BBL for Flat Booty

So, I have wanted a BBL for many years, but I didn't tell anyone for different reasons. This past year I decided I was going to focus on myself more and that included finally talking about a BBL with my loved ones. Everyone is super supportive and told me to go for it. I had 2 consultations. The first doctor uses a 360 camera to take a picture and he can edit in front of you during the consultation. It was really cool, buuut I had to sit and wait to be seen for 2 hours because the person scheduled before me decided to show up an hour late. They prioritized her first so I was sat waiting in the waiting room for an hour and then in the consultation room for an hour. It was 5 o'clock before he came in so, therefore, it was rushed. He tried to not make it feel that way, but it definitely was. He only edited the picture to make my butt a tiny bit bigger, but didn't alter my body to show the true difference. He said I didn't have a lot of fat so I would be lucky to get 300 cc in each cheek.

The next consultation I had was with Dr. Devlin. He doesn't seem too personable, but he got right to the point. He told me he thinks he can get about 500 from each lovehandle and from each inner thigh area. At the appt I was up to 145-150ish. I had recently gained a few while on vacation. He seemed confident that it would make a big difference on me. A few weeks later, during my preop, I was up 20 lbs. Now sitting at around 165-167. This is the heaviest I've been and I feel so gross. He said it's fine and it'll just be more to work with. I'm hoping that it all works out and I'm able to come out with thinner legs and a nice shapely butt. I definitely wanna get some of the extra pounds off of my arms, legs, and face. So fingers crossed my butt is nice enough to where I can lose weight and still have a great shape.

4 more days! I'm so excited/super nervous!

My husband has been super supportive, as he always is, but he doesn't quite understand why working out intensly won't be sufficient for the booty gain I want. It doesn't make your butt grow that much and it takes consistency. It starts to lose inches as soon as the workouts slow down or stop. I don't just want a slightly lifted booty tho, I want a better overall shape with a natural looking big booty.

Immediately after surgery, my pain was pretty bad...around an 8. After my pain med kicked in, I slept all the way home and the rest of the night. I got up every 2 hours to pee, which is great meaning my body was peeing out some of my swelling. Day 1 post op I slept a lot of the day and took my pain med every 6 or so hours. I walked funny bc my knees hurt to bend. Lol. I took a shower and had to wait for my faja to get washed
Once I was able to put it back on, it felt so nice being compressed again. My doc put a stitch in all of my incisions except my knees. So that's where I drained a lot of my fluid out. It was easier to keep the mess contained, so I am happy with that choice. Day 2 I was up moving better, but still slow. I sat up on the bbl pillow for a couple mins, which was nice to give my belly and neck a break from laying down. Pain has been well controlled and overall satisfied so far.
Doc said he took about 2500 mls out, which was more than he expected, and was only able to put 450 mls in each cheek. My butt is pretty tight, so idk if it couldn't hold anymore or what. I'll ask next Tuesday during my post op appt.
So far, I like it. I know its swollen and it's gonna shrink, so I'm just hoping I don't lose too much. I think he gave a great shape, so I think that'll make a huge difference even if I lose a lot of it.
My sister did dry brushing and a lymphatic drainage massage on day 2... it felt soooo good. More pics of my butt to come.
