Forgot to add pics to my 4yr. Update :)
4yr pics. carrying more weight in the mid-section after weight fluctuation. I now weight the same as I did 6months post BBL but that’s life! Still very pleased! My body today does not compare to the before pics!
4 years later!
Hello all it’s been approximately 4yrs since my BBL! I wanted to post an update of my body as tomorrow I will be undergoing a mini tummy tuck. Please follow my journey on that which begins tomorrow morning :)
I wanted to share that there could not have been a better surgeon for my BBL than Dr. Shifrin. It’s been 4yrs. and I am still amazed with his work and how well my body has retained its shape. I will say that 2yrs following surgery I gained about 12-15lbs as a result of poor eating habits! While my weight was up I really didn’t get too much out of proportion (with the shape Shifrin gave me) I simply looked bloated and of course my face a bit cheeky. I’m back down to the weight I was after surgery in 2014. Although, I’m not as curvy as post-op my body is still contoured! My booty is still sitting nicely and I still have hips ;)
I love the end result of my booty, it looks great without clothing but I will say that I noticed my left cheek is a tiny bit fuller than my right. A few months following surgery I threw out a pair of jeans because I thought the inseam had a defect but in fact my ass was the defective one lol. It never really caught on at first. I think I was taken away by all the positive attention. I also never really observed my backside in the mirror long enough to detect how the jeans were sitting on it. It wasn’t until I started gaining weight that I started paying more attention to the way my body was changing :( then it hit me that my high wasted jeans were fitting tighter and pulling left lol I don’t blame Dr. Shifrin the body will absorb fat how it wants. It has however become an issue today. Keep reading to learn :)
4yrs later my mons came back to haunt me! It’s ridiculously fat and noticeable under tight clothing. I cannot adequately show off the round booty Shifrin gave me without worrying that I’ll also be showing off a bulge in the front lol. Im so sick of hiding it with long shirts and cross over purses that I am getting it cut off! Haha also I am sick of not being able to wear tiny shorts swimsuits without worrying how gross my droopy upper thighs are (from weight loss prior to BBL). Sooo....
I’m undergoing a mini tummy tuck to address the fullness of the pubic mound. (Please follow that journey!) I chose a different doctor based on his work in that area. I didn’t find any reviews from Dr. Shifrin addressing this issue or he would have been an option for sure! My hopes are that the mini tummy tuck will reduce the mons to a size that is not noticeable under tight clothing but also that by pulling up on the pubic mound some of my thigh laxity will also decrease.
When I mentioned to the surgeon that perhaps by pulling the pubic mound up it will also help address some of the thigh saggy-ness he agreed! However, instead of the shorter scar that I would need for the pubic lift (mini tummy tuck), it would need to be a wider scar to be able to lift those areas of the thigh. I’m quite amazed at this idea and in fact shocked that he didn’t encourage me to get a thigh lift- now I can’t believe my thighs will be lifted without a thigh lift! I don’t expect that they will be completely tightened but I am looking forward to even the tiniest change-because thigh lifts are expensive and slow healing!
You all we are not only killing two birds with one stone though. We are killing three because he’ll also be taking fat from my abdomen and making my right cheek fuller so that my jeans don’t pull one way lol. The End!
Please feel free to message me I will be off of work for an entire month and looking forward to providing support to anyone who may have questions!

Please excuse the mess I was putting outfits together and packing for my trip :)

Dr. Shifrin, what a GENIUS!!! I have read both positive/negative reviews from patients who visited other surgeons, that quite honestly I did not know what to expect or how my body would fare. Perhaps I unconsciously set my expectations low for fear of disappointment. Dr. Shifrin's work is surely amazing! I never realized my body would be capable of so much change! I am extremely impressed with my appearance and beyond satisfied with my results! Dr. Shifrin is one talented individual and a very affable person. What I find most appealing is Dr. Shifrin's honesty-you will not get the runaround! Thanks so much Dr. Shifrin! I wish you continued success! and GOD BLESS THOSE HANDS!!! Lol
