4 Days After Surgery and Wondering How Much Swelling Will Go Down? Beverly Hills, CA

WORTH IT$9,500
I had surgery last Thursday w dr Stanton. Very impressed with his reviews and before and afters. Took me almost a year of finally making the decision to book the surgery.

I'm 5'2"
110 lbs
Had my breast done and wear a 32D and wanted a more proportionate figure, especially after having a kid.

Surgery went well. I have a couple of indentures on my right cheek, and after reading the reviews of others, it seems that those little indentures go away after time.

My main concern is how much swelling do I have, and how much smaller over time will my butt settle to be? I kinda feel I may have went too big and I'm hoping that once all the swelling goes away and it drops, that it will look a lot smaller then it does right now.

Does anyone know?

He used a 450 oval on me.

Congrats on your new bum!! Looks great!! Yes the indentions go away and so does the swelling making your butt smaller.. I know for some girls it went down a lot leaving them unhappy with their results.. As for me I don't think it went down too much.. It went down enough to make my butt look shapely.. I luv my butt but I still think it's borderline a bit big..I just have to get used to all the attention I'm getting.. Lol!!!!

Seximexi, is it good attention, if so that's what I can handle?! BTW, your bum looks great too. I'll have my new but on next Wednesday, I'm so excited.
September 13, 2016
Does it feel hard still?? And when you have sex, can your bf/husband feel it? Are you able to have sex in all the same ways and positions before? Does the implants move when you flex or do moves like you would in yoga??
September 13, 2016
My butt is still kinds hard but it is getting softer I felt them jiggle for the first time the other day as I was climbing stairs.. I was so happy! It will take time I'm sure.. I just don't want them to soft either.. I can have sex just like before my husband can't feel them other then they are firm but he or I can't feel the implant..I don't do yoga so not sure about that.. I'm back to working out but never been a gym rat.. Lol .. The implants fit my lifestyle perfectly without any issues.. Hope it helps.. Keep us posted on your recovery :)

How exciting bubbleys72! Post some before and after pics when you get a chance:)
September 13, 2016
I pray im like u hoping its bigger than i want instead of smaller id be pissed lol im wondering if i should bite it n pay 2k more to go bigger since ive already ordered but dr said if i go bigger id see outlines which i dont want either such an exhausting process r u sitting n all back to normal does it feel a part of u now
September 13, 2016
It looks bigger in person then in the pictures. I honestly wish I heals and looks smaller though, not bigger. Simply because I don't like having too much attention and especially where people may look at it and wonder if it's fake.

I'm going to my first post op appt later today. I still don't feel like normal. Still walking slowly and kinda like a duck lol. And can't sit at all and hardly sleep on my back unless I have lots of pillows under my back, head, and knees. The implants do feel like it's more a part of me then it did the first few days after surgery, but it's still very hard feeling and I can't squeeze it. It's very exhausting having to walk, stand up all the time, and lay on my tummy simply bc I have never been a tummy sleeper.

I do hope it gets smaller over time. I'm so petite so too big of a booty just looks unnatural on me. Good luck with your surgery!

I love you booty I want one too, after I get better I will have one. Lol
Where is A good cheap place to stay in near Doctor Ryan ?
Do you know ?
September 13, 2016
I live about 10 min away so I'm not sure of places to stay or rent where it's inexpensive. I would guess there's plenty of air b&b, but u won't have full service like a hotel. For hotels close by that are less expensive, maybe the holiday inn on Santa Monica blvd in west Hollywood, or the marriott courtyard on Olympic Blvd in century city, but most of the hotels in this area will start at roughly 200/300 per night simply bc of the location. Good luck and lmk if u have any other questions!

Hi babe, I had just a BBL And I have seen many dolls who got butt implants. It seems like Those of us who get only bbl's Start off with big butts And eventually our butts reduced significantly. With implants however, I have noticed that your butt Tends to project more your definition seems More prominent. I wish I would have done in Plants instead of just the BBL. There is so much stress with this BBL with the fear of losing My butt every single day...And I'm already 3 months post-op!

5 days after surgery. Still wishing I went smaller.

It looks really big in person. Very unnatural looking under looks. I honestly don't like it and told the doctor that during post op. He says its around 30% swollen, and it will all look different in another month or two and that the shape will settle and drop and look completely different as well. I'm really hoping so as right now I kinda regret doing it or had wished he had used a much smaller implant then the size 2s that we decided to go with. (I think it's around a 440 cc oval).

Correction- very unnatural looking under clothes*.
October 11, 2016
Looks perfect and don't worry, it will go down a lot in the next month. I am 5'6 and got the 420 stantons. I weigh about 126. They freaked me out at first...i was so self conscious... Now my concerns revolve around it not filling out my butt enough and empty spots and edge visibility. I doubt you will have those concerns. It looks like you started out with a beautiful frame to work with! I'll bet you will be happy!
October 13, 2016
Aw thank u. I'm feeling a bit better now that more swelling has gone down. Can u please post before and after pics to see your results? Thanks!
September 14, 2016
You look amazing!! Trust me you will love the end results after swelling is gone.. I was like you at first .. I thought what did I do to myself!! I was also a size 0 and I'm a 1 now but because we are so thin it looks big.. Give it time :)

You look amazing and natural. Your new butt fits your frame perfectly, I would not think it was fake. Dr Stanton did a marvelous job on you for sure. I'm hoping for the same results too.

You look awesome, I'm 5'3 and similar size weight 120, I hope my booty looks like yours I'm going to ask for 450 ovals. It doesn't look to big or fake in my opinion. Please keep posting/updating us with your recover photos.

Still very very sore. Really hoping they get smaller once the swelling settles and they drop. I feel like I've got a big ass right now and I don't like it! Lol. Only wanted a round butt that's nice, classy, conservative, and proportionate to my body. I'm a size 0. Praying it gets much smaller!

You look great but I totally understand how your feeling... You will probably end up a size 1 .. The good thing about it at least for me is depending on what I wear it's not that noticeable except in a bikini which really is the reason I had this surgery. I'm always in a bikini we go to havasu all summer and was tired of hiding my flat butt and feeling insecure.. I can wear classy dresses for the occasion and it looks really nice .. And I can wear club dresses and my booty just pops.. I think you will love your results.. Hang in there girl don't run off and get them remomoved just yet.. :)

Absolutely!! I don't know why girls have this procedure and within days after start complaining, it makes no sense. Give it time before they start nagging n complaining!!!
September 15, 2016
It makes total sense to me. This surgery is a physical and emotional roller coaster. I was absolutely freaking out for the first month. My body took longer than I expected to heal and my butt looked distorted at first. It was scary. This site is an outlet to talk about those feelings & concerns that no one in real life understands because they haven't been through it. The support made a huge difference in my recovery. I would have felt badly if someone on this site implied that I was "nagging" and "complaining". Maybe consider posting comments like that on your own profile and avoiding posting it on the profile of someone who is trying to heal and reaching of for support? Just a thought.

@brazilianhoney, I meant no harm and wasn't trying to be insensitive to your feelings and recovery. I think you look wonderful and I apologize for using the wor complaining or nagging. You paid your money and deserve to express your feelings and concerns. Again, I apologize and I still feel that you look wonderful. Just give it a few months, hopefully you'll love your results.

Opps, I meant for my last post to be directed to Beverlyhillsca.
September 16, 2016
This is an awful thing to say to someone that is on here for support. I'm sure there are a lot of up and down feelings after a procedure, and she shouldn't be said to be 'nagging or complaining' when she comes on here to post her thoughts. That's what the forum is for. You are the only one complaining, go post on a negative site, not on one for support. Shame on you
September 16, 2016
That was directed to @bubbleyes72, obviously. I hope you aren't having any surgery soon
September 16, 2016
@bubbleyes72 realizes what she said was wrong and has apologized.. Let's just move on with positive comments:)

I got my implants done by Stanton back in Dec 2015 and that's all i wanted too - was something that looks classy and proportionate. I was definitely looking for a natural, athletic butt NOT a bubble butt. But I can tell fro your pics that your butt already looks good and it will continue to look better as time goes by. It already has a very nice shape. : )
September 15, 2016
What is your height, weight, and size before getting the implants? What size implant did u get? How much swelling did u have and was it a significant difference once it settled and all the swelling went away?? Do u have before pics, right after surgery pics, and 6 months or longer pics after the surgery?
September 15, 2016
Oh wow. I just looked at all of your pics! Your butt looks perfect and incredible ! But now I'm nervous my butt will just fluff out, round out and get slightly bigger over time. It looks like yours was kinda tight and squished in when u first got it, and as it healed, it took on a fuller shape. I'm just nervous (bc mine looks pretty full to begin with), that it may look fuller or rounder as it heals which will b too big for the look I want. Hmm. I guess I'll see. If it does, I might go back for a revision and have him put it something around 350 cc as I think that will take it down to what I want.

You know what's funny? You're one of the few girls on this site that is afraid to go bigger. A lot of women want bigger. Trust me - I was the same way. Especially, since I'm only 5'0. I didn't want it to make me look stocky....

It's very proportioned with your body, it looks amazing and natural. Just give it a month or two.

September 15, 2016
Lol thanks for the inspiration! So funny bc I'm already planning on putting money aside to get them smaller or taken out lol!! But ok. I'll hang tight. Today I do feel a little better bc it seems to be a little smaller/less wider then earlier this week. I just hope I can hide it in certain clothes as I work w a lot older/conservative people and really don't want it to be noticeable! Thank u so much for your comments and story. It really is making me feel better that it will go down.
