UPDATED FROM Lil lady

Not worth it. Butt implants

Lil lady
$7,000
Couldn't see where I update my procedure so I'll just do it as the title. My reason for my decision isn't a whole lot against her. It's just this surgery isn't for slim ppl In the end it's not worth it. The only thing on her part I don't like is the uneven ness!! One side is very noticeably bigger (it doesn't go away) I'm well over 3 months so don't feed into that it goes away crap. And also the lipo of my thighs are uneven. One side is bigger than the other. Also the thigh that is bigger is still a bit numb!! Still healing. But my lipo I feel wasn't aggressive enough I had very bad fat on my upper back from where she didn't lipo compared to the rest. But overall it did improve my shape a bit...but not 7000 dollars worth.. Or surgery n travel at that. Now I'm looking at butt implants in colombia. If anyone has any info to give (POSITIVE and doctors only) please let me know. I don't need to hear the dangers of travel blah blah blah. I kno the risks just as there are risks here in America. So don't waste your time with those comments :). anywho. I hear the butt implants there are really soft! I've contacted dr Carlos triana so far no quote. They called me once n I kissed the call but tell me some docs guys!

im at the same boat butt implant wise. take it from me i have researched the crap out of the internet. i have jotted it down to three surgeons. figueroa cerpa, gongora both from mexico and both use cohesive gel implants the soft and jiggle kind :) the other doc is from colombia his name is triana. i emailed wanting to get some patient pics waiting on that. he state he only uses soft SOLID silicon flat implants ? the flat part kind of truned me off to be honest but im waiting for his before and after pics to really be a judge of that. the docs on top may also do fat grafting to put on top of the implant. ill only use it for my side butt. i have your before back view where the side butt parts are sucked in making our lower back seem huge :(

Hello RS! Update. I'm now almost 8 weeks p.o. So...

Lil lady
Hello RS! Update. I'm now almost 8 weeks p.o. So far I feel healed except for my darn inner thighs! These things are still hard n sore! My hip area is still uneven. At this point im sure it will stay this way:/ overall I'm better than I looked before but I lost a lot of hip volume. And the unevenness is very noticeable in clothing and it bothers me. Afifi did attempt to contact me a week or So ago for a. Checkup but I was busy. When I give her a call back I will mention it and let u kno how it goes!

Hey girly..did your tummy stay flat

For the most part yes. I've been so worried about losing weight that I haven't been dieting and only doing light exercise because I don't want to lose any more volume in my booty lol. I will post stomach pics soon
UPDATED FROM Lil lady

I'm now 12 days po almost 2 weeks!! I'm walking...

Lil lady
I'm now 12 days po almost 2 weeks!! I'm walking alot better. The only thing that bothers me are my inner thighs. Those bad boys are no joke. They are still sore and a little painful. Nothing else really hurts. My knees were REALLY swollen but are going down. I personally suggest that if you are going to get your inner thighs lipod to get a garment that goes well below the knee! Where mine stopped didn't help the swelling of the knees if anything it made it worse. My butt hasn't changed TOO much in size so I'm hoping there's not very much swelling left to go down. Ill upload pics in a couple days at my 2 weeks mark. I'm curious to kno tho how long did u guys start working out after. And what type of exercises to maintain & help the booty, but not lose it..

January 16, 2013
I actually don't for sure. She said she thinks 500cc but she didn't have the paperwork with her. When I speak with her I'm def going to ask.
