It's been several years since I've posted. My goal was to give an update on myself for a reasonable amount of time following the surgery, but it took some time to see the full results. I didn't want to post prematurely. Then I got really busy. Following the surgery I noticed a couple flaws that I called the doctor's assistant about. She assured me the flaws would be no issue and that my body was still healing. The issue was that my hips were 2 different shapes, one round and one more pointy. One hip was also slightly higher than the other. She insisted that it was just due to swelling and water from the surgery and it would all look normal once I healed. I also noticed that the way my belly fat was liposuctioned, it left belly fat over my belly button so it tended to look a little odd when wearing cropped shirts. She told me, in the nicest way should could, that I did not order liposuction, I ordered a aurgery which harvested fat from a desired area and was used to give me a better shape, so their goal is not to necessarily make my stomache look nice, but to make it look nice enough. Fair enough, I thought. I wasn't happy to hear that, but I understood. That being said, at the time of my visit to Dr Ghurani, I knew he had just went off on his own and started his own practice. I also knew that the reason I chose Dr Ghurani was, despite the fact that he used drains which have been know to leave scars, he, in my opinion, was not only skilled, but he had a good eye for what looks sexy and I hadn't seen too many doctors with his level of talent at the time. No offense to anyone else, but I didn't want the King Magazine girl look. In other words, I did not want my booty sitting on my back. I told him I wanted it tastefully large, not clown large and he knew just what to do. We did away with all my inspiration pics because ultimately I just wanted to look like the best version of me. Despite how I felt about his assistant's response time, Dr Ghurani had good bedside manner, good sense of humor, and was a class act through and through. I freaked out a bit about sitting the wrong way following surgery and maybe called in to the assistant one too many times about what I thought was permanently damage to the injection site (it was actually just cellulite coming back! Lol. They don't go away!). But my other issues were legit. What I saw stuck so I will need to go back under a knife and have it fixed. But, overall, if I could go back in time, I would still give Dr Ghurani 5 stars across the board because imperfections happen, he is talented as hell, and nothing he did was so horrid that I couldn't bare to look at myself. He improved my look and I look better, to this date, that I ever did before. Quite frankly he's in the office with another great doctor who did a girl's butt whom I ran errands with afterward (she's a model) and lets just say, based on our feedback from men (and women), mine looked the best. To this date, no one ever asks me if I had my butt done. They asked her(we're still cool), but they never ask me. That's the best part about what he did. He is not your average doctor, he has artistic talents that are unmatched. I will still need to have scars removed and other fixes but again. Nobody ever notices.

Some updates---I ran out of the ointment my dermatologist gave me which was basically just an anti-bacterial ointment. So since my wounds appear to be completely closed and are no longer itchy (except the one in my butt every blue moon), I began using the Bio Corneum silicone cream that I got from Ghurani's office again yesterday. I've been taking my multi-vitamins again on a regular basis along with vitamin c (which promotes healing). And over the last couple of days, I have noticed that my scars appear to be taking on a normal color. They were white and/or a bright pink. They are still raised though. As a matter of fact, the scars on my butt appear to be slightly raised now but not keloids. My guess is that these will go down. The drain scar and incision scar near my bikini line looks like it is keloiding but the compression garment is helping alot with remedying this so I'm not going to worry about them. They are not bad either though. I also hear that this is normal for the first several months and that they will very likely flatten on their own. I also encourage them to flatten by massaging them everyday (all of them). I'm not using the castor oil anymore. I'd rather use the silicone cream which has been tried and true by other people. My back isn't as stiff so sleeping is getting better. My body isn't stiff when I get out of bed in the mornings. My bruises are still here! I can't believe it either. But they are much, much lighter. I bought another tube of Arnica Gel not too long ago and it looks like I might have to get another. But from the looks of my bruises, I think that will be it. I also decided to get a bottle of bromelain. This lightened my bruises almost immediately following my first dose. The acid from the pineapples were starting to make my mouth sting so I stopped eating those as much but I'm still drinking pineapple juice. Not getting all my water intake but I am still getting down about 45oz a day---I guess that's better than nothing. My waist is still 28 3/4", hips have gone up--43 3/4" which might be due to swelling since I didn't have the bottom part of my garment altered. I just wear my squeem over it. I wear a small squeem vest now on its last hooks. I've been eating pretty crappy lately but start my diet this week, I think. I'm still getting 2 massages per week like clockwork and have about 4 more to go before I'm complete and I am looking for to it. I miss my old masseuse--he is sexy and masculine with strong hands and I'm looking forward to him massaging my new booty. I can't say the same for this new masseuse. Well...that's all for now. I will post more pics soon. Later ladies.

Thank you, darling! And dont worry. You'll be fine. Its all about choosing the right doctor that can give you your optimum results but also cares about your health. I just so happened to have hit the jackpot with Ghurani. And no...I havent worked out yet. I was advised to wait a minimum of 6 weeks. So im gonna give it till after christmas.
