WORTH IT
Hey everyone! I have never posted a review for any of my procedures before but I felt the need to this time. Today was surgery day. I originally had a butt implant procedure done in 2011 by Dr. Makhlouf in Chicago, IL. All the butt augs he performs are sub fascial and he swore that was the best way. No way. The implants shifted, stretched out my skin by not having any support since that layer is pretty thin, and most importantly, the minute I bend over they were so noticeable that one would think they were under my pants and not in my body. Ridiculous. So I needed a revision. I searched and searched and searched. I was not going to have another botched surgery.. I came across an AMAZING, EXTREMELY talented Dr. Grawe. She is also so sweet and very genuine. I knew that nobody but her was touching my butt. I went back and forth FORTH forever between sizes. Literally. To the point I probably drove her staff crazy, which I sincerely thank them for being patient and dealing with my crazy ass ????. So, it was between the 548cc and the 712cc. I really wanted the 548cc... It wasn't as heavy, and a little more natural looking, however, I just felt since I would be removing my implants and with all that skin to fill out and I wanted more of a "lift" effect, the 712cc (sub muscular, 15.7 in diameter, 6cm projection) would be the best option for me. So far I'm very happy. This surgery was such a breeze that I feel like I never had surgery today. Pain is minimal and managed with pain meds and I am up and walking around as well????. We will see how tomorrow goes. If anyone is seeking butt implants Dr. Grawe is #1 hands down. I will continue to update results. Check out Dr. Grawe on snap chat, her staff is so funny and all so cute AND you can watch all of her amazing procedures. So far I couldn't be more happier with results!!!!!! Dr. Grawe and her staff are all amazing, and very helpful. ??

I'm going through the same dilemma right now about size also. How did you end up picking the size? My reason for the surgery is that I have never been able to fill out clothes, and I'm scared if I go to too big I'll be upset that I won't be able to wear certain clothes for other reasons. I'm going back and forth between 434cc round and 548cc round. Could you please give me some advice! I'm not scheduled till May so I have some time. But I would love advice from someone with experience. I'm also using Roxy!

Feeling a lot better today. I am still swollen but I def do not feel like I just had butt aug done. I feel like I just went heavy on leg day. My energy levels are pretty consistent thanks to my pre workout supplements that I am still taking even tho I can't work out right now ???????? some supps I recommend for recovery are..
Arnica, Bromelain and Quercentin, Omega 3, a collagen supp (powder form) Pure Vitamin C (powder form), BCAA (I use Kaged Muscle, speeds up recovery) Probiotics (Garden of Life Raw is best) also a powder whey protein Supp because it is immediate delivery of protein and does not need to be broken down (again helps with recovery, I recommend Dymatize ISO 100, Quest Protein powder or Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard). I know that seems like a lot but they all have different benefits and I promise they all do what they are intended. My incision is almost healed and I am only 4 days out. If you want to pick and choose I would def recommend the first 2 for sure post recovery.

Thanks girl! I took a look at your profile as well :/ I'm so sorry I went through the same exact [RS bleep]*. It's so embarrassing, I stopped wearing certain leggings which is all I really like to wear. I had to watch how I would bend especially at the gym during certain exercises. It was such an interference to my life. To top it off they were under the and without my clothes on they looked like they were going to pop out of my body. Lol it was just horrible so I DEF feel your pain. She charged 7k, my first doctor charged me 10! I searched for the longest because I was determined at not only finding the best/top plastic surgeon, I was going to find the top doctor that performs this particular surgery. I have learned the hard way that just because they perform the surgery does not mean they perform it quite enough to "specialize" in it. Dr. Grawe is literally amazing and I would say one of the FEW doctors who is literally the best at every surgery she performs. She's there to make the patient happy and satisfied she does it without a doubt. Hell yeah, I was terrified doing this revision. So much I probably drove her office staff crazy going back and forth between sizes (548cc and 712cc) so far so good but after what I went thru I'm still paranoid of the final outcome.

I forgot about probiotics. I guess we all took antibiotics and could benefit from those, right?
July 25, 2016
Yeah girl for sure! Probiotics just help clean you out. They are basically a bacteria that remove all the harmful bacteria from your body. Not extremely necessary for surgery!

Thanks for this! Huge fan of Garden of Life as well. :)
Looking better every day; I think the 712's suit you perfectly!!!

I mean it's still a year away (the surgery). I still have to have my breast revision, which was scheduled for April, but the lady who did our taxes messed it up and instead of getting back a huge chunk of cash, we got NOTHING :`(
July 27, 2016
Ohhh. Ugh well I'm sorry. And plastic surgery sure the hell isn't cheap. Breast revision will probably be my next surgery. Mine are just to damn big, I want to go smaller. Dr. Grawe will do that for sure too lol

July 27, 2016
Dr. Grawe will make them look amazing. She can seriously do no wrong. I'll be seeing my current surgeon here in ATL for my revision... unfortunately, I know it won't be my last revision because someday I *dream* of getting custom silicone breast implants from Dr. Domanskis but that's years off lol
July 26, 2016
Hey! I seen you on her snapchat!!! You look great!! So much better! Who was your original dr who put in your old implants?
July 27, 2016
Thanks babe! Dr. Makhlouf in Chicago did my implants. He only does under the fascia.

I'm soon glad you got the 712's... I think you already look INSANE girl and I totally think you are right, that the 712's filled out the skin better than the 548's could have done. I'm subscribing to this review and can't wait to hear more updates, and see more pics! YOU LOOK AWESOME! Congrats and happy healing, hun!
I plan on going to Dr. Grawe, because she is the only doctor that I know of, who has successfully and consistently done implants this size, at least in the intramuscular location and not just under the fascia.
