6 months post Lipo + Mini-BBL

These pictures were taken 6 months after lipo and fat transfer to the outer buttocks by Dr F-G. My inner thighs have a better contour (not "thin" because that's just not my body type) and my rear end is rounder and more shapely, less square. I'm still very pleased with the decision, though I would say the contouring on my abdomen didn't really accomplish much and left canula-insertion scars in the bikini area that I thought were worse than just leaving the area alone.
I recently corrected the cellulite with Cellfina, very happy with those results as well.

Six weeks post Lipo and Mini-BBL with Dr FG

EveryOtherFreckle
Very happy with my inner thighs, so very glad I had liposuction. Even though the results are subtle, to me they are very apparent. I was worried the skin wouldn't re-adhere well but I think the opposite had occurred--I think the process of creating that trauma has kind of "tacked" the tissue in place and my inner thighs look firmer and less saggy than before. (And just FYI, I was not compliant in wearing my garment continuously after the third week.)

The outer buttocks still looks rounded, though I can tell not all of the fat "took." Or perhaps the fat just "settled" in. That's okay because I still have enough to maintain a rounder contour. I'm also very happy with how trim my waist looks after lipo. The back lipo STILL stings/burns and still periodically swells up.

The *only* negative has been the increased appearance of two dimples on my upper left thigh. These were barely visible before, but I think once the added fat created a larger outer butt cheek, the skin was weighed down a bit more, accentuating this problem.

Dr FG successfully performed subcision on a similar dimple on the right thigh...it's totally gone. On the left, the subcision missed the mark a bit. I'll need to find someone that can subcise those two little divots.

Otherwise, I'm delighted and feel it was all worth it. I'm wearing shorter shorts now!

Such an informative and funny review- you've had me in stitches :) Thank you! I had some terrible lipo and a BBL done by 'Dr Yilly' - I use quotation marks as there's no chance she did it as she's very talented - I've been left with a deformed tummy and asymmetries galore. Fully looking forward to visiting Dr Goico in January so he can get me looking normal again. I had a nice body before surgery- just wanted a bit of lipo here and there like you. Didn't realise the risks. You look great- very natural and slender. Hope you're still enjoying your results x

Two weeks post-op Lipo & Mini-BBL

Every day I feel better and better. The flank and back lipo areas are the only regions still swollen, warm, and tingly. I get those nerve "zings" if I twist too quickly. My lower back and hips and still numb and will be for a fee more weeks.

The bruising of the thighs has improved tremendously. My former drain site is still a little irritated and weepy. I'm keeping it bandaged...I wasn't before, and everytime I pulled up my garment, it rubbed this incision.

I stopped wearing the super-intense Marena compression garment after a week because I couldn't work in it. I'm now wearing a size small Taylor & Taylor stage 2 capri with an open crotch (eBay $77, great quality) plus a size medium "extra firm" Spanx Star Power open bust tank ($10 TJMaxx, bought a second on eBay for $25). This tank is extremely tight and compresses the flanks very well. It doesn't ride up. I highly recommend it. Even though I'm a small, there's no way I could get the small on. It's *that* tight. You wear your own bra with it.

At night because of the heat, I'm wearing a lightweight Spanx capri...it doesn't offer much compression, but since I'm lying down, I'm not as concerned.

My inner thighs are MUCH thinner even with the current swelling and I'm delighted! Waist looks much smaller, too. Butt still looks round. Yay!!!

You look amazing!! Happy healing! I have been following your journey because I want dr FG as my surgeon but it have been a week since I send his assistant my profile for a quote and still no answer. I understand that he is busy and I am not the only on asking for quote, but his assistant told me that she would have an email by Friday and she never did or answer my email today. Maybe this is a sign to move on;-(
Anyways, thank you so much for you wonderful details of everything; it truly help me a lot!
Thanks

That you look awesome and that all was well and smooth for you!!
And I laughed so hard to read about the Dr. Guapo incident!! ;) :) :)-
He is a very handsome men and I think his personality just makes his outer appearance shine more.
Your body looks really natural and enhanced!
How do you feel being back home now??
And can I will try and find the tank on TJmax since this summer I get too limited by the close I can use with this darn faja and I end up not using my faja as much as they say I should :(
Girl keep enjoying your awesome body!! :)

Thank you, Turquoise! I feel awesome. The back lipo still burns and stings, but I know that's normal. I'm SO happy with my thighs...I'm ready to wear shorts but they're so bruised! Are you going back to Dr FG for more work? I'll find the link for the exact compression tank and send it to you.

Soon you will be able to use the shorts!! :) I love shorts in the summer so I totally get your point! And gosh, the back lipo will get better but after almost 5 months I can still feel some stings :(. Would I like to go for more work..... Well, this darn surgery thing can be addictive and you always think, maybe a little more lipo here or there or maybe this and that :( but for the moment being probably no. If my husband or family hear me even joke about having more elective sx, they will send me to a psychiatrist. :)-
:) and yes! I would love the link!!
