My BBL total transformation!

Can't beleive it's been a year! And it's still there!
WORTH IT$8,500
I thought I'd update at a year for those of you who may be wondering about the long term results of the fat transfer. For me it's been great, I still wish I had done it sooner. I never actually did this before but as Im writing this review I just calculated that I only lost 10% of the fat that was transferred which is pretty awesome! I guess all the extra time of not applying direct pressure and wearing my CG longer paid off! Anyone on the fence about this surgery don't be!
On another note, recently I visited my hometown and learned that so many of my high school and college friends have had this surgery, so weird, here where I live now noone really knows about the procedure. Anyone I've told about it didn't even know it existed. The other thing about it is my friends live close to the mexican border so they go over there for a fraction of the price.... I'm not that brave :). Although my niece did it in Tijuana and she looks good years later. However I don't think the sculpting was as precise and perfect as it should be (she's looking into a revision). Anyway going back there with my new body was pretty fun, and it was nice to be open about it among friends, plus it's obvious to them because they know my before booty all to well. I also did some serious shopping, kind of hard not to when everything you try on fits so much better, I had clothes addiction before... So you can imagine how bad it is now :)
Here are some pics from earlier today, sorry they are dark!

3 months PO! Hardly a secret!
So today marks my 3 month bootyversary! Aside from my normal busy life as a mom, wife, friend and career woman.... I really have enjoyed this summer, specifically the clothes :), such a transformation for me. Skirts, shorts, slacks all of it! Yeah I have gone through the whole booty greed thing so much that I still measure my booty daily, and it has not changed since about the 2 week mark. I still don't put much pressure on it and when I do it is not for long. Today I finally went in for a mani & pedi, was pretty desperate for that!
Anyway it's pretty much open knowledge that I had some "work" done, so when people ask I simply tell them I had lipo and sculpting! Funny once you tell someone what you've done the spilling of information about all of the "work" others want or have had just keeps flowing! Anyway we've had company over the summer and it seemed that all eyes were on my booty! Some people on my side of the family are pretty blunt so they were like oh my god your butt looks huge! I really don't think it's big at all, I think the shape is nice/natural but certainly not in the huge category! My husbands family on the other hand were more discreet.. With comments like you look great, never thought of me as the nip and tuck kinda girl but nonetheless they said I looked great! At work the girls are always telling me my butt and legs good, and I always catch them starring. Funny!
I've also had a few massages and my masseuse tells me she's never seen someone with such small scars as mine after lipo. My primary care doctor also said I looked great, and gave me the green light if I do decide to get a BA. This procedure has been such a confidence booster for me (really had a huge body complex)! I have finally lost some of the weight I had gained for this surgery. All of my clothes fits except for the waist area, I have a huge dent, which I guess I need to sew so it doesn't bunch up...
My only complaint or part that I don't love would be an unevenness on my ab area, to me it is very visible with bathing suits, naked etc but everyone else tells me they can't see it, so could be just me...

Thank you Bella! Yes your review was very helpful! My arms are next!!! Everything is still looking good on the booty end, I feel like I've lost inches/volume but I still measure the same as about 2wks postop. My abs are still a little uneven but barely noticeable! Good luck with your BBL, I see you are considering Dr. Bruno, he seems amazing! My doc is great too, although he hasn't done as many I guess it's not very popular here yet, but he uses pure fat and I think that makes a big dif!

Thanks :)
If you decide to do your arms any time soon make sue they do smart-lipo. It tightened my skin underneath&scars are tny like mosquito bites. I am not doing a bbl anymore.
What do you mean pure fat? I thought all the doctors cleaned&drained the fat?
S
September 5, 2014
I didn't think you needed a bbl! I thought it already looked great! No, not all docs clean and drain the fat! And I went to one consult where they told me they would use either smart or vaser lipo which are great lipo methods if the fat is going to be discarded, but if it is going to be grafted then they are basically injecting dead fat because smart and vaser lipo kill fat cells... So I basically said thank you and started my doctor search elsewhere, I had to go out of state.

So you did tumescent lipo right? Well your butt looks FAB!! very Natural.
Thanks,i will leave my butt alone and work my way up to abs :)
S

Yup he used tumescent lipo.
For my arms I would like smart lipo because I suspect I will have some loose skin but not sure he does that, and at this point not sure I would go to anyone else. Also the nurse said I had good skin and no stretch marks on the arms... But you can see from my last pic they are huge for my petite frame

I had smart-lipo on arms and love it. I had tumescent on legs 18 years ago and hated it.
But that's all the lipo we had back then,lol. your arms are NOT HUGE!!! I would find someone who specializes in smart-lipo but i understand you like your doctor. I feel the same about mine but he does everything. I am so lucky!

Lol you are sweet, I think they are the size of my legs! Even when I'm super skinny, my arms don't change much. I did start an arm workout regimen, and hoping I can tone them up before my breast aug and may need less lipo, since the price depends on size!

thanks but it's true. sometimes we can be our WORST CRITICS. WOW! when are you doing that?
S
September 5, 2014
Thank you! Ps really looking forward to your review on coolsculpting! I've read mixed reviews, so I'm super interested in your experience. I'm hoping to get my breast aug in December when I don't have to take so much time off and I can cover those girls up! Lol

I looked at your pics again and your arms are proportionate to your body. I don't see any fat there or HUGE arms.

Okay you are officially my favorite person right now! I'm going to start a new review and post some arm pics so I can keep track of my workouts! Figured I'd hold myself more accountable.
Were u looking at the pic where I have a gray skirt? Cuz I see that pic and all I see is arms and booty! Lol

BB

1 month post op dr. Visit bbl and holding steady! Ps don't discard your foams!
Well it's been one month and yesterday I got to see my doctor for the first time. I came to town because my cousin went to him for a tummy tuck... Which by the way looks amazing and it's only been one day, he really is an amazing artist. Any back to my postop this time I was the care taker and was able to interact more with the staff, and they truly are amazing! I knew I was happy but I was pretty drugged up to really appreciate all of them. Honestly, for those of us who live in the west/northwest they are an excellent option versus going to California, Colorado, Washington etc! There are tons of hotels and a theme park if the family is joining... Okay so my butt is holding steady at 40 and my waist is just under 30. I have dropped 10lbs since my surgery but I haven't weighed myself since last weekend. I do measure butt and waist every morning! Life is getting a little back to normal, still sitting on my neck pillow and sleeping on my belly. I'm also getting my new compression garment in a smaller size and I got additional foams to help with swelling! Bbl sisters please don't discard your foams if you get them on day 3 or 4 I hated them, today I can't be without them they help with swelling and keeping skin smooth! I look a little thicker in them around my waist but I still love them. Here are my pics from this morning, I really love my results! Now onto my next two journeys, coolsculpting my arms and breast augmentation! And of course working out to maintain my new butt and keep my abs flat!
