So first let me start with the good. I think my body looks great! While my butt isn't exactly what I'd hoped it would be, I am more slender and athletic now. That being said I do believe this is a result from me dieting and exercising versus the fat transfer. My reasoning behind that is I have been dating for the past four months and exercising at least 5 days a week. I have managed to lose 15 pounds since my surgery, and seeing as you should not lose much weight after fat transfer, I am concluding that this is from diet and exercise. The bad, a lot of places that were like oh I still have a lot of fat, and my buttocks has completely gone back to its original shape. I now have the dumpling in the sides of my buttocks that I had before, and my butt is not as full or firm. I mentioned this at the last office visit and dr. E. assured me I was seeing things. I'd like to also add at my initial consultation he told me that having gluteal implants was not a possibility as it is unsafe and doctors do not do it anymore... that being said I have been researching this now for 4 months, not only do many doctors still perform gluteal implants which is what I initially wanted, but MOST doctors still perform this procedure. And having gone to several consultations with these doctors, it is a perfectly safe procedure. This leads me to believe that dr. E. does not do booty implants, but he still wanted my money so he told me that no one else does them either, that makes me feel financially raped. I'm very upset at this.

Oh wow! Sorry that happened! That's my worst fear is to go through all that pain and have sucky results! You look great though! Maybe you just didn't have enough fat to transfer. He should have told you that but like you said he wanted your money most likely !

Two and a half weeks!

So it has been just under 3 weeks, I started exercising 3 days ago and a lot of the fluid has gone down. I'm not sure if it's due to the exercising, but I'm starting to really love my results. It's nice to know that if this is how I look just 3 weeks out, I still have a ways to go before I reach that 4 to 6 month Mark... so how awesome will I look then? so far I am enjoying the results of this more than my breasts. I'm super excited to see what the future holds. You'll have to excuse the pictures, my husband works out of state and these photos were taken for him. However I thought I would share them with you guys to show you how great I am feeling. I feel sexy for the first time in a long time. Sleeping in lingerie, wearing sexy panties under my clothes. For the longest time I've just felt like a mom, with Mom body, but now I feel young and sexy again!
