Dr Farrugia is the best. My results are so good. Sometimes I think there’s no difference because I’ve seen my body everyday and I forget how I used to look. My butt isn’t much larger but the overall shape of my body is so much better. I’m seeing him again this Thursday at his new practice in Chicago “BodyLuxe” can’t wait!!

The first pic is in a photoshop app because I was going to photoshop it to look like what I wanted at the time of surgery. That pic isn’t photoshopped.
Hi. I’m scheduled with the same doctor and am nervous because you said you didn’t see any difference in your butt? Were you sitting on it afterwards or anything? Did you find out why the fat didn’t survive?
Hey! So my butt was way bigger after the surgery and I chose to not sit for about 3 months unless I was using the bbl pillow when driving. I’m not super big so I didn’t have a lot of fat to transfer but I can tell you that a lot of your fat will not survive. My butt isn’t necessary way bigger but the shape is nicer!! This is the case with any surgeon tho. Some people retain the fat better than others. I’m still happy with my body now.

Body looks like it’s going back to what it was

Unfortunately the bbl didn’t stay well.. I’m really sad about that. My stomach still looks good though.. I loved my body in the beginning but I wish I could get more done.. I tried to eat a lot to maintain the fat but it didn’t stay so now I just gained weight in other places and have a small bottom again

Dr Farrugia you are a legend

Took my garment off for the first time today and I look amazing! My butt isn’t big but there’s more volume- it’s flattering and perfect for my body type. My stomach is flat and smooth. Last night my butt was on fire and super itchy… felt like hells itch. The shower went well I almost fainted from taking the garment off but laid down for 10 minutes and went back in the shower. I hope results stay like this or get even better!!

looking good. I am curious to see how the scars heal and how long I will need to be out of work for this procedure.
The first 2 days are rough. After that is still painful but you can walk around more. I’m giving myself till the 1st
