Butt implants after failed BBL

Hey y’all ! So it’s been about 1 year and 6 months since my surgery and I still love the results but want to go a little bigger. If I had to rate my overall experience it would be at strong 7 because I feel like the doctor could have gone a little bigger, regardless of his concerns about looking “cartoonish” it was still what I wanted and was safe enough to do so, especially after being disappointing from my first BBL a year prior to these implants. Nonetheless, another issue I’m still having is a noticeable indent from the implants. I’m not sure if that’s from the implant rotating, or him using too small of an impant which is why it’s not covering my entire cheek, still not 100% sure. My recovery time was waaaay harder than the BBL process and I wasn’t able to dance until about 6 weeks. The recovery time is literally no joke. I will probably go to a different doctor for a super charged BBL, or if I can gain enough wait I’ll do a regular BBL and mainly focus on my hips and that small indent area so it can look even, because some of the angels look a little crazy, and I’m gonna post them. Still, I’m just happy to not be flat as a board anymore lmaoo. C ya xoxo

Did your incision break nicely after using the nitrate silver sticks? Any sensitivity or burning in that area? Could you please post pics showing how that healed? Thank you <3
November 17, 2022
That was supposed to say "Did it heal nicely" your incision.

Any issues with the pole after? I keep reading that you can displace the implants of you're not careful, which is the only thing stopping me. Also, any issues with them looking weird when you bend?
November 20, 2022
Yea when I bend or at certain angels it does look weird, which I’m hoping another BBL well work out. You can kinda see it in the pics I posted. But as far as the pole I have no issues at all

So, I’m finally sitting down again (kind of), it’s still kind of uncomfortable but I got a circle butt pillow instead of a BBL pillow and it’s been working wonders. It feels like I’m sitting on 2 balloons lol. There’s no pain at all, certain things/movements are just uncomfortable, not sure if that’ll go away eventually or just a new norm. It’s till pretty hard and I’m hoping it softens eventually but probably not for some months. I went back to the doctor about that wound I had at the top of my incision and it’s basically like a blister, so they’re treating it with nitrate silver sticks to slowly remove the dead skin, it’s applied 4 days out of the week. It’s really annoying because it’s so unattractive while dancing/working. It was most likely caused by keeping the tape on too long. But other than that I’m basically back to normal, finally! Still wish it was a little bigger lmao so I’m gonna wait for a year to see more final results before getting another surgery too quick. And BTW I posted a video dancing a little bit so you guys can see how it moves, it’s pretty stiff-ish lol but I have to make it work FOR work lol !

Honestly it is the perfect size now. If you go bigger it's gonna look cartoonish, but then again that's what your wish pics looked like. It looks great now!
July 11, 2021
Thank you! Idk why I'm not satisfied yet because that is very true so I'm going to wait a year to see the final results, but I'm already leaning towards a bigger size lol, or at least a bbl over this to add a little extra plump. I'm just fixated idk lmaooo

Hi!! I thought Dr. Shifrin does the fat transfer with the butt implants. That's what I was told he would do. Did you just do the butt implants with no fat transfer?
July 12, 2021
Only the implants because I didn't have enough fat to make a noticeable difference if transferred. That's why my first BBL was a fail unfortunately

Can you post some updated photos please if possible?

Almost back to normal; weird scar

So all the pain from my sciatic nerve on the right side is gone, but now I have a sore-ish feeling in my left leg. It kind of feels like somethings twisted in there, it’s more uncomfortable than painful though, and I’m hoping that it’s just my body healing itself. The implants have dropped a lot and I understand why it’s called that because it literally feels like my butt is falling off my body lmaoo. My only concern now is that the top of my incision is slightly bubbled up and it hurts/burns throughout the day (the pic is kind of gross looking lol). I try showering and spraying it with anti-bacterial spray multiple times a day but it’s still irritated so idk if that’s normal. If it’s still bothering me Monday I’m going to call the nurse, other than that I’m loving the way it looks and can’t wait for it to soften up and hit the 4 week mark so I can start some summer activities !

That’s what I thought initially as well but it’s not. It eventually went away and didn’t leave any scarring :)
