Getting Butt Implants After Weight Loss: A New Journey

I won't be getting my implants at the same time as my butt/ thigh lift after all. Dr is concerned about added tension that the implants may put on the incision line, given how much skin I want removed. Of course I'm a little disappointed to have to wait a bit longer, but I don't want to have any problems with healing! So, I'll be looking at next spring, and with an incision in the upper butt crease (ugh!!). For some reason that incision scares me. Still planning on round, intra-muscular.

I'll update after my surgery in October. Best to all who are getting their implants this year!! :^)

The more I think about getting implants the more excited I get! At first, when the idea of implants was suggested, I was apprehensive. Implants in the breasts are one thing, but anywhere else seemed to be a foreign concept to me. Obviously I've come around! :) if these will help me get my shape the way I'd like it to be I'm willing to give it a whirl. Surgery should never be entered into lightly, so I'm really checking myself and doing my research. And the more I do, the more I'm convinced its the right thing for me. I'm doing my due diligence too, to make sure I exercise and tone as much as I can. Jillian Michaels Killer butt and thighs work outs are now in my weekly routine!

I've been reading more about butt implants, and it sounds as though they won't ever have to be changed out. As long as they don't move or develop a contracture. I'm going to go with round implants, as opposed to oblong. And, they will be intra-muscular. These two factors minimize the risk of movement, I believe. So I may never have to deal with any butt implant revisions. That is a huge bonus to me. Of course the healing process can always throw a surprise in the mix, but I'm staying positive!

I also asked the doctors here on RS whether butt implants could cause a problem during airport screening, too. Never know! I mean, a gal has to prepare for any eventuality! I do travel quite a bit, so it didn't seem like it was too unreasonable to ask. A doc said no, they won't be seen and shouldn't be a problem.

Well, all for today. More to come.

Went shopping for some new clothes today. Great thing about getting smaller is fitting smaller clothes. Bad thing about fitting smaller clothes is having to buy whole new wardrobes. Getting expensive. But....I've found myself a tailor, so maybe I can salvage some pieces. Anyways, I bought myself some really cute pants, got home and promptly did a fashion show for myself. Then it crossed my mind....will I have to go up in pant size when I get my implants? I surely hope not! Anyone have any thoughts on this? Anyone who stayed 400cc or less....did you have to increase your pants or pantie size? This isn't going to change my mind about getting them. I just want to know what to expect. I know I still need to post pics. Will this weekend. Not gonna be pretty...since the befores are going to be before my lift...so just warning ya'll! If post-weight loss ass and thighs bother ya, don't look!!! :)
