5 week Post Op
Hey hey Y’all,
Okay so I’m officially 5 weeks post op. I meant to post last week but I couldn’t decide whether to post on my 4 week or month mark so 5 weeks it is.
As far as the body goes, my waist is down to 29.5-30 after eating and my butt/hips remained at 42.5-43. I wore a size 9 prior to surgery, a size 13 right after for the first 2/3 weeks and now a size 11. I was never really inflamed (swollen) but it felt more comfortable to wear the 13 initially.
I still wear my faja 24/7, with foams at night and with a waist cincher during the day. I don’t have any lines or imprints on my body from the cincher, faja or underwear.
Pain wise, I am not in pain. Still a little sensitive to the touch, like rubbing lotion n stuff but otherwise I feel nothing. The triangle are on my back is still numb. My bottom is about 50-60% soft. I have accidentally sat down once, when my son had to get shots but I wasn’t thinking about my butt at the time. Needless to say, it was not comfortable at all and I got back up almost immediately. I still use my booty buddy every time I have to sit and take it everywhere shamelessly. I don’t have any new stretch mark or anything. As far as scarring goes, the two points at the top of my cheeks are very noticeable and will likely form keloids since I am prone to them. The one in the middle of my back is less noticeable but it will also for a keloid. The others are barely noticeable. I am still sleeping on my stomach and I actually don’t mind it.
I have said it a few times n I’ll say it again, I am happy with my results and I am not considering doing it again. I think Kagan did a great job with my body. It looks very natural.
I have my faja on in the picture. That was my first outing since the surgery, a wedding and it was 2.5 weeks post op.

2 weeks - Real Feelings
Are my results dramatic? No. Do I love them? Yes. I honestly believe Kagan did the best he could with my waist. There is literally no fat in front, back or on the sides of my abdomen. I mean none, my skin is adhering to my muscles which feels weird so I constantly massage it. If I was built differently then my waist would likely have been smaller. At this point it’s up to me to work out and tighten the muscle. Mind you I do have a 2 year old so this is pretty darn good. On my butt though, though I love it, I feel he could have gone bigger. I have very tight skin so he may not have been able to fit more but I’m not sure. My measurements are 37/30.5/43. And I love it. Now would I do this again... not likely but it’s not because I regret it, I just wouldn’t repeat it. My butt makes my boobs feel small now smh. Only other surgery I’d consider is a nose job so my boobs will have to say this size. I still haven’t sat and don’t intend to. I do have a long road trip this weekend that I’m worried about but I’ll figure it out. No sex yet (yes I’m rolling my eyes). As for pain... my sides decided to start hurting again and it’s the same muscle on both sides. It feels like a cramp but massaging doesn’t help at all. Im just going to wait it out. I switched to a waist trainer under my faja rather than foams and I’ve gone down half an inch. I’m going to update a bit less going forth. Hope the pictures help. I’ll be back in 2 weeks unless someone requests an update or something dramatic happens.
Forgot the pictures
Sorry I couldn’t get the back. Yes the underwear is inside out, but only because the seems leave imprints. I wear underwear under my faja, it’s just a comfort thing. I don’t think I would if I wasn’t going to work. As you can see, the waist of the underwear is way to big.

He was very honest and complimentary. I did not see him in the OR due to the anesthesiologists hast but prior, during the mark up, he came across very friendly Nd willing.
