Everything is going fine and back to normal. I don't think ive lost too much volume. It's definitely growing. The scar on my stomach is just about gone but the two on my back are very noticeable. Dr hamel mentioned some type of scar removal he can do three months after so I will probably look into that now. Those two wounds still have some slight pain when touched. The only thing off about my rear afterwards is that there are times when it twitches. I guess that may be it growing. It's not painful, just weird. Another thing is I get really hungry and I think since I've had far taken from different places, my body wants to eat, to fix it. I have been working out to make sure I don't gain the fat back. My stomach is not as flat as it was so im working on that now.

Hello,

I'm going for A BBL and tummy tuck next week with Dr. Hamel, did he give you a compression garment or did you buy one before hand? Were you able to drive at al after the surgery? how did your butt feel the next morning?
November 9, 2015
I didn't drive myself home but I was able to drive the same day. My butt was really hard a while later. I stayed off of it for two months. No sitting directly on it or sleeping. They did give me a compression garment that I still use from time to time.

Thanks. I had my surgery done. When you say you stayed off of your butt do you mean using a pillow? Did you buy a specific one?

Hi. I'm thinking of going to dr hamel. I was only concerned due to the fact that I haven't seen a lot of his work on women of color. But you came out great !
December 10, 2015
Thank you. Yeah the only thing I would worry about is if you have keloid skin. I have problems with that.

Week 10

I wasn't in pain for long. My arms out of everything, seemed to be what caused me the most discomfort. I went to get my accent treatments every two weeks and saw a drastic change in my stomach. My results have changed. Dr ma hamel said I've lost about 70% of what was added but by December I should see that a lot of the fat cells have regrown. I did just what he said about not sitting or laying in your bottom for three weeks. Having to lay on your stomach for everything is the puts. I started walking on the regular because I felt as if laying down and eating was gong up make me gain weight in places I didn't want to. I gained 8 pounds in two weeks so I definitely started walking. I still have these incision wounds that I don't really care for. I've been putting Vicks butter on the and neosporin to get them to decrease. I would say that at about week 4 , everything was back to normal. Again, my arms still have some minor discomfort. Let me know if you have any questions.

You look great. Your waist looks so tiny. Did you do crunches or anything to flatten your stomach too? I've had 3 kids too and I'm thinking my waist can get small, but still poke out because of the pregnancies.

I'm 5'7" and about 140 lbs just like you.

I wore a waist trainer afterward but no crunches.

I will have to add pics later today but I feel like I have lost a lot of volume in my butt. I have been doing my best to lay on my back and stomach but I wake up some days like where did my butt go. I know fat cells have to die and come back but it's not a good feeling when you see results and then wake up and they are gone. I have followed a few of the ladies stories on here and I know you won't see full results until 3 to 6 months later or possibly a year but I'm a little bummed. Anyone else gone through this?
