11 weeks post-op feeling great and looking better....

WORTH IT$15,500
11 weeks post-op feeling great and looking better. I will say my lower back where the indent is (the most lipo'd area) is still very sore. when I stay in any one position too long it hurts like heck when I move. The most pain I experience is in the morning getting out of bed....OMGOODNESS it feels like my skin is separating from the tissue in my back. I'm assuming it's due the the aggressive lipo in that area, I hope this feeling goes away soon. I find that wearing my spanx helps keep the skin on my back tight and in place so it feels a lil better, like an idiot i threw away my binder to early. If anyone else hes experience this pain in the lower back where the "shelf" have be created please let me know when this pain will go away. Other than that I'm very happy with my body! :))

So so so sooooooo sorry ladies I've been away for so long. How rude, any how me and my butt are doing well I'm 11wks post op. My butt is HUGE compared to what is was b4. It even bigger then my last pics it has really filled out and I couldn't be happier :)) ! I be murdering a pair of spandex and my body con dresses lol. I've never looked in the mirror so much my fiancé is sick to her stomach I mean she says I look good but she hate when men look at me, I've always had that problem with her but it's worse now. I will say you get what you pay for dr. Markmann did an EXCELLENT job!

I'm happy to see an update from you, your butt looks great! I thought I had found a pretty decent doctor here in Texas, but after looking at Dr. Markmann's photos, I am seriously considering a trip to Maryland...even though it will cost about $5,000 more!

Did it take a long time after your consultation to get an actual surgery date?
May 12, 2011
Thanx! Wow $5,000 more is alot! I'm sure there are dr's in other states just as experienced as dr Markmann, has this dr shown you pics and how long has he been doing bbl? I was just a 5 hr drive away so it was'nt too bad. Like you once I saw dr M photos I was sold, but idk know if 5k is worth it. Question, is the 5k travel expense only OR travel and surgery difference total? I had my consult in dec 2010 and I picked feb 21st because my kids would be on winter recess. It just so happen to work out because they had nothing for the month of January. He gets booked up very quickly so I'm sure if you go with him it will be a few months out.

Hi ladeebuggmi, your results are gr8. I am schedule for my BBL surgery June 2 and I can't wait. I love the way how your butt is round. where all did you get the fat Transfer?

My dr. told me he'll have to inject the fat to my butt, hips and outter thighs. I currently looks the way you did in your before pics.

And also, are your incisions heal as yet? and if so how long did it take for them to heal?
May 18, 2011
Thanx so much! I had fat taking from my stomach(upper&lower) back(flanks) bra-line,inner thigh. Yes I'm all healed, but there are scars that I am treating....they are fading so far. Good luck with ur surgery!!
May 12, 2011
You look FANTASTIC!!!! Damn... why Dr. M have to be so expensive. I need him to come down about 6k...lol Ahhhh Wishful thinking.

GIRLLLLLLL YOUR DOC HOOKED THAT BOOTY UP! YOU LOOK GREAT! I will be 8 weeks post op this Thursday, and my lower back was the most lipo'd too and when I wake up in the mornings or I sit too long, that is the part that hurts me too and it gets swollen a lot!
May 18, 2011
Thanx girl! I'm in NY as well, but my consults here were no where near as promising as with Dr. Markmann....that's why I went outta state. But yes this lower back thing sucks, it really hurts when I get out of bed and out of the car. I can't wait to be totally healed!

ladee I have a question for you. In your 11 week post op photos your butt got even bigger and more rounder as you mentioned, and of course I can see that. You looking great girl! I will be 8 weeks post op tomorrow and even though I have a "shelf" and hips now, I still lack the roundness towards the center and bottom of my butt, which is kind of making me a little sad. I had 750 cc's put into each cheek. So I am wondering, what week (between 5 and 11 week)did you notice your butt get more rounder. I am praying that it will pop out soon.

It is a lot of money and I understand everyones situation is different. However, u have to understand that when u go out os the U.S the medical standards are MUCH different. Just because the fat is there docent mean it's medically safe to take it all out, example if dr. Marksmann told u he can get 700 cc's and u went to Mexico and they told u 1000 cc's that doesn't mean you're getting a better deal that means their standards of how much fat to take out in one lipo session can be dangerous. Dr. Markmann is WELL trained and qualified in what he does, as well as many other doctors in the U.S. If you're quoted by a board certified dr who has many years of experience in bbl at 700cc's being you're max than most likely that the total amount that can safely be removed from you according to the U.S standards. Just something to think about, you can't put a price on your safety! Also I'm not saying to go with dr. Markmann, but there are other dr's on this site that women were happy with and who are cheaper. Personally I feel if one doesn't have the money to accommodate your well being then either they should save until they do or don't have it done at all. No disrespect to anyone, im just giving my opinion. If you have children that should also be something to consider, surgery is a risky act anyway but to go out of the country to a place that has very low medical standards is a concept that I just don't understand. Explore your options here first is all I'm saying. Again you can not put a price on your life.

Ladeebuggmitts -- Thanks for pointing all of that out. While you don't always get what you pay for (and you don't always get less for a price cut), there are many reasons not to travel out of country. Or even out of state (if by plane). 

In addition to the standards being different, what happens if you need follow-up care? Even if you can call to check-in with your doc, it's not the same as being able to go in every week or so and have them look at your results. And should something go wrong,  it's likely you won't be able to see the doctor who knows exactly what your procedure entailed. 

It's not impossible to see good work coming out of countries with cheaper procedures. But is it work the risk for your health?

Well I'm 4weeks out today and I started...

Well I'm 4weeks out today and I started sitting yay!!!!! My bootay looking real good :)) it settled some it's not so high up it's rounding out and projecting more. I will say it is very painful (for me) to sit, everyone is different but I am happy to be sitting. I will post be 4 and after pics once I feel my butt is where it's gonna stay, the body goes through so many changes during lipo and bbl that anything sooner would be a waste of time ( my opinion). If there is anyone else who experienced pain the first few time they sat please let me know. Thanx ladies I will keep you posted!

Hi, I had tt,bbl,lipo too arms &3/4 of my back December 2, 2014 this is almost week 6 for me. Whn I say I didn't set @ ALL that's what I mean. I return to work next week which will be 6weeks Tuesday then I can set a lot. I started setting this past Monday with driving trying to break my butt in. PAINFUL!!!! I gave my hubby back the keys & said I will practice setting@ home. It get better I might set for 3minutes & that's it back to my hips. It does get better.
