Ok here it is. Hey girls, I'm 6 months post op. I know it's going to sound crazy but I still don't fully sit on my butt, because part of me is still scared that I'm going to lose volume of my butt. I'm very pleased with the result as far as how big it is, because I made it very clear to my dr that I didn't want to have a huge abnormal looking booty. I just want a round cute one. And he gave me exactly what I wanted. I'm going to have tummy tuck done with Dr Mel Ortega in January 2015, but I'm going to post a separate review for that. I just wished I could've found Dr. Ortega first because it would've saved me a lot of money, and he does an amazing job.

Wow you look great! did you do any additional dieting/ exercise after the surgery? Your results are awesome !!
January 14, 2015
Thank you! I didn't do any diet or exercises, the only thing I watch is my salt intake, I tried not too eat/use much salt, it's hard.

Swelling is going down slowly but surely... I'm itching like crazy!!!!!! I feel like I want to rip my skin off. Benadryl and a lot of lotion helps though. My figure starting to show a little... I know it takes time for all the swelling to go down, but I'm so impatient and the itch doesn't help.

Not much change with before and after picture. If I was you I will make him redo the job. Ridiculous how those us surgeons ask so much money and they won't do the job right. Check Duran or yilly's work of art big difference. Not trying to be negative just been real.

Did you have upper and lower flanks ( I've gone to Dr.Alavi for lipo ) you should have ZERO fat in back and completely flat after bbl ? Very much would like to know I'm scheduled with him April 7th. Google Dr.Miami and Dr.Jimmerson in Atlanta for comparisons . Looking at your pics I do see a difference but not as it should be no offense at all,I know it depends on where you had your lipo any info would help ,thanks so much .

Back to work for 2 days now, driving was very uncomfortable, haven't really had any pain this last two days though. My lower abdomen area is very stiff, more like numb. Pubic area is still very hard, bruised and swollen, nothing abnormal though. Dr Alavi said that the compression garment is pushing all the fluid down there, but the swelling will go away overtime. Here goes some close up pictures, sorry for the mess in the background.

Were you in lots of pain. How much did he put in your butt each and when do you go back to wirk
October 30, 2014
Yes I was in a lot of pain, the 3rd and 4rd day post op were the worst. But walking helps a lot with the stiffness, but don't overdo it. After that it's more sore then anything. For the first week after , you're gonna need someone to help you pull the garment up when you put it on, depends on what kind of garment the dr give you. For me I needed someone to help me because everything on the backside of my body was really sore. The dr only put 500 cc on each butt, i thought my butt looked weird and square in the beginning, but then it droops to round nice butt. I went back to work 3 days after I got home. I was really stiff the first day of work, I'm on my feet all day at work and I walk around a lot, so it was a little challenging the first day.

Should I ask for extra pain medications :).. I am so nervous
October 30, 2014
Don't be scared, you'll be just fine. You're in good hands. I'm going to be honest with you though, recovery is a little challenging, but nothing that you can't manage. You'll get use to it after a while, just like me.
October 30, 2014
Nooooo don't be nervous!!!!! You'll be fine. I don't think you need extra pain medication, but they will refill your prescription if you run out and need some more. Are you flying there or driving? If you're flying, make sure to request wheelchair assistance.

You're welcome!! You survived tummy tuck, you'll be fine with this one. If you think of anything to need to know about this surgery, based on my own experience I'll be more than happy to answer it for you. :-)
