Most of fat transfer is gone bye bye

The BBL has been a fail. Most of the fat transfer is none existence. I keto so I have a high fat diet, I've only lost 6-lbs since the surgery and basically been doing maintenance. My hips are back to normal with my . My dimples are back on the side and the flat area in the middle has returned. My butt does stick out more due to the lipo. My thighs are slowly going down, they look like a dried up prune. The good side is that they have gone down enough that, they are not noticeable with shapewear on under my clothing.

My flanks and back are still swelling a lot, they feel very tight and some days they feel like they are on fire. Arnica gel helps a lot. My pubis mound still has some hanging fat, and my vaginal lips are a joke, one lip is constantly swelling. I finally went and had a deep tissue massage last week, it felt so GOOD!!! I was so swollen, and left feeling like putty. Not happy about the reabsorption but Damn if I don't look good.

Dr. Perry has agreed to do the legs/breast & thigh lift together. I still have 20-25 more pounds I want to lose and once I get my knee situation taken care of I can hit the gym with a vengeance to tone up my legs and arms before surgery. My date is set for 4/05. I will have 12 days of 24/7 help, so hopefully I will be able to stay home by myself after that. I will post pics of my thighs in a few days. They are not pretty, but my goal is to get the fat down enough so I can I have a groin cut and not all the way down to the knee.

Why do you think the BBL was a fail tho ? Is that normal

I lost a lot of the fat was transferred​. My butt never dropped as expected. It did get fatter, but never acheived the curvaceous mound. I noticed last week that I've developed more of an indent on left cheek and is much flatter than right. Unfortunately, I knew the fat transfer was a Gamble and was aware of possible results. Retention of fat is the roll of the dice.

Woke up this morning noticing that some of the swelling is reducing on the right side. Also observed that on the left side down to the ankle is swollen. I do feel much better. One day at a time.

You look amazing! How are you managing with the swelling? Very curious to see how you like your thighs as I'm in the same boat with needing a lift but was lipo 'might' work instead

The swelling is receding slowly. My thighs currently look like prunes. I won't be able to draw in conclusions for a few months. Waiting to see exactly how much my skin will retract. The good news is that the thighs are mostly deflated and there will be no more bulging in my clothes. I go to my 4th po appt @wks, will try to get pics when he unwraps thighs.
