After waiting 2 years to get my BBL, I finally got my lipo and fat transfer (BBL)done on March 24, 2011. It's funny because as the days got nearer to my surgery date, I was not the least bit nervous. I had a great doctor in NYC, his staff was unbelievably awesome.

I always had a square shape and no rear. When I went for my consultation, Doctor T first spoke with me and explained the entire procedure, including healing process and what to expect as I healed. He was honest and upfront about everything. He was then opened to answer any questions I had. His staff are great!

The day of the surgery my doctor made me feel comfortable, he has a great sense of humor and had me laughing all the way until I was knocked out. I had lipo done on my upper abs, flanks and lower back. I had 750cc's put in each cheek. When I woke up I felt pretty good. I remember someone sticking a cookie in my mouth and having me sip on some diet gingerale. Doctor T's bedside manners were outstanding.

The first two nights was not too bad, I was very sore and bruised, thankfully my bruises went away in 4 days. Amazingly, I did not take any pain meds (Viocodin) I did take Tylenol 3 times, that's it. I didn't get naseous. On day two I did feel light headed, but once I layed down I was fine. I didn't have much of an appetite, but mom and sis (who took care of me) made sure I put something in my stomach. I was fine going to the bathroom as well (doing both 1 & 2).

Today marks my 3rd week post op. I sleep pretty good and wake up feeling sore, but after I am up and walking and shower I feel great! I walk a lot as well. I definately see a huge difference. I now have a waist and shelf. I must say however, I am a little concern with the rear bottom part because although I have a shelf and hips now, the bottom part of my butt seems a bit flat. After reading some reviews and seeing my doctor's assistant, I hear that in time it will drop and form nicely.

Today I am still sore around my abs and waist area and am still swollen but love my new look. I have gotten a lot of compliments from people at work that do not know I had this procedure done.

I would definately recoommend this procedure to those of you who want a butt.

I am waiting till I am fully healed to post some pics up. I am sorry I don't have any b4 pics, only my doctor does.

Thanks for reading!

Best of luck girl!

Can't wait to see your pictures! I'm in California and have been waiting a year to get the procedure done. I've saved enough money...I'm just so scared! I'm doing my research and heading to some of the best doctors in Cali. but I still sweat at the thought of the procedure.

Anyway, wish you the best! And I'm happy you got the results you wanted :).

Thank you so much Sara. I wish you the best, and if this is something you've been wanting for a long time, believe me ... it's worth it! I always had such a horrible complex on my back side (FLAT!) I have breast and many people told me how pretty I was, this, that and the third...however, I lacked self confidence because of my back side. My jeans would not fit right. Always sagged in the front and back, if I took a size smaller, they would look tight and made my butt look even flatter. I wanted to do this procedure 2 years ago and couldn't afford it. Luckily, I saved up enuff money to get it done finally.

Please keep me posted on your status :-) All the best to you!

Going on Week 4 - feeling great, still sore, especially in the mornings. I am also still swollen, not as much, but can tell on my lower back (above butt). I have been getting a lot of compliment from co-workers and friends. I haven't weighed myself yet, but will soon. Prior to surgery I was a size 12. Yesterday bought a pair of pants size 8!!! My butt looks good. It's still a little high up and rounded on top, as it goes lower, it seems like it's a bit flatter, however, when I am in my clothes I look pretty good because I have a shelf.

Hey Sexxynezzy, when did you start to sit and how long did you have to wear the compression garment? I took two weeks off from work, but I sit down most of the day at work so I'm just a little nervous about that

My surgery was on March 24 so I took that Thursday n Friday off then the following week and the following Monday. So I was back on April 5. I am a secretary so I sat putting most of the pressure on the back of my thighs having my butt lifted a bit in the air. I made a month yesterday and still wear my compression garment. I just feel comfy wearing it since I'm still a bit swollen.

I am worried about sitting as well bc I sit at my job. Did you tell them about your procedure? I don't want to tell my co workers..

Okay so tomorrow makes 5 weeks post op, I'm feeling good. I am still a bit swollen in my belly area and my lower back. I believe, and per my sister, my butt is dropping. I still wake up a bit sore in the mornings and throughout the day feel sore mostly in my mid section, but I get up go to the bathroom (at work) and massage myself in the areas where I feel soreness from time-to-time. I am still seeing that the bottom of my butt is a little flatter than rounder, I hope that this will change. I do however, have a shelf. I am posting two pics I took yesterday evening on my cell phone. I don't have b4 pics, my doc has those. I will try to get them next time I see him.

Thanks for reading!

When it's hot or cold? I'm not working right now, so I pretty much take the kids to school and come home. I have not paid attention to that. Do you take any pain meds? Im in a little pain still, so i still take them, so i dont have to feel all the aches in my back and legs feel weird still.
