Here is what you need to know post op
You're going to be miserable!
Yup. Pure misery.
Laying on your stomach that has just been lipo for the sake of your new bum.
You are going to drain. Bleed so much for a good 24 hrs. I did not have drains because Dr. Alvarez does not use drains and to be honest, it's the best method. Let your body do what it needs to do on its own. My friend used drains and got an infection.
I drained for 24 hrs, then I urinated everything else out. I was in the bathroom every hour. Your body will do the rest.
You will need arm strength to pull yourself up. Going to the bathroom every hour belive me built muscles in my arms. Pushups for days ( I feel for those getting bbl and arms lipo)
Now, I did say you will be miserable as hell. Don't just stay in bed. Move around go outside and get some fresh air. You will go crazy if you stay in bed.
I went back to work a week after surgery. No point of being home on my stomach.
Arms go numb from sleeping that way. I have tingling in both my hands.
Itching!!!!!!!
Get ready to itch. You know if you have ever had a yeast infection? That itchiness you just can't scratch? Well, that'sounds how your torso will feel. You will be irritated as hell. Get your Benadryl because I have warned you already. The itch can make you cry.
What else do I need to let you guys know. Try to find creative ways to not have to lie on your stomach. I have sectional couch and my boyfriend split themy in half just enough for me to put my butt in between the space, so I can eat and watch T.V like normal people lol.
My butt
It's only 1 week and it's big. Looks like I've been doing squats for 20 years. However, its hard. Although i heard in a month it gets soft. My torso is shrinking everyday.
I will keep you updated as I am going through my changes.

You look amazing! I can believe you went back after one week post. Do you have a sitting or standing job? Im having my BBL early 2018. Im a food sever and walk between 5-6 miles a day with this job. What's your opinion on returning back to work?

Your results look great! How much cc did he end up putting in each butt cheek?

Thank you. He told me between 750 to 1,000 in each cheek depending on how much was needed.

Do you notice a big difference ? I sent in my pics and they told me I may be too skinny :( but other doctors tell me different ; and by looking at your pix u look way slimmer than me ... I heard he is a great doctor that's why I wanted to go to him but I lost hope :(

Did you send your pics along with wish pics? Because I was told I'm a good candidate for bbl but would need to gain weight for my wish pic (which wasn't really what I would consider a huge ass something more or less what Kylie Jenner is working with now lol)

I was told to gain more it was too hard. When he marked me up he didn't even think he could get 1 liter from me. After surgery he told me he actually got 2 liters. So sometimes they underestimate us slim girls. If you can grab your stomach I feel like there's enough fat.

You look great! I'm also what's considered slim for a bbl (5'3" 120lbs) I was told I'm a good candidate but need to gain some wait for a real noticeable difference so working on the weight which isn't that easy. I've been speaking to someone at Dr alverez office they have an option called cell saver treatment (from what I understand saving saving some of your own blood pre sx to then transfuse it back into you right after) to help with recovery did you try this?

No I did not. I don't think you need it. Are you anemic? The recovery you will lose alot of blood within the 1st 24 hrs but you should be fine. I just took iron.

Thanks for the reply no I'm not anemic it was just an option offered to me for an additional 500$ but I've never heard of anyone doing it before, I think I'll be fine without it just wanted to look into it thanks again you look great btw
