Hi everyone it's been a little over 4 months since my surgery so I've decided to update my progress. The positives to me having this surgery is that I actually have a butt! Lol, I'm very curvy to which I've being getting a lot of attention. Im pleased with my smaller waist and my curvier figure. However the negatives that I will address to my doctor when I see him is that I have developed a little bit of cellulite on my butt to which I've never had before (maybe some of my fat reabsorbed unevenly, idk). But that's not my worst concern, what my worst concern that I do plan on getting a retouch up whether its from markmann or someone else (because it's def gonna happen in the following year of 2013) is that my hips are uneven. That's the real major issue that bothers me a lot, my left hip (ur right) is square and longer while my right hip (ur left) is rounder and shorter. I need to get this corrected (hopefully my left hip will match up to my right rounder hip) then I will be happy as a clam. This sucks because I took 4 months off of work to heal properly and didn't sit for 2 so it sucks that I will have to take more time off and spend more money to fix this -.-

OMG you look amazing! Perfect hourglass! How do you like your results after over a year since surgery?? Was he able to correct the small lumps under the armpit area? (did he charge for this?) Do you recommend gaining weight or losing weight before hand? (does Dr M give better results from being thinner or thicker?)

Hi everyone I just moved back in with my bf yday, good to be home again lol. Its been 5 and a half weeks since my bbl and so far I haven't say down down even for the bathroom, I try not to bend too much although it's hard when my leg is Itchy and I'm laying down :/. I still sleep on my stomach although it's soo uncomfortable and I'm still not use to it. I'm 75% happy so far with my results although there r a lil things I would fix. Pros r that I don't look like sponge bob anymore with a square body lol, so far my double butt crease is still filled in thank god, most of my body is lumpy free especially my stomach (very smooth) and I'm happy he convinced me to have lipo under my butt giving me more of a rounder appearance. The cons r that I have some lumpiness/dent on my left dorsal roll but hopefully itll smooth out with time, I feel like the sides of my waist is a little uneven, like one side was lipo a little more then the other side. My left hip is a little more rounder then my right hip. And although my butt is a much better improvement from what it was, I wish it was a little more rounder and projected more towards the center. I got to try on some sweatpants and skirts with the help of my bf of course since im trying not to bend too much, and sweatpants that use to sag on my butt can barely fit now. Some of my skirts look nice on me and some of them I'm going to have to give away because it rides up too much from the back or doesn't fit my waist line anymore since its too big. My stretchy shirts looks so cute on me now (unlike when I had a gut that I had to hold in), however though I'm def going to have to go shirt shopping in 2 months because a lot of them look baggy on me now that I have a smaller waist (I'll keep them to use for the gym when I'm ready months from now). With time well see how my body changes.

Great improvement from before! He gave you nice curvy hips & I hardly see any of your liposuction marks. Your results will get better in time. What type of heated personal massager did you use, because your stomach is smooth for 1 month post-op?
May 5, 2012
Thank u enjoyself, I loved ur updated pics u r smoking hot! I bet u get a lot of head turns :). I actually do have lipo marks there just small red dots, 1 dot by my elbows, 1 dot in the middle of my back, and about 7-9 dots around my butt, it's harder to capture on film, plus I put some scar guard liquid on them so he flash is reflecting on them as white scabs lol. As for the heated massager I actually took my dads massager that he doesn't use anymore so idk how much it cost but it's from conair, it's a long blue massager with a round flat metal plate that has a heating button and a slow and fast vibrating speed. I try to use it everyday, mostly focus on my stomach and sides.

Thank u for the compliments! Yeah, I get too much stares & attention, lol. I'm sure you too will be getting a lot of heads turning. Well that personal massager is really great in keeping your tummy so smooth & lump free. Why you have lipo mark on your elbow?
May 5, 2012
Aww but u have to understand y? These ppl probably haven't seen a supermodel body in ages ;). I got marks on my elbows because he lipo my arms although I didn't have much fat to begin with but every drop counts :p. plus if I gain weight at least my arms won't get as big
May 7, 2012
Aww, stop it, I don't have supermodel body. I'm petite 5' 3 1/2" & more curvy than the average tall lanky supermodels. But thank you anyways for the kind words. I don't see fat on your arms BEFORE the lipo, so does your arms hurt after lipo & are you happy you lipo'd your arms? I just sent you private massage. Happy healing!!!
May 7, 2012
Still look hot hot regardless :). I t didn't have much fat on my arms to begin with, I just did it to get extra fat for my bbl, to me my arms look the same and yes it hurt very much, there still sensitive to the touch to this day lol
