Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the updates =( but I'm at 7 weeks now... bruising gone I still have the pox marks but they are less visible. The rippling/dimpling on the stomach is almost entirely gone although there is some (very little) swelling. Still have some numbness in the lower back... Absolutely love my flatter figure and new waistline.. Clothes fit really well =) Ok, ok now for the booty.... I quit wearing the garment and I sit and try to sleep on it (try being the operative word) it was a little uncomfortable in the beginning and took some getting used. I really didn't get the big bodacious booty I thought I wanted. Notice I said thought. Turns out I'm really happy with my lil bubble butt (my daughter calls it that c(= ) It’s great to be admired and not so much ogled.. the down side.. I got some cellulite (blah) not too bad but more than I had before so I tried to start exercising ** note. Running is a big NO NO!!! Doctor said my body could continue to change but I’m satisfied with where I am so keeping my fingers crossed that it won’t change too much. Honestly I think I got more results from the sculpting from lipo than the fat transfer. At this point it doesn’t matter, I feel awesome and have no regrets =)

Hi "iwantitbad" I didn't have any drains the incisions closed themselves 3 or 4 days out.You should ask your doctor if u will have the drains. I traveled home the very next day (which sucked)I wish I would have taken some extra time. Def wait till the 3rd day when u can shower and have a clean garment on and not travel with 30 lbs of gauze soaked from ur incisons draining. I know it's sounds gross and trust me it was =( Wish you the best HUGZ!!!!

I went to the same DR, earlier this year and was completely unsatisfied.He wants to get you in asap and and have you leave as long as he gets ur money.Tried to call for questions and they would not even respond.I have my post up and there`s also another lady n.y state of mind that went through the same horrible experience like myself.Would never dare go back to him again,forgot to mention none of the stuff wear gloves for goodness sake.I will have to go to Dr campos coz I heard he could put up to 600-1000cc without no problem,with Dr luis wanted 600 but gave me 250cc

OK 2 week update =) Feeling really good only slight burning/tearing sensation on left side (waist) when I bend or twist a certain way. Feeling in my lower back has almost fully returned. Bruising almost entirely gone. Skin feels really tight Can see big changes in the waist and stomach (yay!!!) not so much in the glutes =( ...But my clothes definitely fit better......Concerned about the ripples and dimpling on the stomach. I think most of the swelling has gone down not sure how to tell for sure. Did not change garment as of yet what I did do was purchase one for the waist with no zippers and use it under the garment given to me from the doctor ( I hope this is ok) but I don't know how tight I should wear it.Would really like to start exercising again I have to keep reminding myself thats it's only been 2 weeks some people don't see final results anywhere between 6 mo to a yr post op.. Grrrrrr.. But anyone that has done their research knows the BBL is a crapshoot too many varibles determine if u will have the results you want.. will I have enough viable fat?? Will my skin strecth?? Will I reabsorb the fat?? If so how much?? On and on..... Anywho... heres some stats..

Height 5'11
Weight pre-op 207 Weight post-op 203
Measurement pre-op 44-39-45
Measurement post-op 42-34-47

Till next week!! Hugz!!

Thx BreLove =) It's def an advantage to being a lil taller than most. I love that surprised look on peoples faces when I tell them my weight ( I'm still at 203) I love being tall and thick and with the added help I'm thick exactly where I want to be hehehe.. Much luv...

When were your drains removed and who did it for you if you flew home the next day?

How is the rimpling in your stomach doing? I have that as well and I'm hoping that is not the final look.

9/26/11 So 6 days post op. Feeling well. No pain meds needed still on the antibiotics. Very few lipo areas tender to touch. Bruising down and most of the swelling I see is in the pubic area. Still feeling dizzy and nausea at times but unsure if due to meds or lower caloric intake. Compression garment tight in glutes but loose in waist may need to purchase second stage garment already (yay!!)Can't see a big difference in photos but definately in the fit of my clothes. Hope my butt stays this size =) Have pics of the front but I'm bucked nekid (LMBBLO (Laughing My Brazilian Butt Lift Off)) If you want to see send message (=
