Butt Implant/ Lipo Back, Fat Transfer

Wow! Well I would say I have wanted to do something about my backside for many years. I'm a 55 year old woman recently divorced and figured it's now or never. I had much encouragement from my daughter who had a brazillian butt lift 5 years ago and was happy with the results. I didn't have enough body fat and i cant gain weight easily so the butt implant was the only real option I feel I had. I worked with my cordinator by phone and after several months savings flew to miami and went for my consultation and went over the risk with my doctor and the very next mornig had the surgery. I'm 6 weeks post op and have returned to work but OMG this has been anguish, painful and not convenient in every sense of the word. I still cannot sit on my butt, sleep on my back and I have to be driven everywhere. Mostly I have to lay down in the car. The sensation in my butt and back is just weird and I can't stand to be touched. My backside is hard and tight as if a vice grip has me ...I bought the Miami Bootty pillow wjlhich fits under your thighs and your butt touches nothing. ( thank goodness I did, it's been a life saver for work.) But even so I can't sit even on that for too long or my buttock begins to cramp up and is painful. I am taking muscle relaxers and the doctor assures me that eventualy my body will relax and my implants will become just part of me. He did a fabulous job from a visual prospective with implant sizing and fat transfer from all over body where he could find it to transfer around the implant area and sides of my butt where I desperately needed it. My implants are under the muscle and im sure will take longer to heal. No complaints from that point. I definately did not want a huge butt, just a normal and pretty butt. My only complaint is that the AFTER CARE and DOWN TIME is not exactly talked about. I literally had No idea what I was getting into as far as RECOVERY. Because my job requires my full time attention it has been a strain on the company and on my finances because I've missed alot of work. However on the positive side if I can get back to normal feeling which I anticipate has to be hopefuly soon I think I will not regrett it but love it. I hope I get encouragement from people who have done this and can tell me when there body felt normal again.

I'm 6 1/2 weeks post op. I can't sit down still as its just too uncomfortable .I am walking almost completely normal now though. My butt still is hard up high where implants were placed but bottom is soft where fat was transferd. I still can't lay on my back very well. Just for a minute or two max. I didn't get big implants 3rd from smallest they make as I have a small frame. I like how it looks but I still feel weird back there and can't stand to be touched anywhere on my butt or back where lipo was. Sex is challenging but managable. Uugh! I just wanot to feel normal again. No one really talks to me on here. I was hoping someone who's been through this would tell me it's going to be okay.. my incision has healed good.

Hey , I'm hanging in there. At 8 weeks you kinda get to a I'm so over it stage. Sore neck, you just wana feel Normal again. I like so many have begun to depend on this correspondence to keep focused and keep the spirits up. I'm setting some now and still very sensitive to touch my butt. My low back and neck are very sore from laying on my tummy. I lay more and more on my sides now. I tolerated about 10 minutes on my back last night. The picket they say takes 8 weeks to heal so I'm very careful not to over due anything that might set me back. My honey can now lightly run his hands across my butt and I don't scream lol. So I'm improving each day. The tightness is there but I feel it starting to soften some now. At times its not so evident and other times as the muscle contracts it's still very evident. Can't wait for the day that it feels like it's just part of me. My butt was a complete wreck and flat with no shape so I'm definitely happy to have one now. I'll post pic, same panties as 1 month post op. I can see some changes in a few weeks. I had 500 cc of fatty transfer both sides over and around inplant. Especialy on sides where a botched liposuction job from many years ago had sunken my sides in. So for what I had to now the visual for me though not as beautiful as alot of women's on here. Is great results for me.
