WORTH IT
Hi ladies- it’s been a while but honestly not much to post. Not sure I’ll post again unless something happens?? The negatives are definitely doing sit ups!! I can do them but it’s very uncomfortable and feels weird when you sit up in the full position. I haven’t done legs with a machine to where it focuses on that specific muscle yet. The best part is that my butt already looks round & perky that I don’t really need to and honestly I’m scared that internally it will trigger something so I just don’t do them. I know I would like/ need a bit more fat around my implants but I didn’t have much when I originally did my surgery and gaining weight is not my 1st choice cause it goes straight to my stomach first! I’ll just have to train harder??
I work out regularly and they don’t bother me at all! Sex.... everything is great, no issues ???? . The only thing I don’t like is when my partner holds my butt cheeks and spreads them too much! Sorry lol but I’m still sensitive in that area of how it looks from the scar tissue. Again, I got 400cc & 100cc fat on each and I think this size was great for me! I’m 5’7” and about 130lbs. I can’t think of anything else?? Life is just moving along!! Good luck to you all!! And don’t hesitate to ask any questions or pm me! XO

Can I ask what happened and how big were the old ones that you had them removed? an who did them?
November 2, 2017
Hi! Thank you :-)
Sure, they were 548cc with 350cc of fat on each. They were too big for me and my body rejected them. They shifted and eventually 1 implant ended up actually popping out of my skin from the bottom! It truly was a horrible experience. It was a Dr. in Chicago, can't really say who cause of legal issues. But Dr. Shifrin did my 2nd surgery and I am so grateful and happy i chose him!!!

DR. Cortes
November 3, 2017
Yes, me too. I could still use some scar revision but it's not a priority, it's for pure vanity down in you know what area! lol I haven't really seen or heard of Dr Cortez, but then again i have no business looking for a Dr. in Houston. I have seen a lot of Dr. Stanton's work. In my opinion, some are good and some not so good??? After much research, I was deciding on Dr.Grawe and Dr. Shifrin. I'm SO glad I picked Dr. Shifrin for several reasons!!!!! Best of luck to you!!!

I don't care where I have to travel too, I just want the best surgeon and I saw a couple great reviews with Dr. Cortes. I had Grawe in mind at one time but some some horrible results and i became very uncomfortable with that. It all depends on the individual too i believe . Well ill be keeping an eye on your updates. Thanks girl!
November 3, 2017
I hear ya!! Yes, continue to do your research on the dr.s and do what is best for you. My mistake was having it done with the 1st dr. i heard of and not taking my time to research! BIGGEST mistake ever! Completely my fault cause i just wanted the surgery done and was being impatient! Oh well.....I definitely paid for it! :-(
I'll be looking forward to hear who you choose!

Are you happy? I want remove it so bad i am waiting to finishing Pay my surgery so I can ou to remove it.
How long you had your butt done when you you removed it ? Just to have idea bcuz I have my implants for 2 years. I’m afraid how saggy will be
July 17, 2018
Hola!! Yes, I am very happy! I'm so sorry you are going thru this....I know how it is to be trapped in your body and feel miserable. But time will pass and so will this! I originally got my 1st surgery Dec. 31st and removed March 17th, around there, and yes mine was not too long but because of the size...once they were removed my skin was saggy. Sorry, i wish i could say differently. But on the positive side, your skin does eventually shrink, you just need to give it time, like a month or 2. After removal, my 2nd surgery was in Sept. Again, that was because i needed my open wound to fully heal. I know i've heard of girls just replacing them. I'm sure you can do that, if feasible? I don't think you have to wait to get new ones, if that's what you want or if you just want to completely remove them? I will post a pic soon to show how it looks now. I work out a lot so I feel that whatever fat was put in, which was not much to begin with, is gone. But i'm ok with it. I do feel self conscious still....not sure if that's ever going to go away? :-(

Hey love! Is your bum hard or Does it feel natural?
November 3, 2019
Hi Barbie- yes it looks and feels pretty natural unless you grab my butt, like cup it all the way to my skin? Then you can feel the implant.

So there is pretty much nothing new to post but everything has healed great! I can do everything I used to do in the past. I'm not limited to anything. I have not done legs at the gym but I will eventually try, I just don't feel comfortable putting so much pressure on those specific muscles yet. I feel that the size was perfect for my body. Don't get me wrong, we all get booty greedy and I probably wouldn't mind a little more back there but from where I was to where I am now I am grateful!! :)
Any questions let me know!
Wishing everyone luck on your journeys and happy healing! XO

I actually went smaller the second time around. The first time I had 548cc with 350cc of fat on each cheek and the second time around I got 400cc and 100cc of fat on each cheek. They are round and intramuscular.
My doctor was very cautious with my surgery and I definitely babied my booty for a while. :)
February 2, 2017
And after the removal.. how many week you couldn't sit on your butt
February 2, 2017
It's usually about 3 weeks.

Hello ladies - So time sure flies once you're back to normal, which I feel I am. I do pretty much everything that I did in the past. I believe they're both settled but my right side settled in differently than my left. I think I did mention that before so that has not changed. It doesn't look deformed or anything just a little tighter than the left. I run at the gym like I used to and it doesn't bother me at all . I have not done squats because I don't want to yet. I'm a bit paranoid about putting all the pressure in that area ????. The incision does not bother me at all, I posted a picture of it. There is only one position during sex that makes me very aware of the incision, other than that, sex is back to normal. Every now and then I still feel my nerve endings give me a little shock. I definitely feel that it got a bit smaller than it was in the beginning due to all the swelling. I'm still very happy with it because it looks very natural on my body. Let me know if you have any questions! Happy new year!!!
