HARD SPOTS SOFTENING.... Just a little bit but i feel hopeful!!

Hi all, it's been a while.. i've been so busy with "life". Just to brief you i'm still doing well, kept my progression and butt. The hardness in my cheeks have improved, yeah!!! the right side is much softer than the left. It's possibly due to my working out with a personal trainer at this point. We do squats and lunges every time we work out. My butt was warm, i had spasms and it ached from time to time so i assumed that the fat was still working itself after a year (round 2) and almost two years (round 1) and i think it is!! My left cheek is experiencing muscle spasms as I type!!! I am definitely going to Cortes (as of now) for round 3... He's closer to home and he appears to have mad skills and capable of sculpting me a bit more keeping it all natural looking but sexy, improve my butt shape and get rid of the last of this fat... He spoke on how he will fill in the center, add to the bottom of my butt and take away just a little from my upper hip region to sculpt me a bit more. Chin lip too...yeah... Now we're moving to the face!!?? *shrugs* so not my doing but hey..he's the expert! I'm hoping with these minor revisions that I will not have to go through the 4-6 weeks not sitting on my butt.... I'm waiting for my left cheek to catch up with the right as it pertains to softness so I can go to Cortes again for another consultation... I want him to pull, grab and poke to finally advise me of what he can and can't do... I'm looking to have round 3 done between April and May.

Round 3- Wilberto Cortes...

So i'm looking to have round 3 to improve my shape and more lipo. It's kind of weird in a good way b/c Dr. Cortes was able to point out the areas of concern that I had without my saying a word. so I feel like we're on the same page. It's nothing against Dr. Pazmino and his staff, but I have family and friends in Houson whom i will slumber with for a week while I undergo this process. I like the fat that i will have one drain and need to wear my garment for like 2 months. I like 90% of Cortes work. The other 10% appears to be oversized butts but it's apparent based on the wish pics that this is what his patients want. He's known for giving the perfect hip to waist ratio and he's into natural looks. I feel for my FINAL round he's it. Even though i'm slightly nervous I seek comfort in knowing that his patients stay a day in the hospital for close observation. I'm excited and ready to get these final improvements done... My conern is the hardness and flatness in my cheek areas which is suspected to be fat necrosis and/or scar tissue. I'm thinking it's more scar tissue... again, i'm yet to have it tested to determine that it's necrosis... Dr. Cortes stressed that the concerns that I have are not a direct effect of Dr. P's work and I believe the same. Everyone's body reacts differently and it takes some time for hard spots to soften... I feel confident in Dr. Cortes' abilities. I dont have a date yet. I'm still trying to give this butt time to soften up... I dont know if it's best to give my butt time to soften, add cortisone shots to the mix or have it removed... I'm uncertain at this point...

Anyone experiencing hardness and flatness where...

Anyone experiencing hardness and flatness where it's hard? The area is not sore at all, I was told to give it a year to soften... Your experiences with this would be greatly appreciated! How long did your hardness last? What did you do if anything to side in softening it or speeding up the process? Thanks in advance for your responses!

Dr Pazmino and his staff spent tons of time with me and answered all of my questions! His staff and I braced when we first met on Thursday! It was as if we knew each other forever! They are great! My sis is thinking about having hers done in March.
