8 weeks for my 6 week follow up

$12,500
I saw Dr Dass last week for my 6 week follow up even though I was technically 8. I sat in 3.5 hour traffic and got so swollen my pics were horrible. You can see how bad the swelling got. He said I kept most of the fat and I let him know I might consider a revision because of the flattening in some.areas and fat that was absorbed. The only fat we can get is from my arms and inner thighs at this point. Also! My measurements were awesome!!!! Keep in mind my waist is not 30, more like 28. My 6 month follow up will show actual results.
Even today my results look awesome. I'll post pics when I'm 12 weeks out. It's so weird how the body changes everyday. There have been days I cried because I thought I didn't have a butt and then this am I thought "omg my ass is huge today!" This whole process is such a mind F.

I don’t notice the flat spots. I think you look great!!! I know what you mean about the healing being mind boggling. Sometimes I feel like my butt is shrinking by the day and at other times I think it’s bigger than the day before :-l

Aww, thank you! How is you're healing going? It's crazy too, sometimes the clothes make a huge difference as well! Although I do miss my 3 week booty...it was much rounder and projected

My healing is good so far. I stand all day at work and use a raised computer module so I’m exhausted when I get home but besides driving to work I do not want to sit and damage my booty fat cells. The booty is def much plumper weeks 2 and 3. It’s funny we all think it’s too big at first and then are sad when it slowly but surely starts to shrink

Finally! But not so fast....I am still effing swollen. And still up at night with burning pains. My hips have softened alot as well as my butt. I sat on it a bit today which was nice but I'm still using my booty buddy more. I wore jeans today which was nice too! My old jeans fit me but are loose in the waist.
Here's some pics, again, you can see the swollen parts. I see few dents and the lumps def go.away when the swelling goes.

You are looking amazing!! Glad you’re starting to feel better. I love watching the progress photos. The shape changes so much from day 1 to day 21 or so. The butt starts to drop and look more natural. It always freaks me out when I see the first day pics, lol. Happy healing!

Sleeping has been better! I feel almost 100% other than not being able to sit or sleep on my back. my garment is actually starting to get loose.all over. I know it's not stretched out because I bought two and have been alternating. So it's definitely swelling.going down. Still having issues with localized swelling on the lower back, bra roll area, and the few spots on my stomach but it's not like it was. The burning/tingling sensation seems to have gone away. I feel like the massaging has helped tremendously.
I definitely feel like my butt has shrank alot. I can tell with the way my garment bunches in the butt area, but it still looks big. It feels.likes.its kind of dropped a bit and has a more nature look. It's starting to soften but still firm.
I was supposed to have my 6 week appt next week but it will be more like 8 weeks because I had to reschedule. I plan on still not sitting for as long as possible. I've definitely been nervous about the fat living. I keep stressing about the 3 month mark where people complain of more shrinking. My hubby is planning as if I'll get a revision but honestly to hell with this recovery all over again! Hands down the sitting part is so inconvenient! The pillow only does so much but then my legs start cramping and aching. I also noticed that if I don't take regularly breaks at work, the bottom.of my cheeks get tingly when I stand and that's with the pillow no where near and leaning forward.
I did take measurements this morning and I'm 40/28.5/42.5. Not bad at all!!

Thank you for sharing! Did you only take 3 weeks off work? Glad you’re getting better
April 27, 2019
More or less. I went back to work after two but sitting set me back with swelling. So I ended up taking.all of.week.three off. My body is always weird whenever there's swelling involved, it takes a while. Even without eating salt, my bra rolls are swollen to.where they look how they used to. Thank you!
