2 years post butt lift with fat tranfer

I remain happy with my results & have no regrets about having this procedure- My scar is fully matured, thin & white. Over time, some of the fat that I had transferred has been reabsorbed - this is in my left hip area & presents itself as a small ' hip dip'.Fat reabsorbtion is not uncommon and I was made aware of this prior to my procedure. I have discussed this with Mrs. Kat( my surgeon), who is happy to treat the area of concern with a small revision. Hope that this helps anyone out there considering this procedure- I have included some recent pics X

1 Year post op -butt lift with fat transfer

A year on from my procedure I am happy still with the results. The fat transfer has added volume & projection to my bum in a natural looking way. My goal was not to achieve a 'big bubble butt '& my surgeon has delivered results that I am pleased with. I think a total of 500 cc fat was required for the transfer -( So 250 ccs for each butt cheek). Once the swelling & healing had subsided my bum did 'settle/ relax' and it is not as pert as it was immediately after the surgery, but this is to be expected- Also I am no spring chicken as I turn 50 next year so my skin quality is not that of a 20 year old! My surgeon has stream lined my hips / lateral thigh area which I really like- I had lipo around my lower back ( which contributed to fat transfer) & in conjunction with my TT that I had a year previously I think that the butt lift has worked well to transform my shape.
My thighs still have cellulite & some loose skin from previous lipo ( 3 yrs ago)- the butt lift does not address this -My surgeon gave me realistic expectation about this too. As stated previously though ,the butt lift does offer some improvement over the lateral thigh area. I have posted some up to date pics & pre butt lift pics for comparison too. I hope that this may be of help to anyone considering this procedure- Bye for now X

Nearly 6 months post BL

Hi everyone, so nearly 6 months has passed now since my surgery. My scar has been healing beautifully which is a blessing & to be totally honest I didn't really use the AVST oil that often. My ' new body shape' has been emerging over the last few months and I am really pleased with how things are shaping up- I have to be honest again though and state that now the operative swelling has subsided & that soft tissues are 'settling' I feel a bit more wobbly and lax in my bottom if you know what I mean! ?... that being said, I still do genuinely feel that this procedure has been worth it & have no regrets at all. With my healing I am still experiencing numbness in places, but it's no big deal- no pain at all it just feels a bit weird sometimes. I did put on a few pounds over Xmas ( not that I have weighed myself) - I can just tell by how my clothing fits! ...So I'm still working off the over indulgence with sensible eating & exercise. Xmas is always my splurge time! I still feel body confident though and love to wear clothes that I wouldn't have done prior to my TT & BL- I used to wear baggy clothing to hide my body but now I feel comfortable wearing outfits that are much more fitted and suited to my body shape & I love that I feel comfortable doing that.I have posted some more progress pics- hope everyone is doing great- Bye for now X
