As I promised. These are current pictures of my body. I had my sx about 18 months ago. As you can see my booty doubled in size!!! Still weighting options to cover up my scar as well. I have a 10 pound weight lost goal. I have my weight trimmer, fat burning gel, and some skin tightening body wraps. I have used at least 10 since my surgery. When I use them I can tell a difference in my loose skin for that week. Afterwards it's pretty much back to its normal shape (rolls). I have considered non-surgical Lipo on my lower back area. I work so much and sometimes I just want to relax on my days off. Sometimes I don't want to think about anymore surgery. Crazything is I have started a "trend". My closest friends all want surgery. One of my friends is scheduled for a tummy tuck next month. With that being said it's hard to step away. However I enjoy helping others enjoy the skin they love in. Stay beautiful ladies!

A sorry explanation. A bold lie. He will not admit it's a burn.

Hey love ur body looks good. I read ur journey and I'm blown away at ur strength and glad u pulled through.

Just wanted to tell abt magic mix for the burn scar. I had very bad burns from a house fire.
Get pure tea tree oil, CT Plus lighting cream, and pure cocobutter. Mix them together and apply twice a day bathe that area with kojic acid soap 2x a day. The tea tree oil will flatten the scar, the kojic acid will exfoliate the skin and prepare it to accept the CT Plus cream to lighten the scar, and the coco butter will make it all blend in. If u this mix for 3 months you will be extremely happy and after another 3 months ppl won't believe how severe the burn is.

I don't know if u already have a plan love but I had to share because I truly understand. From one burn survivor to another.

And again u look good luv.

Thank you so much for your tips! I will have to try this because I've spend hundreds of dollars on over the counter scar creams and oils. I have yet to see any improvement.

I understand I was doing that too. It was so depressing

I finally found the right mix and itll cost u less than 70$ just make sure to be consistent and twice a day. U will definitely see the scar lighten and dont under estimate the tea tree oil flattening the keloid scarring. Please keep us updated. In 3 months I know you'll see a big improvement and you'll be motivated to keep up with it

I cannot believe it's been 18 months since my BBL. Threw it all my confidence is high. I love how my clothes fit. I love having a flat tummy as well. To be honest I have not changed much in my diet since surgery. I barely exercise and I still have great results. I can say weight gain goes straight to my butt! It has gotten huge over the last several months. Sometimes I start thinking about more surgery. There is nothing that I would risk having done besides a scar revision or liposuction. Having a BBL is painful Yes! But it's the healing process that counts me out for round 2. My experience was unique. After watching my friend heal from her BBL with Dr. Magic Mike (Rodriguez) he did a fanatic job by the way! I was like no round 2 for me. Ladies am hear to answer any questions you have. Feel free to message me. Realself has helped me so much with knowledge and support. The network has been an emotional support system for me. I greatly appreciate the love. I will post pictures soon.

Thank you. My credit score was a 707 at the time. I only got approved for 2k with care credit. So I used 2500k on my Capital one card and 2k cash and recovery house was cash.

Hello Realself Family! Today is a great day. I decided to post a few photos. They are not as clear as I would like. Overall I do enjoy my new shape. I just need to work on tighten my loose skin. My butt seems huge! It doesnt feel heavy or in the way and it feels very natural. My clothes fit great.

I hope you're getting better mentally and physically with your procedure. The best doctors are doctors that take ownership when they mess up. I so glad u made it through. If he had compassion he would have offer compensation for reconstructive surgery paid all medical bills and thanking god he didn't lose u on that table. So many Doc's are jumping on the BBL bus with not real hours of training. Thank you for sharing your story xoxo Get better love
