Before my kids, I used to have a nice round and perky butt. After giving birth to my second child, however, my butt lost its natural volume and became saggy. After doing tons of research I decided to go to Dr. Constantino Mendieta and booked the procedure with him. Today I'm 19 days post op and things are starting to fall into place little by little. The first week was hell and all I did was cry. I had the drains removed at day 7 and I still need to take Percocet to be able to sleep at night. I'm not 100 % sure how many cc's he put in, but He told me he was going to put only 290, because I'm only 5 feet and I only weight 110 pounds.

They look great..congrats..what shape and cc did u get?
April 10, 2016
Thank you. I got round implants. I'm not sure about the cc's. He said he was not going to go over 300, so I think he probably put 290 or 300. I will find out in my next follow up visit and I'll make sure to let you know.

You look great!

Thank you!!

You're most welcome.

Can you tell me if there was a single incision for both implants, as he advertises this on his website? And i believe the phone estimate i got was 14k for implants... does this sound correct? Thanks.
April 10, 2016
No. He does it through two separate incisions to avoid putting tension on the wound. His technique, however, is incredible. I'm not able to see the incisions if I don't open my butt cheeks with both hands. As for the price, yes, that is correct, he is the most expensive in town, I believe.

Thanks for the info. I am willing to pay a premium to have less obvious scars than those i see from patients of the popular LA Butt Dr. Can you tell me if your incisions are in the upper portion of the buttocks inside the cheek area or in the lower portion. The drains look like they are in the lower portion which i would prefer to make them more discrete.
April 18, 2016
The incisions are in the upper portion of my buttocks, inside the cheek area. If you want the incision to be invisible you need to find a Dr who places the implants through one single incision in the middle.

20 days post op.

Today I am 20 days post op. Can't wait to be able to drive again. I think the healing process is going well. My incisions look good and my butt is not swollen anymore, only a little bit hard. My mobility has improved 90 %. I think I can walk almost normal now. I'm still taking it very easy and resting as much as I can.

You look incredible!! Do you have any before pics by chance? I know it's a big difference from your before body. How long before you can sit? Again you look sooo Assume! :-)
April 11, 2016
Thank you very much. Yes, I do have before pictures, and I'm planning to upload them, I just have to find them. Lol, I should be sitting already ( using a pillow for support, of course) but I want to wait a few more days before I give it a try. Thanks again.
April 11, 2016
You look great. Congrats and happy healing. Would love to hear how "comfortable" they feel once you've healed a bit more.
April 11, 2016
Thank you. They really get more and more comfortable each day, but at three weeks post op I can still definitely feel the implants, especially the right one. The left feels already softer. I will keep you posted.

Dr. Mendieta doesn't do but implants anymore
June 12, 2016
Really? Since when?? He just did mine. Are you sure??

Yes. I had a Skype consult w him in May and he said he doesn't do them now due to infection rate. He told me to gain 15 to 20 pounds for fat transfer. I don't want to do that to my body, so booked w Dr. Stanton.
June 13, 2016
Wow! When I went to my consult he also suggested that I gain weight, but I told him that wasn't going to happen.... So we went with implants and I didn't have any problems. Maybe talking to him in person makes a difference because he can see that you really can't get weight even if you try. ( that was my case). I wish you all the best for your surgery with Dr. Stanton.

Thank you.
April 13, 2016
You look amazing. Love your shape. Im looking for a surgeon can do the same for me. My story is the same like you. Round butt before kids now ts saggy and I gained weight. Im 5 tall and 120 pounds but I want BBL and if he can lift my butt and make it rounded it again!
April 13, 2016
Thank you. If you have enough fat, the BBL is always the best option. My only choice was implants because I had no fat to transfer at all.
