Day 21 of my procedure and I couldn't be happier!

BBL and Fat Transfer

WORTH IT$9,000
As a fitness enthusiast I pushed the limit of what I could achieve with weightlifting and my genetics. For a petite woman, I had back fat that I wanted to have lipo'd. The doctor made a lot of sense when he said, if we are taking out the fat why not transfer it. Here we are, day 21 of my procedure and I couldn't be happier! My areas of hip depression are gone and everything feels amazing! My husband is incredibly happy with my results too! Highly recommend the procedure and my provider Dr. Mendieta.

Wow looks great! I had one Oct .3. I hate to say it but I'm not happy with it. The first few days I was happy. Three weeks later I got very sick. Legs swelling, coughing, couldn't breathe. I went to hospital I had blood clots in both lungs. Two weeks after that I developed double pneumonia. My butt is saggy, jiggly. My legs are I guess saggy. They aren't smoothe. I paid $16,000 for these procedures. Not worth it o me

I am so sorry to hear that!!!! That is horrible. Did you have to travel to Miami or are you in Florida? Did you stay in a recovery house or do it yourself. I've heard if people getting sick flying or in the recovery house - neither of which I did. My husband took (and is still) taking care of me. I wish you were happy with your results and I'm sorry you had to go through all that.

How did you develop blood clots? Were you a smoker? Were you not walking and moving how you were supposed to? Just wondering thanks

Have you started training at all , omg I am dying to !!! Lol do lunges to pic stuff up !! I was doing super sets of squats 3 days a week at 95 lbs , omfg soooo ready to make his work ever more awesome, he’s a god
February 5, 2020
Not yet but I am dying to start as well. He did tell me I could do everything I did before; but, I was lifting 185 lbs below parallel so I am not even remotely thinking I could even come close. I can barely rub lotion on my legs, how is your flexibility? That's what I need most. In a few weeks, I may try some goblet wide squats and slowly ease my way back in. How are you feeling?
February 5, 2020
Omg girl !! Ya def not 185 nooooo !! Take it slow , squat light u don’t want to burn off the beast!! Week 1 I could lift my foot to the counter to do lotion, did lunges to pic up stuff and week 2 tomorrow I kinda feel like I could train if it want for the pressure in my stomach and bach
February 5, 2020
That's awesome! You're doing better than I am with flexibility for sure. Are you still wearing your Faja?
February 6, 2020
Lol yes , I feel weird when I take it off . It feels to me like pressure . I have a back Board , stomach board , hell I am squished everywhere.. my hubby is a doc and he has been astonished at how fast I am healing . Lordy be me too , I didn’t think my old ass would heal this fast

That awesome, I think if you're in good shape going on you will breeze through recovery. I'm a medical rep and already doing a convention this weekend in Miami. I feel great! Just need a few more weeks before I start hitting the gym regularly, tomorrow I'm at 5 weeks. Dr M said I don't need the Faja anymore and I can do everything I did preop. I'm still careful and I bought a nice body shaper that looks great under clothes! Off to my meeting. Where can I find your pics? I'm dying to see how everything is looking. And yeah, I'm 48 but I feel like I'm 28 sometimes lol

Lmao ur adorbs!!! I was thinking I could have Marisol give u my number ?? I guess we can’t post names but I could give u a code name to give her
February 6, 2020
How do you feel when you don’t use the faja? Does it feel like everything drops?
February 6, 2020
No , just feels like extra pressure on the stomach . Lol booty is softer than week 1 but that’s to be expected. Squat squat squat

This is my first full week back at the gym. Took it super easy but it felt great! Hope you are feeling awesome!!! Tomorrow is 7 weeks for me!!
