2 month update. Mourning the loss of huge judy getting used to natural size Judy

Its been a little over 2 months since my Mcadoo BBL . I am doing all my normal routines for the most part but still swell without compression. My butt has lost alot more volume than I expected and I am missing my huge butt that I was scared off one my first post op day. I was like lord have mercy what did he do. I was huge tight and high and I was freaking out. Now I am mourning the loss of that big ole AZZ. There is definitely a noticeable difference but honestly it could be better for the amount of money aggravation and pain I am a little disappointed. I don't know how many cc he took out or put in and it is impossible to get your medical records from vanity, the more you call the more they will tell you that the person you been trusting to help you is fired, sick , had a baby, suddenly don't speak english or they dont know who your talking about. They have straight up lied to me at least 5 times . THey have been looking for my medical chart for 2 months now. They say they cant find it. The doc could have taken it home, it could be on someones desk, she says you know the office is very big. Finally I told them that my lawyer was gonna call them and they should explain to him how my personal health information is MIA and that there's this thing call HIPAA maybe they should look harder. Anyway thank god I don't live in Miami or vanity would see me first thing every damn morning. So right after my BBL my butt was perfectly round but now as I lost some volume I have my old lumpy cellulite dents underneath my cheeks that Im not loving. Also my left thigh was not barely liposuctioned and so the inside very top of my left thigh looks exactly the same as preop. Other than that I am happy. My hubby loves it and in my jeans and tighter dresses I draw alot of attention so actually the size is probably good for me just wanting more roundness. I still feel some numbness tingling and some burning sensations on my flanks . lower back. Really hard to find jeans that fit my waist but are big enough to fit my thighs and butt. Got some PZI jeans that are cool but tad bit of back gap. I found good pair of jeggings at Ross that fit great, will post pics. I am also waist training with orchard corset that I feel like is making a difference after just 2 weeks . Where did my other BBLers that I been following go. come back ladies. Oh and I been using mederma on my incision scars, scar away discs that have helped keep my scars from being raised up and a silicon stick I got from amazon its called circa. I am obsessed with treating these little brown dots. Hopefully they will get lighter soon or I will add a bleaching cream to my regimen soon. I will update you again soon. I also take a pic when I get in my corset again since I just took it off. Hope you guys are having a positive journey, stay strong divas

Thank you for sharing that, honestly! Btw doll, did you lose any volume in hips or are they still there? Just worried about mine going down as I'm recovering right now
May 22, 2015
I had hips naturally so he didn't add hips. I would think that if your worried about losing the hips you should avoid pressure on them as you would your butt cheeks. How far out post op are you?
May 23, 2015
Thank you for responding. I'm 2 weeks and 1 one day post op. I'm not putting any pressure on hips/butt at all. I just read reviews where some people have lost some volume in there hips. Hope it's not severe!:)
May 23, 2015
I heard people lost hips too but not everyone so must be the doctors skill as well.

Hi sweetie. Awww I can so relate to mourning my post op booty. If you followed my blog you know I was like omg i hope it goes down. Then I was in love with that niki booty. Then I cried like a baby when it started to take its natural contour. And I went back and forth for about a month (and still do sometimes). But in the end, i think this final booty is good. It gets attention and if it were bigger, there would be more attention and that would be uncomfortable for me. I sent my PZI jeans back because of the gap. I found instead Poetic Justice Jeans. I love love the way they fit. they hug the judy and no gap in the back! And they are cheaper than PZI...much cheaper. What's kept me level headed is the working out. I was determined to get my stomach in line with the rest of my body. It isn't flat, but it looks respectable. LOL. And my booty is perky cause of all them donkey kicks and lower body workouts. Look hun, you are still healing so you're body is going to keep changing as it heals. The uneven in your thigh can still resolve once healed. I have dimples in my booty. But I didn't expect not to. I had dimples on my butt prior to sx. Dimples are caused by fat and weak skin elasticity. I tend to have cellulite, so I didn't expect that to resolve with bigger booty. There's no denying though that the shape is so much better and my butt looks natural. As the months pass your butt will look bigger some days and smaller other days. Then you get the fluff. What? you didn't know bout the fluff fairy. Well she's a cool [RS bleep], kinda shows up when you least expect it. And she makes your bubble jiggle when you walk and maybe it goes up an inch. LOL. I haven't treated my scars at all. I know i'm bad. But they are resolving on their own. They are now flat and the color is lighter. By the sixth month don't be surprised if you can't locate where the scars were. It happened with my chin lipo. I'm one year and two months post op. No scars whatsoever. So don't be so stressed about the bleaching creams etc. the scars will resolve...unless you scar easily and know for sure that they will remain....I want to say though you really do look amazing. Your shape is BAM! Tiny waist, flat abs (u know i'm jealous) and your judy looks natural and plump. When you look in the mirror practice thinking more about what you love, not what you don't like. It's not easy and i still struggle with not being overly critical of this bod of mine. but i want to enjoy it as much as i can!
May 22, 2015
Your so right on point.. I don't see dimples on other girls bottoms but you know most people pics is fresh outta surgery then after they all post pics in there clothes so who knows. I was just assuming he would fill in those dimples. My judy does look different from day to day and overall is a big confidence booster so I am happy. Going shopping is always the boost I need cause somethings I put on and its like HELLO! . I guess I will keep healing like you said. Are you still wearing a garment? Thanks sis

I do wear a garment. I wear my squeem or my corset to bed. Depending on what I'm wearing I will wear my corset during the day. For working out I wear my latex Ann Cherry cincher. As it gets warmer though I won't be wearing the corset, too hot. As far as the dimples, some gals just don't have them because their skin is different. They have tighter skin. But don't judge your results by what others have. I admire my RS sisters that have that nice tight skin and their bodies look amazing with their new bootys. But I still love my results and i have to compare it to what I had before to appreciate the improvement. But you'll see as the months move on your body will get better and better.

Hey Doll I think you look great it's perfect

I lost some volume on the hips but very little. I already had hips but I had a dip so he filled that gap in. I slept on my sides during my recovery to stay off my booty. But the hips are still rounded. My body holds on to fat though LOL so that may be the reason. It's natural to lose some volume and you will go through the emotional ups and downs when it does. Luckily you have a place to cry when it starts to take it's natural contour. We'll be here for the support and to tell you that you need glasses when you start to say that your booty is too small LOL.

Glad to see im not alone in these little nuances about how my results are shaping up. Still wishing you the best love. Aka: look back at it. A few of us ladies had to start new pages or make name changes for privacy.

Some how i am almost 10 lbz over my pre op weight im not sure if its the swelling the fluid retention im eating too much. Should i diet or exercise to lose 10 pounds or will it shrink my cupcake? I think we should wait till 3 months before we exercise so we know how much fat survived.

You looked great before surgery! I see more definition. I agree, no exercise or dieting now. Just eat healthy and enjoy your new body.
April 15, 2015
Thank you sugar. In starting to feel more normal. Swelling is much better. Thighs still the trickiest part.

Just keep training that waist girl

Seems like im just gonna have to live in a garment cause everytime i take it off . Poof! Swelling and tightness. Ugh
User Avatar
April 25, 2015
I'm having the exact same problem! I still live in the garment with waist trainer. I just can't wait for another 2 months to go by because it's definitely annoying to be swollen after only having the garment off for a couple of hours

Hey you look great. And no your waist is not the same. You can see the difference. If you want it smaller, I've been doing waist training with a corset (Read my review on corsets). Its gone down to a size 30. Dr. Salama says you can start to work out week 4 (light walking) and work your way up. Dieting will cause you to lose weight and you may lose some fat in your judy. Fat cells are like any other in your body, they shrink during weight loss and they expand during weight gain. Same as your booty fat. I started working out week 4.
April 30, 2015
Got my corset today but I think its to big cause i can almost close the back completely already? How much space did you have on the back when you started?
April 30, 2015
how much did you weight before sx
April 30, 2015
I weighed 175 I'm 5'10.
April 30, 2015
you must wait at least 3 months to see permanent results. Be patient this is another waiting process.

Hello sweet peas how yall doing? My peaches is still shrinking but its still round and higher than my original butt so yes definitely an improvement but the butt envy is real and I miss my day 2 post op butt alot. The one that made all the girls at vanity say damn! ! I'm having a love hate relationship with my garments cause im sick of squeezing into [RS bleep] squeezing outta them running to pee. I hate looking like a marshmallows with all the padding and unattractive garments i wear its hard to feel sexy. Last 3 nights been jumping in shower putting on my cute nighty then jumping in bed with hubby and when he's asleep i stuff myself back in my garment cause honey i swell up like a blow fish without it. Its alot of work. Im so fustrated with the swelling and feeling like my skin is being pulled from my bones. Its not pain its just uncomfortable. Im 5 lbs heavier than preop so im like wtf do i slow down my eating should I exercise. Idk what to do at 3 weeks post op. I have my buddy mamita thats been going through this roller coaster with me so that's good. My hubby thinks the butt is nice and i have to keep reminding him not to slap it. Its instinctual. He's a little fustrated too I'm always like be careful, ow don't touch there , watch it. He just trying to spoon like usual so he can sleep poor man. If i could just fast foward 2 months it would be perfect. I been back to work and i work 12h shifts. I get tired i take ibuprofen halfway through to get me through but by the time I get home and in bed im hurting a little like a 3/10 on a pain scale. Sorry to sound blah just keeping it 100. Recovery is annoying. Swelling is annoying and compression garments are the devil but pure hell without em. Here's pics. Wish my butt woulda stayed as high as it was on day 1 cause i see my undercheeks drooping. Thinking some squats will help. Ok tired now ttyl.

You really look great girl

Aw thank you love

Hey Sis! Reading your post, I can feel the melancholy in your tone! Cheer up Bc although I'm just a few days post op, I feel your pain! First things first, YOU LOOK GREAT HUN! Try to take a trip down memory lane and look at before pics to get some perspective. I'm envious Bc I CANT WAIT for the normal, not sky high, hard as brick, Booty to come. It looks natural, it has a shape and you look great in clothes and Naked- Hubby is not joking! I don't think anyone has a real butt like it is on day 2. If so, I personally don't want it. I hate/love my garment and the swelling too. Lord knows it comes and swoops down like a villainous arch nemesis! 3 months!!!!!! We have to wear this for 3 MONTHS? The price for Booty! Cha Ching! Continue to OD ON FLUIDS and remember to be patient ( easier said than done). If you feel strong enough, working out(donkey kicks and other butt lifting exercises) DO it!! It will only improve your results. Google butt lifting exercises and try them out. I'm encouraged by your REAL account of your experience. Cheer up MacDoll! It will all get better with time.
