When beginning the BBL journey, you have so much...

When beginning the BBL journey, you have so much to say, but post-op and as healing progresses, theres not as much change or to say. So I haven't updated much. I have mixed feeling about my booty. I definitely love my curves and shape, but I wish my booty was a lil bigger. Compared to what is was before it is a great improvement. I'm debating round two. Healing hasn't been to bad. I finally feel 90% normal. The other day I felt my booty jiggle. Felt a lil weird to actually have a butt that jiggles, but I liked it. My only complaint is my upper arms. They are still tender and have some hard lumps under them. I massage every night to loosen them up, but wake up in the morning and they are super tight again. It is mostly my left arm which is hard with dents (I posted a pic) my left arm is fine. Have any of you had this problem? Any solutions?

Looking good hun! Your bum has popped out quite a bit compared to right after sx. Most of the time it seems bigger right after then gets smaller yours seemed to have gotten bigger with time. Looks great perfect size on you. Happy Healing

Hello BBL lady. My recovery is going really good....

Kay1001
Hello BBL lady. My recovery is going really good. I feel almost normal. My only complaint is my arms. After having lipo on my arms they still feel very tender and stiff. I massage them every night and still tender and hard/stiff. It ind of feels like the tissue inside is stiff and trying to stretch, but it can't loosen up. I asked Dr Campos at my post op visit a week after surgery an he said the upper arms are very delicate and will take longer to heal. Is this true? For any ladies that also had their upper arms lipoed, is this normal? My upper arms just feel really tight. After I massage them at night they do loosen up. But when waking up in the morning, they just feel tight and tender. My stomach is really flat. I have a few lumps, but I also massage them every night. I am going to order some new epifoam on monday because I want to put it all around my stomach and back to make everything even and flat. I also found a website that sells the foam called lipofoam, which is a little cheaper. I am now wearing the butt out garment I ordered from hourglass angels.com. I ordered the Kate garment and it's working so far, but the legs constantly roll up. It helps to perk up my butt cheeks while not putting too much pressure and putting most pressure around my waist. Another thing I don't like about the Katie garment is the bottom of my butt cheeks look weird because of the way it creases, but nothings perfect. I tried cutting the butt out of the garment Dr Campos gave me but I'm afraid it will affect my results because it was not made for that. Dr Campos said I can sit now, but still afraid to. Like everyone else that had a BBL, we DO NOT want to loose our precious fat. I'm looking for a good scar cream. I read on another BBL sisters profile about a cream called Biocorneum. You can only buy it from a doctors office, so I plan on getting it on monday. I uploaded some new pics. I absolutely love my new body and booty. If I had to do it all over again, I totally would and wouldn't give it a second thought.

It's best for you to call Dr. Campos and ask if it is OK for you to sit. Every doctor has different techniques and different postoperative instructions. When and how you sit can have a major affect on your outcome. Happy healing!

Ditto for how long to wear your garment. I'm surprised that Campos didn't give you this important information before you left the DR.
