- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

4 weeks post op!
Hey Ladies!
I'm now sitting and sleeping on my back ( finalllly!!). No changes in volume . I go back and forth between 38.5 to 39 inches. I still have a ton of swelling in my back and lower stomach. My legs are also still really swollen lol. I took a picture of myself earlier today and my left leg was bigger than my right lol, it looked so funny. Can't wait till all this swelling goes away.
I definitely think the massages help the swelling go away faster. I don't think they alter your outcome but they get you there faster. I went to a thai massage therapist who did deep tissue and oooohhh it hurt so bad even after 3+ weeks had gone by. It burned when she was massage me. Afterwards I was pretty sore from that but my body seemed less swollen and some of the lumps had softened significantly.
I've got booty greed on my mind lol. I want to do round 2. Dr. Salzhauer did a great job with my body and he took all the fat he could and put it back in. If I do round two, I know i have to put on 15-20 lbs though. :/ I'm not sure if I am going back to Dr.S because I don't want to travel that far again. I'm looking to doctors in the southern california for a shorter flight. flying back from surgery was a 7 hour long flight so I'm looking to really cut that down.
Anyway, I'll check back in another few weeks :)

Day 4 post op Haven't been getting really good...
Day 4 post op
Haven't been getting really good sleep because it's so uncomfortable to lay on my stomach for long. I'm a side sleeper. Swelling is definitely going down and I'll have to get a new garment soon. I'm currently wearing a size small for the garment. Finally took a poop today. Looks like I didn't need a dulcolax and the pro biotics I took were doing their job. I'm feeling a lot better and I now have a wider range of motion. I can carefully pick stuff off the ground and bend my knees a lot more easily.
I still have a lot of bruising!! grr! Swelling in my upper back has gone down a bit. I can still feel a ton of fluid in my lower back.It feels so weird when I touch it because I can just squish it around. Samething deal going on with my stomach. Very much stilll swollen and tons of fluid underneath. My Legs look like they are starting to even out more. I'm happy about that. I think I actually feel good enough to walk outside.
DAY 7
things are much better now. the swelling around my knees is starting to come down. man i hate how these antibiotics make pooping terrible. i had my post op appointment and the doctor said everything looks good and i had all my stitches taken out .i asked the doctor how many cc's i got and he said 1100 per cheek! thats alot! not sure if that includes hips, i think it does. so probably 100 per hip and 950 per cheek. I started covering my scabs in vitamin e oil.
day 11
i've been eating so much fried chicken down here lol. i know i shouldn't but i did it anyway. everything gets better after day 7. i felt way better! week one was pretty tough for me. i couldn't sleep with my neck hurting due to lying tummy down all the time. I couldn't shift to my sides because of fat grafting to the hips. im currently 27 in the waist still, ( really hope this goes down more) and my hips/butt is at38.5 inches. I hope it doesnt shrink anymore!!! i got booty greed and i want more!!! my ass was flat so it needs more fat lol. you'd think 1100 would do it but i want more. my ass is definitely rounder and my hips are no longer square. I'm reaaaally happy with the lipo done to my inner thighs n knees!! they are smoothing out nicely. I am happy with my results so far and I am impressed by dr.S's skills in lipo n fat grafting. He took a total of 2200 out of me and put it ALL back in.
