Today I went for my 3 mos post op visit & seems like the place where I need the fat the most -- absorbed.
I'm kinda sad & really can't afford a revision.
I also learned that my sponge-bob booty cheeks are a pocket of fat that's basically not the same as my buttock. It sounds crazy but this is my reality. This was one of my main issues that didn't get fix due to fear of infection. I have two options:
1: lipo the pocket/section of fat & pray the skin tightens up.
2: cut & shape the booty cheeks which is the hardest to heal.
I saw my before & after pics; there is a MAJOR DIFFERENCE!!!! Omg!!!
My stomach was out of control.
I also see that I'm still swollen @ 3mos. No pics to show -- kinda sad.

Hey there, hope you're well!

We'd love an update, now you're not far from a year post-op, to find out what you think of the longer-term results! :-)

Years later how do you feel about your results now? Would you do anything different?

Save your money and see a specialist in the booty area. Dr Miami. Seriously I'm from Detroit too and I stay up on the goins of the PS world. I wouldn't let any of these local docs near my bum

Thx for your comment. But it too late. My surgery was 2-3 yrs ago. 1 year post op I visit Dr. Cortez in Houston and realize where I went wrong. I certainly wouldn't mind a revision but I'm still paying for the 1st surgery.

I recommend ladies to go out-of-town to someone WHO SPECIALIZE IN BOOTY as well!!!!
I see now I could afford it. I could of easily stayed in Texas for a week. It would have been another $1500-2000 for a round plump, slapable, grabbable ASS vs. saving that money & still got a semi-flat, non-cuff/cease Ass.

I'm basically 8wks post op today, I haven't notice too much difference in my buttocks. My back swelling comes and goes. I've been using my binder @ night which to me, keeps the swelling in check. But when I wake up during the night my back is burning something awful. Even when I don't wear at times, my back burns. Or if I seat a certain way.... my back has this burning sensation. Or when I bend over.... it feels like someone has threw a match on it.
Now my tummy has its on set of issues. At times, it seems like I have a pot belly. Not sure if this occurs after a meal, or if its gas but its alarming now that my TT is starting to relax. I'm not sure if I need a tighter garment or binder but I will be seeing my doctor tomorrow.
I have no pics.

My booty feels heavier in the cheeks area but still not full in the center. I don't think I be getting my tear drop booty or a cuff. :^(

OMG!!!! I'm jiggling BABY..... Go head BABY!!! My booty is nice & round & FULL!!!! Don't have a cuff yet but it's sure is heavy!!!! Stomach is still flat but will bulge out sometime. I need a smaller waist clincher. My tummy is starting to relax more & more. I'm losing a lot of fluid from swelling too. I go to the restroom way more often than I like.
My cycle have been different too.
Far as pain: my back hurts when I massage it but the more I rub it the better it feels. And the left side of my TT incision feels like its pulling. But once I examine it, it's not red or open, just sore to the touch.

I still wear the garment she privided but I wear a corset type vest by Squeem over it too. I have shapewear with the booty out that I use prior to my procedure & still use it @ work just for support. Those garment are gonna be ur best friend. Lol. It just goes to show you that she must be good to stay soooo busy.

I hear the massage are good but not necessary. They massage ur Lipo areas to milk out the extra fluid from swelling but I'm not sure if its worth it cuz the swelling comes & goes thur out ur recovery. I can certain see how it helps with the pain but you stay swollen to a certain point up to a year. Ask the doctor. Call the receptionist & direct ur question to her. If she can't answer, the doctor will call u back.
