So 15 months later and I get depressed every couple months after my butt shrinks more and more. It's funny because you cN actually feel it shrinking. All off a sudden your butt will feel really sore and you will feel these pinches of pain and almost like little electric shocks and the next day your butt is flatter! Still to this day my butt gets sore easily when I sit for periods of time, I feel like my butt got over stuffed with so much fat that it all died in there. I never got one stretch mark which my roomy did immediately and I think my fat cells died right after surgery because the fat never felt like it was a part of my body. Well I wanted to keep updating because I'm sure someone else is experiencing this and I wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else?? If so did they lose all their fat?? It seems like I'm going back to my original flat pancake behind... Almost feel like I'm going back to being a frog.. So sad!!!

revision is not 1k lol most drs do only charge anesthesia fee if its something they messed up. but if its just the patient not satisfied they charge damn near the entire surgery price.

Exactly! If you lose weight after your BBL you're gonna lose some of your booty.

I weigh 7lbs more now then I did at the time of my surgery and mine shrank. UUGGG! Im thinking that if you really had no butt like myself before that you will most likely need a round 2. I am thinking about that now

I've heard drs here say its harder for the fat to survive in leaner more fit patients that's why they recommend butt implants. I hope everything works for you if you decide to do a revision though!

Ellerenne, yeah I kinda had a feeling that it would be hard for fat to survive on me but just wanted to make people aware so that they don't feel alone if this happens to them.

Hello Ladies I just made 11 Months Post op and I have to say this surgery and the 10k I spent and time and recovery was basically a waste of time for me. My Fat is 90% gone, I'll post pictures later, but worst part is that every month I loose more and more and I just really wish I was told from the beginning that this was a possibility. Yes I did everything told, no I didn't sit, yes I ate healthy and still nothing. I had a perfect body and was super happy for about 6 months and now I'm back to wearing long shirts and long jackets. :( I just want to put it out there because no one tells you that this is a possibility, and perhaps if they told me ahead of time, i may have made a different decision. I know my body and I know it doesn't like to retain fat. Some people say if the surgeon is good, most of the fat will survive. Is that true, could Salama not have done a good job because I was his fourth patient of the day and my surgery was scheduled at 6pm?? I guess I'll never know! However, I did call to find out if this is typical and Nancy from what she said made me seem like this can be the outcome. Now she asked me if I wanted a revision and the thought in my head was, why would I pay you 10k more if the fat didn't survive the first time! Anyways yes I'm bitter yes I'm upset, this surgery was 6 months prep, plus now a year of recovering and doing everything possible for this last year not to loose fat! It's a mental and physical trial that you go through and right now I do feel like I'm entitled to money back because I'm pissed off, but obviously that will not happen nag I just want to close this chapter in my life and I guess it wasn't meant to be.

i must say your abs look amazing . ! oh my. Yes i agree with the two previous comments looks like u lost weight , what are your current measurements n weight ? i think if u try to gain a little weight those fat cells will enlarge. I m a thin girl myself and results were not big at all on me, but i m back to my previous weight 115., trying to maintain my weight at least at 120 so i can some kind of results

Revisions dont cost the same as surgery with salama. A revision is free. You pay for anesthesia and surgical fee (i believe) which is about 1800 dollars.

I agree with the others, try putting on some weight and try doing the stepper (exercise machine) that helped my booty pop. Every doctor tells you about the possibility of loosing some of the fat cells. Wasn't that explained to you?

Hi ladies... What a roller coaster ride this process has been! I went from a really hard recovery, jumping back to work two weeks after my surgery! Being super ecstatic because for about 6 months my body was exactly what I always dreamed off, to waking up one day and realizing I was loosing all my fat! Now was the surgery worth it for me... I guess yes and no. Yes because I still think I look better than I did before, no because I temporarily had the body I dreamed off and was so happy to now I'm depressed because I feel like it's gone and I am 7 months post off and I am not sure if in 3 months the little bit of fat I had might be all gone. I am giving it to 12 months to figure out what the final results are. To me the word fluffing never existed and I think I lost probably more than 70% of the fat injected. Not sure if this is because of me, the procedure or just my body not accepting the fat, but want people to know that you can loose the fat and at least is never had an infection or anything really bad along those lines.. Anyways I am sad but will update in a few months!

Miss RT my waist is a 27 butt 38 1/2 which is very close to what I had before, I think Salama just does a hell of a job shaping you! That I think he's great at. I've been athletic build hence why it was hard to gain weight... Surprisingly I don't really work out, that's just from the lipo, dieting and working in NYC, which means I walk a ton! Hope you have great bbl results!!

We are sorta the same measurements . 36c.24.37.5 I started doing squats hoping to get at least the other half of inch increase. Overall your shape has changed tremendously , are u contemplating a second round ?

Despite your butt not being as big as you'd wish, I think you look awesome. Did you sit a lot after surgery?

You look extremely lean compared to your 4 and 7 month pics. My guess is that if you gained weight, much of it would go to your butt (and perhaps it would look just like it did in those pics). The experts say fat cells don't ever go away they just shrink. By the way you have a really great figure and awesome abs!
