I have been watching stories on realself for over a year now. I had originally wanted just a BBL but once I met with the Dr., he suggested doing a tummy tuck because he said lipo would leave loose skin and I would not be happy with it. I am still undecided as to whether that huge scar is worth it. I really would like to wear a bikini again though, because I haven't since I was 16!!

Thank you so much for your response Natover. I already had my first appoint with him and I think he is wonderful. I talked with Jessica. I am waiting cuz I will have another appoint with PS Paul Zwiebel. I want to have at least 2 doctors appoint before to decide. Do you already have your date to get the surgery? Dr Slenkovith is very honest PS. I want to see how much is gonna be with Dr Zwiebel, cuz I already have the price from Dr. Slenkovich. I have 3 kids but my problems is that I am 5 tall and 117 pounds and I want to get the BBL and the mini TT. Keep me post if you will do it, so is me. I live in Littleton.

So I scheduled my surgery for June 7th with Dr. Slenkovich! I am so nervous! Excited but nervous! I looked at Dr.Zwiebel but he only had one bbl picture and I couldn't seem to find a doctor in Denver that had done plenty of bbls like the doctors in like FL

Just wanted to add that I just had a procedure with Dr. Nick three weeks ago and couldn't be happier. He and his staff have been amazing. My results are out of this world so far and I'm only 3 weeks out(pics in my profile). I had consulted with 8 PS's over the years and so glad that I found him. Good luck in your search and procedure, recovery! I'm a huge advocate for Dr. Slenkovich. Top notch all the way.

I feel the same! So happy with the staff and Dr.Nick! I will keep watching your progress too!

you look great, Do you think your butt grew after a couple of days or weeks? it looks much bigger that what it did originally, 1000cc's sound like a really good amount. was the Doctor able to tell you how many cc's he would be transferring into butt? I have a tummy tuck and a BBL scheduled for this coming Friday and i'm getting nervous. It looks like your recovery time wasn't too bad, how soon after did you feel better?
June 28, 2016
Hi!! Thank you :) Oh man I know that nervous feeling! I was nervous until they laid me on the table! I had no idea how many ccs he was going to transfer before the surgery, I just told him about what I wanted. My butt is still softening up. Hopefully by 6 weeks it will be closer to what i wanted. It is much better than it was a week after aurgery. I cried a lot and was very discouraged. You go through a lot of emotions after! It's a rough recovery, at least the 1st week because you need consistent help. I just went out this weekend with friends for the first time. Im not supposed to get my heart rate up too much still though. I'm numb all the way around still and I'm hoping that improves soon. It took about 2 weeks for my butt to start getting a bit bigger. It felt humongous right after the surgery but it definitely wasn't the shape that I wanted right after. Even the picture he took right after he transferred the fat is different than what it looks like once I went home. He did the BBL before he did the tummy tuck. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask, I hope everything goes really really well for you on Friday!! Make sure to keep us updated I will be looking forward to seeing your progress!!

thank you for replying, I really appreciate it. my Doctor has told me that he doesn't know how many cc's he will be transferring that he will determine that once he's doing the transfer, I just said to put in all he could, my butt is really really flat, so I need all the help I can get. but I'm getting the tummy tuck and the liposuction so I might as well have the BBL done. I've notice that some girls do the butt implants with the fat transfer and it looks like they get great results. I'm worried about all the help I will need, It's probably going to be so hard because we see ourselves as so independent, what do you suggest I buy for the after care. things I shouldn't be without? I've some of the videos on youtube but none of the girls explain what so many things are used for, we just assume what their for.

what did you do to help with the shape of your butt? I know that it's harder cause of the tummy tuck and the BBL at the same time.

Not to chime in on other's post :-) there are extensive posts and forums on RS with items to use before and after different procedures. Some are very detail and share what they are used for...
June 28, 2016
sorry, what are you using to help your incision not be raised? are you still using the girdle and how soon after did you start wearing it?

So the office gave me most of what I needed as far as meds go and the binder and garment. I have had to have a futon to sleep on. My friend had to bring it to my house from hers after they went out of town when I was 5 days p.o. I ordered a she wee for peeing since it hurts to sit down but I noticed that sitting forward facing the back of the toilet was so much easier. Don't stop taking your stool softner pills after you go the first time either.. I would say take them for the 1st week and a half/2 weeks because you don't wanna strain and it doesn't feel good to push! I lay with pillows under my legs, right under my crease between my butt and leg. I didn't really do anything special for my but shape. It's hard to when you have a TT too and can't lay on your tummy and on your side is not comfortable either. .not for me anyway. I was in the binder for the 1st week then I was put in the garment. I'm only 3weeks po today so I'm still in my garment. I can take it off to put a swim suit on for a cpl hours but try not to do it for much longer. I can't get in the pool but kids want to go swim every day and I was burning up with clothes and the garment on so I asked my doc.

You start taking them the day after surgery.
