Something strange..

$14,000
Okay so I noticed something, I got a call from mendieta's office & they were just checking up on how I was feeling. We talked & I figured I'd bring up the fluffing since I'm still pretty sad about my butt still (this emotional roller coaster is real) & the nurse dodged my question. Like literally answered my question in a completely different way. I even asked her "is it true or possible people fluff, get rounder & fuller" she legit again dodge my question which then obviously made me feel even more paranoid & crappy. Ugh guys it's hard but I'm sucking it up & waiting for the 3-6 month mark. I just prayyyyy this thing rounds out. Sadly a round 2 just isn't in the financial cards for me :(

Do u remember what the nurse said.Im not sure how your question can be dodge if u asked her plain as day
I asked her if fluffing is a possibility & she just kept telling me that I'm swollen in other parts of my body & that I need to wait but wouldn't actually address the fluffing in my butt. Strange but she's sweet so I just let it go.
i am with you. i wish I could take a 2 month nap.
Hey hun any progress on the booty? My swelling is going down drastically so far. But is still square lol
Learning to like it, still wish it was bigger :/ how are you? Hows the bod forming?
Need a garment with more compression. I bought this ultrasonic portable massage to get rid of the lumps and bumps so I'll let you know how that goes, anyways I'm in boxing you this pic. You will love
hey my lovely girls! just passed the 4 week mark. still have hard swelling in groin area. bootybaby have you tried a faja yet? I just threw out a question in the doc question area to get a take on if docs think that a garment or faja can improve your shape or is it just for swelling. I am going to get my silly marena garment altered...hopefully I will do it tomorrow. Lovely did you get the butt cut out of it or just leave that in? I can't remember.
Hi IV! I didn't get the but cut out. But honestly marena garment is still too loose. I'm buying a fajas vest so it doesn't put pressure on my lower body, just upper body. I'm wearing a butt out fajas and it's doing great for the swelling but terrible for my hips too much compression... Can't wait til month two :))))
Hey hun, how are you feeling? Any fluffing yet?
hi girl, Mendieta did my first BBL , I end up with the same as yours size booty and within 3 years I got much smaller also not even,my right side was smaller than my left one. Good luck!
Omg. So sorry. Good luck hunnie. Im waiting for fluffing gods also.

Okay so comparing my pictures from my preop, I honestly look 150x better. I'm gonna post some of my body & my booty does look much bigger than those pics. I think I just saw those pictures & honestly had a serious breakdown. I'll post more! Thank you guys for all your sweet words.

Hope you're feeling better
Thank you sweetie!!
Beautifully sculpted!!!
Thank you!!
I felt so bad, because when you pay that type of money or any money....you want what you pay for. However, I saw the post op pics and you look good girl, so please make sure you post the pre op so I have something to compare it to. You look great...no joke babe!
I agree 14k is a lot of money.. I wouldnt pay that. My surgery was 3800$ in Dr they took out all the fat
He did take out a bunch of fat. Body contouring the man is a genius! But I'm finally relaxed & gonna let it heal & hope it fluffs haha
Awww dont feel bad hun im sure u will fluff ! U look great thus far
I swear everyone on here is so sweet. Thank you!
Booty baby I saw you in person and you looked amazing. Stop beating yourself up. :-) wait til the swelling goes down to judge
Hahaa thank you sweets, I just wish I had more projection but I might be going crazy but it looked a bit bigger today haha

I think you will have the projection you want. I hope so for you. This Dr. has posted some amazing results. He is an artisan. Keep us posted and I am sending big booty projection healing wishes your way. :-)
Thank you so much!! That was so sweet!
He charged you $9850?
Yes & outta state I paid an extra 4 for expenses :(
Wow, don't worry but I do understand waisting that much money is not cool. Give it a little time and then just go from there, sometimes we need round two and three, but please choose Salama or Cortez if you don't want to go to the DR
as for as the 1050 cc's go...I was told by another doctor that not everyone injects pure fat. most of the time its fat and fluids that are injected which as a result the doctor would quote 1000+ cc's. yet if he injected pure fat (not fluid) it looks like 500 or so cc's in your butt...(just guessing by the pics)
also when you mentioned that u weren't satisfied with the result, did they offer to redo it at a lesser fee?
Haven't asked but I've heard it's 8 thousand something for round 2, he won't do a revision & I called them today & they said 1020 per cheek & just to wait for my results. This waiting game is driving me crazy lol
Mendieta processes the fat before injecting it and 100%pure fat. So you shouldn't Lowe much more fat... I haven't... Fingers crossed :-)
If it means anything I think your booty looks great! ALTHOUGH Dr.M is conservative I think your butt will be much bigger when your waist goes down. and also Ive notice Dr.m's patients don't lose much volume because he injects in the muscle but anywho happy healing hun!
Thank you! I admit I need to take a few farther away pics, these pics make it look super flat & it's bigger in person. I just hope it fluffs out. I'm here praying for the fluff haha
Girl, Miendeta is a Grandfather in this game!  You're still very early out, just take it easy and let your body recover!  You'll be great. Don't worry!  God bless xoxo
Thank you sweetie! Means a lot! I'm starting to look at it from a far & it's got potential haha hope it just doesn't shrink anymore lol
