Well here we are at week 3 going on to week 4 and all is ok. i feel better but still sore from time to time. I stood in front of the mirror and with all the swelling and bruises and lumps tears filled my eyes because I couldn't believe this was my body! For the first time in my life I was happy with what my shape looked like. It's worth every penny. I haven't been eating so good tho and I had to sit to drive and for work. I try my best to avoid it but its part of life I have to sit. When I saw the doc he recommended I get massages and since the garment was causing some folding in my skin they gave me these foam pieces for me to wear. MASSAGES are so important I can't begin to tell you. Get it done ASAP and make sure it's an experienced masseuse. Check out my week 3 pics let me know your thoughts. Hugs sisters!

You look fantastic :) I'm flying internationally to get a booty from him haha! Do you think it's worth getting insurance in case you need to go to ER? How much would that cost? Thanks BBM ;) x

Thank u Celinarose :) sorry for my late reply. I think that is awesome you are coming from far! On the insurance .. I'm not sure what it would cost I guess it would depend how long you plan to stay here. I don't know what budget u have but there are so many other things that you can't think of u need post surgery. It's better to be safe than sorry but if u are limited on $$ I would base it on how long u stay in Miami.

Thanks so much for the response! How long do you think would be good to stay post surgery? How is your recovery? I was thinking of 3 weeks? Did you have to pay for going into ED? Hope you're recovering well! Lots of love x

User Avatar
Booty.by.mendieta
It seems to me that my butt is way more bruised now than after sx. It aches on one side. Feels warm when I lay down. If u look closely u can see the marks from the butt out garment. Got new one today. I'm all depressed feeling like I ruined my new expensive butt because of the stupid garment ordeal. Feeling like I killed all that fat. Look at the pics tell me what u think. I'm seeing doc on Friday.

Lol too funny! I like that kind of greed. Hehehe thanks for the feed back makes me feel better. I hope your healing gets better.

You look good! It hasn't gone done much in actual size. It just looks like the swelling is going down which in normal and it means you are healing well. I compared your before and after and it is still a huge difference. From what I hear most people get a little freaked out when the swelling goes down and their butt loses some volume. Hang in there :)

I had another question. When I saw dr. Mendieta last week he said that he would try and take the fat from the area I was most concerned about to reach the 4 liters. He told me to make sure I remind him on day of surgery of I want my back or stomach worked on the most. Did he ask you or did he just pick his areas? I hate my stomach and want a big booty and small tummy :(
User Avatar
June 14, 2013
Yes he said the same thing to me and listened to my concern areas the day of. I've noticed recently that the fat from under my arms/back like bra area is still there. But he took from the places I wanted taken care of so I can live with that for now.

Garment - what is a BBL girl to do?

User Avatar
Booty.by.mendieta
I've been using one with cut out holes but was told by nurse that Dr. M hates them. Not sure why coz I haven't seen him to ask and she didn't know why either. Anyway, I gotta use something in the meantime. The price of garment was 13o at "fajas y mas" on 163 in north Miami but u can order same one on lipoexpress.com. It molds my body amazingly but leaves circles around my new butt. I was beginning to get circle bruises. Im getting replacement of garment from dr m shipped overnight after I paid 28 bux.

This is my conclusion. Garments play a huge result in final result. I'm getting nervous coz I know I'm in the early stage and NEED something and was worried I'm messing up my new body. I also don't want to go against what my doc suggests. I Just can't seem to understand how pressure against new butt helps.

SOOO whether u opt for butt out or not what I've done is stretch the butt part so much to the point I hear a little rip. I keep tugging at butt part to loosen it up like a pair of new shoes.

Will post pics soon. Swelling down a bit. I got on scale and weigh more than preop weight (assuming its water and swelling) butt is shrinking still big and still can't believe this ls my new shape and hips. Still happy about my decision :)
