Had my first BBL done in May of 2014. The new body shape I received after all that crazy swelling went down blew my mind. My doctor really is a skilled physician but I'm not so sure much of the fat in the transfer survived as you can see if you take a look at my post pictures. I'd have to say the fat has moved over the past year and deminished even further so round two starts this Tuesday November 17th!

I'm pretty nervous considering I'm having a thigh lift done to eliminate the banana rolls. The scars I imagine will be dark purple and/or red. I am also having some of the fat transfered to my face. The challenging part of this will be to keep my weight off my butt for 2 - 3 months so the fat can survive better than last time and not sleep on my face either so that fat survives. I've experimented and figured out how to do this and I think I've come up with a good solution :)

My last review was pretty detailed but this one I intend to be even more helpful so others can know better what to expect and how to prepare. I do recommend you guys skim through my last review for products and suggestions as well.

This is going to be a rough ride for me. My body swelled up BIG time post surgery in 2014. Some girls swell a lot and other not so much. The first week post surgery expect to be rough... I mean really rough but for me having that surgery changed my life so much and for the better. I still have the flat tummy I always dreamed of, and over all a more shapely figure. I have no regrets about that! Once the first week post surgery is over the body quickly starts to heal. You'll notice your energy level rising daily, the endurance going up, pain level goes down, and your mood will slowly stabilize.

4 DAYS TILL SURGERY! Excited, scared, nervous, and happy :)

I thought banana rolls could be liposuctioned ? You still look great from your first surgery, thanks for the details.

Lipoing banana rolls can cause the butt to fall and sag. Most doctors won't do it.

fakeisthenewreal is right and most surgeons will not suction any fat from the banana roll area. The banana rolls look worse in natural lighting than artificial and I have loose skin on my thighs that sag and enhance fat dimples and wrinkles. The way my thighs jiggle when I walk is more than an almost any girl similar to my size that I've seen wearing a skirt or dress. I've decided that although I don't want the scars to me I'd rather that than continue living with banana rolls, saggy jiggling skin, dimples, and wrinkles that I have now. It's just a personal preference. Some girls would rather the opposite and that's ok too.

You have such a cute, sexy body! Are you sure you want those scars from a thigh lift? Have you considered just doing another bbl and leaving those alone?

awww you are a sweety for saying so :) unfortunately the right banana roll continues to get worse and has become quite uncomfortable. The right butt cheek which is the longer skinner side puts too much pressure on it as well so since I'm getting the thigh lift to resolve the issue and he says he must lipo we might as well put that fat to good use and round out the right side and my face :). He'll be putting fat back into my lower forehead, eyes, temples, cheeks, and lips. This will help pull my skin back to where it used to be years ago. I got the injections once spending $2,500 and they didn't last long on me nor was it enough volume for me. Don't you hate how us women loose fat in the areas we want it and have it pool to the areas we don't as we age? Glad I have a competent and able surgeon to help with that :)

Lol, yes! If only it would go where we need it! Best to you! I'm sure you will look even better after.

Thank you so much for your detailed review. I hope everything is healing better now. Like the other posters, I think you look amazing and after swelling is gone things will even out. I am comforted to see that you were able to get a but crease lift as I have serious roll here it gets me so badly down I don't look at my body naked if I can help it.

I know you had issues with the surgeon, but would you recommend him? I am so scared of no surgeon touching me because I have mild rolls and skin sag on the thighs, I worry I will take the risk with the first one who says he will treat me.

If you can share details it will help me decide who to approach. Also did you doc say if it was possible to widen the thigh gap - I happen to have saggy skin in this area :( and in an ideal world would get a lift under buttocks round to front groin with a medial lift to the knee.

In any case thanks again for the great post and pics.

Hi Babakins thanks for commenting on my review. Just got done crying my eyes out from the pain of having hubby going into the hole on my thigh with a q-tip to clean it out with salt water and pack in the gauze :( I needed to hear some positive so I thank you for that.

Yes I would 100% recommend my surgeon for a thigh lift. I hate being in the Miami area with the crazy drivers and angry people but he's worth it and he's THAT good. If not my surgeon I would recommend one in the Florida area as they are known for having the most butt experts and if you want that incision properly placed under the buttock and groin crease go to Florida.

Do not say yes to just anyone because this is a tricky procedure and you don't want your lower buttock support all warped out of shape because someone isn't artistic enough to make the proper cuts. It's your choice but I cringe whenever I see the pics done by inexperienced surgeons.

Yes you can widen the gap in between your thighs. My surgeon lipo'd that area and lifted the skin tucking it into the goin crease. I'll post my 4 day post op groin incision so you can see what it used to look like before I removed the stitches there. Most the stitches are internal and biodegradeable. The groin however has stitches that 1 week post op are removed.

I so far have no regrets in getting this procedure done and if I could go back in time I'd do it again. My banana rolls are going and all the wiggly jiggly skin on my thighs stays in place. :)

Aaaaw I sorry you're still in pain :(

But you are giving so much back to people like me, and we are grateful. I agree the right surgeon is crucial but it can be a minefield that's for sure. You give me hope that I can get my legs and bum sorted out. Of course I expect the worst whenever I see a surgeon but I hope not!

thank you babakins. Yes I believe with the right surgeon most issues can be corrected or at least made better than before. It's scary for anyone. There's a lot of variables to consider and often times people don't get exactly what they want. What's most important is to have it at least better than before and to manage expectations :)

hi NN83 thank you for saying so and I wish I agreed. Unfortunately at this stage I would not recommend my surgeon. He seems to forget to easily what areas were agreed to be lipo'd and how much fat to inject and where. The biggest challenges I'm having at the moment is the upward curve in the middle of the left lower buttock crease and the lump at the top.

If you are looking to get BBL some of the best well know surgeons would be Salama and Hasan.

Doc said we can't raise up the bottom gluteal crease like I wanted in the first pic but that the second image I made is likely possible. What do you girls think of the shape? Does it look ok and if not where should I have him add more fat?

you already look great but I would have a little fat added to the lateral depressions, which is the area right on your buttcocks (the sides) just to give it a fuller but natural look.

I don't remember a much of what happened yesterday which I guess is a good thing. I slept through the ride home post surgery and waddled with hubby to our hotel room. Today I went in to the surgeons building to get my garment changed. I went in feeling sick to my stomach and a pounding migrain. They gave me an Ibrupropen and some apple juice. This helped quite a bit and they got my all cleaned up and changed. The doctor told me he was able to extract the full liter of fat and put in 450 ccs into each cheeck and 60 - 70 ccs into the face. The incisions look clean and I'm hoping they'll heal without lumps. I'd write more but I'm pretty exhausted. I'll be back to post pics soon girls ;)
