I want to cry

As time went along I did expect to lose some volume of course I knew that would happen. Me being on the smaller side I expected my shape and but to pop especially at this stage of the progress BUT i find myself with so much fat still and now it seems I have no but at all. Today alone 3 people asked me what happened to my but that it looks flat. I honestly don’t think e maximized the fat he could’ve removed and because I was smaller framed he didn’t put as much fat in the back as he could’ve. I’m so disappointed and all I keep hearing is I’m still swollen and give it time. I am giving it time but at the same time after a month I should see a change in my body which I’m not seeing. I don’t have a more contoured shape it’s like he just took away my love handles but didn’t shape me. I’m fighting to say if I have butt or if I don’t. It’s like overnight it deflated. I could use cry I work to hard and I don’t want to do this again that’ll just be more money

Did you contact the doctor? Did he recommend to do anything?
May 3, 2018
I’m on my way to see him now
May 3, 2018
Keep me posted on what he says. You are going to have to have a round two. Ridiculous that you spent your money and it didn't plump up and stay.
May 3, 2018
So I saw him today and he told me he only put 500 ccs in each cheek I’m like no wonder I don’t see a butt in retain things I wear. he said I didn’t have a lot of fat and I said no you just weren’t aggressive with the lipo. I didn’t expect 1000 ccs but I wanted at least like 700 to 750 because I know you lose volume. He’s like give it a couple ore months to see if anything changes. I’m so hurt cause I have 4 kids money don’t come easy. I could’ve saved and waited before I did my procedure for damn 500 ccs.
May 3, 2018
UN-EFFING-acceptable! Wait for how long? Money does NOT come easy and we svae to have these procedures, go through pain and suffering
May 3, 2018
my point exactly
May 3, 2018
When does he want you to come back? An if he adds more CC's will you have to pay?
May 3, 2018
He told me come back in 2 months to see if there’s any changes. He said I still have a lot of swelling so I need to I’ve it more time. He also said I can now start cardio. Like I told him yes my butt is more than what is was but I was like because I was smaller framed I think you just didn’t work your hardest. I told him I was not satisfied with 500 ccs but I will wait another 2 months and discuss it again with him.
May 3, 2018
This is bad business. I am telling Dr. Dowbak to give me as much volume as possible because you do lose some. But to go from plump to barely there is bad work on his part.
May 3, 2018
When someone have to ask you where your ass went you know you lost it. I told him because I was small framed he did a half ass job and that’s not air to me I paid y money
May 3, 2018
He needs to add more volume, you've already paid. I'd wait thirty more days, not another two months, and have him to put you back on his schedule. There is no wiggle room. I am sorry you're going through this.

hey did you get a cell saver? I’ve been reading about it and it supposedly helps with your BBL results.
May 4, 2018
No I didn’t get a cell saver but I did hear it helps
May 4, 2018
Im so sorry you're feeling bad. I too feel the same way. I just dont know if I can handle a round two. Im still sore in my back and thighs. Im still numb around my waist and back. Its really uncomfortable when I sleep too. I have major back pain now. At least you have seen your doc. Mine told me to come back in July! I saw him 1 week after and haven't seen him since. I wanted a snatched waist and I swear I look the same! It isnt fair that we didnt get what we wanted. I have zero projection and he told me he put 1000cc's in my butt. Ummm.....where???? I hope your doc takes care of you and fixes it. I question whether or not I even want to go back to my doc at this point.
May 4, 2018
I’m questioning the same thing but as long as I don’t have to pay he’s going to fix it. I already told the office manager that I was not satisfied so she took my information and said she’ll follow up with me when I come back in 2 months. She said to wait until I at least hit 3 months to see if I feel any differently
May 12, 2018
Girl I’m upset for you! Went to the same doctor and I don’t look the way I want to so far. Spoke to the manager and expressed how upset I was and that I wanted it fixed. You need to express how upset you truly are and that you’re not satisfied with your results. The whole “you can do cardio” comment was also inappropriate and unnecessary. The point of your surgery was so you wouldn’t have to do that. I think you should express all of this to the manager and ask for a revision.
May 12, 2018
I did address it with the office manger but they keep telling me I have to give it time. Like I spent my money I want results he says I didn’t have enough fat but yet I still look fat to me when I look in the mirror. I’ve been working out and doing cardio and the whole point of the surgery was to get rid of the stubborn fat my belly which is still there
May 12, 2018
You should tell that manager you will wait the 2 months and return back to that incompetent doctor who did your surgery to fix it for free. You spent so much money just to look the same. F*** that. Get your revision sis.

Don’t know what to think

So I haven’t been on here in a while but everyday I question my body and my surgery. I’m not going to say it’s not a difference cause I can see butt where I never had any but some days it looks so small and others it looks good. He did take some love handles out but honestly when it comes to shape to me I look the same. The other day my boyfriend was like my stomach looks bigger now than before my surgery because honestly I wasn’t that big. I’m kind of disappointed but I’m still hoping over time it improves. I wear my faja everyday all day and that’s the only time I see my shape one than that nope. I took it to get tightened so hopefully that will help. I’m just going to start working out but I didn’t want to do surgery and still have to work so hard on my body *sad face*

Love the pics girl! I can see some projection back there and it looks great! but I can see from your other pics, the stomach does look the same. Not that it was bad before or anything because you weren't ever big. Did you talk to your doc yet? Would you want to do a second round to acheive your desired result? I am considering it but not with mt doc.
April 29, 2018
All he says is it’s swelling I’ve seen girls bigger than me with the flat stomach and I was using my ab board for like 3 weeks straight every night. Ughhhhh it’s frustrating
April 29, 2018
I know! We werent big girls when we started this process so I dont see how we ended up not looking super flat in the belly afterwards, and Ive seen women snatched and they look like they've come out with 5 inches off their waist! I need more hips, more projection, and a super snatched waist!
April 29, 2018
And yes, my stomach is still poking out too! Ugh, its frustrating.

Have you gone to get a Lymphatic Massage?? You should have started them a few days after surgery. It helps to drain th fluid that builds up in your tissues. The waist trainer doesnt help with that. Go and get a few and see if it helps. You should see a difference in your belly after. Good luck!!
April 29, 2018
I’ve gotten 5 massages since I’ve had the surgery I’m going for more but even she said I would see some difference. But she said give it time but I have more scheduled

Exactly 3 weeks today. Been wearing only my waist trainer and I think is helped my woman gown down tremendously. My shape is tally coming out now and my butt is rounding out
