39 Y/o Getting Ready for my "Fab at 40" BBL Procedure

Sorry, but nothing new to report. I have started this week wearing a waist trainer during the day, and my garment at night, so that I have something on at all times. I still have no changes since 2 days post op. I don't think this is swelling at all. I am about 7 week post op, and most of all the swelling should be gone by now. My stomach is smaller than before the surgery, but not a huge difference. My butt does look better, but the main purpose of having this done was for the lipo. I only did the fat transfer to the butt because there was only a small charge for it. This was my biggest FEAR. Paying all of this money, and not getting the results that I want. I am not going to search for another doctor, or try to come up with additional money to get more lipo because I really feel that it could have all been done the first time. Don't get me wrong, I think Dr. Davoudi is a great doctor, but I feel that he may be more so for tummy tucks v/s just lipo. I am not sure if he is aggressive enough when it comes to just lipo. As far as Tummy Tucks, he has amazing results, but not everyone really needs or wants a tuck. So far, based on my current results, if I only paid half the price, I would be ok, but for the price I paid, my body should be ready to swing on a pole naked if I wanted to. I am going to try and loose another 10 pounds to help out, but I really didn't want to loose anymore weight, because I like my current weight of 138 because it gives me curves. If I loose another 10 pounds just to try to get rid of this belly fat, I think I may loose my hips, and butt which will defeat the purpose of getting the BBL done. Ugggggg All I wanted was the fat removed from the stomach..I will give my final review and rating the end of next month, which will be post of 3 months for me.

Hello All
So, I have had 2 messages since I was released at my 3rd week post op to start having messages. I will be having 2 a week. They suggested 10, but I think I will only do 6. I have been doing at home messages in between, and this has also been helping. I have lost lots of volume in the butt. It's not flat, it's just small. I am o.k with it being small because I have a small 5'3 frame, but if I had to go without sitting for 4 weeks and lying on my back, I need some curves for this butt to stay.....I have followed every instruction provided. I took 3 weeks off so that I would not have to sit. The 4th week, I was allowed to work from home (working on my stomach was super uncomfortable, but I made it happen) . Up until my message last week, I have been confined to my house for 3 weeks on my stomach in a tight body contraption LOL....My current weight is 139. I have lost 4 pounds and 2 inches of the waist, but this stomach is still here!!!!!! I have purchased every piece of equipment/garment that was recommended, and informed to get.....I have followed all directions, but right now don't see any major changes. You honestly can't tell that I had anything done at all. I know Dr. D is the bomb with Tummy Tucks, and he makes sure you have minimal to no scars, but now that I look back, I haven't really seen any reviews of just lipo. I am hoping this is all just apart of the recovery process, and in another month I will wake up to some magical results.

O.k. So, I had my first message 3 days ago. I was officially 3 week post op. I had to wait until the MD cleared me for them. The message therapist was a little upset because she stated she would have liked to have seen me at least after 1 week post op if not immediately after. She said I was really swollen and lots of inflammation. The message hurt. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It should get better after each session. She recommended 10. I"m not sure if I will do all 10. She was very good with the messages. She did a manual, and used the machine. I still do not see any real changes. I have looked at other before and after and most people have significant changes the first day post op. It really looks like I haven't had surgery at all. I am trying not to get depressed or upset just yet, but this is it for me. I will not be able to have any corrective surgery, or go back for a round 2. I really hope I made the right decision with my MD. I am on week 4 post op. I have 2 more months before I am at my 3 month mark. I will give it to then because I have seen the swell stories on here, so I will wait to see.
