BBL + Upper Arm Lipo W/Dr. Hughes. 27 Yrs, 5'2", 121 Lbs

Recovery is going well! I'm able to get up and walk around just fine. Slowly, but fine. My incisions drained a lot of blood yesterday and stopped around midnight, and I haven't really had any bleeding since. I covered the incisions with either gauze + tape or band aids. I had to walk a half mile to the pharmacy to pick up band aids, and that was fine. I feel surprisingly good for having had surgery just yesterday. My butt and hips are definitely tender and sore, but feel better when I'm laying on my stomach. I talked to him and he added 900 ccs to each buttock and 240 ccs to each hip. My shape already looks significantly better than yesterday, but I will probably wait a few days to post pics until my shape settles in at least a little more. I kind of hope the swelling doesn't go down too much in my hips and butt, I really like the shape and size it is right now!

Here are some before and after pics. I do like how flat my stomach is, and i think the lipo on my lower back looks good. But, I'm hoping my waist gets smaller (i assume theres still some swelling) so my waist -> hips transition looks a little sexier. i did tell dr. Hughes i want a natural transformation, not a dramatic transformation, and i think once my butt starts to look more normal ill definitely have that!! My pre surgery measurements were 34-27 (or sometimes 28!)-36, and I would love for them to read 34-24-36 (or 37 or whatever it ends up being with the larger butt (: ) Basically, I'm pretty happy so far because my stomach is flat and that was my top priority, but I hope the swelling goes down enough that my upper body looks tighter and my waist gets tinier, and I'm waiting for my butt to look more normal because right now its kind of a weird shape and is sitting kinda high lol. But I know thats just because its too soon to really judge the shape just yet.

Just wanted to add, I don't feel that swollen (as in no swelling on my fingers or face, which I remember some girls mentioning). He added 960 ccs to each side, and thats including the hips. My butt looks much larger than I want it right now, so I'm just hoping it goes down!
