The good the bad the ugly ????????

olls. I've been offline for a minute now between work and family life balance. Soooo here goes I'm 6tmths post and can honestly say I have been doing everything by the book. I even still wear my fajas daily. I didn't sit directly on my new butt until late May. I drove with one of those bbl pillows until about mid June lol (didn't want to take any chances losing volume) I workout regularly I cut bk on cardio BC I don't want to lose my curves. I eat clean until Saturdays n Sundays my cheat days. My measurements YTD 36-27-41 1/2
I'm aiming for a realistic 25in waist. Now on to the downside I know my mind is not playing tricks on me but my hips and butt has lost some volume. ???? so I'm thinking seriously about a round 2. I'm not sure if it'll be with Shifrin but I'm seriously thinking about getting one. Yes the pain was ridiculous and the healing process had me away from work for a while but I paid a lot of money for this procedure. I'm told revisions aren't that pricey either. My stomach is as flat as it was before I had my baby so no complaints there. I wasn't recommended any followup massages so I still do feel hard scar tissues in certain spots from not receiving any drainage massages. Which causes creases soon as I sit down causes slight rolls to form BC the tissues are like clay at this point. Am I good with my results ? I'm content. Could they be better? Absolutely. Most wish pics we save these chicks have had revisions as well. Another odd thing is I had only one follow up appointment with another doctor at his office ?? I'm not sure if thats the norm. I'll be sure to update with pics.

1 month PO

Okay so here goes. I know I've been totally mia. But I have a great explanation, this healing process is No Joke!!! Thank you to the dolls that were checking in on me . I thought I would be up in running after a few days babyyyy was I wrong! This surgery has put so much of my life on hold. I.e. work,social life,traveling, overall anything else you could possibly imagine. The pain has just really started to subside ikr after 1month. I have lost some volume :( I'm not thrilled at all about that especially after all of the pain I've endured. I haven't sat on my butt yet I just ordered a BBL pillow which I drive with. They say its portable , I say no ma'am I will not be toting that thing with me everywhere I go. I'll just have to miss out on a few more events trips etc... until the fear of fat absorption is gone and I feel im okay to sit on it. Everyone says something different 2 weeks 3weeks 6weeks im shooting for 2months but we'll see. This whole no sitting bs is driving me nuts. When im home all I do is lay on my stomach my neck is effed up!
Any suggestions ? Bc im over it. I went to my friend's house the other day stood for damn near an hour I know that's ridic. I stand at work as well I have a stiff pulling pain in my back . I try to give myself massages with an electric massager I notice some hard areas in my back and stomach so I try to put more pressure in those areas. My results: overall I don't feel my results are perfect , there are some areas that could have had more fat added in my opinion. My stomach areas have a few dents even with me wearing my garments. Which is a life saver bc it helps soothe swelling. One week po My booty measured 44" I'm now about 41 1/2". He did snatch my back fat for the most part its a big difference there. My waistline is coming along as well too. Would I consider a revision ? Not likely but we will see what these next few months look like. Pics soon

recovery house chef AKA my mama

my mom has been here every step of the way. She's done all of my meal prep(no fried food low to no carbs) as well as making sure my place stays tidy. ladies please trust me when I say you can not do this alone. If I didn't have help I would have literally had a nervous breakdown. This recovery is no cake walk. Getting out of bed is the worst. Although I am doing a little better as I stated a few days ago I would not ever do a Round 2!!!!!! The key is walking through out the day. Does anyone have any tips for ab soreness? What should I be doing to subside the ab tension?
