Same Size I Was Before Surgery

$6,280
[ 1 Year & 3 Months Update ]

Measurements: 46DD-35-46 . My rear end is no bigger than what it was, before surgery. Just one side dimple, is filled in.

I finally figured out the bloating issue, I was having... My last post/question on RealSelf, honestly rubbed me the wrong way. Mainly because of the surgeon's judgmental response, saying it was a psychological issue; It definitely is not.

Due to overly aggressive liposuction, severe damage was done.

I did not have any drains placed, after liposuction. Which caused me to have seroma (fluid build up underneath the skin)... Due to damage to my lympthatic system, I also have water retention... On top of that, I have an excessive amount of scar tissue.

I am going to massage & add heat, to the area daily; to help restore my lympthatic system & to help break down the scar tissue. If things improve I will have photos, for the 1yr 6month update.

In the end, it wasn't worth it. Things most likely would have been different, if my work was done by someone else.

I'm sorry that the results are not what you paid for. I also live in Cleveland and I will be traveling to Florida for my BBL in Dec. the Dr's in this area don't do the volume of BBL procedures to be good at it. If you decide on a round two! Look at Dr Salama's work. God Bless
I would love to see your before and after pics I'm considering him as well.
Thanks for your feed back, you really have to go out of state.
Thank you for your post. I was considering Dr. Green for this procedure. I am also in Cleveland, but i have not seen any results from doctors in this are that i like. I did find a Dr in Columbus and i guess i will have to make the drive. Thank you for your honest review
May I ask who you found in Columbus? I am also in Cleveland and searching for a local doc with fabulous results.
I ended up going to Miami for my bbl. I went to Columbus for my other procedures
Who is the doctor you found in columbus
Same here...was thinking about Dr green but now I'm thinking about Roxanne in Columbus.
What doctor in columbus? I too was looking at Dr. Green but this review made me think twice. Dont mind making a drive.
What doc in miami?
Hi who is the doctor in Columbus
I ended up going to Miami, but if I had not of it would have been dr roxy

Same Size

Current weight: 205 ... Measurements: 44-34-46

(10 months after procedure) I am the same size I was, before gaining weight for surgery.

On good days: Most of the swelling subsides. Not as lumpy.

On bad days: Severe bloating occurs. Lumps feel harder.
(For some individual it take 1 to 2 years, to completely heal)

I am thankful my left indent being filled in. But, my right indent isn't; It looks odd.

16 Week Post-Op

I waited a while before making this post; giving my body enough time to settle and heal. The follow-up care with the surgeon is unsatisfactory. Not once did I receive a follow-up reminder and no one called to inform me that their numbers had change.

RESULTS...
I gained weight to get this procedure done & I'm just now starting to lose weight slowly to get back to my original size. I included pictures from the surgeons website of my before & after, which are false advertisement; The before photo, is accurate. My after photo, is not. Those are not the final results, that is a photo 3 days after surgery.

My measurements: (I'm still swollen in mid-section)
44DD-35-47

FEEDBACK...
I would of been better off not having the surgery done. Reasoning; my buttocks was already fairly big but now, my right side has a dent (where they ran out of fat) and my left side isn't as round as my right side.

OMG Im sorry you didn't get good enough results, specially after spending a lot of money. Im from Cleveland to, im wanting a BBL but im thinking I may have to travel a bit. Are you considering getting it again re-done? You have the same meausrments as me im 5,10 and my weight is 230 now though. So whats your plans now?
Thanks, But It's Not Your Fault Lol Play It Safe & Go To Someone Who Is Well Known For Doing This Procedure. Whenever I Get Pregnant In The Future, Afterwards I'll Get My Dimple Filled In On The Right Side. (Basically, Make Both Sides Match)
You should go back to Dr. green and indicate you are not happy. He has the reputation for being very caring and a perfectionist. I would not be surprised if he was willing to do something for little or no cost.
Your issue was not correctable with a bbl. From the number of dissatisfied women in this forum who've undergone a bbl only to see zero improvement, I'm thinking the procedure itself should be renamed so as to banish all confusion as to what it does, and doesn't do. The bbl is NOT a true butt lift. It's a volumizing technique that requires the recipient already be in good shape to begin with, as well as have the right proportions. Otherwise, it looks unnatural, and you just end up with a bigger butt on top of existing problem areas better addressed via liposuction and, or skin excision+ lift (aka an actual lower body lift).
I think you need to go to Alsnta or Miami they have all the experienced Dr
