Since I've given birth to my 2nd child 2 years...

Since I've given birth to my 2nd child 2 years ago, I've wanted my pre-baby body back, which in my case means a lifted buttocks and flat stomach. However after my first consultation, I was told that the max the surgeon would inject in my butt would be 200 cc each. I was also told if I wanted more than the 200cc liposuctioned from my abdomen, I would have to pay for additional lipo, but it would not be transferred, because only 200 is a reasonable amount. After seeing this doctors post op pics from his BBL procedures, I didn't notice any results.I've seen on this site how most other doctors transfer alot more than 200cc. I'm pretty sure I have enough fat to be transferred. I do plan on meeting with another surgeon next week. However, I am concerned because of a recent death that happened while this particular doctor was doing a BBL, Ive posted before pics..i really hope I get the opportunity to have the surgery I've always wanted so I can post after pics

So I met with another surgeon today....it went...

So I met with another surgeon today....it went well. I've scheduled my surgery for May 11! Pre op is April 27th. Right around the corner! SSSOOOOOO EXCITED!!! He says he averages on lipoing (if that's a word) about 2000cc and injects about 500cc in each. which will get rid of my pooch and lift my butt. exactly my goal!!

I rescheduled my pre-op for today. I have to...

I rescheduled my pre-op for today. I have to admit, since I'm now 10 days away from the surgery, I am extremely nervous and scared. I have wanted this surgery for so long, but I'm terrified of the risk of death. I know it's very rare, but it does happen. In fact it happened with a patient that my PS did the same surgery on last year, but was considered an accident. Any reassurance, especially from patients of Dr Young would be greatly appreciated!!

I'm now 2 days post op. Up until a few hours ago,...

I'm now 2 days post op. Up until a few hours ago, I have pretty much just slept. My butt and stomach are so sore that I'm literally popping hydrocodone every 4 hrs. I have walked from room to room everyfew hours to relieve the pressure from my bottom but after a few min of standing I feel dizzy. Now that I'm in a little less pain I'm going to try to walk around more. I took off my garment to shower today and did feel extremely dizzy and nauseous as warned. However I wasn't as bruised as I had expected. Ill post an update again in a few days. I was wondering in what position I should b sleeping in. My butt hurts from constantly being on it. Ill call the nurse tomorrow

6 days post op! My butt doesnt hurt as much since...

6 days post op! My butt doesnt hurt as much since I started laying on my stomach. I've posted pics. Love how my butt looks but anxious for my stomach to flatten. i'm eating very well now. drinking 2 liters of water with 3 small portioned meals a day. im hoping after 1 month post op, i'll be down to 120. I was 135 pre op

I'm now 16 days post op. I know I probably...

I'm now 16 days post op. I know I probably shouldn't have, but I've taken off my garment. It hurt so much to have it on. I feel soooo much better without it. I'm thinking of putting it back on though because I'm not seeing the results I wanted in my lower abdomen. My butt is still a good size and I hope it doesnt get smaller. The only time I'm in pain anymore is when I sleep. My lower back and hips swell up and I take hydrocodone to help me sleep. Other than that, some parts of my abdomen, back, and hips are still a little hard. It sort of feels like its damaged tissue or something. Not sure if thats normal. Also when I sit, it feels like I'm sitting on something hard. More on the left cheek than the right.
Great review?

Hey Van777, You really do look great. This is the best work I have ever seen done by a doc in TX. You actually look amazing. Can wait to join you in the BBL dept...Post more pix.
Van777 27 May 2012
Thanks so much!! I love my booty, but I really hope my abdomen flattens more. I'm sure it will, since it's only been 2 weeks. Good luck on you BBL. And yes, I will definitely post more pix. I like seeing the before and afters

You should but your garment back on or try a stage two garment n you shouldn't sit on it yet with out the bobby pillow n even wen u can start sitting u going to feel like u sitting on it remote control
Van777 27 May 2012
I had asked about being able to sit on it and my doc said that because all the fat was injected on the top of my butt cheeks I could sit since no pressure would be put on the top. But you're right, it does feel like I'm sitting on a remote or something. I might look into a more comfortable garment.

Hi Van777,
You look great. I was told that there were no good doctors in texas, none as good as salama. How do you feel?
Van777 27 May 2012
Well the doctor that did my BBL is known in San Antonio for his breast augs and being that I'm only 2 weeks post op, I'd have to wait and see how much Im happy with the results to be able to decide if I'd recommend Dr Young.
