I had surgery with Dr. Cardenas, and at first I did not like my results at all but as things healed and time went by I am in love with my body, my waist is amazing and my overall shape is crazy, I just wish the projection was better other than that she will give you an amazing figure......

What is BOOTY Projection

User Avatar
BlackGirlSwag
LOL basically a ROUND spherical ass that POPS and dimension from ALL angles
specifically the side..


Ok.. So I'm hearing a lot of people say that Dra.Cardenas asses don't have "projection" This has lead me to do some research... I'm finding that women saying this mostly are women from long distances & women who have had tummy tucks...

The reason I bring this up is because a long flight will have you kill FG immediately & If you have a TT (tummy tuck) at the same time you kind have to lay on your butt. no?

Another thing I'm wondering the "3 month fluff" what's up with that? LOL.. I plan to get a lil more than I would want so when the general 25-%30 re absorption happens I will still be pleased with my results..

I also live in SOCAL and my flight will only be 45 mins... I found a FAB way to sit on my boppy where my ass gets NO PRESSURE on it...

I have also been working on my expectations. I know Dra Cardenas is a DOctor not a magician but I was Butter curves with hips dips and a sexy delectable booty that looks GREAT dressed as well as undressed.

I have invested money in all the proper garments I will be staying at BH for a few days and YEAH I'm REEEET! To GO!

PLEASE SHARE with me you info!

I like Cardenas work and think she's a good doc but she will tell you that you need a TT in a heartbeat! That was ultimately the reason I decided to look elsewhere for a doc, because I went fo an in person consult here in LA and that doc said I did NOT need a TT. Not to mention no other doc I've contacted via email has said I need a TT either, so it's a bit suspect. Because just think, Cardenas said if you don't have the TT you won't get the best result but hten if I'm unhappy she could just say you should have gotten the TT, or even worse she could purposely not do good work just so you will think you should have gotten the TT and then come back for it later. But to be 100% fair and honest, she does really good TT's. I just don't need one. LOL

I feel you she has not recommended I get a TT... That was just some research... I found most of the unhappy people were people whom have had a TT or fly a long ways.. I have even seen a few whom have had prior Lipo SX... I know virgin fat is best. I'm not getting, nor do I need a TT :) Thank goodness never have any kids... I feel my skin has great elasticity & being really close to her office, I'm hoping for the best. Have you had work with her? I feel like idk... "projection" I'm not looking for a "shelf" like many say lol.. If I don't get what I'm looking for in that area Squats are AWESOME for that and show fast results... to have some good muscle for the FG to sit on :)

Yeah just be careful or research it, or ask the doc first because I read if you have lots of muscles that can make it hard to penetrate when they put in the fat because they do it in layers. Like in between the muscle.

EpiFoam Wraps & Pads ON DECK!

User Avatar

Ok so I just received my wonderful SX package From Biodermis.com

Epifoam Silicone back adhesive foam pads 7.75 X 11.5 ( for compression & drainage)
& Epifoam Silicone back adhesive foam wraps 36x11.75
See Here - http://bit.ly/16fs5W2

Epi-Derm Camo Silicone Gel Sheeting ( for lipo incision site wounds)
See Here - http://bit.ly/16HADpw

Silicone Gel Sheet Circles ( for lipo incision site wounds)

I am VERY excited about this b/c I feel as though many underestimate the importance of proper, even & constant pressure post op for compression, drainage & sculpting. These pads help with skin draping, basically, reattaching skin to muscle and they are VERY important for smooth even results.. thebbllife.blogspot.com for more information.

SOOOOO I plan to OD... Like a female epi foam Michelin man!! I will wrap the entirtey of my torso upper arms & thighs in epi foam. Silicone (sticky) side down... I plan to LIVE in my garments for MONTHS...

I am awaiting a package from ClassicShapeWear.com it will be here Friday...
I have attached a list of the things I have ordered from them as well..
I feel as though I'm saving SO much in the SX I have to invest in the proper
products... Once you leave the Doctor's office... the rest of the results are up to YOU!!!

SO NO SITTING, KNEELING, DRIVING, SEX, EXERCISING, SLEEPING ON YOUR BACK, MASSAGES TO THE REAR END , NO SPANKINGS, NO TWERKING, NO BUTTERFLYING.. .for at least 6 WEEKS... ALSO NO LUNGES SQUATS OR DROPPING IT LIKE IT'S HAWWWT!

WHY is EPI foam important....

When getting lipsosuction & or sculpture your
skin is removed from the muscle to retrieve the
fat... fluid builds up and if not properly drained it
can effect results.. There are also aesthetic results listed above...

I will also post Boppy Pillow tips & tricks & I will answer the following questions...
How to sit on a boppy pillow How to use a boppy pillow, what is a Boppy pillow, do I need a Boppy pillow, where canI find a boppy Pillow.. Thebblllife.blogspot.com
