Update....
Hey dolls, just a brief update. My butt is nice still the same size (no shrinking) and finally soft. My stomach is flat but still lumpy. I will need round 2 or liposculpture. I honestly believe the lumpy-ness is 100% my fault. Like some of it is fat that was left over, but I believe it's my fault also because toward the end of my healing I got lazy with wearing my garment. I started skipping days, and wearing tight clothes. Wearing jeans that squeeze around the waist caused like a permanent indentation that won't go away :( it's not that noticeable, but of course it's on my body so I notice it. LESSON LEARNED: do not get lazy. Be patient. And compression is very important.

You look awesome! And I learned a lot from your review. Thank you for taking the time to be so detailed. You're a trooper for that plane ride back though. I think that's what I'm most worried about

Just venting
I'm starting to feel a little depressed that my stomach isn't as flat as I want it to be and my waist is not as small as I thought. It's like my back and sides are constantly swollen. Idk what to do to make it better. I've been getting massages they don't seem to work much. I'm wearing my garment and foams 24/7. I'm just so swollen, I can't tell if I'm gaining weight in my stomach area again or what. I'm afraid if I go on a diet or start exercising too much I will lose volume in my butt (which is still nice) it's just hard to see the difference in my shape because I'm so lumpy and sorta square looking. :'( I hope I don't end up needing a revision

Hey...you are only 1 month out, you have to give it at least 3-6 months, every ones body is different, some exercise religiously before BBL/ab surgeries to have those muscles tight underneath to get a better result but for those of us that don't exercise post surgery, it will be all about the compression, ALL about the compression - I stress; you have to move in and out into the next garment that will still aid in your contouring. Make sure that stage 2 is a tighter one, if you were in a medium post surgery for your stage 1, grab that small garment as soon as you can for stage 2. Your muscles and body are still progressing, no need to beat yourself up in this short time. You are looking good. The swelling will subside in time and you will see that your waist was snatched.....

Believe me... It's swelling. I'm still swollen 2 months out. And PMS makes it way worse!!

I feel like I'm going to be swollen forever. And I am PMSing also so maybe that's why I feel even more swollen, bloated, and emotional lol. But I did want to ask you how have your massages been going? Do they help with swelling or make you feel any temporary relief in stiff or soreness? Because they do absolutely nothing for me and I'm ready to stop wasting my money

I wonder if I should go to someone else...my masseuse insists that lymphatic massages are not done with much pressure; but I often read on here that they hurt. Mine don't hurt at all so is that mean she's doing them well...or doing them wrong?? (Just asking your opinion)

Well I haven't had them yet but according to what I've read the massages are to help with the toxins and reduce the swelling not really a "massage" in the conventional way we think of it. I think you should try it. My friend had a bbl with Dr. Jamison is Atl and she swore by them and are you keeping your compression stuff on? Diet also plays a major role also

I had surgery with the same doctor who is wonderful but
I'm feeling the same exact way. I'm already thinking about a round two. I feel like gaining weight.
