  • 3 Aug 2012

After months and months of research I finally found a wonderful PS, I went to my consult this past Wednesday and it went great! She answered all my questions took her time with me even though I was the last appointment, I really like my PS she is not like other PS I have been too. I have 3 kids and I am done with having kids, so now its my time to shine, I'm pretty young 24 years old and i want a 24 year old body and some. Growing up I've always had a lil perky butt, but after 3 kids gravity kicked in and made my booty lets just say droop a little lol. I'm going to be having lipo on my arms, flanks, and full abdomen. I want to do the upper back but its not in my budget right now. Ill post some pics later on when i get a chance.

8/6/12 Update: My surgery is scheduled for this Thursday the 9th!! super excited, they knew my situation and knew I had to get this done pretty quickly because my Sister's wedding is coming up. So they were able to squeeze me in, its all happening so fast which is how I like it! It hasn't even hit me yet that I'm getting the surgery, I think it will the day of the surgery when I first walk into the surgery facility, It seems like everyone else around me is more excited then I am lol. Dr is going to be taking before and after pics so I'll post that up when she does. Just counting the days now...

Only hours away now... the receptionist at the surgery center just called me to confirm my surgery now it has finally hit me! they bumped my time up to 6:30 AM it was suppose to be at 4:00 AM but I definitely don't mind getting that extra hour of sleep. She said no eating or drinking after 8 tonight, so i gotta eat my dinner early. Im nervous and excited, Im going in to talk to my doctor today after work around 4, just to calm my nerves and ask a whole lotta questions i forgot to ask her before. I'll update yall tommorrow after the surgery wish me luck!

1st day post op i have to admit i defintalety underestimated the pain, i had lipo on my arms, abdomen, and flanks. my whole body is sore!!! But my butt hurts soooo much i feels real hard. doctor put 1 liter in each cheek thats 1000cc and some on my hips. My but and hips is huge right now, a lil too big for my preference but its just swollen so it'll be going down soon. She contoured my waist really nice i know once the swelling is down i know my body will be bangin'. Ill be seeing dr tomorrow then ill post some picstures, Ill ask her for the before pics she took of me.

2 days post op not including surgery day, still pretty sore saw dr afifi this morning she says everything looks good still swollen a bit, posted picture today.

  • 14 Aug 2012
5th day post op and feeling way better! still walking like a duck a little bit, went back to work today kinda difficult to drive i swear my thighs will be so toned soon, because the way i sit i put all the pressure on my thighs and legs. i have a office job so its 8 hours of sitting!! i get up and walk around every now and then because my legs be killing me if i sit to much. Alot of the swelling has went down which is good cuz it was way to bigg, my coworkers definitely noticed my butt, lol i just said my lipo made my butt stick out more now that my tummy is flat my butt looks bigger ;) which is believable to them cuz i did have a little junk in the trunk before not much but it was there. I just cant wait for week 6 to see the semi final result.

Tomorrow will mark my 1 month mark and I am still...

Tomorrow will mark my 1 month mark and I am still very happy with my results! So far everything is healing and coming along perfect. I'm so happy i chose to do the BBL especially with Dr Afifi, I don't think my results could've been any better! I just cant wait to go to Vegas next friday with my new booty lol!!

So tomorrow I will be exactly 8 weeks post surgery...

  • 3 Oct 2012
So tomorrow I will be exactly 8 weeks post surgery yay for me! I cant believe i've come so far in my journey to get a nice big ol' butt :) I can say im 100 % healed I've been for a while actually. Thank goodness i had a fast recovery which I knew i would be having because I'm a pretty strong person when it comes to stuff like this. My whole experience was amazing and Im so happy i went through with it and I for sure recommend this procedure to any one who is thinking about doing it, its all worth it. I want to thank all you girls on here for all your support and comments its always nice to know your not alone and there are girls out there that feel the same way you feel, you girls are super sweet with all your comments and i want to say THANK YALL for helping me through my life changing journey. :) :) :)

Jaw dropping..you look amazing!!!Did anything change like how are the scars or do you have any stretch marks from lipo?and is ur butt still that big? seriously..u got the best results
Betsie 15 Feb 2013
Thank you :) !! Nothing really changed I already have a lot of stretch marks to begin with so no new stretch marks from lipo if anything the stretch marks are more visible because I'm smaller now. My butt is still big i measured it the other day and its at 44 which is weird cuz the last time i measured it i think it was 2 months ago it was at 43 and 1/2. I think its bigger because i gained 8 pounds :( so sad about that but i've been on a diet since this past monday and Ive lost 3 pounds already yay! Any how I took some pics yesterday and I'll post them up today.

Did she use drains and what would be the closest airport for to me get to here and what about the hotels in her area?
Betsie 13 Feb 2013
no she doesnt use drains, and the closest airport is John Wayne in santa ana, LAX isnt that far either its probably a 45 min drive. And you should look for hotels around disneyland in Anaheim cuz they have alot of nice hotels around that area.
NOELNUBOOTYATL 13 Feb 2013
I'm not familiar with the area. Is Anaheim close to her office because I don't want to be too far from her office with me not knowing the area.
Betsie 13 Feb 2013
It is, but her office is in Santa Ana and the surgery facility is in Fountain Valley, so I'm not sure where you want to stay close to her office or to the surgery facility? Santa ana and fountain valley are around 15 mins away from eachother.
officerdoofy 13 Feb 2013
Hi Betsie! I have to say you are my favorite out of the pics I've seen from Dr. Afifi. You came out bomb girl. My friend an I had a consult with afifi and we were like "we wanna look like Betsie!" Lol. I wanted to ask you how the arm liposuction was. I heard that arms have a high chance of getting saggy after lipo. What do you think? Was the arm lipo worth it to you?
Betsie 13 Feb 2013
thank you hun! I wouldn't recommend the arm lipo, it didn't do much of a difference for me in my opinion. I wish i had my bra rolls lipoed instead of the arms. Besides arms should be easier to work out.
aroberson13 7 Feb 2013
you look amazing
Betsie 13 Feb 2013
Thank you!! :)
NOELNUBOOTYATL 2 Feb 2013
U look good. Outside of the $6000 what was the total that you paid for the things that you needed the massages, medication and garment? She did a good job with you.
Betsie 13 Feb 2013
I didnt have any massages because Dr didnt really recommend it. medication was around $40, labs was hella expensive cuz i dont have insurance $180, and the garment was $40. But i already had spanx but that cost around $70, and later on I bought a squeem for $40.
suzannedee 29 Jan 2013
I'm so jealous!!! How long did the actual surgery last? And did dr. A transfer the fat with a machine or manually?? I love ur style too btw!!i want ur tim's and striped leggings!! Also does the front view still look that dramatic?? Like do ur hips still like that big compared to ur waist??
Betsie 29 Jan 2013
Thank you! the surgery was 4 hours, and i don't know how she transferred the fat. My hips only look big like that when i have my Squeem on, cuz the squeem makes my waist super tiny so it makes my hips look nice and curvy!, I just got a new tatttoo on my ribs so I'm not wearing the squeem for a minute.
Luscious213 25 Jan 2013
Heyy betsie, just wanted too know when u stopped using thoses pellows too sit Down..and when u drive?
