My booty has been flat ALWAYS...I remember in high school having to pass out papers and all the boys laughing at my 'pancake butt'. This was 25 years ago, a booty was like, in most cases, an arm or an earlobe; it wasn't what it is now... I always said one day I'd get my booty. Thoroughout the years I heard, 'it's not natural', to it's so dangerous', etc, when talk of augmentation came up.

Two years ago I got implants, which made for a lovely 'shelf', in skirts, but the reality is that it was a deformity without clothes, kind of like fraud, and I am out in the dating world- ouch...

I went to five different plastic surgeons who all told me that I was TOO THIN, and that I'd have to gain sooo much weight-two even told me I was too old (42). Not one to give up so easily, I finally went to South Carolina, had a consultation, and a month later, got 750cc in EACH cheek. I finally got the bubble I wanted, and although I'll probably be paying for this for a long time, to me it's worth it- we're not talking about a little sag, or some little booty quirk-we are talking a deformity...

So ladies, and gents, SHOP around, bargains are for other things, like shoes and stuff. This is literally your life...

As far as recuperation, what I do to heal fast is easy and free! I get my booty out of the bed- the day of surgery, and walk!!!! Walk, walk, walk! Wish it wasn't so cold and I wasn't so bruised, because I'd love to be taking my walk in my little boy shorts all over the place!!! Experience and expertise pays!!!

Good for you! I'm so glad you feel so positive about the procedure. I know what it's like to lust after something and finally get it! Enjoy.

If you haven't done it, do it! Save for it, whatever it takes...Don't forget, I'm 43 (don't know why this thing says I'm 42), so it took a LONG time for me to get it done!

Hi Susi84, I can so relate....I so appreciate your comments...I am 41....I Sooooooo want this proceedure done....I have been researching it for quite some time...I am very impressed with Dr. Roberts--he is on my short list for prospective BBL Doctors...I saw his pics...beautiful work. I have an hour glass figure in the waste and hips, but missing the main thing...the booty!!!! I found a wonderful padded pantie--buying/wearing them for years now....helps me feel more comfortable out in public, particularly in jeans!! Obviously I want the real thing....as I think you mentioned before..Bubble Butt!!!! I am from the New York area...wherever I go for the proceedure, it will require travel. Do you know how long Dr. Roberts would recommend someone to stay in SC after the proceedure? How many post-opt appointments are required? How soon could I sit for a airplane travel as far as your know? Thanks a bunch!! From Flatty2Fatty

i love your story and is really happy for you.
susi84 28 Feb 2010
Like I told the other girl, just save for if it's that important to you. I'm not vain by any means, but this was a serious issue with me...The few that were privvy to it agreed I had to get it fixed!
susi84 20 Feb 2010
Thank you~ I hope I didn't come across as if this is a painless procedure; I do feel fine, considering I've been poked and prodded all over-but I still can't sit, I'm sore, not on the booty, on the lipo spots, and I feel WEAK, like all I want to do is nap...Which leads me to say that, if you have smaller children, even 8 days after this procedure, you are going to have to need help~ a hubby, a girlfriend, someone, for an extra week I'd say...
ms.anonymous 22 Feb 2010
aww congratulation! were you awake during the procedure?
susi84 28 Feb 2010
No, I was under for seven hours...That is one of the reasons I used the surgeon I did; I didn't want JiffyBooty done on me. I know of MD's that do the procedure in two hours. It's like when I was in school; I could do a half-ass (no pun intended) research paper in two or three hours, or do it properly and spend hours and hours on it. Yes, I was terrified of the anesthesia-but like I was told, I don't think it's how long you're under, you can have complications-allergies, etc., even if you are under only for a little while. The good thing is you are not told you're about to be put under; otherwise I'd probably still be on the operating table saying, 'not yet, not yet'...

Congrats! You and I are nearly the same age and TBT, if I never mentioned my age, you would think I am in my late 20's. Whoever told you that you were too old was, I believe, biased towards younger girls, because self improvements/mommy makeovers are for everybody! Here, I am known as the "LayAway Queen"! I pay for my surgeries out of pocket a little at a time, and I am almost in full.Which I recommend to all of you out there who want implants or other surgeries, and don't have a sugardaddy(lol). Financing is for the birds! Wish I could have suggested layaway to you. I would like to keep in touch with you, as I have just had my consult, and my surgery is June 3, 2010. Hopefully, you will post your post op pics soon!
susi84 28 Feb 2010
I'll post pics as soon as the bruising is gone - it has gone down tremendously... Mine was partially financed; I just don't have the discipline like you do, it seems. Where are you having yours done?
needsumlipo 9 Mar 2010
Hey there! Haven't been back for a few days! Is there anyway we can put a count down ticker on our posts? My surgery is going to be in Atlanta. Dr. Work is my ps @ Atlanta Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Center. He is great and very attentive to all my concerns and professional. How has your surgery site healed so far? Swelling down any more? How comforable are you about showing how you look now?
needsumlipo 23 Feb 2010
Looking back i see you paid almost 3x's what mine costs, what else did you have done??
susi84 28 Feb 2010
That's all for now...Later on I'll have the extra skin on my stomach taken out, and then I'm DONE! Look at my other posts...It wasn't easy for me to find a surgeon that would do the procedure on me-because of age, weight, etc. I was told it could take up to twelve hours for the operation-and I KNEW that my case/body would be hard to work on, even for the most skilled surgeon, (remember, the booty WAS deformed)...Possible twelve hour operation for the amount I paid or two hour op. for 3 times less? No guarantee either way, but as I said before, to me the money was well-spent. By the way, I can't imagine having to do ANYTHING for twelve hours straight-what a hard job those pros., and I include nurses & assistants in that, have!!!
susi84 28 Feb 2010
Hi all!!!! I feel way stronger, think the iron pills help, and time of course. When I first got home 7 days after the op., my son's request to simply peel an orange for him was too much for me to bear~ The icky part, though, is that 16 days later I still have the drains in and my back is OVER THEM!!! But like the MD said, they have to stay in until no more fluid comes out. So I had a work-related thing yesterday and had to get 'dressed' so I just stuffed the bulbs/granades in my bra and off I went...
needsumlipo 9 Mar 2010
OH NO!!! I'm GONNA NEED JP DRAINS AFTER MY LIPO/ BRAZILIAN????? I HATE and detest those things! :_(

hi have my operation coming up next month with dr. roberts would love to hear more even a picture if you care to share..
susi84 1 Apr 2010
Great for you! i had mine Feb.12...Feel completely back to normal now, except for a little bit of numbness on my lower back. I had a lot of lipo spots-15 total i think i counted, and i had my drains in for 24 days-so maybe that is why it took a good month for me to feel 100%, i think. The booty has gone down some & but i am still thrilled with the results. I'll send pics. once i get some taken... good luck and reply back if you have any questions!
sweets423 2 Apr 2010
I'm so excited I can't wait.. I'm happy your doing well I'm a bit nervous but excited at the same time I took 3 weeks off of work give my self some time to heal. I hope those drains are out within two weeks because I will be only staying in nc for 2 weeks.. I'm nervous about those drains sounds scarey to me. What spots did they lipo you at..? Do you have scars? How was the first 2 days for you?
Good123 29 Apr 2010
Did you have 15 drains for all the spots... How big are they, are they noticeable through cloths?
sweets423 2 Apr 2010
