2.5 Month post implant removal

So since my last update here is how my booty has been looking since removing my butt implants. I feel so free and no longer feel insecure with myself, I now have my confidence back. Also I am wearing control shorts/spanks as my surgeon (Dr. Raphael in Plano, Tx) recommend for the first 6 months-1 year before I can look into a BBL. It looks great and I am so please with my results! I feel like the old me is back. I honestly was so depressed and had really bad social anxiety after getting my butt implants that I had to start medication. Butt Implants were the most expensive and worst mistake of my life. BBL is the way to go unless you have the soft implants from Colombia. A hard ass is not cute, comfortable and very rarely does it look natural, at least it didn't for me.

BUTT IMPLANTS ARE FINALLY OUT!

First off, I want to thank you ladies who have PM'd me, shared your stories and have wished me well along this journey.
I went into surgery to get my butt implants REMOVED around noon today. My surgeon did an internal butt lift and used my scar tissue in the process to fill it out a bit. ALSO NO DRAINS, YESSS!!
I am so happy we were able to avoid a giant long scar on my lower back! THANK THE LORD! Right now my butt looks the way I wanted it too when I initially wanted butt implants but I know that is mostly likely due to swelling. Other girls who have ex-planted say their butt fluffs out after sometime like a BBL does. I'm so happy to be having those terrible implants out of my body. They felt so toxic! I can't wait to look normal, live my life again, wear all my "old" clothes that's been hanging up in the closet for the pass 1.5 years and also having a SOFTER BUTT again. It feels soft to touch already! It's so weird as I almost got used to feeling a hard butt when ever I touched my behind lol.
I wasn't able to speak with my doctor after surgery so when I see him at my 1 week post op I will be asking him a bunch of questions personally. The most important being the implant placement, if they were intramuscular or not as I do have my doubts and so did he during the pre-op consult when he inspected my booty and implants. We shall see! lol
I also asked to keep the implants after surgery. I will receive them tomorrow when I go in to get my bandages changed and the sutures checked. I'll ask if they know anything about the implant placement as well.
I am doing fine right now, I haven't needed a pain pill since, no nausea and I'm only 9hrs post op. I've only taken the Valium so far to help me sleep when I got to my AirBnB. Compared to when I got my butt implants I’m not in any serious pain or discomfort. I'm keeping foods light for the first few days; only doing soup, water, Gatorade, Protein shakes and sometimes mixing in Metamucil 2x a day for fiber.
Well that is all for now, I will update you all once I go in tomorrow for my post op check-in and then after my 1 week mark. If you guys have any questions or suggestions please comment below or PM me!
Thank you all again!

Removing my butt implants FINALLY

I will be removing my implants next month. Since my last post things have only gotten worse with time. Its continued to sag and now the right implant has malpositioned as well. I will be traveling to visit another surgeon in a different state who I trust to remove my implants. Unfortunately I will need a posterior butt lift that will include a long scar along my lower back to fix the sagging skin once the butt implants are removed. This will cost me $7000 out of pocket plus travel. I've had to save in order to get my implants fixed, if I had the money a year ago I would have gotten them removed then.
Sleeping is uncomfortable especially on my back. I have to place an extra pillow under my thighs to lift my butt in case I turn over at night. If I do end up accidentally turning over and sleeping on my back I wake up with my butt feeling sore and my leg (usually my left which is the worse side) hurting that day. Sometimes when sitting on my butt, my butt goes numb so I will sometimes place something under my thigh or get up ever 10-15mins. I haven't worked out like I used to since my implants. Even a light walk I have to wear a compression garment for support because my butt will ache the next day and I'm also afraid of my implants sagging more or getting worse.
It's been a nightmare since I've had these implants. If I could turn back time, I would have saved my money and never gotten this surgery done. I thought getting butt implants would boost my confidence and self esteem but it's done the opposite, It's ruined my life. I'm embarrassed to look at my body everyday and even have my husband see me naked. Clothes and dresses that used to look good and normal on me look ridiculous and FAKE with these big round implants that poke out.. so a lot of my wardrobe has been hanging in my closet. I have to wear compression bottoms to flatten my butt down and make it look normal when I go out. It looks like I have two out of place basketballs for a butt when I wear anything with the way my implants poke out. The transition from my back to butt and butt to thighs is so drastic it's obvious I have implants. Every day I wish I had my old body back and that's something I will never have again. I should have been happy with what I had or just gotten a 2nd BBL.
If you're thinking of getting butt implants please carefully do your research. This is a surgery you do not want to jump right into.
