I've been checking the site out for months and months and finally decided to write my own review. I had my surgery about 2 weeks ago (3/19/13) with Doctor Schulman and I am totally loving the results so far. There are some days where I want the booty to go down some and some days where I wish it would stay right where it's at.

I'm of Korean descent and it's rare for women of our breed to have a lot of booty. But, I am on the thicker side and decided a booty is what I wanted!

I'm posting some pictures so you all can see for yourself the journey I've been on thus far.

I will try to answer as many questions as possible. I'm still on my stomach and out of work so I have some time on my hands!


Procedure:

Brazilian Butt Lift with fat taken from upper and lower back, flanks, arms, outer thighs, inner thighs

removed 6000 cc's of fat. That's a whole lot of fat

Doctor Schulman injected 900 cc's on each side.


3/29/13. Went in to get my stitches removed and Doctor says I'm doing great, will retain about 80 percent of what he's injected. I'm all for that!

Happy healing! I'm sure you're results will only get better. Is your back still swollen in your pics? How's the pain for you?

Pain gets better with each passing day I'd say I'm at about 4.5 in terms of soreness. And this is day 13 for me. My back is still extremely swollen and will be for the next few months I believe. Doctor says my full results will show in about six months. I'm comfortable knowing that even if my butt shrinks 20 percent, the rest of my body is shrinking too so my volume will still remain, it's an exciting thing for sure

day 13 and I was able to stand for about 5 hours today. I'm telling you ladies, it certainly does get better each and everyday. uploading a few pics from this morning. I notice that the place where the foam is placed on my lower back creates a dent on it (i Know everything will even out once my stage two garment kicks in, in about another two weeks).

Wow you look great, how's the arms? Are you able to go back to work???
User Avatar

My arms are doing well, really really sore and sleeping is hard but I can see the results already. All of my jackets fit a whole lot better and the swelling hasn't even gone down 100. As for work, I took a 3 week sick leave and it's the best choice I believe. I have a desk job and I know I wanted to stay off my behind for the full three weeks

Hey congratulations! I'm also from south east Asia and am looking to go overseas for this procedure. It's really hard to pick a surgeon internationally. What is the likelihood of the fat dissolving in a years time? Can the liposuction in your legs leave pockets and uneven skin afterwards? Have you told others or have others commented on your full and beautiful backside? I'm sorry for all the questions, you look fantastic and I really want to get this right! Hope you're having a speedy recovery!

I won't know what the final results are until after a few months. Besides a couple of close friends, I've even able to do a good job at hiding it. I plan on being out in the open with my new booty on the night of my bday party in two weeks. :) traveling internationally may be really tough considering how you can't sit on your behind for three weeks. More power to the women who can get a procedure like this overseas. Even in the comfort of my own home I still have trouble!

Wow! You look great! Love the results you got! Happy healing :)

Please I'm new on here what kind of procedure is that it look like implants from each view I see
User Avatar
April 3, 2013
nope, not implants. Still swollen so it hasn't 'settled down' yet. It's been 15 days. My doctor did Something right! Women usually complain that their butts get smaller everyday!

User Avatar
April 3, 2013
still hasn't dropped yet from the swelling and the bruising. it'll eventually even out and have the natural look. My waist and my back is still also swollen from lipo. Mind you sweetheart, i had surgery only 15 days ago. It takes MONTHS for the final results to kick in. I weigh a buck sixty five.

Woohoo! Go girl, you look great! Isn't Dr. Schulman the best?! My surgery is with him in 2 days and you just made me even more excited (if that's possible, lol). How did u manage without the drains? Is it messy? Congrats and happy healing!!
User Avatar

Honestly, I stopped bleeding/draining the next morning. It's messy directly after surgery I suggest garbage bags or using a bed spread that you won't miss. Dr Schulman is the absolute best!!! I can't believe how great my results are so far.

went to the movies with the mister yesterday and sat down for the very first time since surgery. Not gonna lie, Kept thinking "omg what if my butt deflates completely" but... gotta get over that ladies! We're gonna have to go back to our "normal" lives sooner or later. I go back into work on the 10th of April. Definitely staying busy and active. I'm not on my stomach anymore! I'm out and about for at least 7 hours running errands, walking around and what not.

Trust, the weight is coming down also. I was surprised to see my weight had gone down so much. But then again, I was surprised as he** to see that my weight sky-rocketed almost 15 pounds after surgery (totally normal). I should just do away with my scale until 3-6 months after but I can't help it...


I'm planning on taking my garment for about 8 hours on Saturday to go out for my birthday celebration. I'll be wearing tights so hopefully that'll be good enough for the evening.. I've been really good with my garments so far, i'm sure it will be fine (will check with Doc tomorrow).

Okay booties, more updates to come!

I weighed myself a few days after surgery and I was up ten lbs and freaked out! Obviously it's fluid but we never wanna see that! A week later it was the same. Now I'm scared to weigh myself! At what point did you start going down again?
User Avatar
April 3, 2013
i'd say give yourself at least 2-3 weeks. I'm still up in weight from pre-op. Think of it this way, once we're able to work out and be active, we're gonna do anything necessary to maintain our new figure ;) don't sweat it I'm sure you'll be fine :)) some doctors say not to weight yourself for at least six months. so there ya have it babe!

I can see a big difference! Very nice do you feel like you have lost any volume yet? Where do u have stitches?
User Avatar
April 4, 2013
i've lost some yes, but as you can see in the picture, I've been losing volume all around (back, thighs, legs) so it evens out nicely. I just posted day 17, let me know what you think
