BBL with Schulman 8/20/19

My 8 week before and after. I’m very happy

He did a really good job at scooping my back and making me way less square. I know I wasn't easy to work with because my before was very flat as well as my skin being very tight. Also I love that I'm not nearly as flat while still looking natural! My butt shrank a lot in the two weeks, which I knew was going to happen. I just hope it's mostly done shrinking! I am back to functioning normal, except for not sitting and laying on my back. I didn't realize that I was really going to be in the foams 24/7, so with all that under my clothes I look fatter than when I did before, so it kind of plays tricks with your mind. But I have to remember I have foams and a garment on! It's weird not being able to see your results except for when you get in the shower. With that being said, I can't wait to be done with my foams!!!!

I thought I would write a review because it was so helpful for me during my journey pre-op. I originally was supposed to go to another surgeon, but my heart was telling me to go to Dr. Schulman still. I am so glad I listed to my gut instinct. It’s only a week post op, but the difference is tremendous. I am one of his bigger BBL patients with a BMI of 30 with a good amount of donor fat along with my height being 5’9”. I wanted a BBL because I was always curvy.. But only in the front. I needed the back to be curvy too lol.
Everything fell into place from the consultation, to booking, to the surgery. I had my consult and surgery within a little other a month or each other. With my consult being on July 12th booking the same day for August 20th. I was able to do it so soon because like I said I was supposed to go somewhere else, and also I have been wanting this for years. They were very flexible with my schedule (considering there wasn’t much time to work with either).
I was so nervous about going into surgery since I never have before, but they made it really easy. The anesthesiologist was super nice and made me feel really comfortable!! I had a drain since 5 liters of fat was taken out. When I woke up the nurse said 1100 CC was put into each cheek, but I forgot to confirm that at my post op appointment because I honestly don’t really care, I just care that it looks good. I woke up feeling fine, waking up with a hangover is worse. I also have been lucky I have had no itching, little bruising (I think it’s because of the arnica they have you take 3 days before), and I was able to move around pretty well and didn’t have to use a lot of pain killer. The only thing that really was tough was not being allowed to shower because the smell is real!!!
I got to finally take my garment off and see my results in office at the post op appointment which was a week later (which was with Caitlin (who is the best btw!!). I couldn’t believe I was seeing myself in the mirror, it looked too good to be me. My butt looks very natural. Of course I would like for it to be bigger, but that’s me being greedy and unrealistic because my backside was literally inverted before this. I think my new butt fits me very well and also for my profession, it’s perfect that it looks natural. It's hard to admire it since I am stuck in the stage 1 garment for 3 weeks with foams, but the little time I get to see it I am in awe.
I will post before and after pics as soon as I’m done healing, but feel free to inbox me with any questions because I know I had a lot. I would be happy to help.
