10 months out

WORTH IT$13,500
I apologize for being MIA. Just been busy with life. I'm 10 months out. It seems like after you're past 6month your butt stop changing. The only thing that I've noticed change is that my butt have gotten a little softer. The bottom is squishy but the center is still hard but nothing like how it was before. When I first got it done, my butt was rock hard and you can't even squish it. Little by little and specially after 6month I've noticed that it has gotten softer. I've read that it supposed to feel like an athletic butt after it has fully healed. If it continues to get softer by this rate I believe it might. There is a difference between my right and left butt. Right butt has dropped more and is softer than left. I don't know if my left is ever going to drop because I'm 10month now. I'm 100% back to normal except I still can't run, jump or get smacked on the middle part of my butt. Overall I am very happy with dr.stanton's work and I believe he is an expert at what he does. In my opinion, he is the best at making implants look as real as possible and knowing where to exactly place them depending on the individuals body type. The only complains I have about his work is projection. I went in asking for a big change and specifically said I'm looking for that dramatic bubble butt. Well my booty size is nowhere around my wish pics so in that aspect I'm disappointed. This is not a surgery that you would want to have twice but as crazy as it sounds I'm considering a revision to get the projection that I want. I plan on consulting both dr.stanton and dr.grawe but dr.stanton is my first choice. I've heard that aart(implant brand that grawe uses) is softer than spectrum (implant brand that Stanton uses) but I don't know if I buy that. I have seen different doctors advertising that aart is the softest brand available and squishing it around but as far as I know the spectum brand were that squishy too when I felt it at my pre op. Once they are inside you though it's a totally different story. I need to hear it from a patient that I've felt both in order to confirm for myself. If anyone In this site have had that experience please let me know because I'll be so happy to have that for my revision if it is indeed softer. Another thing is I lost about 10lbs and lost 1/2 inch from my hips... I've a poor appetite so if anyone has tips about gaining weight in a healthy way please share
Tips for future dr.stanton's patients
Know you're in great hands but these are the things that I wish I knew before I had my surgery instead of after
1. Don't just look at other girls pics and think that's how 500cc looks or 600cc looks. I thought that. Always put into account that persons height, weight and body structure. Know your before measurements and based on the measurement of the implant your doctor should be able to tell you a rough estimate on what to expect. Atleast that way you know what to expect
2. It takes a couple of months to see the real results of your surgery. It's hard but be patient. I drove myself crazy the first couple of months because I had very little projection. Even though I still don't have my desired projection I believe it has significantly change over the past couple of months

I feel you on what ur saying.iv noticed that every patient dr stanton had.their results never look like their wish picture. As a docter he should just b honest n tell patients that their wish pic cannot be achieved saftly.im guessing the reason he doesnt keep it real is cuz he would looss alot of patients..but graww who i originally wanted to go with puts huge implants in small patients ..To me .i think that is unethical to knowingly place an implant in a patient that you know doesnt fit the criteria and knowingly that the patients will experience worse complication s dwn the line. If i were u i would stay... The truth is one u hav implants for sum yrs.it will stretch your musscles n skinn so if u decide to remove ur [RS bleep] will b saggy.or if u choose to be bigger ..over time u will need to keep going bigger n bigger n have tissue removal..i think u look great but its ur body n both dr stanton was unethical because he should hav told u that he could not acheive the look u requested n financially n physically in envested in.

Thanks Hun! Exactly how I feel.... I feel like if I knew roughly what to expect projection wise, I would have taken it differently....I thought if it is placed under the muscle it wouldn't sag over time?? That's another thing to put in mind when considering revision with a bigger size I guess. anyways what i have now is a lot more than I did before so I'm still happy I had this surgery... I can't seem to get revision out of my head though but it still scares me when I think about all the possible risks

$freshme, how are you Sis? Its been a while. Your butt looks very nice. It has shaped up well. I certainly understand your wanting bigger implants. What one wants os just what one wants. My neice is going to Stanton in March and I am accompanying her. She wants big and Stanton said she can get the largest size that gives. She's getting 600ccs. She asked for 712 nut he doesn't do custom coz of the imminent risk og having too large implants. I definitely would not call Stanton unethical because I don't think he is. He errs on the side of caution and he's human so he is not perfect. Compared to Grawe who also does great work, I still think Stanton's work looks more natural. I give him 4.9 stars only coz there is ALWAYS room for improvement with everyone.

I am in the same boat. I need a revision and considering Stanton pr Grawe.. I do thinl Stanton is a great Dr but i dont see projection in his work.. I just see a lil natural nice full butt but no projection.. And i am so flat and need all the projection possible... I wish he could go at least 680cc ... I will not think twice of going with him..
Dr Grawe seams to be a good Dr as well but i just dont know if she reslly puts them intramuscular because one of her patients the implants got out of the "pocket" but i think maybe they will never inside the pocket.. Who knows.. !! Both of this drs are good but Stanton need to create a bigger implant.. Good luck to all of us dolls XX

I'm good thanks, how are you? Thank you! Really?? That's really nice! How tall is your niece? I believe he's not going to do custom on a first time patient. I actually have never seen anyone with a custom review on him. I don't think Stanton is unethical either. He always place safe which is a good thing. I believe she was referring to the small dr.grawe girls that where given these huge implants and ended up with complications when we where discussing unethical. Dr. Stanton's work is the most real looking in my eyes too. I believe he is the best at it in my personal opinion. That's why I'm stubborn about going back to him even if I wasn't happy about my projection. I'm glad he played it safe and would rather that than face an complications

February 15, 2017
Who was your original dr? Yes Stanton is the best at it but he just needs to offer bigger implants. Well now I'm hearing that he does customs. The only thing is I read the brand he uses for customs are firmer. Since it's a revision he might be willing to do customs for you. Consult with him. N amen to that... Good luck to all of us!

Hey Freshme, hope had a happy vday. I think my neice is about 5-6- 5-7. He said she can get 600ccs. That's perfect for her in my opinion but she wants huge so I am hoping she's not disappointed. Yeah, agree with you that Stanton should have customs. He told me that customs will stretch glute the muscle too much that could potentially be problematic later on. I also think Spectrum doesn't give as much projection like Aart but I am sure it's a reason he doesn't use other brands than Spectrum

February 15, 2017
I did thanks! I hope you did as well! This is so exciting to hear. We're almost the same height. Do you know how much she weighs? If she's comfortable please ask her to do a review because it would be so nice to see the 600cc on someone that have my stats. That would make my decision about revision 10x easier. If not, please ask her to do me a favor and measure her before and after hip/butt measurements just to see how much projection the 600cc would add. Good luck to her! When is she scheduled for? That's another thing I like about Stanton he always considers safety not just about the time being but for later on the road. Have you made up your mind about revision?

Put if u gain sum weight .a docter would b able to place a bigger omplant intramuscurlarly or under muscle..something to think about...n then get lipo to what ever areas .
FM
February 12, 2017
Well I'm not a small person. At the time of my pre op I was 5'5 139.5lb but my dr still gave me 500cc. Most girls that are much smaller than me have the same size.... But since this is going to be my second time around and my muscles are stretched So I should be able to take on bigger implant. I would still like to gain weight though just to add some extra fat around my butt and lipo my waist after. Did you end up going with dr. Grawe?

I am not sure how that will sound to others, but as far as I've seen from pictures, Dr. Grawe makes very artificial looking implants, with a very weird exagerated projection coming from the center of the gluteos. In my oppinion, a poor job. But this is just my opinnion anyways, no one has to agree with that.

I am hands down considering Dr. Stanton for butt implants. I've had a phone consultation with Dr. Shifrin as well, but I did not feel as comfortable talking with him as I felt talking on the phone with Dr. Stanton. And can swear to God Dr. Shifrin was driving during thr phone consultation - he may be a good doctor but yeah, no thank you!

By the way, your implants look fantastic, I would never touch them :)

Yep, I would rather glue with super-glue a half watermelon on each side of my buttocks, before having a butt augmentation by Dr. Grawe. I am sure it would look much better than her terrible job with butt implants. So sad but so true

I am so glad you did the right thing. From my end, I actually gave up on butt implants - my butt is small but beautiful and can look a way better after some weight lifting I am sure. I just recovered from lipo on multiple areas and breast implants that bottomed out and will need revision. Plastic surgery is too much time consuming. It took me too much energy, and I am still not done because I still need the revision. I've done just too much and to be honest I did not need half of it. Perfection does not exist and it my consume your mind and well being. I am overall happy with my results since my surgeon is the top doc in my area, but to be very honest with you I don't necessarily feel extremely prettier now before going under the knife. I am very much done with plastic surgery. I believe it may be nice to do this one thing that bothers you, as long as you go to a doctor who won't agree to give you a 2000 breast implant (some women more than plastic surgery may rather need psychiatric help). Again no one needs to agree - this is just some thoughts I am putting to it.

Not much have changed. I'm basically able to do anything I used to do before surgery except run and jump. My implant have dropped and fluffed. Right check is still bigger. Still not happy with my projection. I've been taking n posting pics from the same position so u guys can see the difference through the months. Tips on how to take your own butt pic : place your phone on a desk or anything that's elevated and record yourself walking and standing in a place where you think the camera can capture your full body. Then take a screen shot of the video and there you have your butt pic

Your butt certainly looks a little 'fluffed'out now at 5 months. Since you are still not happy with your projection, I recommend that you have a consult with Dr Grawe. She doez big. Stanton typically stays on the safe side with smaller implants. I encourage you to get a revision because I know that feeling all too well of knowing and wanting bigger. You just have to make your mind up to spend more $$ to get what will make you happy. At the end of the day, you are what matters. All the best...

October 13, 2016
Thanks for the advice! I definitely plan on that but the only thing that worries me is taking that chance of infection again. I've been following dr grawe and her work is wonderful. The only thing is I like how dr.stantons work look so realistic and flows well with the body. In my opinion I don't see that as much in dr.grawes work. But she gives the best projection than any other dr so I guess I've a decision to make

I agree with you. Dr Grawe's work is phenomenal and really for women who want huge. Dr Stanton is more 'natural' looking and that's why I love my results. Everyone compliments me on mine and tells me my a$$ looks like I was born with it...lol

October 14, 2016
I think my butt expanded more even at 6 months. I was before feeling it's too small but now that the implants have dropped and settled in place, my butt expanded a little to give me more projection. I am short so my size fits my body stature perfectly. Discuss your concerns with Stanton directly and hear what he has to say. Good luck.

Okay I'll try to reachout again and do that! I think you've a really good projection. That's the type of projection that I seek

Upper and lower abdomen lipo

FM
fresh me
Here is a before and after pic of lipo of my abdome. Love my result. I'm still swollen at 4 month specially my lower part of my abdomen. I'm not sure if it will ever go down but fingers crossed they will. It is very important to wear your garment at all times atleast 4-6 months cause even today my stomach gets swollen if I forget to wear my garment. My stomach is the flattest early in the morning before I eat than throughout the day but I've always been that way. Hence I took this pic before I ate

Don't worry the swelling goes down thru time but make sure you wear your garment. Very important. Nothing is over night I guess... Not even plastic surgery. My biggest problem now is after a meal. Does yours look extra bolted after you eat? I only have small meals too

I understand you! But trust me it's totally worth it. Lipo can shape you like crazy. You'll see whiten the next month it will be so much better and you'll fall in love with it. Even though mines are not 100% yet I'm able to wear tight clothing and look so good in it. At the end you'll be so happy watch... I don't drive

Girl you look great. I see the difference. I'm kicking myself for not letting Dr Stanton do my abs..oh well..but it was $5000 for the abs I think. I have lost a lot of it, but I'm still not as flat as I would like to be. I went for a local consult for lipo....I just don't know from im ready to be numb again and willing to wear that garment again..decisions decisions...
FM
October 27, 2016
Thanks Hun! Ya that was 4000 well spent... You should cause it's totally worth it.. If you're losing it without lipo then you might not need it but I personally did it cause if I lose weight I lose it all over and I didn't want that to happen... You're only numb for a short period of time like I would say a month but the garment I'm still wearing
