Happier with it all

Wanted to just provide some updated pics since its been awhile. Overall I'm happy with my results and my butt. I was feeling unhappy for a bit but as time passed and I saw Dr Hughes again I felt better. Also, he told me I wouldn't see the final results of the lipo until about 6 months and that is probably my main concern at this point. I still have back and tummy fat that I'm not happy about. Of course, overall it looks much better compared to before. As far as my butt, I'm happy and wouldn't want it any bigger or smaller. It's perfect for me. I have had some people comment on it looking much bigger. It's funny, because of course I know it looks bigger and better, but when I look at it it doesn't look that big to me. I didn't have much of a butt so I'm sure people notice the difference in certain clothes. So I will post another update in October since I also plan to see Dr Hughes again and discuss the final results. I don't think you can tell what I'm talking about in these pics regarding my stomach and back fat so maybe I will post another picture showing the rolls and bulges I'm talking about. Lol Hopefully they disappear in the next couple months, but I'm not sure. I feel totally recovered at this point. I can exercise and do everything. There's no more pain, bumps, or numbness in my body. I definitely feel more confident and have gone to the beach and pools with my friends feeling much better about my body :)

What a process

So this whole healing process has been interesting. Let me tell you ladies, your body does some weird things after surgery. I had odd pains and spams, strange poop, bloating and looking gross, lumps and bumps and other sorts of annoyances. I mean sometimes I look really good and other times I feel it doesn't look that much different. Of course there is a noticeable difference, but I'm for sure noticing things I'm not that happy with. I'm not even an unrealistic person with expectations of perfections. I understand everyone heals differently so I'm still waiting and hoping that it will look good in another month or so. I mean sometimes one butt cheek was bigger than the other, my bra rolls were hanging and didn't look any different (I specifically lipoed this area instead of inner/outer thighs), and my butt got significantly smaller...I would say about 50%. I think I ended up absorbing a lot of fat and flushed it out. My weight was heavier for the first couple weeks and now, 3 weeks later it finally went back to normal. I'm no longer sore and really want to exercise but I'm afraid it's too soon. The lumps just recently started going away and there is still some very mild bruising. I have my follow up with Dr. Hughes in a couple weeks so it will be 5 weeks at that point and I think that will be a better idea of what the final outcome will be and I will discuss with him any concerns I have at that time. I just don't want to jump the gun and make assumptions yet. I will post some pics in order so you can see what I'm talking about and the changes in my body over these last few weeks. Also, I'm not going to post ones that I think I look the best, instead it will be a variety so you get a better idea of what it's really like.

The storm has passed

Well, I can say the worst has officially come and gone. Most of my swelling and bruising has gone down. And my butt is starting to soften around the edges although still quite hard in the center. Im pretty much able to do most activities by now and I don't get exhausted after 30 min of walking. It is still pretty annoying not being able to sit on my butt. Ive had no choice to sit a couple times and Im definitely very cautious about damaging my new booty. The size has gone down quite a bit, but Im still very happy with the overall plumpness and shape. I went out this weekend since it was my boyfriends bday and I looked great in my dress. I eventually told my boyfriend on Friday since he surprise showed up at my place; he was really supportive and massaged me whenever I needed. He asked why I didn't tell him sooner, but he didn't make a big deal out of it. I have to keep his hands off my butt since he is constantly tempted to grab and spank it; also he is pretty strong so I have to remind him to be gentle when he hugs me and stuff since Im still sore.

On another note, I don't think anyone has noticed my new booty! Either that or they have not pointed it out or asked. l mean that in the best way possible of how natural and plump it looks. Really I look like I lost weight in my tummy and sides, even though my weight on the scale has gone up. I already had a natural curvyness and I had a small booty in pants. My butt looks bigger and fits nicer in my jeans. Basically all my clothes just look wayy better on me! So Im really happy because I feel like Dr Hughes really just enhanced my shape and I feel like a new and improved version of myself!
