Hi Ladies, I underwent the Brazilian Butt Lift...
Hi Ladies,
I underwent the Brazilian Butt Lift 02/18/2015. I had liposuction done to my arms, flanks, abdomen, inner thighs and chin. Prior to surgery I was around 150 pounds, I am 5’5 and 25 years old. Generally I was in decent shape. I had an apple shape body, so most of my fat was cuddling in my midsection and flanks. That’s why I was so attracted to this procedure. It would give me the hour glass figure the gym couldn’t give me.
Anyway, I’m writing this lengthy review because I did not see anything on real self specifying the details of this procedure. Hopefully this will help someone with any question. Overall, I am VERY, VERY disappointed with my results. Read on if you’d like to know why.
I was traveling from NorCal a day before my procedure was scheduled. I was running on no sleep what’s so ever to make it on time; however, I waited over 3 and half hours to be seen by the doctor. Keep in mind, there is no street parking, you have to park in the garage and the meter is running at a costly price per hour. I remember paying up to $30-$40 if not more for every single time I was in the office. All of this for the lack of organization of the office and doctor.
The pre-op was super quick, I felt rushed. He was not focusing on me but rather on wrapping up the consult to get to something else. The lack of empathy was a bit nerve wrecking, considering I had already paid for the surgery and it was the following day. The next day I come in, keep in mind this is the day of my surgery and again I am waiting 3 hours THE DAY OF MY SURGERY. I was having a panic attack waiting this long, especially knowing that I was going to go under the knife soon. I was so upset with the wait. I had to sign last minute papers on the surgical table (unorganized). After I woke up, there was so much noise in the room, I couldn’t go back to sleep. I had many people invading my recovery space (which I also informed them about after I went back in for post-op). Imagine you’re waking up from surgery and theres two girls talking about what they had been texting each other about in your recovery space? Lack of empathy is once again demonstrated. I couldn’t hold it in, I started crying until my friend picked me up. She was concerned about why I was crying... I was still heavily sedated I couldn’t move my mouth/tongue and talk AT ALL.
My surgery was on a Wednesday. I came in that Saturday to get check out. It was very hard to sit or walk after the surgery so I was borderline fainting trying to take the garment off so that I could get checked out. The only person that stood out to me was Menal. She was sweet enough to come in to see me on a Saturday and she was the only one who was communicating with me properly. Shout out to you girl.
I developed some sort of rash all over my abdomen. The night before I went in, I tried calling the doctor, I couldn’t get in touch with him so some nurse called me back. He just said to take some ibuprofen. The rash was very very bad. Till this day you can see the dark stains all over my abdomen. Menal switched me out of that garment and put me into another. That helped calm down my reaction. I started to wear a tank top prior to zipping up the garment so my skin would be protected from the garment.
Now to the booty. I was swollen for about a week after, so I couldn’t really tell exactly how the results were. My waist looked more contoured but the booty wasn’t that impressive. I underwent a BBL because I wanted to shape my body, add some hips and booty. The results I wanted were more on the jessica biel or jen selter type, not Kim K. and he assured me that would happen. I am writing this two months post surgery and it just looks like I’ve done some squats. It’s NOT what I wanted. After paying close to 10k for this and putting my body through all of that trauma, I at least wanted to get the booty. I would have even let all of the other details of waiting so much slide if I would have gotten the booty I wanted. Rest assured you’d be reading a positive review now, not a negative one.
All in all, the booty is small, the curves are subtle BUT the damage is apparent and permanent.
I have hard tissue in shape of long lines all along my flanks and my left inner thigh is still numb. I’ve tried to massage, I’ve done dry brushing to stimulate my lymphatic system, I’ve taken arnica tables (6 bottles deep now) but nothing has helped. The sad part is that although I have undergone this procedure to increase my over all confidence I am now insecure about taking off my clothes and exposing these marks that are VERY noticeable. I hope I haven’t developed fibrosis or seroma. In addition to this, I have dark spots all over my body from the lipo. It’s all along my abdomen. I have a dark horizontal scar above my belly button. The lipo incisions are still open, visible and dark all around my body. I also have these horrible dark spots all over my abdomen. I really hate them.
That’s it for the review. I would have communicated all of this to them but they have not called me since. If you guys have any questions, feel free to reach out.
