Hello Beauties!
So, I have slowly but surely put myself back together after losing around 100lbs after my 2ndaughter pregnancy.
I lost the extra weight withas a strict diet, exercise and *breastfeeding.
Sadly to say that after all of my hard work I was left with sagginess/extra skin in my breasts, abdomen, buttocks and thighs :(
Soooo, I decided it was time to start correcting/ filling it in ;)
Overall, I think we all want to feel sexy and confident in our own body, so that it when I started my plastic surgery journey back in 2014 with my breast augmentation, then a tummy tuck and a BBL in 2015 (performed at different dates and by different surgeons)
And now, the best and kind of scary journey of getting buttock implants.
I have read through probably ever BBL and Butt implant review on realself.com, and that was how I finally found the perfect doctor- Dr. Grawe in Powell, Ohio!
After reading through so many reviews I noticed some women have tons of issues after this surgery and that is a scary thought/feeling....but I can safely say that I feel less nervous now after having Dr.Grawe as my plastic surgeon.
I had my butt implants surgery on Friday September 23rd, 2016 at around 11:30am
I was back at my hotel around 5ish and I stayed a total of 4 days post-op (5 days including the pre-opp appt with the doctor)
I'm back home here in Texas now, and the flight back was actually waaaay better than I could have hoped for. I flew southwest and they were so nice that they let me take-off and fly the while way laying down on 3 seats (a whole row) since neither of my flights were full.
I also suggest having an air mattress in the back of the car/Suv of whoever is driving you or picking you up, since I had this done for me and it was super comfy!
Okay so back to my butt implants review..
I have the 712cc aart implants, I have a saying that since I live in Texas, we "Go Big, or Go Home" lol.
And I'm so happy with the size and outcome these implants gave me.
As I wrote earlier I had a previous BBL in Miami, and my outcome was really nice at first, but after around month 8 or 9, I noticed I had lost more volume then I desired to lose, and my buttocks area still had the dreadEd cellulite that made me feel super self-conscious and my butt was just not round or perky enough.
So, that's where Dr. Grawe stepped in and fixed my issues. She even addressed the cellulite which I hadn't found any other doctor able to offer.
I will post some pics and keep ya'll updated every chance I get.
So far, so good though and I couldn't be happier with my results :)
***Oh, and I also highly recommend buying a "go girl" or a female urinal if you are going to have this procedure done or a BBL, it comes in handy and so does a fanny pack so you can neatly and gently tuck your drains into it without having them hang and swing around everywhere.
It's my 1st day back in Texas so I am going to get some rest, stay hydrated and eat a ton of protein...wish me a speedy recovery ladies!!!
I wish you all the best too :)

Happy Healing! Thank you for sharing..i love it!!!
September 29, 2016
Oh and can you tell us what she did to correct the cellulite? I also had a BBL lost volume and now have cellulite all over my buttocks
September 29, 2016
She went in to each cellulite dimple with a small scalpel like tool, and released the fascia from underneath the skin. I will keep everyone updated as soon as I lose some more bruising:)
October 2, 2016
That's amazing... I'll be sure to request that she do the same thing for any cellulite on my own bum when I go in to see her :)
Did you charge extra for that, and if so, how much?, if you don't mind my asking??

Yes, she does charge extra. I think it depends on how much cellulite you have though. I paid $800 additional plus implants. I think what really cost the most was the hospiral and anesthesia fees. Dr. Grawes prices are great!
September 29, 2016
Great outcome again from her.. Congratulations
September 29, 2016
Yay congrats girl! Im on my way now to see dr.grawe! Im so excited and so nervous did i pick the right size , pain, complications etc but shes never had to take any of hers out and they always look amazing! So what are you in now im going to buy some spanx here in ohio n she says they put u in a binder . what do u sleep in ? Hows the pain from 1_10? N r u traveling back to her to get your drains out ?
September 29, 2016
I bought a few different compression garments. The 1st one that I'm in now is very stretchy with light compression while I have my drains in. I bought the Spanx type of shorts at the Walmart there in Ohio. My 2nd garment will be more compression garment and more of a fuller body type garment once my drains are out. And no, I will be having a PS here in Texas removing my drains.
Pain level is not bad at all, but I have also had a few proceduress done so I am familiar with post-op pain. But I would sat my butt definitely feels heavier. Lol
And I sleep in my compression shorts as well. Pretty much 24/7, since they keep my cheeks compressed and feeling better. Good luck to you in your surgery, Dr. Grawe is amazing :)

You look fabulous ... Get some rest... Did you get fat transfer too?
September 29, 2016
Thanks! And no, I did not have any fat transfer during this surgery.
I did have a BBL done back in November of 2015 with a surgeon from Miami. But the results were uneven and I still had cellulite and lost too much projection after about 7 months.
Lucky for me dr. Grawe was able to fix the unevenness without extra fat transferring. She is the Best!!!

Wish I had heard of him before I already paid up...my surgery is about a week away w/Station
September 30, 2016
I'm sure you will get great results too. Stanton has great results too! Besides, I looked at your before pic and you don't have any cellulite, and from what I can tell you have a nice butt already, so im sure you will get a nice result too :)
Plus, stanton doesn't use drains so that should be nice! Just don't sit on your butt during your drive back, and take it easy during your recovery. I wish you the best!!!

Hi. Just saw your review, but your pictures aren't visible...? Did you delete all of them?

Pre-op picture
nomorejiggleSeptember 28, 2016
This picture was taken the day before my surgery. You can see how I needed to get more fullness in the lower part of my buttocks on the right side. After my BBL in Miami, I was left with a fuller left butt cheek and an uneven right butt cheek.
Dr. Grawe was able to correct this with just the implant (no extra fat grafting)
She also corrected the cellulite I had on both buttoaks. I will update with more photos once the bruising subsides

How did she fix your cellulite? How tall and what do you weigh? I am thinking of doing a revision with her. Love the results!
September 30, 2016
I'm 5'6 and weigh 148lbs.
She fixed my cellulite by using a little scapel tool to go into each dimple/cellulite right beneath the skin surface and released the fascia, so it will smooth out the dimple appearance. She said this technique is only guaranteed for about 2 years, but might last longer. No one really knows what causes cellulite, but I think I got it from my genetics since all the women in my family have cellulite...and i gained a lot of weight and lost it really fast which i think made it worse..anyway I am hopeful that if I keep a good diet and don't gain too much weight/lose a lot either that my cellulite will not return. I guess we shall see, I will be sure to keep you posted as things progress.

So amazing !!! You have me wanting to change from round 2 BBL to implants lol
And I also had a consult with him, and another well-known surgeon from California. But I know I made the best choice for me by going to Dr. Grawe. And I did tons of research on this site and looked at so many before and after pics/reviews before making my final decision.
As for the travel, I had to go to Ohio alone, so I hired a home health care agency to have someone watch me for the 1st 24hours post-op which is extremely necessary, but pricey.
I wish I would have had someone accompany me there the whole time because that would've made everything much easier. So, if you have a friend or family member who will go with you I would suggest it, but if not don't worry too much since I was there for 3 days with no extra help and I did fine.
I most likely would have stayed longer if I had someone with me. Now that I'm back home l feel like I can rest more and I have lots of help around the house so I'm working on recovering and resting as much as I can. Good luck on your journey!!
