My Experience with Brazilian Butt Lift/ Fat Transfer. - Miami, FL

I had my procedure at Strax with Dr. Thomas Pane...
WORTH IT$5,000
I had my procedure at Strax with Dr. Thomas Pane on August 13,2014. I am 7 weeks post op and I feel and look amazing. Dr.Pane is great, he is very patient, and extremely talented. He did miracles for my body lol. I was 125 lbs pre surgery, and my problem area was mostly my abdomen and the shape or lack of shape of the buttocks area. I had lipo on my abdomen, back, and inner thighs with fat transfer to my butt. I had alot of bruising, however they were gone by week 4. I slept on my stomach and did not sit down for 4 weeks. The not being able to sit down part is the worst part of the surgery. I had no pain in the areas of lipo. I did have pain around the buttocks area for the first 3 days, level 1-10 it was a 4. I am a sissy for pain and I was surprised at how "not so bad" it was. I had my surgery done on a wednesday and I was able to go back to work the following tuesday (6 days post op). I had someone drive me to work and I stood by my desk until I was able to sit down after week 4. I felt back to normal by week 5. Back to normal as in no aches, no bruises, no swelling, driving, carrying my 1 year old anf running around after him. I am extremely happy with Strax and Dr.Pane, I love how I look now. I didnt want all of my fat sucked out or to look extremely " lipoed" and wanted shape and volume to my butt without looking like ummm minaj or that extreme. I think he understood what I wanted and did just that. Ps (wear the garments!!! You will need two of them, one for post op and a second one for shaping.. I barely wore mine and I think I would of recuperated faster if I would of worn them)

8 weeks post
There has been someone on my page accusing me of posting fake pictures. Im in shock!!!! So, I take the time to post my experience and my before and after pictures on public internet and someone has to ruin it by saying its a fake. Nothing about my review is fake and those are my pictures. She is clearly just a hater that needs to get off my page. To the other beautiful ladies that are actually here to read others experiences heres my update: Today I am 8 weeks post op, I feel great. I have some areas on my stomach that feel a little hard from the lipo but I have been massaging nightly. You cant see them but I can feel it under the skin. I started working out two days ago (abs and some cardio) and I did feel some pain in the incision areas. I did not have any abs ever and after one workout sesh I feel like they just appeared. I will add some pictures.

Hello!! I'm excited to see a good review from the same doctor I schedule my procedure with. My date is Nov. 13! I'm getting lipo with fat transfer to my butt. Dr. pane is awesome and I loved his bedside manner, he really showed he cared! I'm excited but nervous, and I hope he can give me the results I'm looking for. On the day of your surgery, did you guys go more in details of the areas he will work on?

Im excited for you!!! On the day of surgery, after they put in an IV and you change into the paper gown, the dr comes in to draw on you. This was when I was able to discuss more in detail about the areas I wanted contoured and gave him photos that I printed of what I wanted to look like. Initially, I was not going to get lipo on my thighs, buy after showing him the pictures again during the "drawing" session, he agreed to do lipo on my thighs too. Keep me posted!!!

Thank you so much for responding. I will research more detail pictures to show him. Do you have any suggestions on the do's and don'ts after surgery? Anything specific I need to do or buy before the surgery besides the garment?

Do have someone to help you for atleast 3 days. The first 24 hours, all I did was sleep. I did groceries the night before and stocked up on gatorade, light soups, saltine crackers ect. I was very nauseous the first week after surgery and having light things to snack on helped. Because you really cant sit to use the bathroom, I bought a pee funnel from amazon, lol, sounds weird buy it was a life saver. The garment has an opening on the bottom and it was just easy to stand and use the funnel then go back to bed. Rest rest rest, and dont be nervous. Oh and my mom made me smoothies from recipes that are to promote healing (googled them).

I am the Fake Review Detector. And the lie detector proves this review to be REAL. Lol. I think! Whatever the case, you look good girl! he did a great job on your body. The lipo looks nice and smooth. He was able to really do a lot with only 750cc or however much you got. Looks like you had a nice canvas to begin with :)

Sandy, you look great! This is exactly what I want to do. Transfer fat from my stomach to my behind.

Almost one year after surgery
11 months after surgery: I have lost some of the roundness of my behind and it looks a little more natural. There are some areas I would like to have "touched up" from the lipo... But overall, I am very happy with my results. Pictures updated!! Planning for a breast aug next month!!! Cant wait!

How long did it take for you to start going down in size. I had fat injected into my knees and they are too big. It's been 3 weeks and I'm hoping they are will going down in size

I'm always interested in seeing the long-term results of BBLs. Thx for the update. There's still a very noticeable difference from your before pics. I think you look great!
