DR GRAWE - 5 days short of 9 MONTH POST OP Revision

Hi ladies, its been a while

Let’s recap – my revision butt implant surgery was on the 11th July 2016 with Dr. Grawe

Aart Style 2 oval – Custom oval 750cc implants, 5.5cm project with 120cc of fat transferred to each hip.

Back at the gym 3 months after surgery only working my upper body. Month 4, I started to work my lower half but no weights just walking on the treadmill. I slowly started incorporating weights on month 5 bit by bit. I also started using the Elliptical machine to get my cardio workout in. I’m now squatting with weights as I was before, between 120lb to 140lb. I started jogging on the treadmill about 3 weeks now (8 months post op), which I do for about 30 minutes max. I did try jogging on the treadmill at month 6 but my butt felt sore with the bouncing so I stopped and waited a few months and tried again, which I can now do without any discomfort.

I’m still babying my butt, not because I had/have any issues but I want to ensure that I’m fully healed without causing any problems along the way. I have a desk job so I STILL sit on an oblong cushion under my thighs as well as whilst I’m driving. Been to the movies a few times and took my cushion with me (I don’t care what people think), as those movie seats are so uncomfortable. The only time I feel discomfort is if/when I’m sitting on a hard surface for too long. I’ve also sat on a plane for 7 hours plus and took my cushion with me and had no problems. Again, I’m using my cushion because “I” want too and will do so until I’m 1 year post op with my revision.

My incision (I had one centre incision), has healed completed, I’d say about 6 weeks after surgery. Again, I did baby my incision to ensure that I do not have any infections and to ensure that my incision healed properly, no sitting on the toilet, no bending, no exercise, keeping it clean. I didn’t sit for 12 weeks whilst at work at all as I used a kneeling chair when I went back to work (see my kneeling chair picture attached). When I’m home I still lay on my stomach whilst watching TV. I wore compression garments for support for about 6 months. Again, I didn’t have any issues but I WANTED to wear them to help with the healing process and it gave me great support. I STILL sleeping on my stomach…..I’m going to do this until I’m 1 year post op because its something I want to do to ensure everything INSIDE is nicely healed.

I went home to see my family in February 2017 (7 months revision post op surgery) for the first time since my surgery in July 2016, and they were all asking me what I did to my butt, even my Brother. My cousins couldn’t help themselves, they were grabbing, feeling, rubbing and asking me how did I my get my butt this size……I wanted to see if anyone could have guessed or felt that I had implants, but they said nothing but.. GOSH your butt is amazing, its nice and firm I want mine like that ????. I said I’ve been working those squats and lunges and changed my diet somewhat ….. they all believed me. If I told them I had implants, I would get lots of negative, I know my family. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it ????

I’d say I’ve gone up 2 sizes in jeans at least. No doubt I’ve had to get rid of all my old jeans before my revision. I’ve invested in two pairs of high waisted jeans and they’re fantastic and compliment my butt nicely.

My hip measurements before surgery was 38”

Hip measurements a few days after surgery was 41.5”

My current hip measurement is 41.7”

I’m very happy with my butt and giving the look on some of the men’s faces who I see out and about they are too ????

?3 Months Update?

Hi ladies

I'm now currently 3 months and every day feels easier.





I started back at the gym on Monday but I'm ONLY working on my upper body. I plan on doing that until I'm 4 months and then I'll SLOWLY incorporate my lower body slowly. I'm still sleeping on my stomach, something I decided that I wanted to do until I'm 4 months. I'm also still lying on my stomach when I'm lounging at home. 







I've been out dancing a few times and it's been great (no pain whatsoever). I have a desk job so I'm still using my kneeling chair at work and my cushion under my thighs whilst driving. I do have to adjust myself on my kneeling chair every so often as I'm still putting pressure on the bottom part of my butt as it feels achy after sitting for long periods of time, but I'm still healing so it'll take time. I've forgotten my cushion a few times when I've gone out to a restaurant but I feel uncomfortable for about 5 minutes because I'm focused on "oh no I don't want to fully sit yet" but after that, I completely forget about. The lipo on my flanks and injected around the implants has made a big difference for me I think I have a little bit of shape now (meaning hips) :). Wishing you all well in your journey.


10 weeks

Hey ladies, I was 10 weeks Sunday gone and I took a few pictures to show you (its a bit difficult to take pictures of your butt yourself). I haven't told anyone about this surgery, only you lovely ladies. Someone asked my about my butt the other day at work (some nosey woman) that its getting big and I said "I know, its because I haven't been training, can't wait to get back in the gym to loose it"..... yeah right!!!! lol

I just wanted to keep you updated on my progress as this site helped me so much before and during my butt journeys. I'm still using my kneeling chair whilst I'm at work all day. I continue to use a cushion under my thighs whilst I'm driving. I went out to dinner a few weeks ago for the first time since my revision (as I've been making excuses) as I didn't want to put any pressure on my butt until 12 weeks (that was something that I decided to do. Dr. Grawe, told me I could sit after 3 weeks. I took my cushion with me to the restaurant and it made things a lot more easier. It was uncomfortable to sit back on my implants so I tend to sit forward whilst I'm out at dinner. When I'm home I'm still lying on my stomach and I continue to sleep on my stomach also. Whilst I was at the beach 2 weeks ago, I felt my incision stinging a bit whilst I was in the sea but I was in the water for a bit. I used a bit of Neosporin that night after I showered and its been fine every since. I still check my incision in the mornings and before bed to ensure its healing OK, which it is now (but my incision still feel tender every now and then and other days I feel nothing). My butt muscles still feel tight as my implants were large so it's take time for my muscles to stretch. I still use my binder at night as I had lipo on my flanks and I wear a waist trainer at work all day. I'm also still wearing a compression garment day and night as it helps to support the implants as they heal. I'm planning on going back to the gym at the beginning of October but I'll only be working my upper body and then ease my lower body into my gym routine.

I must say that some days my butt looks small and other days I'm like wowww.... so it's still healing and it's going to take time. The recovery this time around is a lot longer than my first surgery but that's to be expected as my implants are a lot larger. Overall ladies, I'm extremely happy :).

Dr. Grawe, was true to her word. She listened to me and told me what I'd expect as we're all made differently and I'm sooooo happy, that I listened t her. The staff at Roxy are also equally as nice and helpful. Thanks Roxy team xxx
