WORTH IT$4,500
Added a before and after pic to show the exact areas my PS targeted. I requested that the dents on my hips be filled in. I only had my back and flanks lipoed and told him that hips was my only focus. He totally succeeded in that! I just hope that I don't lose any of the volume on the sides. I never wanted to add projection or fullness to my butt. Just hips. If they stay I will be super happy!! *crosses fingers**
Has anyone ever experienced loss of fat after transferred to hips?? Would love to keep these hips for good!!

So today is PO 3 and I have noticed a major issue!...
So today is PO 3 and I have noticed a major issue! I removed my garment to shower again, and I notice major indentations on my hips. I mainly got FG on my hips and outer butt area, and the garment that I have zips up on the sides, right wear I had the transfers!! So the marks from the lining and zippers are all along my hips. Afraid that its going to alter my results :( I ordered another garment, but haven't received it just yet. So what do I do?? Can I wear my Squeem vest and regular underwear?? Or is compression necessary on my butt and hips as well? I read that compression is only required on the lipo areas, which would be my flanks and whole back. Would the vest suffice for that?? I wore the Spanx for a day, but those were a medium and seemed on the tight side as well :( I have my PO appt tomorrow and will follow up with the garment issues then, but what should I do in the mean time?? Advice please ladies!! TIA

Marena has garments that dont have the two zippers on the side or those lil snaps they have those you pull up like spanx I believe there call I have one on right now im mot sure if they have one with the butt out though. Maybe if you give them call they can help you better because I cant one on the site

I've seen different garments by Marena, so I'm not sure why my PS would give me this one in particular (with the zippers and straps like Spanx) Totally not BBL compatible especially when you got hip grafting as well! I'm going to see if my PS can change it tomorrow at my follow up appt. I'd prefer the one I ordered over them all anyways, so hopefully it arrives tomorrow

What is the new garment that you ordered? In response to your questions. If you are wearing the Vedette 317, from reading it, it has latex and that is a no no after surgery because it impacts the skin adhering back to the body from the lipo. So try to stay away from latex garments until at least a month. The squeem is good on top of your garment if and only if the skin, stomach underneath it is smooth. If it is not the squeem may leave lumps and dents this early in recovery. About the garment that you need is one that has stretch material for the butt. It compresses the lipoed areas but not the butt. Your hips will be okay in this garment if you have stretchy material in the butt area. If you look at my page my garment is like the ones Yily gives her patients. Vedette is changing their garments so I can't give u a # for them.

The garment that I'm wearing is a Marena one that has a zipper on each side where the hip area is. It also has the straps that goes over my shoulder to keep it up. Not fond of it at all! I began wearing my Spanx, with my vest over it as pictured above, but even that feels a tad bit tight. Now the garment I ordered was one recommended by another bbl member on here. I'll upload a pic for you to get an idea. She loves it and it seems like it'll be perfect! I'm just confused as to what I should wear in the mean time. I have on the Spanx now, so this will have to do. My new garment should arrive tomorrow. And I didn't have any lipo on my tummy at all as I'm having a TT on Friday, but as for the smoothness everywhere else, I have the foam underneath the Squeem vest. So hopefully that works better when it comes to avoiding lines/dents

What is the other garment from the reason im asking is because im doing a bbl and im looking for a garment with the butt cut out. It states on the site that that typical garment is for butt augmentation but 8 though when u have a butt augmentation the garment had to be cut out.

http://www.bodyimageshop.com/ultra-compression-zipper-shaper-thigh-length/ That's the link for the garment that's on it's way that was recommended by MissAri You can check her profile, she had it on in a few of her pics and she's pleased with it.

I'm just wearing compression on my mid section (Squeem with foams) and some boy shorts. Will straighten out the garment situation over the next couple of days...hopefully. Thanks!

Look into contour md, I ordered 5 different garments from various sites and none of them fit right, but contour md has a garment custom made for bbl patients , love it, it even has an adjustble stomach compressor. If you go their website it's the style 51z

I was able to take my first shower since Sx, and I must say I felt great afterwards!! My husband went to work this am so my mother stopped by and helped me. Removed all the bandages, covered the stitches with bandaids and massaged Arnica gel all over my back. She washed my garment so I grabbed some old Spanx that I had along with my Squeem vest for the meantime. Had some Progresso Light soup now I'm feeling great!! Still randomly taking ES Tylenol. On a pain level of 1-10 I would say I'm at a 4. It's more so soreness than actual pain. I am having an issue with sleeping on my stomach. It's causing me neck aches! That really sucks! But overall it seems to be getting better by the day. Hope it continues this way. Til next time ladies :)
