More pics

WORTH IT$8,000
These were taken about a month PO. My hips have since gone down a lot and I would love to do an r2 to fix that. My butt has gone down a little in the nearly 2 years PO, but not much. However my stomach has grown some of the fat back since these pics were taken and I'd love a more snatched waist.

Looking good
u look great!
Thanks ladies!
Is there a technique to keep results .. Have you been doing anything to try like workout diet massages ? Seems like quite an investment not like a one an done type thing
I did work out and do squats for the first year. I lost 10 lbs trying to get my waist smaller and it worked but my butt went down a little too. If you choose a very experienced Doctor your results will stay. I think that is one of the biggest determining factors. However, your mind plays tricks on you post surgery and sometimes you start thinking your butt is small because you get used to it. Booty greed! Iol I mainly want an R2 for a smaller waist, but I don't know if it's worth the investment.
Round two might actually just explode those results out of this world
Lmaooo

Today! Close to 2 years post io

Well ladies here I am at close to two years post op. At one point I lost 10 lbs and my butt did get smaller but my stomach never became completely flat. I've since gained the weight back and my butt has gotten bigger again but so had my waist. I would live an R2 to get some more defined hips and a snagged waist but not ready to invest the money and time yet at this moment.

I was wondering if the results were permanent. I'm 2 months post op with Dr. D. You look great!
Thanks curvesicrave. You do as well. I'm jealous of how many cc's he gave you!
Lol. It did go from 48 inches to 43 and I'm happy with this size.
I'm curious did you request a high number of cc's? I didn't think to do that in 2014, but since then I've noticed he's been doing a lot of higher volume BBLs so I'm wondering if people are requesting it. He told me he gave me 1800 cc's but then when I saw my before/after pics, 1300 was written on each butt cheek in marker. lol I kind of wish I said give me as many cc's as possible!
He did a good job. Your waist doesn't look wide.
Thank you! No it's not wide. I'm just considering an R2 for a more dramatic waist to hip ratio, but I hate to do this all over again.
He did a nice job
Thank you!
No I didn't. I told him I wanted a shapely butt not a huge butt. He gave me a high volume he said, so that after re-absorption I'd have the desired effect.
Oh that makes sense! I think my butt has held up nicely, but my hips have reabsorbed a lot. Not to the point where I'm as square as I used to be, but I'd love a touch up.
:-)
Idk why my response is not here but it's at the top.

A little over one year post up.

Here is a front pic so you can see the hips at over 1 year post up. At this point I had lost about 10 lbs from going to the gym but still had a bit of a tummy which is why I was trying on a one piece. ????

I know I've been writing a lot but LEGIT QUESTION HERE PLEASE ANSWEr .how has the lipo affected your stomach . You had no tummy tuck right so is the skin a Little loose? Why cover it up u look so curvy and nice
Thank you. Your skin is loose after lipo but it tightens up over the next couple of months. The doctor should be able to give you an assessment of how tight your skin will be by looking at you in person. However I was still left with lower belly fat I like to cover up. Also I have gained some of the weight I lost and the fat has gone back to that area although it's still way better than it was pre-surgery.
