BBL Journey

7 weeks post op

I am in love with my BBL. Finally passed the 6 weeks mark and my hips measure 44". I can sit normally and lay down on my back again!!!! The first couple weeks are the hardest but the end result is so worth it. I would absolutely do it again. I still have a little swelling. Ready to tone up and enjoy my new body.

I am almost to that big 3 week mark. I am still swollen but my bbl is holding solid at 44" ????????????? I have been very dedicated to not putting any pressure on my newly grafted fat transfer. It is not the easiest thing in the world but for optimal results follow your surgeons instructions. I drive using the BBL Bum Booster... any ladies having this procedure done invest in this pillow. The woman who makes these provides amazing customer service and shipped it to me in 2 days from the day I placed my order. The pillow is so firm, it held all my weight and my butt wasn't touching anything. Making a BBL lounge chair is the only way I get to lounge and sit around my house with me legs elevated and not spend the entire day in bed or standing. The deep under the skin itching eventually gets better, but I still feel it. Lymphatic massage is really beneficial for swelling, minimizing pain in lipo areas and preventing any hard spots. My surgeon is very skilled and I have zero lumps or scar tissue but the massages assured me I will have even better results than I can see right now because it is swelling not fat. If you are in my area John French is absolutely amazing. Arnica gel has done wonders and all my bruises are gone. What I love most is my result is natural. My skin wasn't overly stretched with too much fat injected and fits my body frame. I wanted to be enhanced but not look as if I had major work done.

Hi girl did you end up doing Breast augmentation combined with the BBL?
If you did can you tell me how hard is was and were was the incision for your breast implants?
Thank you I hope you are loving your results
I did have both breast augmentation and the BBL done at the same time. Much tougher recovery but worth it to go under once and deal with the process. I did my breast incisions underneath in the fold of my breast. I chose not to do the nipple incisions it just wasn't for me. I love my results. I received a fairly large size breast implant.. I also have a seperate review up about that. I sleep for a couple hours at a time and switch from side to side because I can't lay on my back for the BBL. Now that I am a little further post op I can make a cradle with pillows for my breast implants and lay on my stomach for a few hours. It's not the easiest recovery but I would do it again.

Lymphatic Massage

I had my first lymphatic massage today at 10 days post op. It wasn't painful at all. It was actually very soothing. I immediately had to pee after so moving some fluid out for sure. I'll be going once a week for an hour for at least the next 4 weeks maybe more depending on how it helps my healing. ?????

Hi, your results are fabulous! Where in Gainesville did you have your massages? I'm looking for a place I'm having my bbl in June.
