Bbl after 7 weeks

My swelling has completely gone. I think the reason is that lipo was gentle and I was taking the lymphatic drainage supplements I mentioned in my earlier post. Can’t remember the name of the supplement but I mentioned it before. The only area that is a little sore is my butt cheeks. I’m still sleeping on my stomach and plan to until my cheeks are not sore because if it’s sore it means I’m still healing. I use my bbl pillow And started sitting once in a while without it this week. But like it said it’s sore so i don’t sit for
More than 15 min.

3 WEEK & 2 DAYS LATER

So my update is generally a happy one. For many reasons, my swelling has gone done a lot, I can sleep through the night, my butt has not disappeared, my hips have not disappeared, i only have 5 small scars of which only 2 are smaller than the size of a dime and visible, my tummy is flat like never before.

The things I am NOT happy about are fewer. My hips are still slightly uneven, the fat did not make my underwear line/dent in butt go away, my arms do not look like they have been liposuctioned. I am most dissapointed about my hips because even though it is a minimal difference I can still tell, and I do not yet know if it's just something the doctor did as a mistake or it will change as the doctor told me would happen over the course of 6 months. I can tell you right now I am 90% convinced this is not going to change. It was there from one day post op and is still there today after most of the swelling has gone down. However, I am not letting that one thing ruin my experience. I am still very grateful that my body shape has improved and my shape has totally changed. I finally tried on some stretch dress pants and when I looked in the mirror I was like "damn I'm fine, hammer time!" lol I love my flat tummy and little bubble butt. I have a small frame so I was not expecting a huge butt, and this size butt I have now fits my frame nicely.

I also feel my butt looks bigger in pants. It feels small when I look at it naked but when I dress her up she looks like a bubble butt--strange but I am happy with that.

I am still doing my lymphatic massages 2x per week plus the massages I give myself. I am taking Lymphatonic herbal supplement I got from Amazon 3x per day and I think that has helped. I still use the female urinal thingy. I have not yet sat on my butt. I work at a standing desk and my mom drives me when I need to run errands. She is traveling starting today so I am now forced to use the BBL pillow. I read different suggestions online from doctors to medical journals that say it takes 3-6 months for fat to find a blood supply which gives your newly transferred fat the best survival rate. The nurse at Elite said after 4 weeks I can start sitting, but after my experience with them and what I've read I have to say I do not fully trust their advice. I will wait two months before I start actually sitting to be on the safe side. It won't hurt. And I am already almost half way there.

1 Week Post-op Update

It's been exactly 1 week since my BBL surgery at Elite Body Sculpture in NYC with Dr. Perkins. (for more details of Doctor, CC, price please see previous posts I made for that) I am feeling better today as far as stiffness goes. I am sleeping on my stomach every night so my neck gets pretty stiff, but my swelling is finally going down. I noticed a difference today when I put on my strechy pants. I didn't even touch hips whereas before sometime I would swipe them and touch my incisions which was painful, but today that did not happen.
I am eating as I normally do and I have managed to go to the bathroom for #2 at least once per day. I was constipated for the first 4 days. I wear my garment all the time even though it's a medium and I am really a small. I have ordered several online which don't fit so I am waiting for the 3rd one that is arriving tomorrow and I hope it fits!
I have been taking my antibiotics along with Lymphatonic, a herbal supplement that helps stimulate the removal of cellular waste. My mom has been giving me lymphatic drainage messages from time to time as well and sometimes I do whenever I have to take off my garment to shower and wash it. So far I have showered 3X. I couldn't shower all the time because my incisions were still open. Now they are finally starting to close up and healing (see pictures).
I feel that my right hip is a little more curved to the outside. It's very small but I can see it when I compare the two. I do not know why that is, I don't know if that's swelling, or if the doctor placed more fat on one side. I have yet to ask him as my skype meeting with him is tomorrow. I can't drive because I can't sit so that's why I am doing the meeting online instead.
Because I am standing for long periods of time (5-8 hours/day) I get tired, winded very easily. I have flat feet and my feet really hurt. My legs are a little swollen so that add to the soreness of my legs and feet.
I am cleaning my incisions, washing my garment every other day, sleeping on my stomach and not sitting. I also started using Bio-Oil Skincare oil yesterday to help with any stretch marks and scars I probably will start developing because how much my skin is being stretched.
I still don't know what I will look like 6 months from now once all is said and done, however my body is healing which is the most important thing, and my new body does look like an improvement from my previous body, so overall I would say things are headed in the right direction given my right hip is just swelling and not an over injection of fat.
