23 Years Old, 1 Baby, and Ready to Be a Mendieta Doll! - Miami, FL

By the way, a total of 4 liters of fat were removed and 1000 cc's per buttock were injected.

As far as my recovery process, it has continued to go smoothly and every day I feel better.

I do believe my shape looks much nicer than before but unfortunately I have noticed a significant decrease in my butt size. I honestly believe it's starting to look like it did before. And it's very scary considering I'm only 2 weeks post op. I have not sat on my butt and have been sleeping on my stomach as I was advised to. I am aware that fat reabsorption is based on genetics and I know everyone is different.

We will see how this turns out. I will keep you all updated.

P.S. Your opinions on my results would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to know how others feel about the amount of decrease in size. Am I incorrect for feeling like my butt is looking similar to how it did before?

Hello all, today I am 5 days post-op and the swelling is starting to decrease significantly. Day 1 was the worst for me. I have to state that the entire staff was great with making me feel at ease and less nervous about my procedure. They were truly amazing! The pain was manageable and the pain killers were a big help, it was just the discomfort of only being able to lay on my stomach all day long. On day 1 I had Gatorade, some chicken stock and a bit of purè later that day. Since then, I have been drinking lots of fluids and eating healthy snacks that are high in protein every three hours. So far, my recovery experience has been better than I expected! All of our bodies are different and handle shock differently!

As for the physical results so far, I am happy! I know I still have a long way to go before I get to see my final results but I am in love with the waist and shape I now have! My butt appears much more full at the top which was one of my main concerns. And the foam triangle I am to wear under my garment is suppose to help with the curve in the lower back, giving more projection.

Dr. Mendieta removed fat from my arms, abdomen, back, flanks and inner thighs. This allowed him to inject 1000 cc's in each buttock. I will continue to keep you all posted throughout my journey! :) Please feel free to comment or ask anything!
