Hello ladies (and maybe some gentlemen)I got my bbl on Wed. Oct 5 2011. I have been tired of worrying about how flat my booty looks in outfits since I enjoy wearing form-fitting clothing. I have seriously considered butt augmentation but scared of the assymetry risk and wondering how weird it would fee. I went to 2 consulations. Although I loved the first guys, friendly, gorgeous office, he told me he only likes to put in below 300cc. That was a NO-NO for me. I need my J-LO booty asap!

I hope the bbl is long-lasting. I really dont know if I can put up with a recovery like this again to have to go in for a second round in the future! I am hunched over straining just typing this.

Going into surgery was a breeze. I was hooked up to an IV and all of a sudden woke up to a nurse wrapping my arms. Coolest thing ever!

OH I got lipo on my arms too. That is very bad for recovery. My arms were in so much pain that I was like an earthworm trying to move around when laying down. It took me minutes to even get into bed. My 15 attempts to get comfortable on the couch always turned into screams for help because my face would sink into the cushions and I couldnt support my body to get up. Poor hubby had to look at me helplessly because any attempt to assist me caused me to scream in pain. The lipo'ed areas burn like crazy even with painkillers.

I am going into my 7th day of recovery. I am so so sick of sleeping on my stomach. I thought 3 weeks of no sitting would be ok. It sucks so so bad. I cant even watch a movie or get online comfortably without straining half of my body. I have been through a c-section and an episiotomy (butt cutt) but bbl recovery is the most annoying of all. Cant imagine when I get my tummy tuck and breasts done next year.

Today I finally took my girdle off. I have been baby-wipe bathing for fear of getting my drain wet. I almost fainted after seeing all my bruises and swelling. Hubby had to revive me with a Capri-Sun fast! But my butt looks pretty good! My hubby looked satisfied despite the rest of my body looked like it just tumbled out of a clothes dryer. He better like it because its for him!

Tomorrow is my one week post-op check-up. I cant wait to look awesome for my cruise vacation for Thanksgiving!

I updated my total cost to include lipo in both of my arms. Without the arm lipo it was over $9000 for the lipo of tummy, back, muffins, flanks, pelvic area, waist and transferring into my butt.
I got about 800 cc's into each cheek. During my consultation he advised he likes to put fat into the booty until it starts oozing back out. I was SOLD! I can tell he wants me to look sexy! 'er'....
Beware of your stitches. I felt some sharp annoying plastic stick out of my right bottom part of the girdle and thought it was part of a torn off tag. Gave my hubby tweezers, bent over, said 'Pull!' then said 'OWWWWW!!' oops it was my stitching. Good thing it didnt come out.
Post-op appt was today. Took off girdle and almost fainted again. Reality really sinks in when I am naked and look down. The bruising is traveling down to my inner knees, didnt know that can happen. Doc put more creamy antibiotic stuff on my wounds. He also pulled out my drain that was similar to a very long butt end of a ciggarette which was inside of me w/ the end sticking out! I rather not know much more about that drain.

For a week I would only sleep in 2 hour increments at a time before waking up due to discomfort. However last night I took Tylenol PM and that knocked me out for 9 hours yay!! Made me late to my appt though.

I also had my first outing today besides the Dr. Visit. Went to a restaurant with bar tables that way I can stand. It was ok for the first 30 minutes but after that my feet started hurting. Was an ok experience. I still walk like a grandma penguin. Strangers noticed :(
I highly recommend those travel U-shaped pillows btw! I took mine in the car ride and even sleep with it at night most of the time. You can rest your neck/chin in the curved part of the pillow. Works better with another semi-flat pillow underneath.
I will post more pics soon I just wish I would quit trying to pass out when I get naked.

How many CC's did the doc inject? I am going for my consult on Nov 17th. I have had a flat butt for ever and tired of it. Where all did they lipo from other than your arms?

October 12, 2011
My Doc injected around 800 cc's in each cheek. Lipo'ed from my stomach, waist, outer thighs, back, flanks, then I paid extra to lipo my arms.

Ur really funny! I like your writing style. Anywho about that booty..I hope that the healing process gets easier for you from here on out. My sx is in dec and the non sitting aspect is scary, especially since I am a student! Anyway best of luck and I hope you love your results!

Thank you thank you! I for sure underestimated the recovery. It may be easier if I lay on my sides but my hubs said I might flatten out my curves so I am holding off on any pressure on this new expensive booty.
Yikes school- you might be walking very very slow like 105 yr old woman slow and you might want to kneel down during class or explain to your teachers that you must have 'back surgery' and maybe take 2 weeks off. I am soooo glad my job gave me off. I work from home yet kneeling down was so annoying after just 5 minutes! Test it out. But may be if you are kneeling and observing- I have to type for work. I dont sit at all though even on a pillow.

G'Luck mate!

how many cc youve got?

800 each cheek. My doc already understands that us patients want to look like J-Lo and even referenced her in my consultation. Dont go for a doc who only wants to put under 500 each cheek unless you are already big and just want reshaping.

Today is 10 days post-op. Still home most of the time. My first day back at work was today and although my shift was only 1 hour where I was able to stand I still was so uncomfortable and agitated within 30 minutes of my shift. I have a 4 hour shift later today oh boy. Kneeling is straining as well.

I have a new dilemna and that is just basic walking. I feel like the Kool-Aid character when I walk. This butt is heavy! Like a backwards pregnancy. I get better everyday although I cant seem to last more than 45 minutes of walking still. Not sure if I just need more practice or wait until my swelling/bruising is gone.

This is a lil embarassing but I took my first shower today. All the other days I shampooed in the kitchen sink or gave myself wet towel baths. I was scared of getting too much water in this 'hole' above my butt where the drain was. It finally closed today so goodness the shower made me feel so revitalized.

I also am realizing that my arm lipo didnt include all that I thought it would. Seems like just the bottom side of my arms were lipo'ed when I thought it would include my arm pitt and bra strap according to the nurse at the consultation. Misunderstanding? Those areas seem untouched and I am a bit bummed since I was planning to not work out at all for my cruise trip. Yeah I'm lazy! But I'll ask the dr.'s office next week on my next post-op visit.

Just make sure you verify all of the lipo areas prior to the surgery day because you will be too drugged up to know what's going on after you take this sleepy pill an hour prior to arriving at the doc's office.

But Most importantly least my waist is now small, back curves in, and people have been tellin me I have a J-Lo booty is what really matters! This should be my last week of recovery. I cant wait to throw on my high heels and a bitty bitty dress to celebrate anything next weekend!

Oh and I am still using the same black garment w/ zippers n snaps but I slit the back part of the crotch a few inches because i felt my butt was too compressed when i slept. I bought a nude colored garmennt w/ hook closures but the way it was packaged wouldnt allow me to try it on. Mistake! it wouldnt even go past my hips although its a size M which i usually wear. I will update a new garment once i find one hopefully one with giant openings for each butt cheek
October 16, 2011
how long do you have to wear the garments?
User Avatar
October 16, 2011
up to 6 weeks on the garment. It helps so much with your lipo'ed areas. But I am going to purchase a more comfortable one with no leggings soon maybe a spanx one

You look great! The thong shot really shows your butt off well.

In the last pic (cute puppy!) what are the tongs for?

November 14, 2011
The tongs helped me pick stuff up off the floor. That was soooo hard to do the first few weeks!
User Avatar
October 20, 2011
Yeah I was wondering what the tongs were for too.
You look AMAZING! I wish you a speedy recovery. I was thinking of lipo of the arms but like you they're not big to begin with. And if you can please post more pics that would be awesome!
Thanks in advance!
