almost 3 months post-op
Some sitting and laying down photos at almost three months. I was just playing around with different angles to see if I could get a good hip to waist ratio. I'll update again soon.
2 months and 2 weeks post-op (QUESTIONS)
I wrote in my last update that I was down to 109 lbs. Its been awhile since I weighed myself so I was assuming I was the same. I got on the scale today and I am 108.0 lbs so definitely the smallest I've ever been since I was probably 13 years old.
I still have knots on my lower sides (flanks) which is inflammation from the lipo and the skin on my stomach is veeeeery loose and flabby. If I sit or lay a certain way it will wrinkle up (looks like fat rolls) but if you grab it, you can feel that there is no fat inside and it's literally just a lot of loose skin.
Did anyone else have this problem? If youve had "knots" from lipo, what did you do to get rid of them and how long do you think it took for them to all go away? Also, how long did it take for your skin to recover and tighten back up? I feel so weird right now lol thank you I'm advance
ps. wondering if maybe I should go back to get more massages for my sides ?? hmm

Brace yourself for a long update !!
(chest, waist, hips)
before surgery I was: 32-25-35
1 month 1 week post-op: 32-23-38
2 months 2 weeks post-op: 32-23-37
Yes I did lose another inch around my butt since the last time I took measurements and I'm literally only a two inch difference then before surgery. I look a lot better than before but I'm completely healed now and I'm almost back to my old self.
Before surgery, I originally weighed 112lbs and after gaining weight I managed to make it to 120lbs for the surgery. After surgery, I've slowly been losing weight and going back to normal. I assumed I was just going to stop when I reached 112lbs but I actually weigh 109lbs
now.
My butt and hips were definitely bigger after surgery when I weighed 120lbs. But I've lost all my weight since then. My advice to anyone getting the bbl is if you gain weight for surgery, and you want all of the fat to stay, you NEED to keep up your weight which is something I obviously failed to do.
I have a fast metabolism and I'm actually trying to go vegan at the moment. I do not eat a lot and I do not eat many fatty foods or take in a lot of protein like I did before surgery.
With that being said, I still do not know if I'm disappointed that I lost most of the hips and projection I had after surgery. I feel that after I made the decision to go vegan it was obvious I was going to lose some of the fat and the weight, and I also plan on going to the gym next year. Eating all that food to keep up my weight is too much work for me since I highly despised having to eat constantly to gain weight before sugery. I've pretty much accepted myself for how I look now and realized this is as good as it's going to get for my body, which is the two inch difference.
Conclusion: I'm still happy with my results, and I definitely look better than before. I'm hoping that after I go to the gym next year and tone my abs and etc that it will improve things even more. But knowing my body and my metabolism, I expected that this would happen and I would lose most of the fat considering I didn't have much to begin with. If you don't gain weight easy and your matobolism is fast like mine, if you want your results to stay, keep up your weight after surgery,, I can't stress this enough. Also, if you plan on being active and working out, you need to try twice as hard to manage your weight to make sure you don't burn any of it. It's a lot of work!
**NOTE** my results have nothing to do with dr.mcadoos work!! He did PERFECTLY with my body after surgery. I was a 10 lol I was waay bigger after surgery which is obvious in previous pictures, but any hips or projection I lost were due to the way MY body responded and because of the choices I made after surgery. Please keep this in mind for anyone who is interested in going to him
I've also decided to start laying and sitting down. I was told wait three months for optimal results but I think where I'm at now with my body is my final stage so I don't think it will matter if I sit or lay. I am still being cautious and making sure it's not too much pressure though
I hope this post isn't too negative! I loved dr. macadoos work and I'm still happy with my body. I lost a lot of fat and projection because of my choices and the fact that I burn fat easily. Don't hesitate to ask any questions I don't want to give the wrong impression :)
I've posted two photos, one from my bathroom and bedroom just for a different perspective. The side and back still look the same as previous photos.

Dr. McAdoo is extremely friendly and respectful. Opon meeting him I immediately felt comfortable for a conversation. I showed him pictures and discussed what I was looking for in a brazilian butt lift and he saw my vision perfectly. Over all my experience dealing with him was great and I love my results!
