It's now been over 6 months since my surgery. Time really does fly. It has definitely improved a lot in terms of projection and shape. I've also been in the gym doing booty-specific gym programs and eating a lot of protein which has made a major difference.

Overall I'm finally pretty happy. Reading reviews, a lot of people say their true result wasn't apparent until 6 months or more, but that's hard to grasp when you're 2-3 months in and still not happy yet while others on Realself are already looking fluffed. I guess everyone's body just heals at different rates and you have to be patient. The gym also makes a big difference.

Do I still think we could've gone a size bigger? Yes - but regardless I'm still happy with what I have. I can play my butt up or down based on how I want it to look that day. If I wear compression leggings (like DFYNE) it looks insane in the best way. Other pants, like jeans, play it down some if I'm with family for the day or whatever. Basically I can make it look as real or as fake as I want to based on the occasion.

I'll post another update down the line as I continue to build these glutes in the gym.

Just Over 3 Months Out

somechick99
Okay, so I'm over three months out at this point. I've been back at the gym for just under two weeks now - obviously not long enough to see gains but it feels great to be back. I REALLY lost my strength - I used to be able to hip thrust quite heavy and now I use baby weights for everything lmao and still get sore. But it is coming back quickly and I'm happy to say, my butt implants feel completely one with me now and do not interfere with my exercise one bit.

Here are some pics of how I'm looking. These shorts are quite flattering but regardless I have fluffed a bit more, and certain angles are looking a lot better. I still want another 1-2+ inches of projection which I'm hoping to achieve via the gym. I will keep you guys posted in the coming months.

Overall I feel completely back to normal however if a guy grabs my ass super hard it will feel sore for a day or so, and sometimes I still get brief waves of nerve regeneration in the implant and lipo areas. But it is no big deal at all. Sitting isn't an issue unless it's for hours on end (like long plane rides) and even then it's still manageable.

My liposuction looks amazing. My waist is noticeably more snatched - it took the full three months to settle into its final result. Even when I'm bloated my waist looks good. I definitely see a swoop from my back to my butt that I never had before, and it's more indented from the sides. The lipo is perfect and I'm very happy I added it on last minute.

**By more indented I'm referring to the sides of my waist, not my butt. I do NOT have the giveaway indents/outlines that some people get with butt implants!

2 Month Update: Honest Assessment

somechick99
Okay — now that I’m just over two months out, I feel ready to give my completely honest review. As you can see from my previous updates, this has been an emotional, up-and-down journey for me. I’ve attached a comparison photo here showing my before (275cc, left) and after (485cc rounds, right).

First, let me say: Dr. Mofid is a genuinely kind and responsive doctor. His bedside manner is excellent, and he has continued to answer questions and emails long after surgery. He also delivered a natural, harmonious result with safety as a clear priority — which is rare for this procedure.

That said, I do feel he overpromised and underdelivered on impact. From the beginning, he told me we could go as high as 655cc if I wanted. I didn’t choose that size, but hearing that it was an option gave me the impression we had a lot of room to work with. I expressed repeatedly that I wanted a dramatic, head-turning result — I’m an exotic dancer and influencer, so aesthetics are central to my work.

You can imagine my confusion when, post-op, I asked about the lack of projection and was told a 655cc jump would’ve been impossible — and that typically only a 50% increase is safe. We did hit 76%, which is great, but I really wish this had been explained more clearly before surgery. It makes no sense to me that 655cc was presented as a viable option, but then later I'm told that 485cc was pushing it as is.

While he is a great surgeon, I think he may have a been a mismatch for my specific goals. Dr. Mofid is known for subtle, natural-looking results. I should have factored that in more to my decision, but I thought that being very clear about my vision, combined with his confidence in the sizing possibilities, I would get what I wanted.

My results are beautiful — just not what I asked for.

I feel a lot of this could have been avoided with a more thorough pre-op sizing discussion. For example, I later found out there was a 460cc option that had less width but slightly more projection than the 485ccs I received. I’ve also learned that some surgeons can custom-order from Implantech. None of this was explained to me at the time.

In my earlier reviews, I was feeling optimistic because the fluffing had begun, and there are outfits and angles that really play up the results. But overall — factoring in the cost, downtime, lost income, and physical toll of recovery — it feels like a modest payoff. I had hoped this would be THE surgery to finally achieve my goal. Instead, I’m left wondering if I’ll have to do this again someday, or just accept that the “Insta baddie” look may never happen for me.

To be fair, I still can’t work out my glutes for another month, so I plan to give it a full 6 months of gym time before deciding anything further. But even close friends and family — my mom and aunt included — have said the results are “pretty” but more subtle than expected. When your own mom says it… you know it’s not just in your head, lol.

So once again, this isn’t me throwing shade on Dr. Mofid. He’s safe, experienced, and a caring person. If you’re looking for a natural enhancement, he’s a great choice. But if your goals lean more toward a highly sculpted, dramatic aesthetic — especially if you work in industries such as mine — I would say to consult someone who specializes in that look.

I intentionally included pics in the collage with both flattering angles/posing (like the red thong picture) and more unposed so you can see how sometimes it looks more dramatic and others it just looks slightly fuller than before
