Long Overdue Review!

WORTH IT$3,600
Hello everyone! Sorry to the much overdue current review! I have been extremely busy this summer doing an internship in a different and new city, I am about to start my last semester before I graduate with my bachelors in December! Woo hoo! So I checked my weight the other day, and I am at 150, which I am pleased with. I went to my primary care dr.'s office a day ago, and asked them out of curiosity what the last weight I checked in at (this was about 2 weeks prior to my surgery) and they clocked me in at 165! So I have gone from 165 prior to surgery, which was more than I thought, to now 150, so I'm 15 pounds down :D And I can believe it! Clothes fit much better and look much better. This is all while doing no practically no exercise. I was waaaay too busy with the 3 month internship and taking summer classes. But I did keep an eye on what I ate and how much of it, with splurges here and there. Once I graduate in December I'll have about 6 months off before I start grad school and plan on doing nothing but working out during that time, it'll be really nice to be able to focus on me and not school for a bit.
I still love my results! I can deff tell the swelling in my hips, love handles, and butt have gone down. My hips are smaller and my butt isn't nearly as big/swollen as it was shortly after surgery. But as a reminder to everyone, this surgery was not for the intent of getting a BBL, the "mini BBL" I received was just a small perk. What I paid for was the love handles to be gone and my hips to be smaller and I am 100% satisfied, the fat that he graciously lipo'd for free out of my upper and lower back was also just another perk. But the fat out of my back that he got rid of, which was a pretty good amount, has made a big difference in that "bra fat" and has given me more of a curve in my lower back to make my booty stand out more. So that awesome! It looks great in a dress ;) Would I do it all over again? Absolutely! Dr. Hedden is an excellent doctor and I have recommended him several times. On a side note, the only thing that I wish looked better were my small scars but this is MY FAULT for not putting the Mederma on every single day for 3 weeks straight like the package said. The scars from the lipo are very very small, and are where they are supposed to be and there are only four (they are on my back) I've showed my friends the scars and all of them tell me "I really didn't even notice them until you said anything" so now I'm applying Mederma scar creme everyday, like I was supposed to do in the first place. But they aren't even noticeable, I'm just being paranoid haha. If anyone asks I'll just tell them that they are scars from old dermal piercings I had when I was a teenager. Never had them but I've seen dermal back piercings before and its exactly what the scars look like, old scars from previous dermal piercings haha. And if anyone is wondering what my measurements are I have a 40" hip/butt, 34D chest, and a 30" waist! I am a size 6 in express jeans and a medium express top.

I'm so glad you are happy with your results. Dr. Hedden did my BA and BL in December 2012. I LOVE HIM!!!! In my opinion, there is no way you could find anyone better. :) Good luck in grad school.

Still Satisfied :)

Hello everyone! I am still satisfied with my results! Still has some swelling going on around my lower back and love handles area, the doctor noticed that last time, and said it will go down. Going into the surgery though I know ALL the swelling doenst go down until about 9 months. However I look great! Someone asked on here if my butt is still hard and it never really was hard, it was tight for the couple of days, but never hard. But butt has since been a slightly firm and slightly squishy booty just like everyone else's :) I'm very happy with everything and would absolutely do it again :)
