It turns out that I had an ok butt however my real problem was my hips( I didn't have any) what I consider hips were actually my thighs( future sattle bags ) my butt cheeks were square and that had to be removed ( the wet diaper look). This Doctor looked at me in a completely different way, none of of the other doctors had mentioned the hips, the shape of the cheeks, they just said they can make it bigger. What i really wanted was a shape. He also spoke to me about my skin and how that was going to change (none of the other doctors had mentioned anything about it) . He truly cares about his results, as he said to me " It's my reputation on your body". He did my hips and my butt. Another thing, a lot of the information regarding after surgery not being able to work for weeks and not being able to sit for 2 weeks that was not true at all I had it done on a thursday and I was in the office on the following Monday.

I believe you should follow your doctors instructions at all times. He is the expert and the one ultimately responsible for your results. I followed Dr. Pakeman's instructions it was simple and I didn't have any problems . Went right back to work and I was sitting in my booty right after surgery. Let the Doctor guide you thru the process. Respect his knowledge and experience that's my advice . My Doctor was always a phone call away even on the weekends if I had any questions. Having your Doctor answer your concerns and questions makes a big difference in how compliant you will be thru the recovery process. Good luck, sweetiepiee

Can you share what specifically the PS mentioned regarding skin changes? I went to a local PS who said that this would not require more than a couple of days of down time and he never mentioned not being able to sit on my butt. The girls in his office had the BBL procedure done and reported they were back at work the next business day (they used the weekend as part of the down time). Since joining RS, I have read stories of patients who were instructed to use a boppy pillow for a minimum of two weeks. In speaking with my Patient Coordinator, the direction was the same. Using a boppy pillow for x period of time seems to be the norm. Your results look very natural.

I had looked him up months ago when I was searching for a surgeon and it said he is an eye doctor. I couldn't believe that he was doing bbls and obviously didn't go for a consult. I am glad you are happy with your results though.
