Hi everyone,

So, I've been wanting a BBL for about 1-2 years now. I always had a squarish back, and flat booty. I love my front (love my waist, hips, etc.) but I hate how I look from behind.

I tried working out and I lost quite a bit of weight. And while my problem areas (love handles, hips, etc). did diminish, eventually so did my booty, and then my boobs :(. I was a D and now I'm a small C. Losing my chest is what thrust me into researching BBL, pros + cons, etc. Because I simply do not want a boob job.

Reading everyone's posts/reviews really gave me the courage to step forward and have a consultation. I can't believe I'm doing this! Eeeek! :)

I'm extremely excited! My surgery is Nov. 18...and yes..I'm certainly scared! But almost everyone who's had this done is glad they went through this procedure. So I'm hoping with all my heart that I will be one of them!

I know a lot of discomfort and pain awaits me! But it's about 1-2 weeks of it and if others can do it, I can do it!

I chose Dr. H due to his location, before/after photos, years of experience, aaaand** a review posted here on RealSelf. Her results were amazing. Her hips/booty are a very similar shape to mine, so I hope I can achieve something close to her results.

My only trepidation is that when I first met with Dr. H he told me that because of my size I wouldn't be able to achieve a huge butt. He said to expect something more conservative (since I have a smaller frame). But when I went in for my pre-surgery appointment to take pictures, he asked if I was ok with going bigger? I told him I'm more about shape than projection...Plus I want it to look more natural. I'll be sure to re-emphasize that on the day of surgery!


Will post a few pics up soon.

Current weight: 121

Lipo areas: inner thighs, full back, full front...and of course...MUFFIN TOP :)

Exactly! So many girls are hiding it from their partners. I refuse to hide it. He will be helping me. Of course he is scared but he supports me. I dnt plan on telling any of my friends tho. I told one and she was so negative. She was like I would never spend that much money (6200)on that. However, she talks about getting the injections. I repeatedly tell her how dangerous that is. She comments well surgery is also dangerous. I could smack her sometime. Its hard decision. I would never consider that. We need sites like this because it has good support.

I agree slushpuppy! have your man help u!!!! hide it for what though? i'm sorry i just dont get it, its not a big deal and it is our choice, i do understand not telling friends or some family, they are just flat out jealous, so they will be negative anyway! i see nothing wrong if someone wants to make their body look better to them, as long as they are happy! my sister is like, i will kust keep my flat butt and i respond, u go right ahead! i never told her to get the surgery but she likes to keep making that comment like i did something wrong! its just like whatever! lmao and the shot injections are very dangerous!

Day 1-2: Pain has been less than expected. The only severe pain Ive experience thus far is gettin off and the bed/couch.

I have really had the need to take my pain pills. People are right your lipo areas feel like you've gone to the gym but thats it! Ive experienced worse pain at the gym actualu!!

The doc said he put 800 cvs per cheek. Originally he said it was gonna b 1200 and I think the look on face said it all!!

To me 800 is still a lot :( and right now I look lik I have beyonces booty! Which is NOT what I wanted. :( I hope the size goes. Cuz it's huuuuge now.

Also., the doc said to sleep on my consultation with him (on Tuesday). :/. I dnt get it. Most ppl with BBLs are recommended to sleep on their belly! Isn't that weird!?

I have pretty dark bruises which scared my BFF and I think at one point my bf almost fainted :(.

I hope day 3 Is not bad. With my luck u never know! They say that's wen the swelling is it's worst.

Also..I don't want jinx myself but I've had little to no drainage. N I think mines open drainages. Idk :/. But since I haven't leaked does that mean I was sewn up?

Will post some pictuers soon. I took some before the surgery and a few after my sugery am with the garment on :).

I did it guys! After 2 years of considering this procedure, I hav finaly mustered up the courage to so it!!
