New Booty with Ryan Stanton

I made it back home! @ LAX I felt like was looking at my butt...no joke, and I was wearing sweatpants! Granted they fit much better than they did preop. I bought a first class ticket because lie flat seats were advertised, only to discover that they weren’t lie flat! Luckily the flight was not very full so they just gave a row of 3 seats to lay on which I was perfectly happy with. 6 hours felt forever though. I got up as often as I could to walk and relieve pressure from my elbows. Take off and landing were a little uncomfortable, but I used my booty buddy and put all my weight on my thighs. I had to drive myself home (my car was parked at the airport), which is about 45 minute drive...not ideal but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! It definitely wasn’t the most comfortable experience but I positioned myself so it was like I was in a recliner chair-booty buddy under my thighs, seat reclined super far back but enough so I could see the road and a towel under small of my back...essentially driving with a mega lean! Lmao! Obviously not the safest but driving is very relaxed in Hawaii ;)
My time in LA was seriously a vacation! I haven’t slept, eaten or relaxed that much since my first child was born 4 years ago...probably why I didn’t even notice any pain. Been back to mom duties at home, bathing the kiddos, putting them to sleep, cooking the meals, etc. thankfully I had such a great recovery!
My husband can barely believe my ass...in a good way. It is still swollen but it is HUGE. Dr. Stanton says it will get more natural and athletic looking with time. My kids think it’s so weird I can’t sit to eat with them or sit on the couch, but they have these huge bean bag chairs that I rest my stomach on and lounge in the living room like that. And it feels so good to arch my back especially since it’s been hurting with all the belly sleeping.
Mindy called today to see how travel went and check on how I’m doing...she is seriously so sweet and beautiful, just love her. I gave them each their own bouquet of flowers at my post op appt..even Dr.Stanton :) it was a small thing to do for a team who does so much, and it really made them all so happy.

Just got back from my post op appt with Dr.Stanton. He looked at the incision and said everything looked great. I also had him measure me for hip implants in case I decide to do that one day (not positive I would but while I’m in person with him I figure I’d have him just do it since they would be custom). For everyone wondering about a second butt implant surgery to upgrade size, he said it can preferably be done at 9 months, minimum 6 months.
I sat a few time today to get to and from the appt in Uber and basically just supported my body with my arms so my butt didn’t touch the seat. I travel home tomorrow with lie flat seats but I also have a booty buddy for take off/landing. I walked half a mile today which felt far because my pace is much slower. I have no pain & feel less tight each day. Love the size of my butt not the shape, still boxy. I’ll update after I get home :)

So I can now walk without a waddle...I just walk slow. I am also able to bend and get things off the floor. No pain meds needed:) butt is still hard as a rock and sort of flat in some areas (not a good shape), but I know it’s all temporary. I still pee in a cup and hover over toilet for bowel movements, for comfort and to prevent strain on incision. So in my photos, my butt looks much smaller that it is in person. Doesn’t look much different from before, but trust me it is definitely much bigger.
Today I left hotel and walked to Trader Joe’s slowly, but I ended up buying way too much & ended up walking back to hotel with 3 bags! lol slightly overdid it. Butt and incisions were fine though. Tomorrow is my consult with Dr. Staton, thank goodness I can’t wait to be able to go home. Definitely getting bored here & miss my 2 little girls lots!
