@JasPink - thanks! UGH I love my TT so much! I have absolutely 0 regrets!! have to post recent pics since I even look more amazing now... it is unreal! I am 6mos post op and started working out! So I am really motivated! My doc says my tummy looks like the one of a 20yr old (smiles). Recovery from BBL what a pain in the ASS that was not in a painful sense. You get so paranoid of not wanting to loose fat graft that I personally did not sit for a full 2 weeks. I had to sit at work but used a special pillow and got up like every 15mins and for the most part just stood up! not sitting down is a challenge only in the sense that mentally we are used to sitting down, right? As long as you don't sit on that newly grafted buttocks then you should be able to hold on to the CCs injected. I was injected 400ccs on each cheek as I was looking to get a nice bubble shape not be in the next VH1 video booty popping. I love it - it's not HUGE it's not tiny and the graft did stay - I am at 3mos out and have a really nice round butt. Once you reach the 1mo mark of no sitting then you can trust that will be ur final results. Docs suggest not to sit for 2 weeks and if you do for 15min max and on the special boppy pillow!! that is the simple key to a BBL! PS: if you can do the TT before Jan I would highly recommend as you really need a good 6mos to heal and go through what I call swell hell!! so you won't be 100% ready for summer either. Even though I was all out in the sun and on vacation it is doable BUT I would say my real summer with my new body will be next year. The line would have faded no longer swell and then don't have to worry about tanning (very important not to tan your TT line). Hope this was enough info for you. oh and I highly recommend my DOC! See other pics - my tummy does not look pulled down - I have the cutest belly button - he removed all of my stretch marks even the ones on the side and the line is great! (will post recent pics soon)
I also went to Dr. Shafer and I am in love with my new self - he is truly truly truly an expert at what he does and the nicest person EVER!!! He held my hand through out the whole process! I have pictures if you want to see my profile but you should post some too!! I am going in again for a boob job - YEP that's how much I love his work!!! I got an extended tummy tuck - brazilian butt lift - chin liposuction - and next week BOOBS - happy healing!!!
@babylucy88 - just posted my pictures of side views of my extended TT - see no stretchmarks!! just took those pics today - I am at almost 4mos (5 days until I reach the 4mos mark). Hope that helps!
@babylucy88 - thanks for the compliment! I thought it was impossible as well but while my Dr. did not give me the 100% guarantee that they could all be removed he did say with an extended TT he can get rid of most of the ones on the side and if anything they would sit on the lower side of my body BUT in the operating room guess he worked his magic and left me with 0 marks!! I couldn't be happier as my main concern was having stretchmarks that after a TT will look obviously pulled down and to top it off a scar from hip to hip - that was my biggest fear!! I will take some pics today and post. Will reply when I do so you can view my profile again. I went to the beach this weekend and cried as I was finally able to strut around in a bikini!!! And sat with everyone vs. secluded in a corner as I did in the past.
