BBL W/ Dr. Hasan January 7th, 2016!! - Miami, FL

Long time no talk ladies!!

I am officially a little over a year post op from my BBL. I am still one million percent happy with EVERYTHING. Everything feels totally back to normal, even thought my hips took FOREVER to lose that numb feeling, almost 9 months! I now sleep on my back/sides as often as I want to. I'm used to the feeling now and it doesn't seem strange, or like I'm sleeping on something unnatural. I was really scared after I first started sleeping on my hips and butt, constantly checking if there was any reduction in size or shape. But everything has held up 100% and I don't worry at all anymore. I completely feel normal and natural and like this is my body now.

Hips/Booty still measuring 44.5, sometimes 45 on a chubby day lol. I stopped wearing my faja and wraps 24/7 at around 6 months post op. When I stopped, my waist measurement was at 24'' and stayed there for a while. But it has gone back up to 26''. I haven't gained any weight or stopped working out at all, but it's simply just from not wearing the compression anymore. I wore my foams/board/ace bandages and faja for SO long and SO tight that it basically worked like corset training. My floating ribs came forward and made my waist smaller than it naturally is, bone structure wise. But when I stopped that 24/7 severe compression my ribs slowly moved back into place and I gained those inches back. It doesn't bother me at all, but in the future I might get into corset training if I want to get back to that really exaggerated small waist again by moving my floating ribs back.

I just really can't say enough how much I love this procedure and Dr. Hasan. You really can have the body you want if you take the time and find the right doc.

Next I gotta talk my husband into letting me get boobs LOL! Good luck girls, and take care of yourselves!

Hey Dolls!

So I'm sorry I never got around to doing a 4 month post op review, but I am about 5 days away from being 5 months post op.

Stats:

Waist: Still 24''
Hips: Still 44.5''
Fat Thighs: Still 25.5'' each

So no change in my measurements at all. No, I do not believe in the "fluff" myth lol. What has definitly happened though is that my butt has dropped a little. Immediately post op it was very high. It's still perky and high, but has come down and I now have a cuff, where I never had one before. I think I first noticed my cuff around month 4. Other than that, the shape is the same.

My abdomen feels 100% normal and I have no lipo lumps or bumps. I did self massages 2 x a day until 3 months post op, then I quit. My sides and lower back are no longer numb, but have a burning sensation when I get swollen (yes I still swell when I'm out of my faja all day or over night). My booty is for sure 100% soft and jiggly. That [RS bleep] is straight out of control back there when I'm in a light jersey skirt, even if I'm just walking normal. My husband is like omg control that thing! Hahaha! The bottom half of my booty cheeks feel totally normal, like nothing ever happened. But the middle/top have ongoing burning/stinging sensations that almost feel like the hot lava right after surgery, but in the butt. I'm 99% sure it's just nerve pain and result of my nerves reattaching and growing into places they never were before so I'm not worried. My hips are the only area that are still numb to the touch. There isn't pain, but it's totally numb still when I run my fingers over them. They have not shrunk down at all, still wide and beautifully curved.

For month 3 to month 4 I sat intermittently for only short periods. Just trying to get used to the feeling of sitting on my butt. It felt like I was sitting on something. Around month 4 I started sitting normally and basically all the time as usual. I am used to how it feels now, and it doesn't feel abnormal at all. I still sleep only on my stomach, never on my sides or my back. I think this is why my hips have held up so well, girls are sometimes too quick to move onto their sides. I have layed on my back and sides briefly, just kind of rolling over. I know at this point I can't really hurt my booty, but with the burning/lighting feeling in my butt and the numbness in my hips, I just plain don't like the way it feels laying like that. It's really uncomfortable and I prefer to just continue to lay on my tummy. I do hope one day I can sleep on my back again, I am a total back sleeper 100% of the time so this has been extremely difficult.

I have been working out every day since my month 3 mark. That's still going great. No change or shrinking of the butt. I still am not running though, out of paranoia. I do a steep incline walk for 30 minutes and then about 45 minutes of weight training every day and it feels great to work my body.

In terms of diet, my weight is about 3-5 lbs above my surgery weight, depending on the day. I track my calories and try to stay around 2000 a day. I am happy with my body shape and don't want to lose weight, but I do NOT want to gain weight either. I'm not trying to mess up my results. If I start getting into the 5lbs gained range I do the 3 day military diet and get myself back under control, then resume eating normally.

It is finally summer here and the attention is REALLLLL!! Winter had me feeling incognito with all my heavy pants and puffy jackets and stuff. But these warm temperatures have me in crop tops and dresses and skirts and people are staring like I cannot believe. Like borderline disrespectful, blatant gawking lol. Makes me want to jump down their throat sometimes lol. One girl tried to start a rumor at my job that I got butt implants... girl bye. No one knows about my surgery and people at my job like me better than her so they all came and told me right away and I called her out. Other than that, no one I know has mentioned anything, even though I catch them staring and wondering what is going on lol. I'm lucky that I am, and have always been, a total gym rat. So the gym excuse is easier for them to believe.

Thats about it for now. I am totally one million percent in love and satisfied with my results!

Hey dolls! Here (a little late) for my 3 month update.

Stats:

Waist is down to 24" Ommmmmgggawd!
Booty holding strong at 44.5''!!
Fat thighs: 25.5'' smdh lol

Well since arriving at 3 months I have started sitting for little bits of time throughout the day. Nothing too major, 3 minutes here or there. At this point I'm pretty used to kneeling or standing but I'm trying to break it in a little lol. Still sleeping on my stomach though, again mostly out of habit. It feels weird to sit. Not pain, but like I sat on something accidentally that needs to be moved lol. I'm just not used to the feel of the extra meat down there.

Started back to working out for real at exactly 3 months, I couldn't wait, I was dying to get back at it. I'm doing a program with lots of lunges/squats/jumping drills so I was a little concerned at first but it's been 8 days and everything is status quo with the booty. The first day of the program was an INTENSE leg day and I haven't worked legs in 3 months so literally for 2 days after I was LIMPING around like Frankenstein ommmmggg my poor booty and hamstrings lol I thought I broke my [RS bleep] for sure hahaha, but after a couple days it loosened up like usual and everything is fine. No change in booty measurement, but still trying to do more weight lifting/muscle building than cardio to avoid losing any fat. If my butt suddenly starts shrinking I will be stopping immediately. I am not running yet, Hasan really scared me about how running can affect the butt. I am doing a steep incline walk on my treadmill for 30 minutes a day with weights on my ankles and in my hands, just to get the heart rate good and high without stressing my bum too much. I have noticed some sharp pulling/burning pains in the top of my right cheek when I jump. It kind of freaked me out but it sort of feels like nerve pain so I don't know if it's just my nerves waking up or what. I'm keeping a close eye on it though, and if i start losing volume or anything, I'll be stopping with the high impact stuff.

I am still wearing my full tank/foams/board/triangle/ace bandages/waist trainer/faja ALWAYS when I'm at home. When I'm not working it's 24/7. When at work or out of the house still just using the thing garment. I think this regimen is why my waist is still shrinking so much and has gotten so small. I know it's a PAIN IN THE A** but compression is key dolls! Swelling is definitely lessened, but I still do puff up when I'm out of compression too long. Stomach and sides feel basically back to normal, but my lower back still burns, swells, and gets really tight sometimes. Bah!! I just want to be healed!

Nothing else to really report. Got some jeans from fashion nova and LOVE them, ordered 3 more pairs lol! It's warm out finally here so wore a crop top to the grocery store and my gawwwd the stares!!

Have a great day ladies!
