I really wanted a nice booty
Its hard to say if the butt lift was worth it or not. It is absolutely improved from my pre op photos but absolutely not the ass that I wanted or expected. Dr. Capella said he would get rid of the squareness and make it round and pretty. But it remains square at 14-mos post op and thus it is my ultimate result.
My butt also is pointy near the cleft -- see pix in April 25th post. Dr. Mendietta calls this a dirty diaper ass and does suturing near the perianal area to fix it. Dr. Capella told me that he did not know if he could fix it but that he would try to correct it as best he could with the lift alone. I sure wish that he could have. It is what bothers me most of all about my ass. It can only be seen when I am nude so at least my ass looks decent in pants. But dang, I really wanted a nice booty, not a big JLo butt, just round and pretty.

If you lost another 25 lbs after the facelift haven't you lost even more between the origninal butt lift and now? That along with your bariatric induced skin laxity explains the sag, right? At 5 months it was perfect and by the 9th month flat, square and not husband-approved. So..it really didn't make that kind of change due to weight~it must be skin laxity. How is that not going to happen over and over again?

I haven't lost more since the butt lift and now. I had the body contouring just before the face lift. I know that I lost about 25 pounds since the body contouring and not sure how much was lost before I had the facelift. I am not exactly sure the point that you are making or question that you are asking. Might you clarify? I will do my best to answer now... So my butt is not saggy, in the pic I posted on April 25 there is cottage cheese on my right cheek, well that is not there any more. Lifting my butt again would have gotten rid of that but it went away on its own. Tissues move and settle after surgery. Originally I did not have that cottage cheese after surgery, then it appeared, now it is gone. Did exercise play a role? Possibly. Did the tissues move and settle? Possibly.

Luv those shoes!!! So Im planning a butt/thigh lift in late fall ... Any advise? Whats your lovely Dr Capella charge for butt/thigh lift. I like my butt now but its got a dent from a fall and it could be lifted im just afraid it will look boxy ...

I have a shoe fetish, LOL. Thanks. I would seriously consider the different techniques used for butt lifts and weigh that against risks/complications, costs, and results associated with each technique. A butt lift only (without augmentation) gets rids of excess skin and depending on your anatomy can result in a pancake ass, or not. Fat transfer can make a bigger rounder booty but the fat can eventually die and fall down giving you a droopy ass. Auto augmentation uses your own tissue and is repositioned but this can put the point of projection too high. Some surgeons also transfer fat to the hips, making them larger to make the waist look smaller and create an hour glass shape. Again the fat dying is a consideration. I have heard of doctors suturing the cheek into place as they lift the butt. I don't know, do the sutures break? SO do your homework and decide what is best for you then find a doctor who is tops at doing it. Two surgeons to check out are in Florida, Dr. Mendietta and Dr. Salami (or something like that). I paid one price for all four procedures so I do not know how much a butt lift alone is... guessing $7-10k???

After losing my weight I found that my tail bone is not so protected. When I sit or lie in bed I feel it. It's like sitting on a rock that can't be moved. I don't know if there is a solution to this after product.

I've been told it will go away but I am nearing 10-mos post op and it has not completely resolved. I can only sit on soft surfaces. Hard surfaces hurt. A few RealSelf plastic surgeons weighed in on this: http://www.realself.com/question/sit-lay-my-tailbone-3-mos-post-buttock-lift-and-continuous-chaffing-correct-pix?utm_source=umnotification&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=qapped&utm_content=question

I am 14-months post op and my tailbone still is uncomfortable although much better than it was, which was intolerable.
