5 weeks postop

Really back to normal.. swelling has completely went down (my butt shrank) and the bottom has softened up. I still love the size and think it looks like a perfect round butt. I had problems with my incision opening but it looks like it is closing/closed back up mostly. I had a job interview in the city and was walking a lot in heels last week and I think that might be why it opened.. I also had problems with it being all red and itchy from my butt rubbing together and walking in the heat (haven't really been active nor outside). All in all, I'm pleased!

Sitting and driving

Not fun!! I drove for about 2 hours today and I was driving with one hand and the other hand holding myself up off the seat and alternating. Your ass will feel like it's going to pop... I thought that "you can sit at 3 weeks" meant it would feel fine haha I was wrong! Hopefully it gets easier the next few days. I still can't touch my toes. I think it may be worse for me since I had lipo under my thighs. I feel like sitting would have been a lot more comfortable had I not. Just happy my incisions still look good and there was no drainage :)

Overall rating

Dr. Shifrin has a very calm voice and way about him that makes you feel at ease during the process and before the procedure. Although I'm only 3 weeks postop, I am positive I made the right choice going with him. He's so sweet it makes me want to go back for more surgeries hahah. My butt looks great so far and I really like how the incisions look. I've read every butt implant review on Real Self and I've seen a lot of bad incisions but the way he does it it blends right in with your butt crack :) I feel like he is not out for money and genuinely cares about his patients and making them happy. I plan to get my breasts done in the next year and will go to him as well. With a surgery that has a lot of complications seen on this site, I am so glad I picked Dr. Shifrin-- I won't want to go to anyone else now.
