Update...

Ok so it's been like 4 weeks now. I have been pretty terrible about sitting. But I didn't sit at all the first week, and I barely sat the second week, and the third week I was sitting off and on. But I don't think my results have changed too much. One side is more pronounced than the other though, and bigger than the other :/... I still love it more than before, but wish it was a little more asymmetrical. It's been that way since the very beginning, but I was just hoping that it would stay where it was and the other side end up balancing it out. But as he swelling went down, you could see that one hip is more pronounced than the other, and one cheek is a a little bigger than the other. So I'm curious to find out how many CC's was actually put into both sides. Well I will let him know this problem for me, but other than that I do have I think a few seromas so I'm on my way down there today to finally get it all checked out. I should have gone sooner but I was really busy with regular life. Hoping it's not serious and only needs to be drained once and massaged good. Well I will have an update later on today about my post-op appointment w/ Dr.Campos today!

Hey hun! Sorry so late! Yes, I am Alive and well. However, I don't know if the fat is harvested gentle enough or if it is not inserted carefully and gentle enough, but it literally looks like I had nothing done st this point.

Would of loved to seen some pictures but I did see that you said you were going to remove them pretty quick. Anyways I'm very interested in getting my bbl with him as well. How was it's with paying him? Did it have to be all cash or does he have monthly payments?

I'm not sure if they do monthly payments or not, I paid in cash, but as far as bedside manner, they are A1 at that. As far as results though, it did not last at all for me, and my thighs where he was able to take a little bit of fat from, is a little deformed because he did not do it evenly at all :/

Recovery update

bbllover21
Still loving my results!!! Not loving recovery though! Lol so I am on my way to Dr.Campos office now for my follow up appointment, they let me come a day early, I was supposed to go Friday. They are going to take my drain and stitches out I believe. I'll be so much happier when I get this drain out, it's pretty annoying! Lol

But as far as recovery, I've been doing pretty good, it's very difficult to completely not sit on your butt though! So I'm hoping I've been doing pretty good about that, but I have sat on it a little, I'm not sure if the boppy pillow works or not but I got mine from Dr.Campos office, they have big black and comfy ones and I think it was like $40 or $45, but I've been using it but I still feel like I'm basically sitting on my butt, but I think it relieves some of the pressure and spreads it evenly. Ok And I have slept on my stomach the whole time, which was hard the very first few days and then I found a comfy way to prop myself and stuff, so it's been cool. I've been taking my iron, pain, and antibiotic every day. I started taking Bromelain on Monday I think, and my bruises improved significantly since! So that was really good! And I haven't had my first massage yet, I will have it today, but I have been doing things to drain myself, I have been lightly rubbing myself a little with oil (emu oil, castor oil, and coconut oil, all mixed together) which has helped with bruises greatly too. I have been walking every day, and light stretching. But yeah, so far all is good and I'm healing really well! I love my results still so far, Dr.Campos is amazing, I saw some reviews talking about his personality, and honestly, he was very nice, very honest, very realistic with me, helpful, and had great hospitality if you asked me, so idk what some of these people on here are talking about. He was all around just great!

Ok and about recovery! Oh my!

bbllover21
Definitely is not a walk in the park, but no so much because of pain but because you're just uncomfortable really. You are sore as heck, have on this tight garment, can't move that well without pain, using the bathroom is difficult. But other than that it's not too bad, movement has really been helping me, my bruising is actually not bad at all, this drain thing is annoying though, but you definitely need it! Hoping I can get mine off in my post op appointment on Monday. I have been doing a little walking, and a lot of laying down. I've been drinking pedialyte, water, and to make sure I stay light on my tummy I've Been eating baby food lol. Yes baby good, I have apple and banana, it's really good too. And I have not thrown up any of it (: the only time I threw up was when I was walking too soon at the facility. But anyway, if you have any questions feel free to ask, I'm currently laying down and watching Netflix! Hope this was helpful!
