4 week appointment

WORTH IT$9,500
Saw Dr. Cortes today. Recovery going well. Minimal shrinkage :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
Still swollen in lower back & inner thighs. Switched to corset & open butt lift panties- I found on Amazon.The stage 2 garment was beginning to cut into my skin. Much more comfortable now. Going back to work next week so Im going to order some thigh high compression stockings to help decrease swelling in my legs. Itching almost gone only seems to happen at night :-\ .Until next time dolls!

Booty is really nice hun :-)
Amazing! Amazing! I'm in love with your new butt! So how much did Cortes put in? You said two different CC amounts so I'm not sure. Was it your butt and hips? I know you said you had to gain weight to get the look you wanted. What is your weight and height normally? I'm trying to get an idea of what amount of CCs will look good for my shape/height and be "neckbreaking" but not have me looking fake as heck either lol. Congrats again on your journey! Happy healing!
looking good
@Redgoddess68 Last week I went back to my pre-surgery eating pattern. 5 small meals, protein shakes, water, water,water. I dont want to lose weight mainly tone up. Thanks for the atm exercise advice!!
I'm thinking if you don't eat much you will lose your sexy booty. I was wanting to eat the way your stating but my hubby thinks I might lose my booty if I dont eat enough food and carbs, what you think?
Yes we have to keep a balance between good carbs & protein so we dont lose this butt we worked hard to get! My typical diet is 6am-smoothie made with kale, banana, strawberries, flaxseed, protein powder. 10am-apple with 1 tablespoon organic peanut butter 2pm- 6oz protein (chicken or fish) 1/2 cup brown rice. small salad with vinegar&olive oil 6pm-6oz protein( chicken or fish) broccoli. 9pm- 100 calorie greek yogurt or watermelon. Its hard eating all this food but eating clean & every few hours will actually help build muscle & build up our butts so they wont deflate.LOL
Ive been eating that way as well. I might throw in a cappuccino 1 or 2 days a week. I have a sweet tooth but I dont eat much junk lately. I loved it when I had to eat all types of food to gain weight lol..
Me too LOL
I had soooo much fun doing it. The worse part is my husband put on weight too. Now we both need a gym membership.
Thanks for the compliments ladies!! @ Transfomingforme- He put 1500 cc in the left/1400 cc in the right/400 each hip. My normal weight is 150. I gained 25lbs to get this butt LOL. Weighed myself today & Im 169 lbs. He said I could start doing some light upper body weights. Not doing any cardio until Im positive my butt is here to stay LOL.
Your booty is smazing. I'm also doing upper body workout since last Saturday. Have you changed youe eating pattern since your surgery hun?
I meant arm exercise LOL

Post op day 4

Just left Dr. Cortes's office. Drain removed & placed in a large one piece garment.....Baby can you say tight LOL....I had to hold on to the chair because I started seeing stars. Everuthing progressing well. He'll take the remainding sutures out on Wed. Until then walk & relax to let this bootie heal :-) If anyone needs a caregiver while in Houston please use Jane. She has been an angel to me & I couldnt have done this without her.

Lmaooooo @ "I had to hold on to the chair" I love reading the post op stories. You're looking good honey! Happy healing!!
Ok you say hire do that mean I will have to pay for a caregiver?
There is an amazing caregiver named Jane who also works for Cortes. She does charge a fee but her rates are quite reasonable. She is very friendly and caring.
Awww it will get better honey. The first few days are the pits! Happy healing!!!
Happy healing! Ur swelling is going down really fast! U look greAt!
Its not going down as fast I want but I will be looking great in no time. I just want these swollen legs to go down. I am not feeling that well to walk outside so I've been staying in my hotel room pacing back and forth.
Something is better than nothing!
Your totally right Sexeeangel. I just hate the waiting but I am happy that my pain this time around is a bit less then the 1st round.
Oh so this is ur second time around.... So what advice can you share for those desiring the almighty "bootay greed"? Did u take the vitamins all over again ? Did u have to buy additional garments? Is the healing time shorter ? Did dr Cortes give you a discount for this procedure ?
Im not sure if I got a discount or not. I had a revision done along with aggressive lipo on a few areas. I had to buy onky 1 garment to bring home with me. I already had a few other garments at home. The 2nd time around was a bit easier. The bruising on my body is probably a bit more this time for some reason. I am certain that this time I will be very happy with my body, lets cross our fingers :-)
Yes I will for you becz u will be the first not happy w his results or work and I want u to be happy! U look great but I do understand becz I'm told the exact same thing but it's what I have to do to have that desired look and I shldnt have to do all of the things I do for the amount I paid! Hang in there u are going to look GREEEEEATTTTTT! In my Tony the Tiger voice!
