quick update - loving my bod

Dr O have me such a lovely butt and hourglass shape. I feel great and love the way I look now compared to before sx. I wore a backless red drss for NYE and got so many compliments from everyone about how hot I was. Lol. This dress would never have looked hot before bbl, maybe a hot mess only, lol.

Current measurements
34D
27"
38.75"
I fluffed a little in the butt but I also fluffed in my stomach :(. Its still a little sore when I sit. I still get swollen every two days or when I eat something salty so. I still wear my garment and foams at night to sleep.

Im looking into getting coolsculting on my abs this summer to get rid of the fat left over in my abs. I'm still working out 4-5 times a week. Its been really hard to lose the fat and tone up my arms and thighs from the weight gain for sx. I've noticed that if i gain weight it quickly goes to my arms, face and inner thighs, the places that weren't lipoed. It also wants to go to my stomach and back cuz that is whete I naturally gained first...its just less noticeable then the other places due to the Lipo. So be careful, Lipo is not a free pass to eat what you want.

3.5 month update

Sorry I haven't updated much. Just been focused or recovery and work. Here is a quick pic. My butt looks much better, bigger with clothes on and its very natural. If you remember, I had to gain weight for my bbl and my goal was always to lose again after. I'm down to 125 lb now and butt is maintaining at 38.5 so I'm happy about that. I will probably reassess at 123 lbs, don't want to lose too much booty. My ideal weight before sx was 118, but not anymore! Now the fat is is the correct places :)

I'm wearing my garment and foams only at night now. By the end of the work day, I swell up still. Not much, but its there. Slowly going down every week. Waist is at 26.5-27". Legs are no longer swelling. Up until 2 weeks ago I still had to wear my compression socks. My butt still hurts when I sit on it or if someone hits it...I wonder if this is normal? Stomach us still lumpy and uneven but I'm trying to lose weight so that the stomach is smaller.

4 times a week I rebound while using my arm dumbells. I watch what I eat and count calories.

Dr. Ortega gave me a body I can be proud of and never would of had without the BBL!! He changed my body from boyish and boxy on top to hourglass and well proportioned.
