Petite Mom of 4 Made It to the Other Side - Monterey, CA

ORIGINAL POST

I have been unhappy with my backside since high...

I have been unhappy with my backside since high school and I finally made the decision to do something about it. I am 31 years old , 5'0, and 105lbs. I have four kids and although I'm petite I have some fat that just won't go away no matter how much I work out. I also have a pretty flat backside. I didn't gain weight for the procedure. One it is very hard for me to gain weight and to I am concerned about maintaining extra weigt. If anything I loose weight easier than gain weight. I decided on a Dr. Zewert in Monterey since he is close to where I live. The price quote was more expensive than doctors in the Bay Area and Beverly Hills area, but they were able to get me in in 2 weeks as opposed to waiting 4 to 6 weeks with other doctors. I work at a school and wanted to be recovered by the time I got back. Dr. Zewert and his staff have been amazing so far. Phylis, the patient coordinator, was the sweetest and most helpful during the process.
I was very nervous. I had my surgery today at 7:30 a.m and was awake by 10:30. I was in a little pain, I have taken to Norco and am just sore now. I had lipo to my love handles and limited lipo to my abdomen plus the fat grafting. I also added in lipo to my double chin at the last minute. Something I also have been considering for a long time. That cost an extra $2400.
I understand I'm not going to have a huge booty with the limited fat I have. I really wanted a rounder look and smaller waist. Hopefully I keep what I have so far. I know I'm swollen but like what I see so far.

Made it through the night

Well I made it through the first night. Very painful and uncomfortable to sleep, especially on my tummy which was a lipo area. I woke up multiple times and it was really hard to even move to position myself another way. Feels better to stand overall.
I never got a P EZ but what I found to be helpful is my daughters old training potty that goes on top of the toilet. Has a fusion and I don't have to sit all the way down...I can basically put all the pressure on my thighs if that makes sense.
