I bet you're getting nervous! You will do fine.

February 2, 2018
it's all I think about! I have a 7 month old so I'm hoping after a week I can care for him. my three sisters are staying with me for a week.

February 2, 2018
how long was your surgery? would you say you're in more pain now opposed to our first bbl?

February 2, 2018
That's good. You will definitely need their help because you won't be able to pick him up or drive.

February 2, 2018
1st surgery 4 hours, 2nd surgery 3.5 hours. More pain this time because i had my thighs lipoed.

February 2, 2018
did your dr. have you take any medication before surgery or the day of surgery?



February 24, 2018
hi noticed you mentioned having a 2nd bbl? was it due to a revision? this is my biggest fear which is why I’m having such a frustrating time deciding on a surgeon.

February 24, 2018
Yes, round 2 was more like a necessity. One hip went completely fat. I had no other choice.
February 4, 2018
will you be getting any post surgery massages?

February 4, 2018
yes girl I've been looking in my area for weeks now. I'm in Raleigh NC. How many is necessary?

February 19, 2018
hi love! how long did it take Before you saw the most reduction in your stomach?

February 19, 2018
I wore my compression garment 6 weeks my first BBL and 3 weeks my 2nd BBL. I noticed my stomach reduction immediately.

How do I drive ???
Ladies!!! I'm almost one week post op (tomorrow) and I need to drive my daughter back and forth to dance practice. With the bbl pillow, my butt still touch the seat a little. Is this normal or what did you use? I'm trying my best to stay off my butt but I'm a busy mom and I have a 7 month old as well

hope surgery went well!! mine was good!! still in search of massages in Charlotte

February 19, 2018
yes love surgery went well! I'm back to normal as far as everyday life. how are you doing?
February 20, 2018
I’m good! everything went well. haven’t started driving yet tho. but I will soon.

February 19, 2018
My butt touched the seat a tad too. It's ok just make sure the pillow is well under your thighs. Also you can place a pillow behind your back which will make yiu lean forward.

February 19, 2018
I tried that and it does work better thank you! I still feel awful when I drive could be a mind thing lol. when did you sit directly on your butt?

February 19, 2018
I didn't sit directly until 6 weeks and only for 15 minutes as it was too sore. By 8 weeks I was sitting fine. I didn't drive for 30 days. I was so paranoid the first time around.

February 19, 2018
How was your surgery? Are you happy? How much did he get out and put back in?

February 19, 2018
surgery went well! I had 800 ccs put back and the minimum out. he said I was very fibrous and some of the fat he couldn't use, I was sad about that bc I wanted 1000cc

February 19, 2018
800 is good though. Not all fat is good fat. Good thing he didn't inject bat fat because it wouldn't have lasted anyway. Some doctors overfill and it doesn't last.

February 19, 2018
true. I was surprised with all the fat I had but he was truthful. I want more Lipo in which I knew I would. I'm scheduling that surgery during my 6 weeks check up. hopefully I can do something with less own time Bc I'm out of vacation time at work now

September 17, 2025
Ladies now that it's been a while.......who do y'all refer for hip dips?
