Post-op - 3 years later!
WORTH IT$5,000
It's been a min y'all!1. I love my results but I made some mistakes along the way that I wish I would've known before doing the BBL.
2. The pain was HORRIBLE in the beginning so whoever tells you it's just "soreness" has lied to you!

Btw here are the hip dips I was talking about ... (pics) all post op 3yrs later!
So I mentioned in my other post that after 3 yrs post op and losing weight - my hip dips have come back - especially on my left side and that’s why I’m going for my round 2! So I figured I’d show what I’m talking about. Btwww I still look GREAT! I dont need more butt and I’m super happy with the way I look so if the surgeon tells me he can’t do it then whatever. But, I originally did the surgery because I wanted more hips and to know they’re decreasing and going back to normal - bothers me. So round 2 is the only option. I’ve been going to the gym for over 2 yrs and haven’t developed “hip muscles” so I have to go with fat instead lol.
Take a look at the pics and tell me what you think!

You look amazing, it’s really great to see and hear the good and the ugly part of post-op i can’t imagine. I’am doing mine in November I’m staying in the states but I’am also older than most getting this surgery and my thoughts are being in our country. This Covid19 has put the fear of life in me. I’am grateful to hear real experiences such as yours. I’m hoping i don’t chicken out i been contemplating fur 2yrs. I wish you lots of luck and prayers have a safe trip.

Plans for my ROUND 2 BBL
YUPPPPP I SAID IT! Round 2 y’all! This was super unexpected because I swore I would NEVER again. The pain was soooo unbearable at times the 1st time that I said I wouldn’t do it again, but I am! Why?
Well, because I lost too much damn weight and my hips are gone. My butt still looks great but my hips are completely gone to the point where you can see my hip dips again! :(
So round 2 will only consist of fat transfer from love handles/tummy to hips AND a breast lift! I wanted to do a breast lift during my 1st surgery but I opted out because I didn’t really like the way Dr Mora does Boobs! I decided to go with my sister’s breast lift surgeon Dr Nelson Rosario. He did a great job on her and he is also a reconstructive surgeon so I know he would do an amazing job w. Me! He also does BBLs but he does minimal work - Dr. Mora is better at the BBLs, but I don’t want to go to 2 different surgeons and get sedated for a 3rd time. I’m just letting Dr Nelson know I want all the fat to be transferred to my hips and to not leave one drop out! I know this time around what to ask for!
It’s sooo official that I already purchased my flight for June 21st 2020. I know I know, right in the middle of a pandemic. But honestly, I booked it for April 17 originally and it was cancelled because of COVID19 so now that flights are open and things are getting better - I’m taking the chance ! Mainly due to my job and being able to take the time off.
So y’all!! Wish me luck! I should be fine, but the more positive prayers the better ! I think I mentioned all I had to mention but if anyone has questions please let me know :)! I got you

Thank you soo much for following thru and giving us some real perspective! There are so many "reviews " on here with no post-op!
I love what you said and how honest you are. This is way more than just a physical journey.
Best of luck with your round 2.

it's waaaaay more than just physical! It does take a toll on you mentally - sometimes even financially. However, I like to be honest because when people go in with unrealistic expectations- they blame everyone else BUT themselves. Post Op reviews written a few years later, help out a lot because you get an idea on the long lasting affects after surgery. Thank you for your comment and your well wishes! Take Care :)!

I love to hear real life stories and what people have gone through. It really helps!! I am considering surgery for July. I was wondering what your BMI was for your first surgery? How tall are you and what was your weight before surgery? I'm 5'8 and 185. I feel like I need to gain about 10 more pounds to get the best results. I won't be at the recovery house. I will be recovering at home so that's one thing I'm nervous about.

Thank you for your comment love! So I don't really remember my exact BMI if I'm honest, however I was a lil over weight (height 5'1, 155lbs) I was considered over weight due to my height. I had a lot of upper body and and abdominal fat. I was not proportionate AT ALL (upside down pear shape LOL). My upper body was smaller than my lower and my hips were really indented (Hip dips). The doctor did really well! But once I lost the weight... I lost weight on my butt too. Especially because I went for a more natural look- he barely injected fat on my hips, and at first it was great, but now that I'm smaller its all gone! It's like my body absorbed it all. I suggest that you speak to the surgeon about how much "fat" you need to have to get the results YOU want. Simply because the scale doesn't tell you how much fat-- it literally just tells you your weight. So you might be 185lbs, BUT you might have a lot of muscle and so gaining more weight is needed. But if you're 185lbs with more FAT, then you should not gain more weight! Especially if you are planning on loosing weight After. Once you start losing weight your butt will too depending on where your body loses weight first. So for example... I tend to lose more weight in my lower body FIRST and THEN everywhere else. So i have to be careful to lose weight otherwise my results are going to change. But if you're the type to lose weight in your upper body first then you'd be better off than me (this is if you're planning on losing weight at all)- if you're not planning on it then you should be fine! If that makes sense. So you have to evaluate your situation, talk to your surgeon BEFORE gaining any more weight and always ask for more fat transfer than you think (not a lot more) but more than you think* because when you first get out of surgery your body is SWOLLEN (so it naturally looks bigger than you want) but once the swelling goes down and your body absorbs some of the fat that does not "Stick" then your butt will likely go down to the size that you originally wanted. UGHHH I wrote too much! I'm sorry, but I just want to help. After what happened to me, I want others to know. It's very important because you are spending SOO Much money and to end up having to not only spend more, but have to go through pain AGAIN (like I am) is really unwarranted. So i wish you the best for your surgery in July! If you have any more questions. Please let me know :)
