I've been wanting but implants for years but very nervous about getting them Heard about all the horror stories , did some research and found a wonderful doctor and I am so pleased with my results . I've got one more week until I could actually sit down right now I'm laying on my side or my stomach but I have no pain at all . I've got to wear a garment for three months I guess that ensures the implants so they don't shift . The first two weeks it was very uncomfortable it was hard to sleep but after that you just get used to it

He places the implant underneath the fascia which should isolate the implant from the sciatic nerve .

I read that smoking is dangerous when you are getting implants
User Avatar
September 2, 2016
Just to be safe drink a lot of water & die down on the smoking just so they come out right

If you do smoke and it's hard to quit trying to smoke at least one a day and at least a lot of water that way it's a lot healthier with the water and it might just flush away that cigarette

You have an amazing body as it is so don't go more than 400 because you don't want to look crazy you want to look natural

Believe me it took me two years to finally do this and I had the same concerns you do and look how mine turned out I am so happy and look at my scar it's been three weeks and it looks like my scars hardly there and my butt turned out amazing just look for a good doctor , my doctor has done a lot of butt implants I seen a lot of before and after pictures and he said that he does these three implants a week on the butt

I know we did a bad surgery on some lady for a butt lift but maybe he doesn't specialize in that but I know he does specialize in implants for the butt , i've seen over 60 pictures of before and after and they all looked amazing that's why I chose him
