30 Years Old in Desperate Need of BBL

Thank you! I'm super happy with my flat tummy and hips but not so much with the projection of my butt :/ I am about 90%. I still have itching in my flanks. That was probably the worst part for me. I pray all goes well with you! Please let me know how it goes. I'll be following you!!!

Thank you so much for responding. I will do my best to document this journey (hopefully I won't chicken out). I am still trying to figure out how imma not sit on my investment for 2 weeks. I'm sure my back and neck will be on fiyah. Not sure how to navigate the 2.5 hr plane ride home either. Please let me know if you have any tips.

So at about 3 months post op you feel like you are about 90% back to normal? How long did the swelling part last? Did he liposuction your arms too? Do you feel like you kept any of the fat he injected into your bubble? Gurrrrl, that flat tummy is everything. How bad was the pain? I hope mine is manageable because I don't feel like listening to my husband say, "I told you not to do this." Sounds like the tape was the devil, but it did what it was supposed to. I think I will have a similar issue with loose skin...I'm just trying to avoid a tummy tuck. I hope you get back to your old self soon. Keep following, posting, and responding.

Yes, you have no idea how horrible my stomach was before. It is truly unbelievable how flat it is. And I don't even have loose hanging skin, so yes, the tape is worth it. Lol. That's why I chose Dr. Perry because above all else, I needed this tummy flat and he more than delivered. The pain wasn't a big issue for me. I didn't even take any of my pain meds. It's the stiffness and having difficulty maneuvering in and out of bed. And the itching! OMG!! I found nothing that helped with it and I still have it to this day. Lol. But it's much much better. I feel like I have something left in my butt because it jiggles. It is much bigger but I just have the same shape as before. I want it to be rounder. I may go back for a round 2. And I also know I didn't follow the instructions strictly because I went back to work and had to sit some although I did use but BBL pillow. I had short flights as well but with connections. I just tried my best to sit with my bbl pillow under my thighs. I did get uncomfortable but it wAs tolerable. I ended up with a window seat so you may want to try for an aisle so you can get up and walk around some. At the end of the day, I'm sooooo much happier and I would do it all over again without hesitation. I have continued with my weight loss. I don't know if that has anything to do with my butt or not? I'm down to 210. That's 20 lbs down since surgery. I'm sure you will be fine! Your husband is going to be more excited about your new body than you after the recovery - TRUST ME! LOL! So tell him to chill out. Lol!!!! Keep your questions coming. Im happy to answer :)

Oh I did not have my arms lipo. I decided against it because I needed them desperately to maneuver around. I don't see how people do it with getting arms lipo'd too. And I actually still have some swelling in my low back and in my stomach. I still wear my garment sometimes.

I'll be praying for you!!! Please let me know how it goes as soon as oh are able!

Got in to FLL really late last night. Now I'm In the car on my way to my pre op and to meet "the man" in person. I'll keep you posted. Keep the prayers coming too!

I'm so happy for you!!! Yessss the draining is CRAZY! I drained horribly for like 4 days :/ I forgot to mention that part. We sound like twins! I had dizziness and lightheadedness too! Drink plenty of fluids! Keep me posted! I pray your recovery is speedy and uneventful! Are you in much pain??

I thought I was doing good until I went to my post op! Lott Jesus when they took that tape off

Right!!!! Yes, it is truly the most excruciating part!! But I promise, our results will be worth it!!!

Today is day 4. Haven't been in a lot of pain just really blah. No appetite, trouble getting my water in. Not looking forward to my massage today or my tape change. I just want it to be over.

I stayed for for 6 days. I felt better after about 2 weeks. I went back to work after 10 days. How are you feeling?? You have to drink drink drink!!! I know it's hard....

How was the tape and your massage? I know how you feel!! Praying for you!!

I still feel pretty crappy and tomorrow is day 6 (26 July) for me. Not pain per se just blah. I can hear the fluid rolling around in there. He is insisting that I eat more protein... like a couple bites every hour. I never thought I would know what it feels like to have absolutely no appetite but this is where I am. Still draining but not as bad.

Day 4 was full of activity. Tummy felt miserable on the morning so I was able to muster up a poop (tmi) without assistance. Took garment off and showered over tape cast it felt good to be fresh and clean again. Massage with Carmelita at 2. We got there a little late so that time was deducted off of my 60 minutes with her. Massage felt surprisingly good. I must say it was very strange hearing and feeling the fluid under my skin moving around. Her technique was to start with me facing down and she would push the fluid outwards, from the center of my back to my sides and around front then eventually express the fluid out of the incisions in my groin. I only grimaced on pain once. After I finished there I walked over to dr Perry's office for my follow up with him. Dr P fussed st me about not eating enough. Then he tortured me with some crazy [RS bleep] he called a massage. Then they took off my tape corset. Holy moley

Awwww man. Yea his "massages" are the worst. And the tape, omg. I became physically ill every time he touched me post op. Lol. I hope you continue to feel better. Please continue to take your iron too because I'm sure you probably lost a lot of blood. My hemoglobin dropped to like an 8 so that always makes you feel crappy. It's just going to take time but I promise, one day, you're gonna be like "I feel better!". Do you like your results so far?? I know it's hard to say early on....

As you mentioned, he has little regard for patient pain...he is only concerned with end results. I almost passed the $&(@ out when he was taking the tape off. I had to take several breaks. The whole time he was removing the tape from my skin he was tellin me how tiny my waist is! To which I responded that I don't care. I think I like my results but right now I just want to feel better so I can get back home.

Yeeesssssss! We had the exact same experience!! The worst pain I've ever had in my whole life. How many days are you staying?? Your results will continue to get better and better :) and you will start feeling better soon too. I know it's hard to believe and it seems far away but you will :) praying for you!!!!!!

I think I finally turned the corner on day 7 (thanks for giving me encouragement and prayer). I stayed 8 days post op and traveled out early on the 9th day. Got home yesterday (7/29). I think I did too much with the flight, then one hour car ride home, unpacking and moving around. Today everything is terribly swollen, face, hands, feet, legs.

Also, what type of stage 2 garment did you end up getting?

Beautiful!!

Thanks!!!

Thank you!

Thank you!!

Right!! Lol. I had seen people mention it but it didn't seem to bother them as much as it did me. Hopefully your experience will be less painful than mine. Lol.

Hey hun, how's it going?? How are u Loving the new you? I'll be a perrydoll July 18th & I'm ALREADY filled with emotions lol

I am loving the new me! I'm most happy and amazed with my stomach I must say. I feel like the shape of my butt has changed and it's not as round as it once was :/ I'm still healing though. I thought I'd be closer to normal by now but I'm not. Still have pretty severe tearing pains in my sides when getting out of bed for some reason. I'm so excited for you!! I felt the same exact way! July will be here Before you know it! Please let me know if you have any questions about anything :)

Thank you! I had a very good experience with Dr. Perry. It's really not many recovery homes to choose from because his office is in Miramar which is about 30 minutes from Miami where most of the recovery homes are. I stayed at Maribel's recovery home. She was recommended by Nadege. She was amazing and her home was very nice. You can inbox me if you would like her contact info...

Thank you I text Nadege and she recommended Maribel's and gave me her number
