$8,000
Today is post op day #3 and I'm starting to feel a little bit better. The day of my surgery i felt like i was going to die though. I was so nauseated and in so much pain. They gave me Zofran and Phenergan for nausea in the recovery room but i just kept throwing up. It was horrible. The day after was a tad bit better but i continued to have nausea and of course pain. Now, 3 days after the surgery, my pain is there but is much better, the doctor prescribed me Phenergan suppositories so those have been helping out with the nausea. I was finally able to take off my binder today to take a shower and boy was a bruised. Im still very swollen and it sucks to not be able to sit down or lay face up but i'm content with what i see so far. I'm not sure how much was injected in each buttock but I have a follow up appointment this Thursday so i will make sure to ask the doc. They did lipo to the upper and lower abdomen, flanks, lateral thighs, and bra line. I will be posting pics again in about 3 weeks.

Its been 2 weeks since my surgery and the pain is almost all gone. The only thing that is left is a few tender to touch spots throughout my lipo sites. I hate the binder but have to wear it for 2 more weeks before I'm freed from it. I'm still bruised but it is slowly going away. I went to my doctors appt and he said everything looked good. He injected 780cc into each buttock and said that is the max he was able to inject before he injected fat into one site and it would come out from another site. He ended up taking out almost 6,000cc of fat out. Wow! I was almost embarrassed of that but better out than in. So, my butt has gone down in size some but it is still better than what it was before, i just hope it doesn't go down a whole lot more. I was a bit skeptical of the results but then i told my husband to take pics of me 2 days ago and i compared them to the before pictures and there is a lot of difference from then and now so I'm content again. I will post after pics once all the bruising has gone away. Maybe in about a week.

They did lipo to the upper and lower abdomen, flanks, lateral thighs, and bra line. But i think he said that for the buttocks we would use the fat that he took out of my abdomen and flanks.

Well my dr. said that it would take 6 weeks for most of the swelling to go down and 3 months for the rest of the swelling to go down. Its been almost 2 months since i've had my surgery and i still feel just a little bit swollen. And there are parts that are still somewhat tender to touch.

Ugh! I was hoping sooner lol. Are you happy with the results? You look great. I just had mine done and I already want it to be a bit bigger.

Thanks, you also look great! I know what you mean though, i am content with the results but was wishing for a bigger perkier booty. Especially since i think my butt has gone down a little bit more since i took those last pics. I've even convinced myself that maybe my body wasn't made to have a big booty, i don't know:(

I think you were in the same position as me. We didn't have enough fat for the butt we wanted. I saw something about donor fat. I'm curious to know if we can take someone elses fat and transfer it into our butt. I'll ask in my 2 week check up. I know my butt is bigger than what I had before but I wanted bigger. I think my waist looks great and I know I'm still swollen so I'm hoping when I wait this out that when the swelling goes down I will love it. If not, I think I might have to get another.

Hi Dallas9575
I'm in on going on my 3rd week. I have been off my buttocks and wearing the garment. He injected 500 cc's in each cheek and they are still hard.
Dr. said to gently massage as I am doing so daily.
Are yours hard?
Will they soften?
When did you notice when they were softening?
Your response would be appreciated.
Thanks.

hey how you doing so far???
January 12, 2011
hey, i'm doing well. Soreness is almost completely gone but is still lingering in there. I'm happier with my booty now that i have set more realistic expectations towards myself. Plus i've gotten a few compliments from people that don't know i underwent this procedure about how good my booty looks. The only thing that bothers me is my stomach is not completely even. Its not supper noticeable but it still bothers me. I will be posting pics when i'm 3 months post op and then you can let me know if you see what i'm talking about. :)

hi, you look great!! i was just wondering, do you know how many total CC's you had combined from all the lipo and how many cc's were injected back into each cheek? I just had my surgery 1/24 and was wondering for comparison :) good luck with the rest of your recovery!
January 28, 2011
Thank you. I read your review and I'm glad your doing good. The doctor lipo'd 5800 cc out and injected 780cc into each butt cheek.
Welcome to RealSelf and thanks for sharing your experience and photos. You look great! Have you had much trouble avoiding sitting down?
Heh, that paints quite a picture. ;) At least it'll all be worth it in the end.
