A little update. I’m still wearing my lipo 2nd stage garment. I still have abdominal swelling and lower back swelling. I was told those areas would remain swollen the longest. It could be up to a year before all the swelling goes away. The summer heat and humidity have made the swelling worse. So it may look worse that it would otherwise be. Still happy with BBL results. I’m still waiting for my lipo results to finalize because right now it doesn’t look like I had liposuction done.
It seems like I may be developing capsular contracture. I Will update you on whether they will need to be re done.
I love the curves I now have thanks to Dr. J.
I’m so glad I chose him to perform my work.

18 Days PO

At about day 11 i was able to stop taking tylenol and still feel ok. At day 11, I still had to almost roll out of bed because my lipo incisions were still very sore and I didn’t want to put to much pressure on my arms due to my breast implants. I still felt a lot of swelling at night so I got up to walk around maybe about 3 times.
By day 14. I was having an easier time getting out of bed. I was able to bend more. Less soreness. Although i still felt like bending my legs made my thighs tense up. I had lipo between my thighs and a little bit on the outer thigh. My energy levels were still not normal. I could stand up for an hour and half but then i would feel very tired. So i would go back to lay down, alternating sides. I had been doing my breast massages since day 7 when i was cleared to do so at my check in. On day 13/14 , my boobs looked they had dropped a little and were starting to get softer. I have great cleavage already! I’ve never had any so I’m in love. Dr. J surpassed all my expectations!! I feel so confident already!
Can’t see my butt as much because of the garment and the foams. I have showered but I didn’t look at my butt. I guess I was a little nervous.
By day 18, the soreness is gone. No pain. I can finally bend down to my toes. My thigh and legs still don’t bend 100% like before but improved a lot. I noticed two of my lipo incisions had closed yet so I was instructed to apply neosporin on them and wear the foams and garments over them like usual. My three week check in is in 3 days. Hopefully i can stop wearing the foams and not need assistance putting them on.

How are you now?
I'm doing very well!! My swelling has gone down considerably and my body is taking on the hourglass shape I wanted :) stage 2 garment is next.
I have an appointment with Dr.J in Aug. I can’t wait!!!!
Are you happy with your BBL results? Was it worth doing both procedures together?
I am happy with my BBL. although i wish i had more fat to have gotten a bigger butt. but after the three weeks of not being able to sit on it, it's smooth sailing. For me it was worth doing both at the same time. But the recovery was long and sometimes unpleasant. Happy i did both.

I am now home. I am taking two tylenol pills for during the day. I take their prescribed pill at night to be able to sleep through any pain. The most pain i get now a days happens at night. Most likely because i swell the most then. I am still sore but I’m walking fine now and can bend over myself. I drove yesterday to Dr. J’s office to pick up a second garment and i hav to say it was a little difficult driving with the Butt lift pillow. I felt like it kept slipping and i had to sort of hold myself up with my arms.
Friday February 19 at 7:30am, was my 7 day check in appointment. the nurses took off all my bandages and garments for the big reveal. And guess what? I looked fantastic! I had a bit of swelling on my upper body. It was on my lower back towards the curve right above my butt. My butt looked big enough for me. I was ecstatic! I was so happy he had enough fat to work with to give me a plush new butt. My boobs looked awesome as well. The girls told me that They would drop and get softer and so would my butt. I’m guessing my butt will also round out more as the fat sets in these next few weeks. Dr. J came and examined me. He said i was doing fantastic, that everything was looking normal, and to come back in two weeks. I have to wear foams under my compression garments wherever i had liposuction done. I am also wearing their surgical bra for the first two weeks completely because it offers great support and i want them my boobs to heal the best they can. I can also lift my arms to wash my face but i don’t feel completely comfortable doing big hair routines just yet. Just low ponytails for now. I’ll update again here soon. I’m happy so far.
Also I will be starting up a blog soon in which i document in detail my experience. I will also post the address here when it’s up.

The blog would be awesome..that would be really helpful bc there isn't a lot of info on doing those procedures together..and I have a bunch of questions to ask you..so I really appreciate you telling us abt your experience
A few questions I have for you..
1. How bad is the pain? And does the ba or bbl hurt more?
2. Where did you get your ba incision? And did you go with the 310cc
3.Are you glad you did both procedures together now or do you wish you would have split them up?
4. Are you planning on posting any before and after pics?
5. Was dr j worth the $40k?
6. Is dr j going to post your story on his ig acc?
Super excited to hear back from you..thanks for always responding
