Well....all my life I was always self-conscious about my body. I was always chunky even as a kid. When I reached my lowest weight in high school, I looked nice molded into clothes but never out of them. I would never wear dresses or skirts because they would look horrible and wear long shirts covering my butt. OH and SPRING/SUMMER is the WORST. I can't even use layers to hide anything!!!! I used to think that if I put on weight I would gain a butt like my friends did. I had to learn the hard way that genetics also plays a role in your body structure. So here I am 29 and wanting to have my last year of my twenties with confidence in myself. Hopefully, Dr. Francis can make that happen. These pics are taken today. Wish me Luck.......stomach in knots.
P.S. I am having my abdomen, upper and lower back, and flanks lipoed and fat grafting to my Butt and hips. As you can see I have no type of definition. I was told I can get at least 700-800ccs. I definitely have wayyyyyyyy more than enough fat to get fuller hips and butt.
Today is day 2!!!!!! Going in yesterday of course...

Going in yesterday of course I was nervous. However, the process was routine and the staff was friendly and attempted to put my fears at ease. General anesthesia wasn't so bad. I didn't even feel the needle or know when I knocked out. I did wake up to PAIN. Not soreness pain. I was told by the surgeon that I have a very flat butt with tight skin so it may be difficult to put in a lot of cc's or give it the perfect roundness. I just told him to put as much as the butt allows.
Right now I am still in pain and taking my meds religiously. I was able to stand up in a 3 min non-fainting spell to snap a pictures. As my endurance increases I will post more. Also I am so swollen I look bigger in my stomach and back to me. Well here goes continuous healing. My incisions are already starting to itch me.
P.S. my surgeon was able to get 750 in my butt while others told me the most 400-500. We shall c!
Still trying to heal. I have excess fluid in my...

I have my almost two week check u. I am shy of a day. I received 750cc per cheek. I still have a lot of swelling in my lower back and stomach, with lumps that you can see on my upper abs. I was told I didn't need the compression garment any longer but I will continue to wear it during the day because it feels better with it.
Hopefully in another two weeks i will be significantly less swollen!!!
It has been a long time since I created a post....

@ Cinnamon2. I have decided for a round two. I am unsure who my doctor will be. I don't know if the revision with my current doctor will give me the results like Salama, Jahno, or Jimmerson at this point. It is disheartening.
I wanted to ask you about the scaring. Do you ave any?Dr. Francis said the incisions will be tiny but I'm just wondering.
He gave me a binder which I don't feel was as supportive as the other ladies who seem to have full garments. Unfortunately its not like in Florida where the price includes massages which would have been great. The price was for the surgery, binders, and follow up care.
I'm having back, belly and side lipo, so I'm trying to get a feel for what to expect.I'm extremely nervous as I've never had a surgery before...I'm also a big scary cat soooo..I think you can imagine how nervous I am.
