Healing progress

User Avatar

I'm Sorry I haven't updated lately. I've been really focused on healing and recovery because I want to make sure that I'm taking really good care of myself so that I can recover ASAP!
I went back to work mid last week and let me tell you the first day was the hardest! I stood ALL day!!! and my feet were killing me! Then I got creative and used my chair to kneel on and alternate legs etc. but I was not about to sit lol
I also started driving this morning. I use the bbl pillow and a rolled up towel behind my back (until I get something else) I also lowered my seat as low as possible so that I wouldn't be super high and it worked fine in my car. I can only drive like this for instance to and from work since it's only a 5-10 min drive and to the store for necessities. If I need to go longer distance I will have someone drive me for now.
I have been feeling a little down because I lost some volume compared to week one. I started questioning this whole procedure and whether or not it was the right decision for me etc. I then tried on some stuff in my closet and felt so much better I instantly. The pictures I just uploaded are of these high waisted shorts that I bought last summer because I fell in love with them however I did not like the way my booty looked kinda sad in them. I thought well I'll just push really hard at the gym and and build it up and then I can wear them.. Well I pushed and I pushed and although I did see progress I just wasn't satisfied and knew I would need at least another year of heavy squatting to see significant changes but by then the shorts would be out of style lol in between all that I made my decision to have this procedure and I tried the shorts on this morning and let me tell you this is NOT how they fit before! Please booty fairy let me keep this booty!!!! Also notice in one of the shots I have my hand in the back of my waist to show you how much room there still is in the waist area. The other picture is of how I cut out my garment because I thought it was squishing my booty. I don't recommend that you ladies do that because I started getting seem lines in my booty so I quickly ordered a new one and thankfully I just received it.
My tummy is healing little by little. I've been applying heat to the lumps and it's been helping me so if any of you ladies are interested in knowing more about that just let me know :)

It looks so good I almost hate you...almost ;*

Too funny! I think it's the material of the shorts because it's stretchy that makes it look so shapely so don't hate me lol BTW I lost volume (probably settling in and swelling) and I'm just praying that I don't lose any more because in some clothes it doesn't look big at all!
August 8, 2016
Don't lose hope! so many girls fluff in the fourth month and their waist will mysteriously shrink over the course of a few days way later on! You don't know. You COULD wake up looking like Jessica Rabbit any day nowwww...

Hi quick question overall how much did you waste in total? With the hotel and the other expenses
User Avatar
August 9, 2016
I did not need to get a hotel because I live in the area. I spent 7,500 because I did not add additional lipo areas. I only bought the most basic necessities which totaled about 50 dollars (got some stuff at the .99 cent store) plus the meds were 60 dollars.

I'm so ready to get on with life..Beyond bored!!

User Avatar
MzVanity
I can't stand not being able to drive and do things for myself. I'm beyond bored to the point of starting to feel a little down and maybe somewhat selfish. I'm starting to realize that there's more to life then my booty lol..but seriously I knew this would be a long process but it's one thing to know and another thing to really experience it. I'm extremely cautious of my booty because I'm afraid someone might back into it and cause it to deflate or something lol and therefore I'm worried about going back to work next week and acting all delicate or someone bumping into me.
I seem to be healing more each day and although it's no donk it's a perfect size for me right now and nothing fits me so I'm happy about that. It's true what they say that it looks bigger in person!!! Here's a few pics of my progress.

It's one hot booty;) Looks really nice! Is it still hard or swollen?
User Avatar
July 31, 2016
Lol thanks! It's not super hard but definitely very firm. I can't tell if it's still swollen but I'm assuming that I'll be swollen for couple more weeks.
July 31, 2016
That's good, mine are like rocks! Lol
User Avatar
July 31, 2016
Lol..Everyone seems to say that theirs is hard like a rock and so I've been expecting mine to be that hard. I'm wondering why it doesn't feel as hard as everyone else's and if I should be concerned
July 31, 2016
I don't know but it sure is uncomfortable. The feel sensitive and swollen and this is day 9 post sx for me. I feel just like you, paranoid to do anything wrong and ruin my results and so anxious to see what I'm really going to end up with
User Avatar
July 31, 2016
I felt the same girl!!! My first bbl I took off 10 days then my 2nd I was like no that was way too long I was just lonely during the day & so beyond bored lol so I only took off 1 week the next time! Hang in there girl it's almost over n you'll be out & about soon!
User Avatar
July 31, 2016
you are a trooper I can't even imagine a second BBL much less only taking off one week from work!! I'm too paranoid about someone bumping into my asset and ruining my results lol..I gotta ask you some questions though since you've been through this a couple times. When should I expect to see some volume loss ? Right now it's pretty much measuring the same as second day post op. Are the ab board and lipo foams really recommended ? Do the lumps on the tummy really soften and resolve ? Are massages a must ? Is self massaging sufficient ? Is there really such a thing as "fluffing" and if so does the booty get bigger ? I'm sorry for all the questions but you have so much experience with this
User Avatar
August 1, 2016
No worries at all girl:)
1. When should I expect to see some volume loss ? The first 2 weeks I barely saw a loss in volume & got scared bc it was too big...I literally looked like a donkey!! After the 3rd week was when I saw most of the swelling seemed to go away. The first & third week were a pretty noticeable difference.
2. Are the ab board and lipo foams really recommended ? The first time I used foams but not the ab board and the 2nd time I used both. Dr Hazani didn't say it was mandatory however the first time I only wore it 2 weeks and stopped but I noticed I would get creases in my skin from my garment, jeans, etc and they scared me! Not to mention it made a noticeable difference with the swelling in my stomach area. My first bbl my stomach was very sore & swollen for about 3-4 month....this time probably only for 1-2 months but half the soreness & swelling. If your stomach is really swollen I'd recommend it however some people didn't swell much in the stomach. Also if you have a job where you sit I'd recommend it because personally my pants would cause me to swell without the foams for about a month and a half.
3. Do the lumps on the tummy really soften and resolve ? It depends...my first bbl they did not...1 yr after I still had bumps/lumps even though I massaged a lot & wore my garment for 2 months after with foams. However this time all of mine have resolved...it took me about 4.5 months to see them all go away.
5. Are massages a must ? Is self massaging sufficient ? I did self massage...Dr. Hazani said it was fine & showed me how. I've seen some outcomes where girls didn't massage and came out fine and others like with my first bbl who massaged & still had lumps....but to be on the safe side I'd massage. If you do it in the shower with soap or right after the shower with lotion it's more tolerable that way you can massage longer. In the beggining u may not be able to do as much but dr hazani said to just do as much as u can at first.
6. Is there really such a thing as "fluffing" and if so does the booty get bigger ? My first bbl my booty seemed to get smaller & smaller...I'd say only the first month was noticeable different after that it wasn't too much of a change. The second time it definitely seemed to "fluff". A ton of Drs on realself say fluffing is not real however in the sense that it'll get bigger a few months down the after. For me what happened was my booty was so stiff that it seemed compacted kind of & once it softened all the way I guess it was more stretched out & loose under the skin so it seemed bigger, more shapely & more projected.
It's def a crazy process and my first bbl was such a roller coaster...the 2nd was too however that time I worried about it all for nothing I was just a little paranoid lol However I believe you're in great hands and most likely have nothing to worry about...once it's all over you'll be enjoying your new booty!:) so far u look amazing esp for just having had your bbl!!!
User Avatar
August 2, 2016
Thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to write such a detailed response!! I guess it all varies it seems. I was hoping the fluffing fairy was real lol although to be honest I'm a little self conscious of my new size right now and it's not even big but nothing fits so must be considerably bigger.
You are right though I'm in great hands and to top it off I have real self ladies to help and offer support so I know I'll be good. Thanks again for answering all my questions :)
User Avatar
August 2, 2016
I'm the same way girl I keep thinking it should be bigger n my friends & family are like you're crazy lol but they're right bc when mine was swollen I hated it & was embarrassed and personally for me it's all about Shape I really don't care about how massive it is I just wanted to be round and bubbly lol it's looks perfect for your body size:)
User Avatar
August 2, 2016
I think round and bubbly is hella nice and I'll take that over massive too...It's all about ratios and proportions. If you have the legs and body for bigger then of course you can get away with bigger. I think your size is perfect now!! No round 3 any time soon missy!!!! Lol
July 31, 2016
It'll all be worth it. U look great!
User Avatar
August 2, 2016
Awe thanks doll :) I'm still rooting for you to get it done when able. To be honest right now I'm glad I didn't do thighs because I find it a little big still but let's see if that changes when I lose some volume.
August 2, 2016
Yea hopefully someday I'll be able to do it. Your thighs aren't big and didn't need Lipo anyway...They look nice with the booty. I think u made the right choice.
User Avatar
August 2, 2016
Thanks I agree. I think if I would have done thighs it would have looked funny on me specially in yoga leggings or shorts. Most girls have thicker legs than me so it's not really an issue for them. It was a tough choice since I did not want to come out of surgery without a noticeable difference and then have the doctor tell me that's why he recommended thighs lol

I don't have any experience cutting my own but my doctor cut mine and it made it so uncomfortable. When that type of material is cut it burns your skin with rubbing. I got a bigger garment, it's too big in the waist but I wear a waist trainer as instructed by my dr. Starting at 4 days post op. I have seen other girls cut there's and sometimes of the holes arent perfect it shapes them weird. GL hon!

Omg thanks for telling me that! I better get a bigger garment!
User Avatar
July 28, 2016
be careful of seams and edges of anything; there are definitely ladies on here who have permanent indentations from butt out garments (and even the metal buttons on jeans).

are you using the leonisa with mesh over the booty? i wouldnt worry about squishing the fat; (very) light compression aids with keeping inflammation down.
User Avatar
July 28, 2016
Yup the mesh over booty one...OMG I'll be very careful thank you!! Do you happen to know if the total # of CC's he writes on booty includes the hips or is it booty only. The reason I ask is cause I'm reading where ladies say they got whatever # on booty plus hips but I always thought the total CC's was distributed including hips..Just curious thanks.
