Im already on Post Op week 2 of my Surgery and I would like to thank everyone in the community for sharing your stories and sharing tour pictures as it helped me a lot on my first week of recovery when I was completely confused, in agony due to severe pain ( i felt like i was hit by a truck) and i was so depressed questioning myself why I did this to myself. Your stories gave me strength mentally emotionally and physically and I must share to you ladies at this point, although I know it is still early, I am happy I made this decision, Everyday gets better and better. I am still very swollen but I am starting to see definition and I am so excited on the nextfew weeks, months and years. My only advice to the new ladies who plan to take this journey, Do your research. Trust tour surgeon and follow his protocol and most of all, Stay strong. Your body is much much stronger than you think it is. Wishing everyone Happy healing Beautiful ladies of realself!

It is helping me. I scheduled my surgery for January also with Dr. Epstein and this helps a lot. I'm so scared and anxious. I check every day to see if you have posted any updates. Thank you so much for the detail of your post and the pictures. It helps to know what to expect specially since we have the same surgeon. Thanks again!!!

Your results look very good , your feelings on your earlier posts I could relate to. We both had the same procedures!! How do you feel your fat graft to the butt is holding on to the percentage of fat transferred
How long did you stay off you butt?

Thanks. To be quite honest with you, I am still not very pleased with how my butt looks right now. It looks symmetrical but I dont see much of a difference from how it looked prior to surgery. Probably because i am still swollen all over that the the true shape of my butt hasnt shown yet. My doctor showed me a photo immediately after sx and I do like how it looks on the photo. I still sleep in my recliner with a pillow under my butt only because I do not want want to mess with the shape but it doesnt hurt anymore as it did a week after surgery.

I've heard some people have had to get more because 30 percent reabsorb
I'm like you need to wait to see final results

I'm so happy you posted about the sleeping position. I go in for the same surgery on the 29th and wasn't sure if I should buy a recliner or not. After your post I am definitely buying one. Thank you for sharing and you look great!!!

No problem. I think its a good invesment as it does'nt just help so we can sleep comfortably but also preventing on putting tension on our incision on the early days of recovery. Wishing you best of luck on your surgery! Sending good vibes on your way.

Hello, you are looking great, but how do you sleep with tummy tuck and fat transfer to hip and butt. I did my TT tuck over 4 weeks ago and fat transfer to my butt, but not my hip so I can sleep on my left or right sides with my hip. This is also my second time of fat transfer because I lose most of it from a different surgeon 2.5 months apart. And of course again, I think I need another fat transfer to butt because the fat didn't stay on the top portion of the butt. But going to wait for another year because I still need to pay for a mini arm and mini inner thigh lifts. My doctor did not let me remove the second drain till now over 4 weeks because it is still draining over 25 cc within 24 hours (I still draining 50 cc in 24 hours). Hoping the surgeon will do a revision on my left side because it has more skin left compared to the right side of my flank.
