6 Month Mark!

I have been able to work out now and for the past 2 months I have been dieting, and working out at least 3 times a week. I overall have lost about 14 pounds give or take and I feel I have only lost about 1.5 inches from where my butt sticks out the most. I want to lose another 10 lbs, but afraid to lose everything. I feel like I have lost some hips, which makes me want to do a little bit of revision from my thighs to my butt and hips.
Overall, I loved my result and how Dr. Hsu did such a great job. I get so many compliments and it feels amazing!
Here are a few recent photos from some of the weight loss. It doesn't look much of a difference! Haha, Im trying! Excuse the messy blurs and stretch marks!

Also, I forgot to add. I still don't fully sit on my butt neither. I use my pillow at work and when I'm not, I still sit on my legs. I was wearing my garment for a long time and then switched to nights for months. I stopped using my garment every night for 2 months now. I'm very afraid to lose results, so I went above and beyond to be a little extra and extended my time frame for those. LOL

You give me hope that I’m gonna be fine at the end. I am almost 4 weeks post and feel like my butt has gotten smaller and my bras are to tight on me which I never had a problem before so I’m obviously swollen. I want to start going to the gym soooo bad I need to loose like 25lbs!!! And I can’t yet because I have a greater chance of loosing my butt. Ugh it’s crazy to think how much money we invest Not only money but pain we go through. I’m just hoping that I will be happy with my results 6 months from now will see! You look great!

3 Month Post Op

User Avatar

It has been a very long journey, I can't even say I want to do this all over again. It has been about 3 month and 11 days and I still have not directly sat on my butt yet. I still feel a little bit of pain on my lower sides from the lipo, so I am still gentle with myself with certain things.

I had an appointment with Dr. Hsu for my 3 month post op, and everything went pretty well. I had some complaints here and there and he explained how surgeries are, which made me feel better. He can't make certain fats stay in certain areas or what fat lives and dies and thats completely understandable. I regret not measuring myself before, but right now my butt is about 41'. I kind of wish it was a little bigger, but as usual everyone I know says its big enough. -__- Hopefully no more fat dies! I'm now considering more lipo in certain areas, but that is to determine later because I have spent so much on the procedure itself.

Overall my results are great, I don't regret my decision with Dr. Hsu. He is very thorough and careful about his work. I've had a lot of compliments from other ladies and it feels great!
Will update some pictures soon and have another review in the next couple months.

Your results look amazing!! Did you ever sleep on your sides? I am 2 week post op and my dr said I can sleep on my sides since no fat was transferred to hips and I lay on a mattress topper folded in two but still I'm so afraid I'll mess something up laying on my sides but I truly cannot sleep otherwise anymore.

Hello! Thanks love! At first they didn't tell me I couldnt sleep on my sides, but he gave me a little bit of hips, so a few days later I stopped laying on my side after I called and asked. I think you should be fine if he didn't give you any hips. And yes sleeping was not much of an option for the time being, but it was all worth it for me!

I'm sorry you're disappointed. I think your butt looks good...Very shapely. The one higher than the other thing...Are you sure you don't have a little misalignment in your lower back? It almost looks like that to me. And I do believe that the pudgy you're seeing is mostly swelling. That's my hope and prayer for you. Of course, that doesn't change how you are feeling. I get that. Please hang in there and give it some time to resolve. Then if it doesn't pan out, go ahead and be very mad!

Ok, I went back to your other pictures and see how he marked you. The left is higher than the right. But, in your after full length pic, it looks like the back of your left knee is higher than the back of your right knee. I really am thinking this is like a scoliosis. Can you get checked and let us know??

I definitely recommend Dr. Hsu! Sorry about the late response! Most of my fat has retained pretty well. One of his techniques that he explained to me were counting his strokes to try to be as precise as he could.
