About to Do Butt Implants W/ Dr Stanton, Question for Those Who Already Did This Procedure - Beverly Hills, CA

Hey , so I had my surgery on Thursday June 2nd. I got 500 CC ovals. So I'm in day 3 of recovery . So Dr Stanton does prescribe pain meds and if you take two you'll fall asleep for sure . I do everytime. But sleeping is hard . I'm someone who is used to sleeping on my sides and back and although the post op instructions say you can sleep on your back you'll be so sore it won't be comfortable to. Plus you'll be adding extra pressure .

The best way for me to describe my personal recovery is "uncomfortable " . And yes I have had pain in my thighs kind of like the feeling that I need to be stretched , as if my muscles are tight. Also idk why but I don't seem to have an appetite so taking the meds is hard because I need food in my stomach so I'm constantly forcing myself to eat. But my mobility is just 3 days has increased. Things are getting easier

Hi. I had my butt implants done by Stanton almost 6 weeks ago now and just remember it's really the first 10 days that are horrible but it's all worth it. Dr Stanton and Mindy did tell me at my consult that this is literally a pain in the ass surgery and to be ready for it and I thought yea right it can't be that painful. I was wrong. To be completely honest day 2 through 10 I cried every day. By day 3 I asked my bf to call the dr and ask to take them out bcuz it was so painful (he lol and said yea right and didn't call) the Percocet just kept the edge off for about 2.5-3 hrs. I took 2 about every 3 hrs. U can't sleep all night the pain does come back every few hours so whoever u go with will need to help u get up and get more pain pills throughout the night. I also has Mindy call me in some anxiety medication to help me sleep at night just for the first 5 days. I believe it was Atavan. I would ask for that. It doesn't knock u out to sleep but just kinda relaxes your body enough to sleep a few hours. Sorry it's so long just want to try to help u be in the least amount of pain bcuz I wasn't prepared fully when I went out there for my surgery. I think most forget to tell us how painful it is. Ok so then also something I wish I would of brought was ice packs. Omg I used them when I got home on day 6 and they make it feel so much better. Bring like 3 big ones with u so once one of them melt u can have another one ready. Make sure to place a thin shirt or towel between it and ur skin tho so u won't get an ice burn. Ok so lastly not everyone gets the pinched nerve. I was unlucky and did get it on one side for about 4 days from like day 6-9. It did hurt hella bad but not all day just from time to time again and after about 4 days it was gone. I think I've only ready about two other women got it besides me so u most likely won't get it. I had Lipo on my sides so I sept on my tummy the first week and after that on my sides too. Not my bad. It's still not comfortable to lay on my back. To sit down is ok tho by like week 2-3. After the first ten days all the pain is gone. Just feels like a little sore muscles like after a good workout after that and they already are looking great after the 3rd-4th weeks.

The pain isn't bad if you stay ahead of it by taking your pain pill on time, before you start to hurt. Don't take it with your antibiotic, though. And take it with a little food, even if it is just some peanut butter or a little bread so it won't upset your tummy. The pain meds helped me a lot. I slept fine at night and I can't sleep on my stomach, so slept on my back. Dr. S. said it was ok. Put a pillow under your knees and maybe one under your back. Try to elevate your butt a little if you can.
