So I've never had a rear end. I'm white Irish and we just aren't born with a booty! I've done personal trainers, squats upon squats and diets upon diets and my body shape/weight has never changed much more than 10 lbs in either direction and it still left me with the appearance of being what I call skinny fat! I'd lose a little weight but never where I needed too! I'd lose it in my face or my butt. Not sexy! So I've finally decided to book my appt for a Brazilain Butt Lift w Lipo to my back fat, love handles, bra roll as well as full abdominal lipo. Surgery is 3 weeks out and I cannot wait! I'll upload before pics so you will have a before and after reference. I am also having a Forever Young BBL done to my face and hopefully it help years of severe cystic acne scars and pitting as well as fine lines and wrinkles and general sun damage. I figured I might as well have it done while I'm under! I'll compile a list of items I've already ordered for post op care. Any suggestions or tips from you vets out there would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks for starting a review.  What is the forever young part of the BBL?  A face peel?

Keep us posted!

Hi sweetie. I'm scheduled to have surgery with Dr. Parker on 7/14 for a tummy tuck and BBL. My friend had breast augmentation with him a few years ago and was super happy with her treatment and results. Let's keep in touch! :-)

Hi Jill! Yes the Forever Young BBL is a three step peel done with Laser. The before and after pictures I have seen are remarkable. Virtually zero downtime also! So I figured Ill get that done while Im getting the body done! Like a two for one! :)

Well so far I really like Dr. Parker. He seems to be a man of few words but his reputation is amazing. I work in the beauty industry and his name comes up quite a bit with our clients and the work I have seen done is amazing.

Stay off your butt after bbl....I stayed off my butt for 7 weeks. Everything looks good....don't care that doctor's say you can sit after 2 weeks. I was super flat & took 1250 cc in each butt cheek! I did not sit on toilet either, bought a toilet seat with bars. Held myself up when I used the bathroom.....buy a booty buddy! I bought one from Ebay....sleep on your sides (mostly) on front thighs....or on your stomach.....stand alot .....It's a tough recovery since your not allowed to sit. Prepare all your foods in in advance. Clean your house, do all your grocery shopping, buy a plastic cheap shower curtain from Dollar Store. So Do you csn sleep eith it under you the first day or two! Buy a grabber to pick up things from floor.

I was skinny fat with extra weight on abdominal area had an extended tummy tuck & BA with lift last November 2015. Had bbl on April 26th & I'm 8 weeks post op tomorrow!

My neighbor thought I was wearing padded panties last week! She pinched my butt! :-) She was quite shocked it was the real thing! :-)

Wow! Thank you so much for all of that advice! I am totally stressing recovery because I have no one here to help me besides my 17 year old son :( so I know I will be trying to do mostly everything myself so I can spare him! Ugh. I did just purchase the booty buddy and a few other supplies to get started. I even bought a zero gravity chair that I am planning on cutting the butt part out of so I can kinda sit sometimes. I have 20 days off from work so I am hoping I do some serious healing in that time. How are you doing at 8 weeks? How does everything look? I keep reading everyone's posts so I can keep feeling positive about my decision. I cannot wait to have this done and am very excited but the recovery alone is scaring the [RS bleep] outta me! So happy to hear your butt is pinchable now! People go to pinch mine and there's just nothing there! Lol

I'm fine just having a hard time sitting! In my mind I keep thinking I'm going to kill some fat cells! :-) By know everything will survive! Started exercising this week just walking 4 miles & feeling body adjusting to using all muscles again, especially glutes when I'm waliking incline.
Mind I didn't get a huge butt, like some of the ladies on real self....but, noticeable now when I wear shorts, skirts & dresses. I have a nice contoured body....Dr. Hardesty did some aggressive lipo & removed 5 liters of fat! From waist, flanks, bra roll, back, inner thighs....shaped the square butt very nicely!

Get your kid to help you washing dishes, taking out trash, sweeping & vacuuming.....makes things a lot easier.

Make sure your compression garment religiously. Otherwise you will swell....eat healthy after your bbl no diet food...

Wishing you a successful bbl surgery! :-)
Before your surgery move all items that are heavy to table level...shouldn't reach for anything heavy when your recuperating. Use a grabber to pick up clothes, towels, things that drop to the floor.

So as each day nears my surgery date I get more and more excited! Reading the reviews and opinions of so many amazing and strong women on RS has been invaluable! I've been slowly purchasing the items I will need for my recovery which is helping to make his whole thing very REAL! I was having major concern about not being able to lay on my back or on my butt for so long after sx. I have a really bad neck and I only sleep on my back. Ugh! Plus since I'm having full abdominal Lipo as well as the BBl lying on my stomach all the time doesn't seem realistic and it sounds PAINFUL! Luckily I read another woman's advice and I'm taking it! My BRAND NEW ZERO GRAVITY CHAIR arrived today! I will be cutting the butt part out so I will be able to sit at least some of the time. This way I can relieve pressure off my neck, not lay on a fully freshly lipo'd stomach and I will be able to let my booty hang freely! I've read this really helps keep the blood supply up to the butt area which will help retain some of the fat transferred there. I really like the idea of being able to sit more upright to watch tv or eat or read or even sleep if I want to! I also purchased a booty buddy which I will def be needing. My job requires me to be sitting most of the day ( which is why I also call my flat butt SECRETERY ASS!) so I know I will
Want to do as much as possible to stay off of it. Will take more before pics later. I cannot wait to be able to compare the before and afters myself

Once you start using the chair can you post if it was worth it or still uncomfortable? I want to do the same but don't want to ruin an expensive chair for nothing lol. My surgery is the 18th with dr farkas in Paramus. Good luck !
