Update

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

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!!

Jogging/running is nixed...

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....

If I could add stars for "Bedside Manner" AND "Aftercare Follow Up"...I would give 10++ stars! Dr. Burford turns out to be the most professional, patient and knowledgeable Doctor I've ever dealt with. My body went through a massive transformation from this surgery....swelling, then weightloss...and a year + later, I'm ecstatic with my results. Maybe since I'm a little older, so my recovery was more drawn out and extreme? But I went through a period when I was extremely upset and unhappy with the implants. After voicing my concerns, both straightforward and passive aggressively....Dr. Burford responded immediately. He spent more time addressing each concern and presented solutions as well as encouragement the entire time. He was always patient...even when I wasn't always rational. After my "unhappy" period of recovery, I gained some weight back and my results look great. I would absolutely recommend him again...warning ladies...this is a surgery that takes at least a year to achieve final results :-)
