Update Round 1 redo Senor Cabral! ... Still got booty! 2 years po

ORIGINAL POST

So I'm back on the Bbl train, never really seemed...

WORTH IT
So I'm back on the Bbl train, never really seemed to get off it...
I am currently planning Round 2 , which I don't feel is a Round 2 because round 1 my surgeon didn't use enough of my fat so once the swelling subsided there was minimal improvement.

So I feel like this is Round 1. Hope my blog goes on the BBL page instead of staying in the revision section. I'm not getting anything revised. Still on a quest to get a booty!

So I have been requesting quotes and researching doctors.
Initially I liked Dr. Cortez work in Texas and then thought about Dr. Salama in Miami. Then several Dr. Cortez's patients started to come forward about complications and deformities and I thought no thanks. One patient in particular had to get a section of her leg cut out because of a ravaging infection. Yikes!

Then I remembered all Dr. Salamas' cases of severe burns. And because I am on the leaner side of 154lbs, I worry about permanent burn scars from aggressive lipo. And I need aggressive lipo to get all the fat from my bra line, armpits and back and put it into my butt.

Plus I don't really wanna spend 10k because this is my second surgery and I have decided after I have kids, I'm going back in. I wanna be a mint condition mommy. So those two are out for me.

Then I was looking at them Fisher/ Hasan Vanity booties..... Yes, yes! They have been doing the damn thing. They have! Even on the smaller patients. But the Vanity reputations proceeds the results, so I don't know if I can overlook it. And they both use drains. I have dark scars from my rd 1 drain points and I really want to avoid drains, if I can.

But the real apprehension is I have PTbooty disorder. My first doc, didn't do it for me, and left me extra fat that could have , should have been used. And although I'm certain her technique is what didn't work for me, I'm still a little nervous that my booty doesn't want to retain added fat. Although it did retain what it got. I have seen several of her other patients had the same issue, so that some what puts me at ease. Known that it's her technique that my fat didn't respond too. But surgery, RECOVERY and just putting your life in someone's hand while sedated and unconscious is a big deal. So some days I think forget it. And other I'm like hell no, hell no. 1 little obstacle don't stop no show.

I have gotten the implant suggestion from several ppl and ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR ME! I'm not letting you cutting into my cheeks to replace a implant every few years. Plus you sit on them, higher risk of rupture. Higher risk of infection which can cause removal. And I prefer fat transfer because the idea of having your fat cells reprogrammed to be stored in a different area is enticing. My body current likes that abdomen and back to place fat, worst possible spot ever!

But I know the suggestions came from a good place ( kinda) cuz you wanna see me have booty and be happy. I think my key to happiness, is finding a surgeon who specializes in slim women, who can take the time to find, extract and process the fat PROPERLY, so that I get pure fat and and the highest chance or retention. I don't want the biggest booty. But a booty that I can see in jeans too, not just the tightest of tight dresses. AND a little bit of hips.

Some days I wake like yesss ! Let's get booty. Other days I'm like whatever. But since I cant stop thinking about one or the other, I need to have it done already! But I have to work on my anxiety about this issue and being confident about my decision to do it Again before I go into surgery. So Im considering having it done before Spring 2015! I need to be recovered before summer. No summer Faja for me!

Stay tuned.

Wow, your bbl journey was so beautifully articulated (I always appreciate well-written, thoughtful narratives. PTbooty disorder lol Ironically kinda a good thing your Rd 1 surgeon didn't use up all your fat so that you can potentially get the results your looking for from a surgeon with an effective technique

Thanks luv, I try. That is the silver lining in all of this.

Hahaha...I had to keep my eyes from wandering to the end of the post. The anticipation of which surgeon you were going to select was killing me...you left us hanging lol. I feel you on the never got off the BBL train. It's funny because I completed two rounds during the time that some Dolls were still planning and preparing for round 1. Anyway, I'm glad that I finally have the "attainable" results that I wanted and I'm done with BBLs, at least for several years. I feel like I can really get back in the gym now and get my body into shape. My hips were really discouraging before because they made me feel fat and less than sexy. Anyway, I am looking forward to sharing your journey with you. In my head we are friends lol. Good luck girl! Oh, I think I'm going to copy some of this for my update lol
December 17, 2014
Haaaa, you know I'm long winded... I kinda look at these blogs like journeys and write stuff got me tolook back at. I did leave y'all hanging, cuz I don't know who or when yet. I need to get on it though, be for a polar vortex comes through or something.
December 17, 2014
You damn sure weren't planning with them two rounds! At first I didnt see what you were saying with the hips, thought you looked fab. But then one set of pics went up and I was like ooooh I completely understand! And everything you wanted was attainable so I was down with your vision. I think it's important for us to have the things we want. Lmao on the done with BBL's for several years, I guess it's true once you get alittle upgrading there's always room for a little more. In my head were friends too, I was even thinking about coming to see you while you were recovering, lol but decided to mind my boundaries.

Ooh this is where you are! Good luck! Oh and I have researched Butt implants on and off for yrs long b4 I realize what a bbl was and had my mind set on it because I thought that was the only way to get a bigger butt - until I found this site. IF placed correctly they do not have to be replaced ever and they don't rupture. It's not really like breast implants. They are far more dense- no liquid. Anywhooo it's not for everyone... Why was I expecting the BIG reveal? LoL... Girl look carefully because you might just be searching for both of us lol
December 21, 2014
Lol, everybody like I found you. I'm not hiding just don't have anything left to say about re 1. Idk maybe the good butt implant surgery patients don't post cuz the too busy booty popping. Cus the majority of the recent ones up are horror stories. I looked on the butt augmentation forum and almost puked and cried at the same damn time. I have day time nightmares about this one woman's story. Def keeps me from ever thinking about anything mor risky... Everyone is expecting a big reveal. Lol. but that is like me, so I guess y'all truely picked up my personality. I laughing at the look carefully! So if/WHEN you have rd 2, you not going back to Duran. I do think she did the damn thing on you. Sometimes I think it better to have rd2 or revision with the dame doc. ( not in my case though) I think it's easier for that to revise and upgrade their work. But if I also be leave an EXPERT does rd2 or revisions flawlessly too. Idk, it's so hard doing this again.

Yea..I have read some of the stories..on that forum. Well the thing with my revision is...my main priority its the fix my depress or not so pronounced/rounded laterals and I am not confident she'll success. After they started going down I checked some of her vets to see if they had mentioned having this issue and sure enough I found a few that did-some mentioned bringing it to her attention and she offered to fix. Maybe I just overlooked this when I was researching b4 bc some of these blogs I had read pre-op.. I prob would have still gone to her but emphasized that I know her past patients had problems with their laterals and hips going down and ask her to "work a little harder" on that area. PLUS I NEED this ball under my chin gone! lol Chin lipo is a must. I agree that ideally the original surgeon is prob the best to do touch ups and small tweeks. If I just wanted more butt I wouldn't consider anyone else but .... this time since we don't have excess fat working with I need someone who can make the best of my 16 ounces lol and a higher rate of successful grafts in the laterals to make sure these laterals stay fatttt - they are my only hopes of having rounded hips. haha I am going to show her pics and point out my concern and hear what she says though. Hindsight is indeed 20/20 (your words lol)
December 21, 2014
Bwahahahahaha 16 ounces I can't breathe. We will roll into a consult with fat allocated, like I need you to put 7.235 ounces here, 4.125 ounces here and use the rest in a swooping motion everywhere else. Hilarious!

Haha..you had me laughing so hard just now my chest was hurting haha.... you know that's what we are thinking even if we don't say it. Funny I had a whole set of precise directive prepared and didn't even use it.. Prob that why I was in the operating room giving instructions hahaha... girl i'm dying over here laughing.
December 21, 2014
Yeah I was dying typing it, when I was pre op rd 1 I was almost certain I was gonna show up for surgery all marked marked up with black eyeliner pencil. Like just incase you need a little help.

Real self ,posted your second update to my feed and this one didn't even show,so weird. Anyways,great luck with your research and finding someone especially for you!

I understand your reservations. I felt the same way you did before I had my surgery. I kept thinking about it and thinking about it. Then finally I was like, forget it. You only live once, may as well be your happiest. Especially in your 30's. Its something about being in your 30's where you're just like "I want to be as fine as I can be", right? I was actually considering Dr. Hasan before I decided on Ghurani because to me, they did the most natural work. When I spoke to Ghurani the 1st time, he seemed a bit arrogant (he turned out to be nice in person though). But some lady died with Dr. Hasan although I hear it wasn't neglegence. My final decision came down to Ghurani because basically I found something wrong with pretty much all of the surgeons I research and he just seemed to be the lesser of all the evils who appeared to be able to give me what I wanted. Btw, the drains weren't so bad but I am having issues with hyper (raised) scars where the drain was. He also seems to specialize in working with smaller girls like us, which I loved. But I don't think you'll need to worry so much about your body rejecting fat. It sounds like you just weren't well taken care of by your 1st doctor and their staff in round one. I'd blame them and their technique. I have heard that lots of muscle mass will make it difficult for the fat to attach but I have muscle mass and thus far, I've been good. And so have a couple other girls who said they worked out a lot either in the past or present. So my guess is unless you were practically a body builder before your surgery, you'll be fine too. My hope is so you can finally have what you should've gotten from your 1st surgeon and put this accomplishment behind you. Also, did you take bromelain and use arnica gel for your bruises consistently? And as far as the scars, I've been taking several vitamins and its been helping a lot with my scars. Along with the silicone gel. I've got a website that talks a lot about different solutions for scars. I can find it for you and inbox it to you if you want. Its very informative.
December 23, 2014
I took bromelain, and arnica. I only took the bromelain for like 2 weeks. The arnica pills the whole bottle and some of a second, and I used the Arinica pomade. My drain scar has gotten better after the cortisone shot, I'm actually due for another. It think it's getting a little lighter too. I do believe it was her technique and I absolutely wanna get it done and be on to other stages of life. So I will make it happen. Gonna work on my nerves and this weight gain. Just a few pounds, I want some fat added to my laterals too. But I just saw Dr. Salama's patient she was 5'1 96lbs. Gained 15lbs for the bbl, to bring her to 111lbs she got a nice booty. It don't compete with yours but she got 1100 CC's. If they can get 1100 from her they should really get good meat from me! Either way it's def inspirational. And I havent lost hope yet, I don't go down that easily. Thanks for the encouragement I preciate it. Now where them booty pics, lol!

December 21, 2014
Love those wish pics,especially the nude one!! Girl,her booty is on point! I heard Contreras does do better with smaller women and women who dont need anything major cause his liposculpturing is on point. He could be a great option for you.
December 21, 2014
Hey beau! Yeah I know... I think RS only notifies you of updates to blogs you've commented on. So you should get them now. I think. But the nude yeah, she was tiny pre op too! Tiny. Can't remember her name but she's going for rd 2. I'm not fooling with any 1 hit wonder docs. No thanks! I need a 92% results success rate of better. And she's the only patient of his I've seen look this good. I haven't researched him either though... But from updates, I'll keep searching. Did you get my pm?
December 21, 2014
Nice wish pics. Shoot I wish I could eat ice cream and chocolate and lose weight! I don't know how much scar tissue I had but Dr. schulman was able to get a good amount of fat from me.
December 21, 2014
Girl it's terrible, I'm take my behind to Mickey D's and Burger King a couple times a week and that should do the trick... I think my other problem is I'm big boned. I look like weight but ppl are always surprised when I say no I weigh xyz. Currently just slightly overweight according to my doc but it doesn't look it.
December 21, 2014
You definitely don't look overweight. I think you look more on the slim size. Anyway I can't wait until you choose your PS. The suspense is killing me lol.
December 22, 2014
I know I told my doctor his scale was broken and he need a new one it said I was 157. He said you ok, you look fine... Lol. About this suspense. I'm think I may wait til after I add 5 lbs or so to decide. Just put me out of your mind for a little while. Lol.
December 22, 2014
Oh wow. I'm actually 157 at the moment but I easily fluctuate between 145 and 155. I gain and lose weight easily in that range. I can maintain 145 without too much difficulty with moderate exercise and a modest diet. I'm 5'5. Ok, I'll try to forget about it for now!
December 22, 2014
See, see now I'm hurt. I wouldnt mind 150-160 if I had all the curves you have and we are the same height. I swear you look tall and statuesque. Why am I 150 of a straight line. Where is the ice cream. I'm being cheated out if some curves.
December 22, 2014
Don't be hurt. I love your frame. My legs are long so that's why intend to look taller than I am. Also I carry a lot of my weight just beneath my waist to knee caps (my calves are struggling) Fortunately I carry it much better now with the help of surgery lol

December 21, 2014
Girt stop it! A " Porsha like" body is very attainable on you ( well i never took notice of the thighs). Depending on your choice of doc your current weight might be good enough for what you are aiming for.
December 21, 2014
For real! I love love love her body. On a recent episode she was in a swimsuit them thighs, that behind came Straight from the south. So far I have been told I have enough weight but you know the when you get there fears. After this I don't wanna see an or for years!

I have been struggling with this weight gain. Going from 154 to151 to 148. Last week started off bad. Really bad. I was in a funk and things were just coming at me at once. It's very hard for me to eat when I'm stressed or being lazy. The only thing I usually have an appetite for is junk and since I can't eat 3k or 4k calories of it a day, its not helping me gain or keep on weight.

At one point I was so desperate, I started adding protein powder to ice cream. Not the best taste and my stomach didn't like it too much. It's a real battle with the scale, some days are good, other days are like wth? This is the heaviest I have been my entire life and my body is conditioned to staying in a certain range and to it fight weight. Which is usually a good thing, but not right now.

Towards the middle of the week, the funk started to lift, I got better about eating and right now I'm between 154-156. Which doesn't look much different on me, my weight kind distributes evenly. When I sit my stomach is projectile. Which I absolutely hate. I want an inverted lower belly. I'm gonna push and see where I end up in the next two weeks and then try and maintain that weight. Mama need a booty and some more lateral meat.

I pm'd you.
January 12, 2015
Girl I wish I had your problem with weight gain. I hope this weight sticks with you this time since your body seems to burn it off. Nuts are pretty calorie dense and easy to carry around if you aren't trying that already.
January 12, 2015
I know. I have been forcing at least 3 square meals plus junk food. I have ha peanut butter on HEAVY rotation, I'm almost certain that's what's doing it... But I have room to add more foods to the rotation.
