Today is my BBL day!

Hi everyone so surgery is done and so thankful that nothing bad happened. PTL!! So during my markups Dr Shifrin didn’t really ask what I wanted, he just kinda marked me up, I wish I had been a little more vocal about what I wanted but he said I have a smaller frame and will make my booty nice and plump for my frame! As soon as I woke up from the surgery the nurse asked if she wanted me to call my boyfriend. I said yes and fell asleep again. I woke up again to my boyfriends voice and IMMEDIATELY started sobbing. I was scared bc I didn’t know where I was or how I got there, pain, and freaking freezing. I cried a good 2-3 minutes and was soooo relieved that my bf was there. At first being cold was worse than the pain plus I had to pee so I was just an unhappy camper. I went back in the OR around 1 and I woke up at 5:30ish. The nurse helped me sit on the side of the bed and as soon as I got up a POOL of blood came out of my back and butt incisions. I was so wet everywhere omg. The nurse helped put my pants and shirt in on then I walked to the bathroom to pee. I honestly think squating/peeing isn’t bad for me because I didn’t get thigh lips. Literally props to the ppl who get thigh lipo, I feel for y’all!!! As I got up from the wheel chair to the car my face was so pale and I definitely felt woozy. The car ride was very uncomfortable to say the least. I got home and laid down multiple pads because you will drain A LOT the first few hours. I definitely recommend getting those back rest pillows If you get arm lipo like me. The first few times I needed help getting up and once felt nauseous when I took my arm band off for a second because my arm was swelling soooo much. Laying down and water helped. I’ve only been wearing a huge tshirt and no undies but keeping a pad over my butt then my blanket. Your incisions are open to drain and around midnight I just put small bandages on them to help keep out bacteria. Ok so getting to specifics:
Bathroom: take a colace or any stool softener right as you get home, don’t wait till the next day or you will be constipated ( I only did this bc I’m a nurse and use my nursing judgement). I’ve been gassy but no stool yet. Buy a female urinal!!! I don’t use it bc I can’t squat but because if I pee without it, my pee kinda goes near my incision site which is a huge part of getting an infection! I’ve been pressing the urinal hard so that not a single drop leaks. Pooping wise I’ve tried a few times and put a towel on the edge so my butt is lifted.
Pain: no pain but more intense soreness. Right now it’s my arms and belly and back when I move/get up. You gotta utilize your shoulders to lift yourself.
Bleeding: you will bleed... a lot. Right now I’m bleeding in the arms the most bc I use it the most. The bleeding in my back and stomach stopped.
Caregiver: YOU WILL NEED ONE. Especially someone you are comfortable with. I could not imagine doing this with someone I’m embarrassed to see naked/bleeding/peeing etc. you will have to grab you stuff endlessly and change you pads, hear you farting at all times of the day whether it’s 1pm or 5am.
Sleeping: you’ll make up every few hours from positioning so I’ve been sleeping maybe every 2-3 hours then stand/walk 5-10 mins then back to bed and fall asleep watching tv. Keep a small light on!
Size: so my size is perfect right now. Booty is plump and wait is snatched. I’m excited to see it during my post op appointment. However I wish this was the size it was AFTER swelling. I know it’ll shrink so kinda sad bc any smaller and I might think “dang should’ve gotten it bigger” but let’s see what happens in the following weeks!! No idea how much was put in yet. Plus now I can totally understand why girls want round 2 lol but still debating...

Hi everyone! Today is my BBL day! I have been following this site religiously (as I’m sure most of us) to prep for the day. My surgery is at 10:30am but been up since 5am due to my nerves. So far my interactions have been great with Dr. Shifrin. The only thing I didn’t like was that I didn’t get to see him during my pre-op appt. The offered to have him come in but I said it was okay. I do understand thought because I used to work in the OR and I know it’s only actually necessary to see the patient before the actual operation unless the patient has emergent questions beforehand. I will leave my “wish pics” here! I am wanting a pretty plump booty and also a dramatic hourglass figure. My starting weight is 160lbs (gain ~10lbs), 5’5 ft. I already have pretty nice curves naturally but I wanted to make my booty bigger! First 2 pics are my body and next 2 are wish pics. I am scared for the pain and overall discomfort. Also worried about how I’m not going to be able to stand at work! Anyways, will update once I’m out of surgery!
