Butt cheeks different

I like one butt cheek better then the other. My left cheek looks really good but the right does not have as much volume. Been like this since day one I hope the right butt cheek drops more, o and I have lost volume I hope I don't lose anymore liking my results a lot now I'm scared if I lose anymore volume my butt will look like it did pre op, and this waist clincher is driving me crazy but it does help flatten my stomach, I did not purchase a garment after waisting 200 dollars ordering garments that dident fit, so I wear a waist cincher with foams and it works perfect nothing putting pressure on my butt, It works just as good as a full garment, I need to go down to a smaller cincher, but it does get on my nerves just like a garment I'm ready to take this thing off ugh!!!

Hi hun, I was thinking about scheduling a consultation with Sampson... Are u still unhappy? Also would you share any of ur pics with me???? I am so stuck on what doctor to even schedule with, seems that here in Michigan every doc has either mixed reviews or not good reviews at all. I don't want to travel to get this done. Please let me know ur thoughts... Hope u feeling good!

I have been sitting too much since surgery only because I've had to sit to wait for my ride at hotel lobby & at the airport for my flight I hope I haven't screwed up anything and on top of that I didn't wear my garment because I had breakfast that gave me major diarrhea and I had to run to the bathroom to rush to remove the garment so i could go & i couldn't put it back on just incase the urge hit again. I do use my boppy pillow to sit.

I notice a different around my 3 wk post op visit. Doctor explain it was swelling and if I massage it with my hands -- it would soften up. She also explain that the swelling comes & goes. I DO NOT recommand using a electric back massager. It made matter worst. How weeks post are you?

Also must you wear garment 24/7? I have been wearing the one I got from the doctors office but its driving me nuts so i take it off for periods. I did order a corset type garment & the vedette 136. I was suppose to get one of them today. D

I asked the same question to my doctor. I was told you need to wear a compression garment 24/7 for 6 wks. Take it off to bath & to wash your suit. After the 3rd week, I was told I could simply wear my Spanx. Now it's by chance, I was wearing all types of compression shapewear BEFORE my surgery. I have plenty of corsets & girdles. I plan on wearing all of them to get the shape I want.

This is a little dangerous but when I drive, I lift off my bottom by every ten minutes. I kinda press down on my tippy toes or raise 1cheek at a time. But for the first 3 wks, I had someone drive me around. It was a inconvenience but that was the only way I could assure less sitting. I recently went to the salon & it was a horrible experience. I was more concern about me sitting under dryer than my hair. I cut that visit rather short. I was visible agitated. Again, I'm only 4 wks post-op & I'm seeing a difference. I kinda see & definitely feels the fat settling.

At this point I feel really good as far as healing goes. I'm not in any pain I take my pain pills only at night, only to be comfortable. Other then that I feel great I've been folding clothes, doing light house work and everything so, I must say as far as healing things are going as they should. And as far as my stomach dr Sampson did not give me a garment only a binder, and the garment I ordered at home was to small and I waisted my money trying to cut it in areas so it will fit "Negative" still dident fit threw that one away ordered another garment 2x which I hope will be Here soon because, the one thing that is hurting me is this garment I have marks embedded in my skin from this thing, so I can't wait to receive something diff. Also my stomach seams to have Bit of sarcoma at the bottom but its getting better, my butt however I'm not going to comment on just yet I will just play the waiting game wit that, any how I uploaded pics please give honest opinion.

Hey TJ. I'm 3 wks BBL post op. (I went to Dr. Hardaway.) You look great. I've been doing sum reading cuz like you, I had my doubts afterwards. Your bottom will look different everyday. The swelling will go away and come back making your results looking foul at times. Don't be discouraged. I was told you'll see a remarkable difference 2-3 months after. I'm trying to be patient and I advise you to do the same. Our New Bottoms are gonna be AWESOME!!!!!
June 9, 2013
Ok I am scheduled for a BBL with Dr. Hardaway for June 24. Your post got me concerned. At my consult she said she will be able to do about 500cc's per cheek for me. I'm 5'4 about 140 pounds. Are you pleased with your results thus far? I don't want a gigantic bottom but I do want to a least fill out my pants.

June 10, 2013
He gave me 900cc per cheek so I would say you don't have to go that big but it will probably guarantee you some results if you lose some volume, good luck

I am so glad u said that because I am very nervous but I am definitely going to be patient and see how everything turn out before I lose it, thanks because I needed to hear that

Same here. My sponge bob is filling out slowly. But my right cheek is heavier. I'll be taking pics in that side only. Lol. My thighs seem like they getting bigger too. I hope they just swollen still. Goodness.

Hey Gals. I having a bad day today. Its funny how 1 day, things look cheerful and the next, your doubting your results. I only got 400cc in each cheek I guess cuz I'm already wide. But the Fat is seating up high. I really need it to fill in at the bottom. My sides are round but the middle where the cheeks meet still looks square. I probably wont have a nice cuff but a nice round derriere. I'm sorry to post this here, I probably need to make my own blog.

Hey Tee Baby, I can tell you from experience that the fat takes a few months to drop and shape. Be patient and stay positive! Happy healing:)

Thank u. I rec'd a different garment in the mail today. I hope it gives me tear drop booty cheeks. My cheeks looked deform b4. That's mainly why I did the surgery. I almost cried when I finally saw it. But it's filling out slow.
