$6,100

I got a BA last year but still am not happy with my butt. I want an hourglass figure. i try to do squats but its still pretty flat up top and excercise just shrinks my butt, even if it gets perky and round. I want to change my proportions, so in comes the BBL! My appt is booked with dr mel ortega at spectrum. Just got my labs done yesterday, accommodations booked last night, flights booked... it's very real now!
I'm very excited but also kind of nervous. What are your experiences with healing? How much do you wear your compression garments?

On a double dose of pain medication. Everyone was really nice. Right now I'm laying on belly in bed where I've been since I got back lol. I ate a little but it's hard.

Pain is 6/10 right now with Percocet. Very sore.

Places of lipo: upper arms, Stomach, sides, love handles, back, inner thighs

Keep you updated! I already see the change in my shape, and I can't wait to see what it will look like!

This sounds really strange, but I understand about the opening be so small, I literally used a little bucket to pee in standing up so I would not get any on my garment...
