It has been a long time since I created a post. Unfortunately I see that I will have to do a round two. I am very sad. I have a lump/band on my stomach that hasn't completely gone away. Overall I have a better shape from the side but I don't look half way close to any of the transformations I have seen. I am struggling as to what my next step is being that this cost me so much money. There are almost 5 month post op pics.

Sheaven if you decide for a round 2, do you know what doctor you would go with? I'm sorry the first bbl wasn't satisfactory, but don't let it get you down and rob your joy :)

My doctor asked me to wait until I was around 5 months. So I have a appointment for Aug 30th. I am going to inquire about the hourglass figure which still hasn't surfaced or the lack of protrusion or sculpting from my butt from the back.
@ 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.

It has taken some time but I am starting to feel 80% better. I still have A LOT of swelling and a lot of hard spots and lumps. I think I am going to invest in some massages because this is no joke. At first I was very upset because I didn't see a difference. I definitely had to gain some patience because this some trauma to the body.

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!!!

Thank you,
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.

Oh and I bought a body shaper in Macy's that hooks over your shoulders and clips in the front like a corset to attempt to help mold my body. Sorry for the delay. I just started back work and the first day was a doozy and it was also the first time i had to really sit on a yoga mat with a back pillow most of the day. Your body gets sore and strained in that position too long.

Still trying to heal. I have excess fluid in my stomach. I am waiting to see the nurse about it. Currently I am still swollen but I am seeing a butt where a butt should have always been. My energy is picking up today. However, I had to have the Dr.s assistant call in more pain medication. I am unable to function well without it.

I felt what "MsPhatBack" said but honestly for the money being spent you could've had a wonderful transformation with Salama or even Campos. But too late for wouldve, could've, should'ves. I DO hope you do have a "pop" later after your recovery. Good luck to you sweetie.
