Just thought I'd give a quick update. Feeling good in the skin that I'm in :) Still a little sore in certain parts of my body but other than that I am doing great. I love my new body even though I do have a little booty greed. Haha. But I'm still happy with what I got! I'm finally able to wear tight dresses and look good in it! Lol

Thanks for sharing , I'm also having dr. Hsu do a bbl on me in 6 days , any advice? You look great girl I'm more excited now after seeing your pics

You look great! I never had a tiny waist, but after 3 kids, a less intense work out schedule, and what must be hormonal flux with age, I too feel like a cereal box ...... your outcome is inspirational -- not sure if I'll ever get the gumption/opportunity to go for it-- but I'm saving your story just in case. Thanks for sharing

My current measurements are 38-28-39. Still have swelling in my arms, Lower back and Lower abdomen. I do have some booty greed to be honest. Lol. Wish it would have stayed at 40 but I knew going in I didn't have much fat to work with. So its ok. Still absolutely love my results! Dr Hsu did an amazing job on my liposuction! Especially on my belly. No bumpiness or lumpiness at all! (I didn't get any lymph massage to help with that). He liposuctioned just the right amount so it doesn't look fake or lipoed and my skin retracted very well! Other than that, can't wait to get rid of this garment and sit on my butt again. Lol. But I will wait to fully sit on it for another 4 weeks...

Can't wait for your after pics :) What areas are you getting lipoed?
User Avatar
December 29, 2016
I'm getting my upper back (bra roll area) lower back/love handles, and abdomen lipoed. I asked him about my inner thighs but he didn't think it was necessary (and I'm afraid of that pain!) I'm trying not to think too much since it's booked and paid for, but about 5 years ago I had a breast Aug go terribly wrong. This is a different situation though and I just have to keep a clear mind! I've seen nothing but great results (one nay sayer) from him. I'm excited!!

Wow. What had gone wrong with your breast aug if I may ask?
User Avatar
December 29, 2016
Oh man, it's a long story but I'll try to make it short. Basically I was unhappy with the position of my breasts (they weren't full but rather "saggy" in my opinion). I had a consultation with a dr in Sacramento who said I needed a lift and possibly a small implant, a consultation with a dr in Beverly Hills who said he would NOT do implants for me but only a lift, that in his opinion the implants would not be what I was looking for, and finally a dr in Marin County (Bay Area/SF) who said I just needed a "small implant". I was a full 36c and didn't want to be much bigger, just "fuller" at the top. She said an implant of 200-250cc would give me just that and that at 27yrs (5yrs ago) I was too young for a lift and should wait until after children and she would give me a "discount" for the future lift. Her implants were $9500 (way more than the other two dr I consulted w). I went for it, very rushed as she said she only had one spot left for the year and it happened to be a month away. She gave me 550cc in each breast. 550cc!!!!!! I was rushed to ER the same evening as my initial surgery with severe hematoma in my left breast. She didn't have time to put me under or suit up for OR so she pulled the stitches out right then and there, street cloths and all, no anesthesia. She proceeded to drain the "blood" my mom and two friends in the room watching it all. I then got a bill for 12k for the we visit. Wrote her a scathing letter that this was her doing. Eventually the bill "disappeared". I then got (shocking!) a staph infection in that incision a week (or so) later (which she also blamed me for). And finally I got DOUBLE hernia in both breast due to the implants being TOO LARGE. Had them removed by the dr I had my first consult with and paid another $3400 (which was a killer deal) he removed them and did a lift. Ah!!! My boob saga.

Wow that's crazy! I'm so sorry to hear that! I understand that you are trying not to think about the upcoming bbl. I think Dr Dass is a great Dr as far as his reviews go and it looks like this time you have done your homework :)

Absolutely. And that's what my husband says. I'm sure all will be well! It's just nerve racking the days before, I'm sure you get it!

Just wanted to give a quick update! I'm almost at my 2 week mark. Soreness is getting much better. I am still swollen, especially on my lower back. But overall I'm doing fine. Still haven't sat on my new butt! Lol.
I really have to say that Dr Hsu is one awesome doctor! Not only does he sincerely care for his patients, He surely knows how to shape a woman! And I am amazed that a little fat graft can make such a huge difference (only had 500cc in each cheek). By the way my goal was never to have a big butt, but rather to improve my overall body shape! Dr Hsu did an amazing job! Just hoping that I can maintain the current size of my butt! Lol

You seriously look amazing! I can't believe you are bruise free! Did you take pineapple pills or anything? I'm so excited! In 3 weeks out and seeing this totally gives me hope! Lol your shape is perfect

Thanks so much! I'm excited for you! You are gonna look amazing! You have a great body to begin with! Dr Dass will hook u up! I've seen he is very aggressive with his lipo so he will give you the body of your dreams! :) Did he estimate how many cc he will give you? And no, I was just eating lots of fresh pineapple and tried to eat super healthy and low sodium :)
User Avatar
December 15, 2016
Thanks!! I hope so! No I haven't heard about the cc's. I'm honestly not super concerned about the booty part as much as I am having my waist brought in as much as possible and my back rolls! I work out 5-7 days a week and eat fairly healthy and just can't seem to get rid of it. When I had my phone consult with him (I'm in not cal so I haven't met him yet) he said we often just have stubborn areas that diet and exercise can't fix, so I'm hoping this is the answer!

How are you doing ?I'm waiting for an update from some hsu dolls!

Hey I am doing good. Still not sitting on my butt. Lol. My current measurements are 38-28-39. So my butt has gone down quite a bit since all the swelling resolved. But I guess that was expected. (Wish my butt would have stayed at 40. Lol) I still have swelling in the lipoed areas (especially arms, lower back and lower abdomen). The biggest change for me was my waist. My butt is still somewhat the same size just not flat anymore and he put most of my fat in the upper side parts of my booty so it looks really nice when I wear a tight dress. I am tired of wearing the garment but it is also awkward without it. I basically still wear it 24/7. Tenderness and pain are much better. Worst at this point is my right arm, but I guess it's because I use it so much :-\

You are looking so good! Such a subtle but amazing before and after. What were your measurements prior to?
User Avatar
December 29, 2016
Thank you so much :) My measurements before were 38-31-38. I've gained 1 Inch to hip/butt (dr Hsu put most in the upper part of my butt and lower part of my butt so when I measure my hips it doesn't include those areas) and lost 3 inch in my waist and still have some swelling. So I'm happy :)

I honestly am less concerned about a perfect booty and more concerned about having a waist finally!!!! I always say I'm like a cereal box lol no curves at all! It doesn't help that I build muscle like a dude, while all the ladies I know get tiny, I bulk =\
