BBL and Fat Graft to Hips/flanks After Aggressive Liposuction. Is It Possible? - Bay Area, CA

You have a nice figure. I would hire a trainer and start incorporating weights with super clean eating. You will see the changes you want from lots of weight training and eating clean.

Hey! I agree with the other commenter, you have a great figure:)! As for your q, can I first ask you when you had your lipo done? If it's less than a couple months ago, you're probably still pretty swollen on the lipo sites, and it's possible/pretty likely once that swelling goes down it will reveal your beautiful curvy figure again (only even more curvy if your Dr. did the waist lipo well). I don't think any good doc would remove the fat from the top of ur bum, if he did I'd be pretty angry; I think it's probably an illusion of the swelling from ur lipo collecting at the bottom of ur bum (it seems to do that, weirdly). Lipo can do funny things to ur body during the recovery period that *completely* go away after a couple months -- so if you're in that time period I wouldn't worry too much yet;) If that doesn't work, I would recommend Dr. Constantino Mendieta in Miami. Just google "Constantino Mendieta Miami" and then go to his website and check out his photos -- he's the best of the best (by far) at BBL and aggressive lipo, incidentally. I just had a BBL with him a little over a month ago and he's amazing at what he does and best of all he's a *really* nice guy and completely trustworthy/will do exactly what you want (if it's possible and he'll be honest and tell you if it's not). I'm sorry it sounds like you might have had a not the best experience with your current doc:( Do wait 'til ur fully healed though to decide for sure, it really is very possible your gorgeous figure is just hidden under swelling and it will reappear better than ever in a month or so. You really are very beautiful.

Hey, I just checked your previous posts. You sound like a really nice person:) Also -- you're not even two months post-op;) Get away from the mirror;)!!! I know it's hard, but what you look like now has absolutely and completely nothing to do with what your final result will look like. Promise. Plastic surgery sucks that way -- it's a real mind game for the first few months. No matter how great my surgeon is, I always second guess him and myself and I worry and question him and even question my own character in the first few months. So being concerned is totally normal and I think it's impossible not to be. But just try to remind urself that you really have nothing to worry about. Once that swelling goes down you will be stunning -- it'll actually *improve* your curves because your waist measurement *will* decrease from what it was pre-surgery. Just try to 'blinker' yourself until then, sorry I know it sux:/ Hope I don't sound too obnoxious/know it all-ish:/ But honestly you really have nothing to worry about at this point. Take the mirrors in your house down for a few months if it really bothers you -- I did that after my rhinoplasty; I looked like a freaking Hobbit for the first two months:P (Now with the swelling gone my nose looks like Elizabeth Taylor's, if I do say so myself). Anyways, sorry to go on so long... But I'd bet my life your curves will not only come back but be even better than b4:) Thanks for reading this, I hope I didn't sound too annoying.

Hi, loveheartlove, I just wanted to lend my support. I can see the change to your body from before and after that you're concerned about. I haven't had a BBL but I know that it involves having fat "harvested" from other parts of your body. Since you've already suffered from aggressive liposuction, I'm concerned about you going through those risks again. I've read about people having injected fat shift downward, about fat not having it's own blood supply and not easily "taking", and all sorts of problems. Then, what about all of the new body parts that will have to have liposuction? It seems very risky to me. I'm sorry that you're in this situation. keep us posted.

Who will be doing your sx? When is it? Any pics? Tried Dr Cortes?
