9 months post
It's been 9 months. Plenty of time to see my final results. Before I go out seeking a round 2 elsewhere, I think it's fair that I call Jolie and let them know my concerns and disappointments. My abdomen is uneven and has indentations. There wasn't nearly enough fat taken out to get a "snatched" look as I was told I would receive when I submitted my photos for my consultation. I'm going to call them and send my most recent pictures over and see if something can be done about this. I understand that no surgery is perfect but I believe I am owed better results than this. Even after a few months, I called and expressed my concerns about my waist. I was told that by 6 months, I would have my desired results. It turns out that my concerns weren't swelling. It was a huge amount of leftover fat and my right side is significantly "fatter" than the left. You can look at the pics in my last post and see the issues. It's not right. Hopefully, they'll offer me a revision and I can get this fixed. I just want what I paid for.

6 months post
It’s been 7 whole months since my BBL and I’m feeling pretty good about my body. The fluff fairy is real and she did come to visit me this time. My booty is a lot juicier than a couple months ago and I’ve kept my weight down. I managed to keep a lot of the fat grafts to my hips. I slay in Fashion Nova jeans lol. Now on to the bad...fibrosis. I realize now why my waist isn’t as small as it should be. I have fibrosis on my upper abdomen and my flanks. It causes my stomach to protrude. I also still have a bit of swelling. I got the post op massages like I was supposed to however I think that not only did I have an ill fitting second stage Faja, I also didn’t wear it long enough. I actually should still be wearing it but it’s so annoying. My ideal plan would be to go back and get 2 massages a week and get a higher quality Faja. Since that’s not feasible for my current budget, I’m going to try self massaging and going back to faja and lipo foams or waist trainer. I’ve got to get my waist together before the summer. My ultimate plan would be a round 2 and have the fibrosis treated in Miami. Since I’m prioritizing my money better this year, round 2 isn’t at the top of my list. Once my budget permits, I’ve decided on Dr. Blinski. Can’t beat his amount of experience and his results are impeccable. Well worth the price. I’m going to try my best to find my handheld massager and see what results I get. Wish me luck!

On Thursday I will be 6 Months Post op. This is supposed to be the magic point where you see your final results. Overall, I give my results a 7.9 out of 10. I am happy with the size of my hips. I am happy with the shape of my butt. It’s a decent size. My body definitely looks very natural. No one suspected that I had any work done. My lower back looks great. He really carved out a nice curve there. There is much improvement to my overall shape which is why I give it a 7.9. I can’t give it an 8 or higher due to the amount of fat left. If you’ve read my previous posts, you know that my doctor only took 2800 CCs out of a max of 4000. I have no idea why. There is leftover fat in my upper and lower abdomen and also in my upper back. My expectations were that my waist would be smaller by at least 5 inches. After 6 months, I am down 2 inches which is disappointing. I still have bra roll fat and fat on my flanks. With that said, I am preparing for a round 2 next year. Who I go with and when I go largely depends on my funds. There are 3 people I’m interested in for different reasons. If my funds aren’t ideal, Llorente will be my guy. His results are EXCELLENT for the price. I believe he charges around 5K and he’s in Miami. If my funds are where I expect, it will come down to Dr. BBL in Minneapolis or Dr. Blinski in Miami. Both get EXCELLENT results but both are pricey. Dr. BBL has a J Plasma option that literally tightens your skin on the table. Dr. Blinski seems to have more experience with revisions and fibrosis. Both would cost me more than 10K which won’t be a problem if I have the money. In the meantime, I’ll be working with a trainer at the top of the year. I need to lose weight overall before I go. About 15-20 pounds is my goal. I also plan to use this time to get my hemoglobin up as high as possible but April. That is ideally when I would like to have my round 2. It’s still up in the air. I’m not 100% sure I’m going to do it. If I do, I will start a new review. Here are some pics from yesterday with my faja on. This is my ideal shape post op with some minor tweaks. My hips are a tad uneven but I like the shape. Of course a smaller waist and a pinch more booty volume.
