HARD SPOTS SOFTENING.... Just a little bit but i feel hopeful!!
WORTH IT$8,050
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...

Baby girl....you look great...round ....3....Hun I had my first bbl 10 yrs ago....I just had 2nd round in August....oftentimes our bodies respond and react differently...I can almost tell by looking at some of these gals pre op pix how their results will be according to hoe long their butt crack is...the skin may be tighter than others skin...it may be thicker than others skin...for I'm 45 yrs old the elasticity in my skin is more apt to stretch...it's not as tight as others...so Dr Salama was able to induct 1700 cc in each cheek...including hips...my crack turns into a letter c...please doll reconsider round three pray about it...our bodies can only take so much....doll...this said in much luv and concern....

Thanks for your response. I thought about it. My skin has the poper elasticity, I just believe it all boils down to technique and the individual body. Me and some of the other girls here have similar concerns. I don't want another full BBL, I want fill ins and shape improvements to accomodate what I already have. Makes sense? I just want to improve and need more lipo to my back, flanks, abs and arms. After that, I promise i'm done! When the fat leaves one area it's redeposited in other areas where little to no fat was removed. This is what i'm dealing with now as well. I feel these surgeons should do a full fat removal allowed and not just remove from certain areas however based on my previous size i was a thick girl so i was expecting a round 2 or 3. Surgeons are allowing additional rounds as early as 1 year post.

Depending on our body types and weight and body structure some might need a second or third round. You have to do a little wait for healing and results and then see what more needs to be done. Dr.s cant fix everything in one surgery.

so tru. lovejoy you and i went in around the same time. i'm over a year round 2 and almost 2 years round 1. The flatness just isn't going away... it is however softening...

thanks. Hopefully the details will be of value to you when you get your BBL! That's why I try to be as detail as possible, to help those like you! God's favor on your BBL!

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!

I love your story, your new found confidence and the fact that you went again for more. Now question did u pay the same price for round? Was the healing process easier? I have 50 more days and it feels like forevvvver.

Thanks Msbrandnew. I did not pay the same for round 2 because me and a few others were used for a secondary lipo treatment with 6 or 7 various lipo methods that Dr P was trying out. The second round was a little harder for me b/c the lipo was more intense and I had drains this round. I was not walking around the night of like I was round 1. Healing process was a bit easier but constantly I ask myself why did I do this again lol. I still have some hardness and slight flatness where it's hard and was advised to wait a year out. I will do just that and see else October 2013, we need to take out the hard areas and redo it! I went from weighing 188 pre round 2 to now 171. Most of my size 10s are big as well as my medium dresses. I do also love the shape and fullness of my hips and butt except where the hardness is. I feel however that I'm about 85% back to normal.

I am 4 months post op and I still have hardness. The flat areas are not as obvious now. Heat and massage help soften those areas. Gl

Clarification where are the hard spots? What type of massage are you getting?
