Update!!

WORTH IT$4,800
Hey everyone I hope everyone is well. I want to start off by saying after surgery YOU will loose a lot of weight. It happened to me which was AMAZING but after two years I gained 40 pounds which I have to loose , people tell me I LOOK GOOD i feel as though my stomach is not fat even though i gained massive weight. SURGERY IS NOT THE FIX KEEPING UP WITH IT IS!! Im in the works for round two. There's a lot of things I need done DURAN her self told me and my sister we need a couple of rounds. Im super EXCITED this is the BEST THING I HAVE DONE IN MY LIFE . TAKING TIME AND MONEY TO INVEST IN ME IS THE BEST THING A WOMAN CAN DO. YES I'M WRITING IT ALL IN CAPS BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK GOOD YOU FEEL GOOD (ON TOP OF THE WORLD AND NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU). DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE GOING UNDER THE KNIFE. BE CAREFUL, TAKE CARE OF YOU , YOUR BODY , YOUR SPIRIT AND BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TELL ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY BECAUSE THERE'S A FEW WHO CAN'T AFFORD OR EVEN HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO WHAT WE'RE ABOUT TO DO WHICH IS INVEST IN OUR SELF'S AND THEY WILL DISCOURAGE AND THROW NEGATIVITY YOUR WAY AND YOU DEFINITELY DON,T NEED THAT!!!! GOD BLESS AND TALK TO YOU SOON :)

I've been reading posts on rs bc I'm about 10 days post op and depressed that my butt won't keep it's shape. Your body looks really good though and I enjoyed reading your journey! How many cc's did she put in each butt cheek? And how long before you could sit on your but? I sat on my several times using a soft pillow but feel it's making my butt deflate lol. Gluck with your second round and keep us updated!
Hey I know that feeling. I got 540 cc each side. The truth is the less cc you get the more the fat survives. So don't worry. I think 650 cc made a good amount if difdernce. I see a good amount of improvement in mine but I am just always worried to loose it. I don't want to loose it. I have not sat at all. This is such a challenging recovery. Emotionally and physically.
Hey Kimster...no sitting on your butt for at least 2-3 weeks; that fat needs 10-14 days to stick in place. Use the boppy or bbl pillow to sit on your thighs, nooooo sitting on your butt girl; that's why the butt isn't holding its shape.
I sat and sometimes layed girl i tried not too but sometimes I just couldnt take it. Your ass will mold itself , what I mean by that is you'll loose some volume but for the most part you will definitely have ass left. I did not ask on cc's at all . I was told to go back for more work and I am. In my head I wanted a bigger ass so I knew that in order to get it i have to get another round. Please be content you made it alive , i was stressed in the beginning as well but your body is going to react differently some ppl hold the fat transfer well some dont. I hope this make you feel better. I was going crazy but guess what we as females are so hard on our selfs. I feel like my ass aint that big and people comment on it all the time. Love you I know you look awesome girl.
Love yourself****
When did you stop losing volume in your butt? I am 3 weeks post and wondering when it gets stable that you don't loose any more. Is the fat tranfer holding on
It depends , i did not focus too much on volume , i know a lot of people measure . I did not measure because I am going for round two . With you sitting down and laying on ur ass you'll loose a little volume but not so much that you'll be dissastified.
In the first month you loose volume due to swelling .
Ok thank you
U still look great, u maintained ure results really good!
Thank you so much . Its hard to maintain sometimes .
Thanks! I appreciate the advice ladies!

I love yout tummy. You have also proven that the tummy skin can retract without a tummy tuck and thats what i am trying to avoid. Duran did her thing
Thank you hun. Yes definitely . Everyone told me I needed one I didn't feel like I needed one. And I'm glad I didn't.
Im glad you didnt either. I just want the fat gone and the skin to retract some. I been told i needed one also not until i found Dr. Ortega he agreed i dont need one either. I had kids i want to look good not i got work done good
Cool. I'm glad you found a doctor that's willing to help you. You will look great . Make sure you take pics of what you want to look like so he has an idea . Good luck . You will look great :).
Thanks hun. I have so many wish pictures i narrowed it down to a few major wish pictures i really love
Great I did the same. Remember your body will have different results. Let me be a little more specific. I went in thinking I was going to come out with a huge booty . Although I love my results think realistic so you won't come out disappointed. I went in there calm and wishing everything went well and more importantly that I woke up . Pray and leave it in gods hands you'll look bomb trust me.
