I am now 10 days post op of my surgery. I had lipo on my upper and lower abdomen, upper and lower back. I feel a lot better NOW. The first 5 days were crucial. Still swollen but hoping my stomach swells down but not my booty. What hurts the most now is my lower back rather than the surgery itself. I took on to this procedure because I have always had a booty but was chunky. Im 5'6 and weight 200 but no one could tell. I went down to 161 and my ass left too. My stomach flattened out alittle, compared to hownitnwqs atv200 pounds but with the weightloss I still had the gut. All I wanted is a flatter stomach with no tummy tuck and pick up what fell. My booty. I DO NOT WANT A DIAPER BUTT. Im sorry if I offend anyone, I just dont like that Kim K or Black Chyna look. Its not for me. I was told I may need a tummy tuck after swelling goes down but I will try my best to work out to avoid that. But you never know. My wish is for a natural look. I am obsessed with Asa from Shas of Sunset. She is thick and curvaceous. So you can have an idea of what I see as a beautiful body. Im loving my results but then again Im only 10 days lost op. Im hoping the fat cells on my booty do not die but I understand a good 30 percent may go down which kind of sucks but thats not the Dr's fault. Thats my body
taking its course. So I will follow all instructions and hope for the best. I will post more pics as time goes on.

Good luck with your recovery doll. I just had BBL about a month ago. The toughest part for me is sleeping on my tummy and not sitting on my new booty. Keep us updated with pictures. ♡♡

How are you results now?

3 months post

Projection only on the top

Love_me_Asa
So I am alittle over 3 months. Overall I am happy with the results because I am able to wear some stuff that I would never even dare to look at before however, there is an issue. I have 2 dents on in the middle of each cheek. I thought it was just me however seeing some concerns from others, I see that others are probably experiencing the same thing. I am not able to wear certain dresses because the dent shows through the dress. Now, again the final result is nice (with clothes on) But I feel as if I spent 10K, I should love the way I look with anything and naked as well. This is not the case because of the dents. So it basically has more projection in top but flattens out mid cheek to the bottom. Im waiting on a staff member to see how they can help me with this. I hope they dont try to sell me another procedure because I believe for the amount of money that this was paid for, my expectations should have been above and beyond. Really hoping they work with me.

They still have not responded to my calls or emails

I had the same procedure with almost exact same results! They tried selling me a round #2 procedure at a discount price. I will not be revisiting Dr. Mendieta.Because he did not do his best for me! I've seen his work and my results were unacceptable from someone with his expertise. Not only that, his staff made sure they ignored a lot of my calls after I had my last scheduled post op appointment. I made the choice to allow him to perform my 1st procedure and there is no way I would be such a fool to go for s 2nd round with him as I am more educated with this procedure. I've found a very good PS that I'm happy with. Although I will be paying more than I would like, this time I'm really going with expertise. Besides, my gut is telling me that I made the right choice with my new PS.

Hi, do you mind saying who you've now chosen for your second time?
User Avatar
March 27, 2017
Yes no one has responded to me either. Kind of makes me not even want to go back. How much was the discounted price if you dont mind me asking? Because even if its half of the original price, thats still too much. It's not our fault. We paid good money for good results.

Thanks! I was thinking Salama but I dont even kmow anymore. The recovery process is holding me back..lol. Hope you get exactly what you want this time. Its sad to pay all this hardworking $$$ and cant even deliver what is promised.
March 27, 2017
Thank you and I agree. My appointment is not until December. Its taken me forever to save. I do believe I'll be pleased this time. By the way, my sister went to Salama in November of last year and he was 100% successful with her dents.

I read that salama burned a girl , I saw the pictures here :(
I hear blisky is good , I was going to be an appointment with him but I was in a rush to get the surgery so I did it with Mendieta for 2 time , what I'm not happy with is the fat on my calf it hurts like crazy and I don't see improvement :( how much did u pay w Mendieta

$9k....pretty pricey. I know a few who went to Salama and Lagrasso. Great results. Let me know who you chose. Looking to have breast implants.
March 28, 2017
I think we had surgery same day with same dr ... he is good I'm loving my body now ...the only thing is that I had a fat transfer on my calf too and is killing me but my body no pain ...it been 2 weeks today and I feel better and happy for results ...he does nice buts not kim k busts to big for my style either
March 28, 2017
My belly doesn't look perfect either but I had 2 babies ...and they tried to do a tummy tuck and I was going to do it but I change my mind and I think that is why he didn't removed enough fat from my stomach . The 1 time I did my procedure was perfect but is undertablebto that I had a 2 baby and I have an hernia ...I can complain it looks good of what it was before

Thank you. Well they still havent responded butnin all honesty I am satisfied. The dent got alittle better but its still there. I now sit and sleep comfortably so thats refreshing! How are you enjoying your results? At times I want it bigger but then peoole tell me it looks natural so dont over do it. Hopefully you are able to show off your body!!!

Hey, I also have dents, but also got diaper booty. OMG! Freaking sucks, like my nightmare, i hate fake looking diaper booties, and now I have one. Can't wear any of my old dresses or anything. been a year... the dents didn't go away either. I had expensive hydrolic acid injected into them.. four rounds. Better, but will only last a year and will have to keep redoing. I'm looking for a round two to fix the over lipo under the butt problem and dents. I'm thinking of Dr. Coleman cause apparently he specialized in revisions. We'll see. Good luck. If you fix the dents more permanently, pls let us know how you did it.
