schulman is the man! - New York, NY

Hey dolls, I'm about 2 months and a half post op now and nothing much has changed in terms of recovery. I can sit but rarely do. I've got used to sitting on my booty buddy and lying on my tummy so I've just carried on with the habit. I want to see how long I can go for, hopefully 4months at the minimum. When I sit for a little bit, its fine but when I sit for longer periods it gets a bit sore. Nothing alarming, just sore. I get off it not because of the soreness but because I don't want it to shrink.

I must say, at this point my result is great. It hasn't gone down much since the last time and if it stays the way it is now then I'm good. It looks natural. I did put on weight since surgery though, so that may have contributed to it staying thick.

Ladies please do yourselves a favor, take your own before pictures and use the same underwear/clothes and the same background so you can have a true appreciation of the difference. I found one of my before pictures today (in an old phone so i didn't have them after the surgery) and I tried to replicate the picture in the same underwear to see the difference, and yes, there is a clear difference. Dr. Schulman gave me a butt. However I want more and I want some of the little imperfections corrected. The dents on my hips are starting to resurface, not very noticeable but it looks funny. So at this point I would rate Dr Schulman 4 stars, and the only reason I'm taking one star out is because I still feel that my surgery was rushed, hence the the not perfect, not 5 star result! 30 more minutes and 300 more ccs would have given me a 5star booty! Still, I would recommend him 100% because of all the stories I read and see, Dr Schulman is still one of the best.

Much respect Doc, still your biggest fan!!

Its been 2 months already, I thought this day will never come. Funny thing is you wait for it for so long but when it comes you're afraid to 'do it'. by 'do it' I mean sit down. i've got the all clear from the Dr to sit and lie down naturally but I think I'll hold on until its 3months, just in case there are a few fat cells in there that still haven't established blood supply..hahhahahaha. Dumb as it sounds, I have to try girls, I'm left wit a not so big butt so I'm going over and beyond here. If you ask me the craziest thing I did in this struggle, it'll be that I haven't been sleeping under the duvet.. the thing is too damn heavy and I wasn't tryna kill my fat…hahahhaha. I braced the chilly nights with ass hanging out to dry, sometimes even paranoid that the fat cells would freeze off..lol. Laugh at me all you want, when you're trying to protect your precious investment you too will do crazy things. The vets know exactly what I mean.

Result wise, things haven't changed much. On some days I see it and on some days I don't. I have somehow managed to get fatter and I now have rolls on my back (where were they when i needed them!). I am fatter than I was pre-op and I think if i did the operation now I would have a bigger booty. Now I'm torn, stay fat and save the fat for round 2 or loose the fat plus some booty and hope scar tissue will not hinder round 2.

Bottom line, pun intended, my butt has managed to hold up. If only I got the 900cc I would be creep walking all over the place. I lost a lot, about 30% so far and i hope it has stopped shrinking. oh, another booty protection measure I've been taking is that I don't wear panties. I tried once and it left deep lines so I stopped. I guess at this point I can resume wearing them but I still won't sit until it's 3 months. Maybe I can start driving and I can sit in public but I will not sit at home or sleep on it for another 4 weeks. you get used to sitting on your thighs and sleeping on tummy for so long that it becomes second nature. I'll come back at 3 months for semi-final review. Final review will be at 6 months. hmmmm wish me luck.

Dr Schulman I'm so sorrrrrrrry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (there should be emojis on rs)….picture crying emojis right here.
I don't wanna speak too soon so I don't end up being a yoyo (cos first I was full of praises for him and then I got mad at him). I shoulda stuck with my first decision to not judge until a few weeks in. Honestly girls, this BBL is a PROCESS!! phew!! who woulda thunk it?!! So much to say but I don't wanna confuse you so ama try to articulate ma thots! Pls stay with me on this rant cos its important stuff.
At first I was a little disappointed and then I became a lot disappointed and then I gave up. Gave up rs, IG and the booty dream..and then it happened. The scales fell off and I started to appreciate the good work My Dr Schulman did. It's not perfect, its not as big and juicy as I dreamed, but there is a difference from what it was pre-op. Are the ccs and tapes lying? NO. In terms of inches and ccs, I didn't get anything impressive like a lot of the girls here. and Yes, my old panties and clothes still fit and I still dream of a round 2. So what changed you might wanna ask? Well, like I said, the scales fell off. I went back to the begining to retrace my steps. Follow me:
I chose Dr Schulman after careful research and money was not an issue.
On surgery day I had the best state of mind possible, I had zero nerves.
Dr Schulman came to mark me and seemed kinda in a rush, no time for chit chat. I almost panicked.
I said a prayer and was at peace as I lay on the surgery table and went under.
I woke up alive (obviously, haha) and grateful. and then it happened!
I asked the nurses how many ccs I got and how long the surgery took! Those 2 questions were the beginning of my problems. As soon as I heard that I got 600ccs and the surgery time was less than expected, my mood changed. My conclusion was ''Dr Schulman did a rush job''! My mind went back to when he came to mark me and seemed to be in a hurry and I put the pieces together (being a woman so a natural CIA/FBI) to arrive at my story. That angered me so much but I managed to hold it in and thats why I said (read the after surgery post) I didn't wanna rate the surgery then. To make matters worse, I got the damn blisters, pesky percs messed up my mind and I was packing on the lipo foams under my garment so of course you don't get a correct picture with 2 foams on your back blocking the scoop. I was so deep in my feelings that common sense eluded me. So, anyhoo, the turning point was when I called [RS bleep]! I now see that I do have a booty4real (hey boo hey @ B4R). It's not big and juicy like PRINCESSCASH and some other mamas on here, but its an improvement from before. It has some dents here and there and the lipo is still wavy here and there, but nobody can call me a flat ass anymore. oh no, flatty don't live here no more.
So for those of you who have bothered to follow my story to this point (even with no pictures), I say thank you and I promise you that you will learn a few things that are uncommon. In summary remember these… your mind will play tricks on you, you will be emotionally vulnerable, you will change your mind a lot. Also good to know is that girls lie a lot. Many girls lie about the ccs they get and pose strategically for their pictures. Also some doctors don't put back pure fat so they can give you more ccs in terms of volume but as expected all the other stuff will reabsorb. Most important of all, remember where you started. Dr Schulman told me something that was a home run when I complained to him about not being happy with the size, he said, when people first see themselves after surgery, that image is engraved in their heads and they forget how they looked just a few hours before. That is one of the major reasons we say its not big enough. we get accustomed to the new body and completely forget where we came from. My advice, pick out a few panties and outfits that highlight your current (maybe miserable) behind and take your before photos in them and then 6 weeks later, take your after photos. Thank me later.
Conclusion: Dr Schulman moved my fat around, didn't give me a Kim K butt, but he gave me a pass out of the flatty club with some girl curves on top. I'm not entirely satisfied but I'm grateful, I still plan on going for round 2 (I had hoped not to) and I will go back to Dr Schulman. This time I hope he will perfect what he started. Plus I hope he gives me revision price. He should really, I've sent like 3 girls to him and they all got major work done.
Disclaimer: I'm still healing so I don't have the final results yet, I will do the 3 month rating when it all settles. Hell, I'll review for the next one year and through my round2.
I hope this whole rant episode makes sense. If you read it to the end, well done!
