2 Month Update: Honest Assessment
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.

6 Weeks Post-Op Today
untitled-prod-video-597629-id-82669
Well, today is my 6 weeks post op! It's been a long, emotional and tough journey, but it has absolutely been worth it. I'm allowed to sit with no pillow now and in two weeks can start resuming light gym work (but still another 6 weeks until I can do heavy glute training). I walk completely normally and can bend freely.
I sat a lot today, and although there were moments I needed a break and was lightly sore, I held up very well. I had a 5 hour hair appointment and brought my pillow for that, but then went to a 2 hour dinner and sat directly on not the best chairs and was still okay, although I did take a couple standing breaks. Each day is easier than the last.
Here are some thirst traps I took via snapchat and decided to share here as well.

It fluffed! Yay!
Monday will mark my five weeks post-op, and I'm so happy to say my butt finally dropped and fluffed! Around week 3-4 when I started sitting again my butt just went POOF lol. I cannot even describe the emotional rollercoaster of seeing the flatter, smaller result those first few weeks, then the relief and surprise when it suddenly enlarged so quickly.
I'm a lot more mobile now but certainly not 100%. Still walking a little funny but not too badly. No bending allowed still, I've been using my grabber for everything.
Anyways I love my new hourglass figure and round booty. Mentally I'm still adjusting to my new look - I still have small booty mentality lol. But in person I've been turning heads. Very happy with my result!
Pardon the dirty mirror pics! Even these $6 Walmart leggings look great now. I'm holding off on trying on thongs or super tight clothing until week 6 just to be extra mindful of my healing.
