After a couple years of wishing I could get a BBL, I realized it was actually attainable and I didn’t need to wish anymore. I did some research and settled on Seduction Cosmetics by Dr. Harrell in Miami who has over 24 year of experience in the field and is double American Board Certified. I’ll be traveling from another state by 4 hours worth of flying. My surgery date changed a few weeks ago from the 14 to the 12 and is now 2 days away. I am so excited, I’ll be adding before and after pics and keep you ladies updated along my journey!

I got up at 4:30 this morning for my 6:58 am flight! I land in Miami at 2:17 this afternoon and luckily my hotel is at the airport. My mom is coming with me but lands about an hour after me so I will have to Uber to Seduction by myself in order to go get my blood work, pre op, and pay for all the extras (surprise????) done in time. Not feeling too many nerves yet but I reckon I will once I get there! Hoping I’m not too excited to sleep tonight.

I hate the rolls by my bra. Whenever I run a lot my love handles are pretty well under control but as soon as I stop or if I have a big dinner they are back. I want them gone for good! And my butt has a really nice round shape but it’s too small! Because you potentially lose 25-50% of the fat transferred, I want to go big!!!! I’m gonna tell the doctor I want it too big in the beginning so it’ll be nice and big after all the swelling goes down, as opposed to just a moderate change. I want added hips as well. I’m also going to inquire about liposuction of my arms, but I’m not going to bother with my legs, I love them.

My surgery is rescheduled for Thursday the 13th because I was unable to get blood work done today. My plane was delayed and I got caught in crazy traffic and was so stressed out about not getting to the clinic on time. My coordinator called me a million times telling me I had to hurry up and get there before the blood drawer left, and I didn’t make the time back but she waited for me. I got stuck 2 times for my blood draw but my veins wouldn’t bleed (I drank no water and ate nothing because today was so crazy) and I was so stressed out about not getting there on time, my EKG results tested abnormal I think just because I was freaking out so bad. So I’m going back tomorrow morning for blood work and another EKG and I will most likely be having my surgery with Dr. Worrell!

I was sent to the Doral Location for blood work and EKG. I arrived at 9 am and at 11:10 just got taken back for bloodwork. This facility is a lot nicer. They are super busy, a lot of post op appointments / massages as well as a few surgeries and they were very polite and explained why I was waiting so long. I’m supposed to be getting sent to Lux Cosmetics to have surgery with Dr. Worrell tomorrow, my coordinator is working on that now. I just hope my date doesn’t get postponed any further than tomorrow. Kind of a bummer because I should’ve had surgery today, but I’m glad I had some time to explore before my surgery.

I feel okay. Very sore but not unbearable at all. My butt hurts more than anything lol. I’m draining so much blood, I don’t have drains as you can see. I told the Dr. I want big he said as big as he can when it still looks natural, I can’t wait to see! I have a post lymphatic massage tomorrow at 11 as well as a cavitation massage to tighten the skin. My recovery house is amazing and they are so kind and caring, really eases the process. I got here around 1 pm, it’s 6:10 and I threw up a bunch a few minutes ago after feel very nauseous and dizzy since about 2 pm, but I’m soooo glad now I finally feel better. I took a Percocet when I got here then a Tylenol I think extra strength right now, I’m going to alternate and stay ahead of the pain. I’m pretty sleepy.

My recovery is going soooo well. Everyone’s surprised at how good I look not pale or out of it. The wort part has been the massage. I got finished at 1 but I’m still here waiting on recovery house????

I’m so glad it’s my last night. At the home the nurses are very kind. I got finished with my massages at 1 pm the driver didn’t get here until 2:25 pm, now the recovery house is telling me I can’t leave until this other girl gets out of surgery after they already made me wait a [RS bleep] hour and a half to even show up. I’m so [RS bleep] angry I can’t sit and be comfortable I can’t stand and my comfortable I wanna lay down I’m [RS bleep] pissed and this is absolutely [RS bleep]. I’m ready to get out of this [RS bleep] building and out of the recovery house. Highly [RS bleep] disappointed

Day 3 post op I had this sharp pain in my right side by my ribs that made it hard to breathe and sleep through the night. I hadn’t ha a massage in 2 days an I figured it had o do with fluid buildup as I drained ALOT at my 2 hour massage the next day and felt better. Day 15 post op the pain came back after work and kept me up all night uncomfortable and hurting as well as short of breath. Day 16 post op i woke up 2 hours into my sleep in excruciating pain from my shoulder. It felt like my bones as shattered and it was numb from my upper arm to my wrist, I couldn’t hardly hold anything in my right hand or use my arm to support myself. I woke up my s/o and sobbed for 10 minutes straight. Mind you I have an extremely high pain tolerance, the last time I cried over pain was immediately after my wisdom tooth surgery 3 years ago and they had to cut into my jaw. I grabbed a heating pad which helped and laid on the couch to try and sleep. I felt okay after about 45 minutes and went to turn the heating pad off then the pain came back full force and the pain in my side came back worse than it had ever been, I literally could not breathe in. I couldn’t even speak. I had to point and text my partner to let him know we needed the ER and fast. My levels for a blood clot were extremely high but the ct scan didn’t reveal one which could mean it’s very small and the scan missed it, or the pain came from over exerting myself at work. I’m better now and have had a couple of days off and a lighter work load / shorter amount of work hours and the pain hasn’t come back

Also if you read my last update I’m back to normal and feeling pretty good. My stomach looks really weird and my skin is a lot darker where I had lipo

I’m absolutely in love with my results. My 6 week mark is in a few days but I don’t think I’ll be ready to sleep on my back. My butt has fluffed up a lot but I still feel considerable pressure. I had to sit this weekend but I sat on the edge of the chair closer to my thighs and it wasn’t a problem. I probably lay on my sides to often but I haven’t noticed any negative changes. I’m so happy with my results, one of my best investments by far.

These show a lot more of my problem areas, especially my love handles. All of these have been eliminated

I’m about 6 pounds heavier than when I had the procedure but at one point I was 16 pounds heavier. It’s probably the best investment I’ve ever made aside from my car. I also just had a breast reduction.
