Reconstructive surgery with Butt implants and Hip implants

Today I am officially a week post surgery.
Recovery the first 3-4 days where the hardest. Omg and when you finally go to the bathroom for n.2 it is not easy but you get it done. For those days I had all my medications like muscle relaxer, antibiotic, pain med, all going but the antibiotics finished so by day 4 I only took pain and muscle relaxer med. by day 5 I only took Tylenol and by day 7 nothing. Oh wait I do still take my stool softener. The first few days I notices my right hip more swollen so i made sure i compressed, rest and iced. Now that area is better but my left hip didn’t go down amd feels like fluid is collected in the bottom. I have now requested to see Dr Stanton to determine if that is ok or if he needs to drain it. Which ever way hope it resolves quickly ????. Yesterday I took a walk that felt hard to move normal but it did make me feel better after. I know is good to move but I am been cautious of listening to my body and take breaks a few steps. Feeling blessed and hopeful.

Today I had my postoperative appointment and I went it feeling better than the days before. I spoke to Dr Stanton and he mention that I had very dense scar tissue that he had to really work with it to try to give me the most in projection but also keep it safe. I understood that since my case is not like most. I still was pleased with how the outcome is looking. I trust that he did best to give me what we had talked. Now that he has seen what that tissue feels and looks like he was able to talk to me about my options. He believes I will get more projection as the muscle relaxes as time passes by. I asked him in his opinion what would be the next size up I can exchange implants for. In not looking for a minimal difference but much more than what I have. He suggested going up another 2 inches from where im at and if I wanted more then I can do again. I believe I would be ok with 2 more inches in the projection spot. It will have to be a costume made implant though since its bigger than the general options he had in stanton anatomical butt implants. I know this time around he hadn’t seen my internal tissue prior to surgery and that’s why he couldn’t fit what we wanted to but now hat he had seen it Im looking forward to exchanging it for those 2 in extra in projection or hopefully even more since we where talking about it considering the tightness of the tissue he did work with. If my tissue relaxes more that even expected he can go bigger than that. I may not like having to do another procedure but I am now looking forward to it. For now I thank God and Dr. Stanton for making my body look better and almost getting to where I feel healthy in my mind and body. Its has been very draining mentally and physically to wakeup every day seen how I can only wear sweats that are baggy or using pads to cover my deformity. Been always aware of not moving freely because it shows if I bent or walk fast. Having to wake up to do that every day and every time u go to the bathroom to adjust your self. It all is very debilitating mentally. I know my scars are there but I want to feel comfortable to wear anything I want to and move freely. Today I couldn’t help my tears of been thankful to Dr. Stanton and his staff. If he can do the job he did with me in my hard case now in others with out that issue he is amazing. I hope as the look keeps changing I become more in love with my outcome.

Thank you yo all those that have prayed and send all their good wishes to me. I hope u all well and we all keep supporting each other.

I will post pictures once Im with family and they an take the picture.

Byw.. I have now 420 stanton anatomical butt implants and costume made hip implants.

Two days ago was my surgery and everyone there was very professional and welcoming when I arrived. I was welcomed at Dr. Stanton office by one of his nurses, fill out paper work, then was asked to pee and change. The nurse went over what to expect and each step before and after surgery. Dr. Stanton arrived and with a friendly attitude he took me to get marked and take pictures. Everyone made me feel calm and excited. I was taken to the operating room and the anesthesiologist explained what he will do and within seconds I was sleeping.
Woke up on my back and was asked to turn face down. Within minutes I was asked if I could get up. The nurse changed my cloths and helped me up. It took me twice to try to be ready. I felt nauseous and super lightheaded I couldn’t keep myself up. I used a walker and walking like an inch every strep I finally made it to the car. The ride was not bad since I still had anesthesia in my body.
Second day- I think it was the hardest since the pain is much stronger. Not sure but I think it was because all anesthesia was worn off and I was trying to only take one pill for pain each time. I was trying to avoid intaking double the pain med bit for night I did do that plus a Benadryl and finally I was able to sleep.
Today 3rd day- I woke up feeling better. But I see that for now is better to keep the dose a little higher in pain meds and then I will switch to Tylenol.

Main thing for me is that I felt sad when I woke up and was told I only received 420cc on my butt implants. Not near the 600 we had planned for. I do not know exactly the reason but was told he will let me know on my post op appointment. I still haven’t seen how I look since I have a compression band around my hips and butt. I did feel more swollen in some areas more than others. I’ve been icing constantly and it has helped. I just pray everything is ok. I will keep updating.
