Sculpsure
WORTH IT$9,300
Good Evening ladies,
I've been away for a while. Well wanted touch bases with you all. So today I went back to Dr Dass for a consultation regarding the right side of my abdomen and lower back that still had fat that was missed during my BBL in June of 2014. I wanted to give it time to disappear on its own however after exercising a while, I found not only did it not go away but my upper back and bra area was beginning to have more fat development as well. We discussed a new procedure that he is doing called Sculpsure. It's an in office procedure that has no down time, non surgical with laser tx alternating heat and cold to melt the fat. Supposedly the fat is absorbed by your body in 6-8 weeks and some results may actually be noted as soon as 2 weeks.
Well I'm 4 hours post my procedure. I didn't take photos but Dr Dass took plenty. I'm hoping to get good results. The procedure cost $1500 per area. He didn't charge for the revised area on my right side. I'll keep you all posted from week to week.

12 months postoperative BBL
Hi ladies,
Wow has it been a while. Well not much to report other than my consultations with both Dr Dass and Dr Hughes the first of the year. I decided to give my results a full year before I made any decisions to go back for a revised lipo to my right side. I've decided I will have that one area done over plus I'm going to add my upper back and bra area. Due to my new job unfortunately I won't be able to go in until December. I'll keep you posted. Any way, I'm adding a few pics. My measurements haven't changed that drastically. I still wish that my butt was a little bit bigger but this will do for now. My butt is still 39 1/2. My waist is 28-28 1/2.

Your projections is just perfect for your size. You look great!

Thanks. I'm happy but I am slightly unhappy with my right side still. I know I'm going to have that part lipo'd again.. Actually, it's a small part that he missed, but while I'm at it, I will have my upper back and bra area done as well. like I said, I will wait until December. Thanks for your support.

You look beautiful. I really appreciate your consistent, detailed reviews. Thank you a million times for sharing the photos too. I have my surgery Tuesday July 21,2015 and I am nervous as all heck. Thank you again.

Hello ladies in booty land. I'm just doing my final update with measurements. Overall I'm ok with my results with the exception of the small patch of fat on my right side that was missed during the initial surgery and of course my noticeable bra rolls that I guess weren't too obvious in the beginning which was the reason it wasn't done, however, now I'm noticing those areas are more pronounced. I've relocated to the Temecula area and I'm actually considering on getting cool sculpting done so if anyone has a PS in this area that you recommend, please let me know. So to date my waist is 27 1/2- 28" and my butt is 39 1:2. Not much change but certain my butt could get bigger if the fat to my bra area is removed. Any way should I actually go through more PS, I'll let you all know. Good luck to those of you who are considering Butt lift surgery. Signing off!!

6 month postop with pics
Hi ladies. I took meaduremts today. My butt is 40 1/2" and my waist is 29". I was happy to see the added inch toy butt, however not so much around my waist. Thought this lipo was permanent. I have a follow up next week. I'll keep you posted. Not opposed to having that spot smatlipo'd. Sri have the 1" dimple on my left butt cheek but go figure. My husband things that gives it an even more natural look.

Again sorry for typos. I'm on date night and not wearing my reading glasses. They say the eyes are the first to go. Lol.

Sis you looks damn sexy butt and every looks amazing
January 7, 2015
You look great are you still wearing your garment?
January 8, 2015
I don't wear my faja but I do wear a spanx about 50 percent of the time. Unfortunately though
Unlike you I didn't have my upper back or bra areas done and I'm noticing more fat accumulation in thoughs areas so I'm going back to have that done as I'm 7 mos now. As far as my measurements go, my waist fluctuates from 27.5-28.5 and my butt is 39-40. At times I wish I'd done those other areas for a bigger bottom but I'm only 4'11" so this looks good for me right now. Good luck with your recovery. Sounds like you went in a little more prepared for your postop phase. If I do decide to go back for more, I now have better healing tips from you. Thanks and take care.

Oh ok I was just asking because I'm 5'2 and I didn't want my waist to get too small I was a 32 pre op and now 27-27.5 at a lil over 2 weeks post. I stopped wearing in 23/7 and wore it at night or during the day but not both because I didn't want to look sickly. Then I talked to one of the nurses about it ( I hadn't even gone down from the medium garment I was in and was afraid to do so) she told me to gain 5 lbs (with boost/ensure) and wear the garment 23/7 to "mold" me but get more inches back on my hips so I'm trying that now. Thought I'd share that as well !

So are you saying you're waist was getting too small because that happened to me and my clothes starting sagging in the waist too much so I just went from the faja to the spanx instead. Since, I've held at 27.5-28.5 depending on whether or not I've over indulged which I did over the holidays. I'm a foodie!!!!! It's back to the gym but not so much for intense cardio more for keeping my butt muscle nice and firm/toned. I've found that helps keep it nice and full/round.

Yes ! Just this past Monday I felt my 27.5-28 waist looked perfect. I was trying on tight dresses at a boutique and said to myself "that waist size was perfect" the owner even said I looked good in all his clothes. Then the next day I had my garment on all day at work no foam and I could tell it was beginning to fold on the sides. I got home and took it off and the folds we're going under my ribs and I measured myself and I was 27 inch ! I wanted to cry so I immediately got some Abolene and massaged it into my sides trying to loosen up my skin and get the creases out and they started coming out. The next day I didn't wear my garment at all !! And now I'm 28 inch. I started the boost plus yesterday wearing the garment with foam on the sides all day and I think that's working. Yesterday I was 43.5 in the hips today I'm 44 ! So I want to get to 44.5 or 45 and keep my waist at 28. I may go ahead and get a smaller garment to keep my waist small and my cheeks out !!

Sounds like a plan. I'm hoping that once I get the tensing fat liposuctioned from my upper back and bra rolls removed any additional fat that I gain will start going directly to my bottom. I haven't seen your pics but just with the measurements you've listed, I'm sure you look fabulous. I'm working at getting to wear you are. Good luck with your remaining recovery. Oh by the way, did your doc do smart lipo or only tumescent?
January 9, 2015
I meant remaining fat, not sure where tensing came from. And also "want to get where you are", not wear. Lol. Sorry for typos.
January 9, 2015
I actually ended up wearing the x-small garment and that left indentations and starting creating rolls with every inch I lost, so I stopped wearing that one too. That's when I went directly to the spanx. My skin isn't exactly totally smooth but again, I'm 50 have had two kids and a c-section so I feel considering all that and the fact that I opted out of not having a tummy tuck, my results overall aren't that bad. All things considered. I do have the right side that still has a pocket of fat that needs to be removed so that's why I'm having my upper back and bra roll fat removed at the same time.
January 9, 2015
Ok girlfriend I was able to look at your pics. OMG!!!!!! You look amazing. Now I really wish I had done a little bit more. Maybe I'll see what he can do with the back fat. We'd talked about doing it while I'm awake but that's just lipo. Did you have your bbl under general anesthesia?
January 9, 2015
Thank you ! "Yes general" you definitely look great as well, I'm learning as I go too ! I havent seen ANYONE complain about getting too small so I figured I'd look for someone small that was much further into the process to ask! Thank you so much for the help and the info about the XS too !
