So all in all I'm pretty happy with Dr. Lacerna's work. My butt turned out great. The issues that I had with her were her incision placement because now I have scars in places that are impossible to cover- like the middle of my stomach. I took my pictures down because I was really in my feelings about the scars. A person who knows nothing about surgery probably wouldn't think they were odd but they look bad to me. Dr. Lacerna offered to continue scar treatment for me but I moved out of the state. I received steroid injections while I was still there at her recommendation and now I have 2 hypopigmented scars which look much worse than the hyperpigmented ones. I'm going to start retin-a on the scars. I'll post Finn pics but I never really felt my back fat was effectively addressed. It improved but it was still there. I decided to get another round of lipo after gaining weight in Colombia and I will post a review on that soon.

Your body looks absolutely amazing. I'm thinking about going to Dr. Lacerna as well. Would you recommend?

I was happy with my overall shape but she put my incisions in the middle of my stomach. So if I could do it again I probably wouldn't just because I specifically asked her not to do that and she did it anyway. I like her technique and I didn't really lose any volume from my butt tho.

Not losing any volume that's a good thing though right? Like did your booty stay the same size? I had a doctor tell me fat injections only last 6-12 months.

Yes it's a good thing. My butt didn't lose any volume after about a month post. I lost weight and my butt got smaller, then gained it back and it got bigger.

So I realized yesterday that I didn't mention that I drove with a boppy for the entire 6 weeks. I didn't drive with it yestarday and realized how uncomfortable it was. I don't have a job thy requires that I sit for long periods of time. So that's not an issue for me. If I had to sit for longer than 30 minutes I used a stool instead of a chair. But at home I sat down unless it was uncomfortable and then I just lay on my sides.
