I remain so happy with the results! I will probably have a "revision" in the form of a second go-round on the BBL. At my last visit with Dr. P (12 weeks), he agreed and said he is willing to do that, but we need to wait until 6 mos. post so that he can tell "what is what" -- he insists there is still some swelling.
I was up about 5 pounds post-surgery, but have now lost that. I'm back in a workout schedule and everything is great! Nice to do a burpee and not have my pants snap below my fat roll! Ha!
I have a few hard spots underneath my scars. I try massaging them. Dr. P actually used a steroid injection in one at my hip that was the largest and actually uncomfortable. It seems to be resolving and is no longer bothersome!
Still think Dr. P is a genius and fully believe that this surgery has CHANGED MY LIFE. I am happier, more confident, more active with my son...

WOW!!! You look amazing! What an incredible transformation! How many clothing sizes did you go down? How many pounds? I'm starting my journey a week from tomorrow with a breast lift with slight reduction and lipo to the flanks and back. Then in November I'm doing MR, TT and hip lipo. Do you see a big difference in your knees? Maybe I should add that too!! Any advice is greatly appreciated. I'm nervous for the surgeries but so ready to start the process! I am a mom to 10 year old twins and they are the loves of my life but took a huge toll on my body and I just want to feel like me again!!!

Thanks for the sweet comments :) I am really happy with the change! I went from a 12-14 to an 8-10. The before pictures were around 190-192 and the after pics are at 176. I do notice a difference in my knees, but I wish I had done my inner thighs too. Ha. I think I will have him do the inner thighs when I do another round of BBL. I could always "pick" on something :) But for the most part, I think it turned out great!
Good luck on your transformation! :)

Wow, you had a lot done all at once but you are looking awesome!!! I would like to have all of that done but not sure if I can handle that much recovery at one time. You did great!!

Thank you! :) I personally couldn't have imagined going through surgery and recovery twice! But I know each doctor has their own opinion on what is best! Good luck!

You look great! Can you post more full body pics and pics of your BBL now? My surgery with Dr. Patronella is in 3 weeks. I'm so excited, but still debating if the BBL is worth the $ if there is not a big difference from before and after.
