So today I had my 4 week check out, although technically 4 weeks was 2 days ago on monday....but anyway-I still have a ton of hardness around my waist. It's like a hard thick band goes all the way around my waist-across my abs, and across my mid back. I guess that's good news because that means the scar tissue will still go away and I'll be even smaller! Anyhow, he sent me my before and after pics as of post op-and 1 month and 2 days.

The wait time for Dr. Richards when I scheduled my surgery Jan 26, was april or may. However, when I explained to him that I really wanted to get it done before my husband got back home from military training he got me a spot for the OR room for Feb 6. His staff was super nice and always answered my questions no matter how small they were. They were never once snobbish, just very smiley, and they looked like the really did love their job of helping others!

Saw the doc today, he took out my drain and told me with a definate yes that if bee still getting way smaller with more sculpting to my abs and even thinner thighs still. Awesome! He also told me that I didn't have to wear my compression garmet anymore so I took off my fill body one and purchased a fleexes forum control tank top one. It works awesome.

We need to see your 'before' pictures. If you had enough fat, then the doctor did wrong by you. Your lipo is great but your butt is almost flat. I'm sorry, but I'm just being honest. I'm sure your husband will love it regardless. I've never heard of this doc before.

Ghettobooty, I completely understand what you're saying! my but isn't what I was wishing for and it should've been after 8 grand! I'll post the before pics over he gives them to me at my 4 week appt. The only thing is my butt is definately bigger. I used to have indents on the top sides of my cheeks. And that's where he injected the 400cc. I actually have a butt somewhat now although like I said, its not my dream but. the only issue is, is that I can't really fix it because as you can see in the pics i'm already very small. He would have no where to take the fat out of. And suggestions?

You have an overall perfect body, very sexy. All that matters is that you are happy with your results. Again, I can't tell if the doctor should have given you more donk because I don't know how much fat he had to work with. Probably not a lot because you have a toned body, as is indicated by the 400cc.

Thanks ghetto booty, yeah my hubby likes it and had no complaints so that to me makes it worth it lol. Of course I can't wait to see the final result. I still have a ton of swelling on my flanks, lower back, Loewe abdomen, and thighs. Its just hard to think that add in shape as I was he took out 3 liters. Every time I see a two liter bottle of coke or something I think damn, he took out one and a half of those of fat lol.

I know, 3-4 liters is a lot! Unfortunately they have to purify the fat, so not all is reused. Also, not all fat is the same and can be injected back into the body.

Take care, and be happy!

So, day 5 post op. Sorry I didn't get pics up yesterday but I just didn't feel up to it. But here are some pics I took today. My stomach has gotten a little flatter, my back is still really swollen but it's flatter too, and my butt is better also.

I hate to hear that you're unhappy with your results I hope things get better! I honestly don't think it'll be a shelf but you're so tiny it could still be a cute bubble butt with a nice shape to it. Keep us updated!
Thanks prettyncurvy, I would def. still be happy is 'cute bubble butt' could be associated with me too! lol. I can't wait to wake up every morning to see how the swellings gone down. It's kinda like an oxy moron. I want the bruising pain to be gone, but when that is gone it means my swelling is pretty much gone too. So I've gotta live with the pain to watch the swelling go down lol. The things we do to look good!
