My BBL Experience - Beverly Hills, CA

Me too, I didn't feel those bumps at first but it was probably because of the swelling too. Hopefully they go away...I'm must be bad a massages because I'm not feeling any better today, I may need to get one from you! Lol I don't think I eat too much salty food but I'm going to try Mrs Dash instead ;) The drive in the morning didn't go so well. I was really worried about putting pressure on my butt. I probably did here and there and my back started hurting after a while. It'll be better tomorrow, I hope;) :) I hope you feel better too. Let's hang in there girl:)

Thanks! I'm feeling better everyday. I think I was massaging wrong at the beginning. I watched some YouTube videos, you're suppose to go in circular motions with your fingers and move the skin around so it does not become stiff. I can't really explain it, just search up massages after lipo and a ton comes up. I must of watched like 10 different ones ;-). Don't lose hope girl, I know you said you're more wide, but I think once it softens up it will round out as well! I'm sure you're going to look great in the next couple of weeks!

Thanks doll, I sure hope so or I'm going to end up buying padded panties!! Lol

Day one of driving was not the best. Even with pillow Dr. gives us I think my butt still touched the seat so I tried to push myself up by holding on to the door with one hand and armrest with the other one whenever I got a red light. My back hurt a lot so I'm using a small squared sofa pillow to put on my back and that helps. Dr. told me that by the end of 4th week about 90% of remaining fat should survive. So now that I'm going into that 4th week I'm trying to be really careful. I didn't measure myself before and right after but I did last week and I lost 1 1/2 inches from my butt in about 4 days. I don't even want to measure anymore. How many inches have you lost since you got your bbl done?

1200 cc's sounds like a good amount but I had no butt whatsoever so I told the doctor last week I needed like 2000 cc's but he said my skin was too tight and just couldn't put more in. The flat area in the middle of both cheeks is something that I really didn't like. I think that if he had been able to Lipo my back and arms as I thought was getting done, I would be happier and my shape would've been nice. That didn't happen so I need to work on my upper area as soon as I am able to start exercising. Are you happy with your results?

Oh no be careful driving! I hope that it is true about most of the fat survived after the 4th week because I'm 4 weeks tomorrow! Lol
I have lost the same amount as you since day one I measures just because I was curious even though I knew it was mostly swollen. After that I measured every single day and night. I've lost the same as you about 1.5 inches but I lost it over 3 weeks. I believe half was swelling and the other half may have been fat resorption but not really sure. I don't fit into a lot of my old clothes but I'm thinking mostly because I'm not willing to squish the booty.
I'm not sure if I like my results yet because I'm still healing. My stomach is very lump specially my flanks!!! I showed him at my 2 weeks follow up but he just said to massage. I dreamed of having this procedure and being able to wear a bathing suit and showing of my new curves but my tummy is still lumpy and very swollen specially if I don't wear my binder to compress it for a couple hours. My butt is starting to soften up but I wish it was rounder or plumper. I want to give it til at least the 2 month mark before I decide if I like it though. I really hope it fluffs out and that I don't lose any more volume or all of this would have been for nothing. This is the craziest recovery to go through to not end up happy with results so I will keep my fingers crossed for both of us!

Oh I almost forgot. I scheduled a post lipo lymphatic massage with ultrasound this weekend with a nurse that has been recommended by someone who had a bbl and her stomach is lump free!! I'll let you know if it works and if my lumps get resolved. I'm gonna have her focus on my flanks this week.

Congrats on making it through your 4 weeks!! Yes, it is one tough recovery process but I think we've gone through the worse part although the Lipo healing is taking way too long, way more than I expected. I still can't bend easily, my whole tummy area is also still healing and very sensitive. Hang in there doll, you'll be able to wear your bikini soon and you're going to look hot!! I myself don't think I will because I have a lot of stretch marks from 4 pregnancies but I may do a tummy tuck later on. I thought I needed the butt first because I was flat like a tortilla! Lol This BBL was probably not as good for me as I expected. I saw all these nice looking results but my mistake was not to go to an actual physical consultation with a ps..maybe someone could have advised me to lose weight first, then a bbl or implants. Dr saw me in person for the first time just a day before procedure and that's when he first said my skin was too tight and was not going to be able to put too much. I lost those 1.5 inches in just one week and don't know how many more Inches I lost the first couple of weeks but I have lost a lot of it :( If you only lost 1.5 total, that's awesome girl !! :) You may not lose more anymore :) Are you saying you are still wearing the black binder or the Leonisa garment or both? I'm only wearing the Leonisa one now but I think I need a waist trainer for my tummy. Stay in touch:)

Yea I can't really make my review of this procedure for at least another month. I can't believe I'm still healing and my tummy still very tender, sore, and swollen. Lol your too funny "flat like a tortilla" hopefully this procedure will take you out of the tortilla category at the very least! I'm crossing my fingers for yiubthatbuiull at least have something to show for this huge sacrifice. It's unacceptable that anybody lose all their fat in the booty!! You should measure and try on old clothes to see if there's a difference. I will definitely keep you posted :)

How did the ultrasound therapy on the bumps work?

Haha!! Funny!! I do the same and yes I know what you mean about losing volume. I lost a lot too, I don't want to measure anymore because I feel so sad to see less and less inches each time. I figured it is what it is. This procedure may work only for some people but it's definitely not for others. I'm afraid that I may be one of those who wasted her $$ but time will tell. I've been hiding from family because I didn't want to tell them in case this turned out to be a waste if $$...I don't want people to laugh/talk s**t if this procedure failed on me after all those $$$...For now we just need to focus on our recovery. I just want to be normal and do the normal things I used to do. My stomach is smaller that's for sure but my goals were to get a really big butt and it didn't happen so I already put it in my head and I'm just hoping this will help me in some way so that I try to stay focused on losing weight from here on. After all that we go through, you just need to look forward to a better you in any way that you can. Eat healthier, exercise and feel good about yourself..There's no yesterday only a today and a better tomorrow so stay strong and keep going! :)

Hello girls ...I'm getting my bbl in no November and I'm really getting scared about the lumps ...do you guys know anybody to do messages after surgery?

I don't know anyone myself. I googled and saw a place in Brea and one in Orange County..if anyone knows of a place, please let me know;)

Not yet, I'm hoping I can be seen tomorrow. They haven't called me back yet to confirm when they can see me. I've been waiting for their call back as I was told they would call me on Monday. I called them but they're not even taking calls and my call was forwarded to a third party service that is taking messages only. Is your butt still hard? I felt bigger on one side from day 1 and still do too. It is also my right side that felt bigger or more swollen. Your still looks nice! :)

I doubt that they will call you because they are super busy and in he middle of moving. Do you have Nayeli or Debbie's cell phone ? Maybe you can text them and tell them you want to confirm your appointment.

I emailed them and got no response but then I sent Dr. a text and he called me right away..he had Debbie call me. I will not be seen tomorrow and I need to schedule another day. You are right, they are super busy. I think Dr. did mention something about a New office. Hopefully they get more help at office because I haven't had the greatest experience with one person :( Thanks for the tips:) :)

No problem :) you just have to stay persistent.

Yes, after all it was only thousands of $$ spent right? Lol

Lol I feel you!!!! No worries we're worth it! :D

Hi Lacey622, Congratulations on your great results. I looked at your pictures and you look great! :) The size looks really good on those pictures. It doesn't look fake to me at all but if you want it smaller, I think once all your swelling goes down, you'll achieve your desired size:) My middle and especially lower stomach and sides are still very sensitive, I barely touch them so I haven't felt hard lumps but it doesn't mean I don't have them. I think the swelling is coming down because every day I notice more skin sagging on my lower stomach :( :( and it didn't look so bad just a few days ago and it looked pretty even right after sx. Dr. did warn me that I would be needing a tummy tuck. He sure knew and I was hopeful at the beginning when it looked swollen but even and now I'm seeing reality. I had 4 kids as well and after my 3rd I didn't lose weight anymore so these are the results! Lol Still trying to stay positive :) Yes, let's stay in touch ;)

Hey girl, I've been using Clarins cream on my stomach. I think it's helping a bit. I posted a picture of it on my review. Maybe it will help you as well. I'm thinking of ordering a waist cincher/trainer too. Lol, I'm going to try it all! I need all the help after 4 kids!

Ok, I'm going to get me one. Where did you buy it from? I also need all the help I can get too;) I know what you mean! I'm about to get rid of my binder soon and just wear my 2nd stage garment and I will be needing a waist cincher too since the garment alone is not enough compression for my stomach. Thanks for the tips :-)

I just ordered the Ann cherry one from Amazon. It was only $33 so I guess I'll give it a try. when you have time post some more pics! I just did tonight, it'll be neat to see our transformation ;-). I have prime so if you want to wait I can tell you if I like it, I should get it by Sunday!

Thank you, you are looking great as well! :)
