I'm 3 days shy of 3 weeks post op BBL so my first garment feels looser on the lower abdomen. I wanted to get my 2nd stage garment.. no zippers.. no bulking anywhere. I bought Veronique garment off their site www.designveronique.com 20% off use REAL20 code. Believe me not cheap at all BUT sooo comfortable true to measurement size and it will last! I have more compression on my abdomen. . Back feels great and booty/hips have NO compression material that is light and breathable. It's crotchless and the garment slips on and off plus u can wear your own bra. All the seams.. tags are on the outside. The first garment i don't have to put a tank underneath to prevent irritation. This baby is going to run with me through the rest of my recovery journey. I know recommendations are 6-8 weeks to use garment generally but I going try shoot for 3 months.

Pretty expensive $191 + 20% off but I figured if I invested this much into the procedure and my body why not.

Just few pics.. 1st in very stretchy pants. My PS recommends not wearing jeans for 2-3 months after bbl. Jean material doesn't give too much... it compresses and holds. That's why alot of us look better in jeans than naked prior to our bbl's Lol. It holds things in and smooths out. So I will follow that to avoid further compression and help those beautiful little fat cells thrive and avoid damage to the delicate process.
2nd pics are of my lounge chair I got on ebay for $15. Big shout out and thank you to phat_mommy4 for the idea! Check her profile she is super helpful and her body is RIDICULOUS! So I tried the event chairs and cut the butt out that I saw alot of girls do on here but it didn't work for me. Sitting in it put too much pressure on my hips and hurt the back of my thighs. If i cut more out i was afraid I'd end up sinking further and further in like a kid inside a hamper with their feet straight up Lol. I think that is good for those who just had fat transferred to butt. Now this lounge chair is awesome because you have back support so you can sit up or lay down in it and your legs are stretched out.

Hi Tinka. It was really tough and uncomfortable in the beginning. But then u think of ways to get comfy. In my living room i have an ottoman so watching tv i put knees on the floor (pillow under them) and kind of laid over it or sometimes just lay right on top. Its firm but still has a cushion so it was comfortable. Sometimes lay on the floor in living room to watch tv (anything to get me out of my bedroom). Use a chair turn it around and go on it with my knees and kind of hunch over the back rest with my arms. The best way to sleep for me was with U pillow. I actually folded it in half one piece on top of another and slept with my legs on each side..kind like a bear hug. That was amazing and continues to give me the best sleep. Week 4 I'll start using my handy lounge chair I cut the butt out. I'm just trying to protect what was transferred especially since i didnt have a ton of fat anyway I'm bound to lose some.
