Day of surgery

WORTH IT$4,000
I’ve always wanted to get a bbl. being so tiny I wasn’t blessed with a butt. I was finally able to afford the surgery. Feb 5, 2019 is when I had it. When I woke up I was screaming in pain for about two hours or so. Sadly my ride didn’t bring the pain killers when he picked me up. We had to stop and get them. Plus my car is a tiny Camaro. Lol needless to say I sounded like I was in labor until the 4 percs I took kicked in. When we got home I passed out. I kept waking up and falling back asleep. Took my two antibiotics. Walked around as much as I could and tried to force myself to eat something. Emptied my drain. Went back to sleep. This was an all day/night thing.
Day 1 post op:
I had set an alarm at 6:30am to make sure I took my antibiotics 12 hours apart. Upon waking up I was very very very sore. I hurried up and took my painkillers before it could go further. Just got up and walked to the bathroom to drain. Back in bed now. Had to take an anti nausea pill. I’m sure the pain would be worse, but I’m really keeping up with the pain meds. Today feels so much better though. Have to go to check up in a few hours.

February 7, 2019
I’m interested in goin to Dr. Earle as well did you stay at a recovery house?
February 7, 2019
Dr Earle is great. I have minimal bruising. Draining well. Just had my first massage. I definitely recommend him so far! I stayed with friends. I’m from here so they’ve been helping me out.
February 7, 2019
Omg is the pain that bad? Did you go to Avana or Pure?
February 7, 2019
Waking up was brutal. As soon as I took my painkillers I was fine. Just have to take them every 4 hours. If not feel very sore, but it’s day 3 and I’m not in serious pain.
February 7, 2019
I go March 18 for surgery. How do you like your results? What was you weight and height? How many cc's did you get? Sorry for so many questions! Lol!
February 7, 2019
Are you going to dr Earle? It’s day 3. Just finally saw myself naked. He literally sucked all the fat out that he could. I’m liking it so far. I’m 5’1 and was 115 pounds. So we didn’t have much to work with lol. I’m about to do my post op so I’ll ask how many ccs went in and update lol
February 7, 2019
Yes I'm going to him at pure. March 18th me and 2 friends.
February 7, 2019

We’re almost the same measurements :)
February 7, 2019
I think goin to go to him cause so far I’ve been hearing good things... I’m scared about waking up in pain i have to stay at a recovery house cause I’m from out of state
February 7, 2019
Yea they told me waking up isn’t bad but to be honest that’s bs! Lol make sure whoever picks you up has your prescriptions on the spot for you. I took 4 percs as soon as I got in the car. Took about an hour to kick in. Sounded like I was in labor lol. But once you get the pain management going it’s not bad at all. Just sore. Make sure not to miss a dose though
February 7, 2019
Oh gesshhhh
February 7, 2019
I’m goin alone so i have to find a recovery house and i guess get my meds before hand.. thanks so much for your input and good luck to you
February 7, 2019
Good luck to you as well! I think at the recovery house they help with all that
February 7, 2019
Ok thank you
February 7, 2019

February 7, 2019

February 7, 2019

February 7, 2019

February 7, 2019

February 7, 2019
Oh ok yes that’s what I’m goin for I’m lookin for March as well i have to stay 5 days since I’m from New York they said.. trying to find a good and fair pricing recovery house
February 7, 2019
I hope I have my pills when I wake up. I'm also taking the Tylenol muscle and pain 650mg with me just in case I don't have my prescription and maybe sum cbd candy for pain. I hate pain.
February 7, 2019

Before and after pics

Here are my before and after pics .
5”1
115 pounds
Wasn’t much to work with but happy with the results.
I definitely think I’ll end up having to get another one if I can put on more weight in the future to get the desired results, but again for the very little fat I had he made sure to suck out every ounce lol.

One week post op

mccarlisle
6 days post op pics. Drain was removed on Friday.
Still I’m some pain
I’ve been trying Aleve to help with it
Not as much drainage or bruising anymore
The sleeping on the stomach is getting pretty annoying, but besides that everything is good.

Your results are awesome! Thank you for always keeping us updated. How many days was the prescription for? Was the pain manageable? Oh lord help me... this will be me next week. I hope the pain won’t be so bad! Happy healing dear.
February 12, 2019
lol he gave me a good amount. I’ve just had so many serious injuries/surgeries that I’m pretty much immune to pain killers. So I flew through the prescription. It’s not unbearable. It’s just uncomfortable at this point. You’ll be fine love!
February 12, 2019
Nice! How was your experience with Dr. Earle? Did you go to Avana or plastic ?
February 13, 2019
I went to Avana. Dr Earle was great. I’ll definitely go back to him in the future. Is that who you’re going with?
February 13, 2019
Yes ! Initially i wanted Dr. Alvarez but there communication is terrible I’m not goin to beg them to take my money lol
February 13, 2019
Lol you certainly don’t have to deal with that at Avana
February 13, 2019
I know there consistent with there calls
February 13, 2019
Thx dear.. so freaking nervous
February 13, 2019
Don’t be!!! It’s very exciting! I’m finally not self conscious about my butt! I can’t wait till I can actually show it off though lol
February 13, 2019
Lol... I bet!! I’ll be ok I’m a big gal... lol what are the most important things that I need to carry? I’m traveling out of state.
February 13, 2019
Clothes you don’t mind getting covered in bodily leakage lol if you have arnica that’d be good. And definitely the Lipo pads and 2 fajas . I got all mine there
February 13, 2019
Ok thank you. I’ll get the fajas there as well. How many lipo pads do I need? So sorry for all the questions... I just need to stay prepared.
February 13, 2019
They recommend 4 so that’s what I got
February 13, 2019
