottom ! Ok girl , I'm sittin here thinkin ... How awful would that look if you had a butt on the top half of your crack and then just saggy skin on the bottom half ..... Lawd help me ... The nightmares I've been having , I'm like the Hunchback of Notredame but the hunch is in my butt instead of my back !!! Ughhh !!!! I need help ! Plllleasse somebody help me !!!!!! ; )
October 7, 2013
Lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are too funny!!!!!! I never thought about it that way. Ok. This is how it works... I got mine in the muscle. Yes, it hurts but totally worth it. You want your money to be worth the surgery. You weigh more than me and I think for sure that 300 might be on the small side for you. I have a 24 waist and 35 hips and my implants are placed on top. I thought exactly how you are thinking like "omg is there a part that will be saggy" lol!!! But your butt will be too perfect.., let me tell you why it will be perfect! First you have enough fat to cover your implant. You don't want your implant to be hard that people notice its fake. Secondly your fat makes your butt jiggle. Third with you going on the small size you are reducing your chances of getting an infection.

So , you got yours in the muscle , meaning in between , right ? Not under the muscle ? Also you got them on towards the top so you would have the bubble butt effect and you're saying that it pulled up and lifted everything from the bottom and now the bottom looks full also ? Girl , I go day after tomorrow ! I'm so nervous !!!!!! I don't want a Kim K booty , my body can't take that ! I just want a ill' summing summing ... U know what I'm sayin ???? I want them to watch me coming and goin .... Lol !!!! : ) Right now they watch me comin and they are like Good Lawd , somebody help that sista out when I go !!!!! Such a sad story ! Lol !!!! : (((

Oh , no sweetie not yet ! I'm going to my PS consultation tomorrow not my surgery ! I wish I was having my surgery tomorrow ! Your so sweet tho to think about me ! I had a consult several years ago with another PS and scheduled Sx but I literally remember nothing about it . Everything was totally different than now . I ended up getting pregnant and had to cancel my surgery the morning of and I lost all my money . Then 3 months later , I lost my baby ! It was soooo hard !!!! : ( This is a totally new PS and when I went Kim K wasn't even in existence ! Sooooo much has changed ! So , I have no clue what I'm getting myself into ! My appt is at 11:15 am Tues morn and hopefully I will like her and be able to have my SX b4 Christmas . I have 3 other Dr.s I'm also considering that I've emailed but have not met with yet ! I don't want to make a mistake though ! If I don't feel comfortable with the Dr. And I don't feel like I can trust them then I will walk out the door ! I don't mind going to Florida if I have to ! Obviously , I would prefer to have a Dr. Closer to me but if my only options are ...Have a crappy surgery by a crappy Dr. So I can stay close to home , or have amazing results by an amazing Dr. But I've got to travel then I will obviously travel !!!!! We will see ! Counting down the hours !!!!!! : ))))))
October 7, 2013
Good 4 you! I feel like its a new beginning for you. I went to 3 doctors before I found mine. Things to ask them is: 1) How many years has they been doing this 2) Incase you need to be rushed to the hospital how far is it from the surgical room. 3) what will you cover if u end up with an infection 4) has any of their patients gotten infection 5) can you speak to several of his patients who received the same surgery. 6) how long is the incision 7) what method will they be doing? ( in the muscle or in between) 8) How do you know what size is appropriate for my size 9) what type of implant will you be using 10) has there ever been any recalls on it? 11) can I see the surgery room 12) what are some ways they prep to lessen the infection rate. ****Remember this is your body so make sure you stick with someone that you will you have great chemistry. Good Luck :-)
