Hey ladies, I'm sorry I've been MIA but I wanted to give a quick update:
-I never did go in for another follow up because I wasn't having complications but I would if something arose
-I don't think my butt has not gotten smaller nor bigger (I REALLY wish I had been consistent with photos and measuring)
-I have put on a couple pounds in my midsection which I'm working on getting rid of now
- The lymphatic fluid buildup was completely gone about a month ago
- No residual pain in the injection or lipo spots
-I still wear the garment every now and again (please don't be like me, wear it immediately and ALL the time!)
-The lipo spots did leave marks but I am working on getting rid of them with bio oil and mederma
- My overall opinion hasn't changed, I am definitely happy with the overall contouring BUT I wish I had gone bigger
Would I get the procedure again? Yes
Would I go back to Dr. Shifrin? Only if his price was lower

One month update
Hey guys, I was in a pretty bad accident a few weeks ago and hadn't been able to see Dr. Shifrin or post anything. I'm fine but it definitely did not help the soreness in my back.
When I wear my garment, I can last about 8 hours before I start feeling the soreness and swelling. I don't usually sleep in it but I will wear a girdle or waist trainer.
I bumped my butt and have a bruise on it and I feel like that spot is flatter because of fat cell death. I really wish that I consistently measured myself, but I do think my butt has gotten smaller, which is expected with absorption. Overall, I'm still happy with the contouring of my body.
I will post some more pics soon. I'm planning to start exercising and doing my squats again this week
*Tip: don't forget to work on your arms so the overall new contoured look of your body will be more believable.

At work I use a neck pillow like the ones you use when traveling to sit on and a small square/rectangular pillow behind my back

Oh and the seem less garment I got is called Vedette Stephanie, not Leonisa.

Last pic for a while
Unless I have an issue, I won't be posting anymore until the 1 month and 3 month marks.
In this pic, you can see I still have a little swelling in my lower abdomen and some knotting on my sides of lymphatic buildup. I actually slept in my waist trainer last night as well.
Overall, I am happy with the contouring of my body. I have a much better shape, one that no amount of exercise and dieting could produce lbvs. My butt is no longer flat but I admit I wish I had more projection, especially from the side view.
If you are debating who to go to, I just want to say that you will definitely see a nice and natural improvement with Dr. Shifrin. If you are a woman, like many of us Black and Latina women, and you want a big, video vixen bubble butt, then I don't think he will be the best fit for you.
Good luck and be safe dolls :-)

Did you voice to him that you wanted a bubble butt?
April 29, 2016
I ask because I wondered why no one in Chicago do the vixen butts, is it that they didn't ask because if you ask you're suppose to get what you ask and pay for.
April 29, 2016
Yes, I actually told him and the other surgeon that I wanted a dramatic change with as much volume as possible. I bought in photos from Dr. Miami and Dr. Curves as well before I gave them my payment because I needed to reiterate that if what I was looking for was unrealistic for him then I would pursue other options...I really believe that certain doctors have certain preferences on how they operate.
April 29, 2016
Oh. That's not right, they should have told you to look else where. You're paying for it so they should abide by your rules. I guess just money greed!
April 29, 2016
I totally agree, I think it's an issue of "taste". I will definitely be going over this with him but I know most surgeons won't take your issues in appearance seriously until at least the 3 month mark. I know tons of ladies who want a vixen booty in the Midwest. I feel like the surgeons up here are missing out on millions of dollars every year with potential patients.
April 29, 2016
Exactly!!! you still look great but you know exactly what you want to make you feel how you want and I hope u get it. I'm glad I changed my mind on him. Now I have to do my search all over again. I'm not going to the DR, don't have that kind of time. I hope you get that bubble butt girl!! Happy healing!
April 29, 2016
Its still early in your process, I was told from another shifrin doll that she is still getting fluffier although its been almost a year later, I think the Midwest doctors play it "safe" and give more natural looking butts than the other coast or overseas doctors but you look great and give it some more time
April 29, 2016
I'm glad to hear that because I already have my squat regime ready for when I can exercise again lbvs. For me, the proximity was most important factor (aside from credentials), they don't even perform this procedure in WI and I really need to be as close to my home, doctors and my small support system as possible.
April 29, 2016
Yes better to be safe on all levels I've been reading on utube that some doctors prefer the but out garments to keep from damaging the fat grafting, some prefer butt un just to keepbyou from swelling so much but it doesn't necessarily give you any more shape it just holds your butt, but the waist garment is very important to pull your skin back together and smooth you out after lipo, I think each person has use their iwn judgement of what works
April 29, 2016
A lot of this women get round 2 n 3 also to get the dramatic results as well and once the fat they inject in your butt starts ooozing back out that means your butt has reached its capacity and there is no more room or your skin has stretched to capacity, but he should explain and be upfront of what he thinks a person will or won't look like.
April 29, 2016
Yeah they did say women go multiple times but I just can't see myself going through this again because the money, time and discomfort are pretty big sacrifices.
April 29, 2016
Yes I can't see going for more rounds especially at my age of 51 Im going June 16 th and hopefully I'll be satisfied

What i have noticed is that Dr. Shifrin does not inject it in enough places on the butt. He only does 3 injections when i have seen Dr. Jamerson and Dr. Miami inject in more places. Dr. Shifrin needs to inject in the middle as well as the hip area so he needs like 6 to 8 injection points and he only does 3 Women will never get the bubble butt from 3 injection sites. I have a consult with him in july i will go so i dont be charged for missing the appt but i will pass on him doing my butt because i refuse to go through that pain and not get what i want. I see i have to go to Miami to see Dr. Miami or Atlanta to see Dr. Jamerson. You take care of yourself and work with what you got. When your able to work out start squats and lunges to see if that will help with the projection.
April 30, 2016
I have been stalking utube to see the other doctors techniques and have noticed that somewhat but some of the ones that do just 3 points, also had good results, but may not be visible right away as the oned with more injection sites
April 30, 2016
I also think that Dr. Shifrin does not work the fat around and mold the butt because i have seen Dr's inject it but they work it wirh their hands hell i saw one use his arm to make sure it was distributed all around the butt. M_86 how much did he say he injected into each cheek?
April 30, 2016
Becasue my butt is flat in the middle and at the bottom amd thats where i need the fat the most is in the middle and the bottom. M_86 i think when u go back to him you should let him know how you feel because thats your butt and your money you paid.
April 30, 2016
Very honest post! That is why after consultation and inconsistent answers from him and his staff I opted to go to another dr. I want a big butt and tiny waist. Unfortunately after meeting him and seeing his before/after photos I knew he couldn't deliver what I'm Looking for.
Good luck with your recovery here on out!! The pictures you posted yesterday look great!
May 1, 2016
I appreciate that:) I wanted to be honest through this whole process because it is overwhelming.
