Final final - my review has gone back and forth. Dr Buford asked me to change my review after I posted how I wasn’t happy with results 7+ months out. He put the implants above the muscle, just under the fascia. Not ideal for the heavy weight/material...as simply the skin will be left to support (which stretches easily).
I have huge indentations and visible outlines of the implants on both sides. This is visible even while wearing leggings. My pictures don’t show as swelling lasts many months and I was careful of the angle.
I consider myself deformed and even after this time have an issue with intimacy and being touch. There is literally a “shelf” on my outer butt cheeks
Dr Buford is a nice man personally and I do think he tried his best and truly cares.

Turn around for the BETTER
Throwawayaccount1July 18, 2016
Things have improved all around quite a bit. In the last 6 months, I have regained weight that I lost after my surgery and my implants have settled into place.
I no longer feel them moving or have any paid whatsoever. I am even back to running and exercising again, without discomfort! The implants look and feel great...my weight gained has helped "pad" any indication of the edges that I could see previously.
In the end, I lost 12Lbs after my surgery (I think recovery and summertime) and have since gained 8Lbs back. The liposuction results are still great, even though I gained back weight! In fact, I would deem Dr. Burford an expert in Lipo...he sculpted my waistline perfectly.
Now, that my implants look and feel good...I fill out clothes and am much more proportionate.
I'm super happy with the FINAL FINAL results.
PHEW!! I went through anxiety for a few months...but that was pretty much the "rock bottom" and then after December things really turned around. At 12 months, I would say I was very happy and at 15 months, am confident that I now am experiencing the final results. YEAH!!!
THANK YOU DR. BUFORD AND HIS PATIENT, CARING STAFFF!!

Hi. Thank you so much for your honesty. I am also from Denver and am 5 months post op and still in pain and dealing with exactly the same issues as you did. I was ready to give up and remove my implants but now have hope that things could work out. I am a runner and miss my running every day. If you have time I would really appreciate it if I don't want to put my phone number here fo everyone to see. Not sure how I could just send it to you. Thank you. Your help and insight would be much appreciated.

Jogging/running is nixed...
Throwawayaccount1November 2, 2015
Well, I've officially eliminated running, or even light jogs. I can feel the implants "bounce"....it would be like jogging without a jog bra. The bouncing probably will contribute more towards sagging and stretching the fascia pocket that's holding the implant in place.
In addition...no more hiking...Unless I can solely go up...going downhill also stresses the fascia with the implant weight.
I have found a medical reference book, geared towards the medical community, that actually warns against gluteal implants placed in subfascia.
My results are officially textbook :-(
Sorry for the down attitude...but I'm making a point to post details to also help anyone considering this surgery with making an informed decision. I feel like Dr's downplay the online sharing community, as "they are the experts". They may have some expertise...but keep in mind, they are a business seeking to profit. Even high ethics standards does not negate their simple sales tactics of presenting "one way" or upsetting their own services and experience....

I'm sorry to read that you are not very happy with your results and that you have to limit your physical activity. I did want to let you know that regular butts jiggle and bounce when running too. A lot of women prefer the Brazilian butt lift for the very reason you want to have your implants revised. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I hope you can find a doctor that is willing to give you a more honest opinion and option to help boost your confidence as well as fix the issues you are having. Best of luck and thank you for sharing your story so others can feel more informed about their decisions.
