Finally Feeling Booty-ful! - Sacramento, CA

Good luck! Hang in there! Can't wait hear your updates.

Thanks for your posts! I found them really helpful. Who was your dentis/ortho?

Yeah...that makes sense. But at the same time, photos encourage others to take the leap. He wasn't the only surgeon out there, and yes he was good. But there are other good surgeons too. Photos are not just about how good a surgeon is--they show the journey of the BBL procedure, and they demonstrate that it is worth it. I haven't taken my pictures down. In fact, I need to update them because my body was super swollen then, compared to how it is now. I had just called the dr. to make a tiny lipo retouch appointment (called mid March) and then got the cancellation call like a week after. It's truly sad that he passed. He was such kind hearted person.

Hey there! Lookn like a greek goddess over here!

Hi Bayarea Gurl,

Im sorry I didn't reply sooner!

Actually I've gained 7 pounds since my last upload lol. Xmas + a lot of parties= me @ 130lbs. My work/life has been so busy that I work out once a week IF I'm lucky and I have an office job. So as you can imagine, that doesn't really give killer abs. BUT! I'd say that the BBL has reshaped me, so no one has said "hey, Sara, you've been gaining weight!" The BBL has made me carry my weight in a much more flattering way.

In the last photo I was a size 3 but bc of my ass I was a size 4- small 5. Now, bc of my even bigger ass and tummy I'm a full size 5.

I totally get your fears about lumps, etc. I had them too. Mostly all of them did even out and went away except for two things. On my lower back, there's a bit of slight bump? I hoped this would go away, and while it's much, much better than in the beg. it's not gone. I have to go back to Dr. H to get that area relipo-ed. He said in the beg. that this could be a problem (inherent risks of lipo) and that he could fix it in less than 30 min. Also, he took out a tiny bit more fat on one side of my lats than the other side. It's not noticeable to anyone other than myself. But it bothers me so I'll get that corrected too.

Other than that....there's nothing.

Don't stress. The worst has passed. And if there are any irregularities they can be fixed quickly.

I'm telling ya...this procedure was the best thing I could have done.
