Ok swelling is going down n the butt is getting smaller... Not sure about this. Can someone please explain fluff up to me? Logically I don't understand it.

Ok so today I returned to work 2 days shy if two weeks! Major set back. I was soooo swollen I couldn't stand or sit up without being in pain. Heck I has to leave my car at work and have my sister pick me up!! I wish more surgeons will be honest about the recovery time. I say this to anyone considering butt implants. You honestly need about 3 weeks least before going back to work and that may not be enough time....

Thanks. I'm officially 2 weeks out as of tomorrow. To be honest there are softening up quite quickly and the incision is healing pretty well. Swelling is almost gone but I have to take things slow so it doesn't flare up. I think in two more weeks I will feel 90% normal. Best part is they actually feel like a toned ass! Not palpable at all... How did ur bbl go?

After two weeks of pain and discomfort, I can say I feel real good about myself. I'm able to drive short distance and work all day w/o much discomfort. Maybe some Aleve here and there but I'm getting better each day. I'm still taking it slow until I am completely 4-6 weeks out but the last couple of days have been a great improvement.

Hi Secret ;-) Congrats! Ur bottie looks great! I was wondering are you satisfied with the size? How did you come to a size choice? I got a TT with Lipo sculpture and a BBL but I hate mmy BBL I got dimples and it uneven. So I thought if I gained alot of weight I would do it again w a different dr. Now after gaining 16 pounds purposely I think I am gonna get implants. Since you had a BBL before are u glad u did the implants? Thanks soooo much. Appreciate your imput! Again glad to hear ur well and ur turn out is fabulous

Hi Dyna, I was big (for me) biggest ever so I now Dr. could have done better. He lipo'd stomach and back and could have done thighs and said he would do my banana fold because it would have made it looked projected. I always wanted implants but when i went to many surgeons they said get lipo and gain weight for a transfer if you can. So I did ;( I weighed 140 before sx and I am 5'4 (have huge boobs tho) still there was alot of fat. Now Its lumpy and uneven ;( Now I am 147 and determined to get round 2 or implants. I worry cuz I know I will get down to 130 (thats perfect for me~size 4) waist is 26 but the booty is sooo sad

@notdone bbl is great way to go u have more options in the future as to we're if u get implants u may not ever b able o do a bbl in nea future I feel as we already doing ps why not try to contol our bodies as much as we can I'm happy I didn't get implants I think it would've ruined my life I'm safe now with a bbl now in I'm gonna be breast implants in this it butt implants is scary in what will your future butt be in 10 20 years
April 14, 2013
@dyna bbl disolves over time. Butt implants can be very safe if done with the right surgeon. Not many surgeons are skilledb at this procedure, but the ones who are can give u a lasting permanent result!

@notdone. Thanks. I am glad I got implants. I wish they were a bit bigger but after I heal I plan on focusing on working out gaining an inch or two in my butt. Yes I did the bbl twice trying to get "natural" results but it didn't last both times. Each doctor told me they do it in a way it does last and their technique is different and blah, blah, blah. I even gained weight for yhe procedure amd was just left over weight at the end if the day. Bottom line I didn't get as close to the results that I was looking for so I gave in and got the implants. I do wish my dr had more options bc I would have opted out for round or a special order oval at a higher CC. Widder suggested the 564cc that I got and that's how we pretty much came up with the size. I wouldn't suggest anything smaller to be honest. After going through this recovery I can't see myself doing this again unless medically needed. Let me know if there are any questions u have. Always happy to share thoughts and encouragement.

Just my 2 cents, if its uneven you will want to get that taken care of even if it means doing another bbl. but from my experience that results don't last so maybe u can get implants if u don't like ur results the second time. Although I heard the healing is longer with the more fat transfers you do but I can't imagine so. After the two week mark I was fine.

@dyna I always had a figure but as we age things change. So I wanted the but I had in high school. I don't have any kids right now. The first time I got the bbl was more for the lipo benefit to shape my stomach and add full to my back side. It literally looked good for 6 months. I was disappointed. The largest I've been in my life is about 165 and I loved having more butt but I don't like the boobs n fullness of the face that came along with it, so I dropped the weight. Just couldn't keep the extra weight. So of course the butt went along with the. But I did another bbl that I gained 15 pounds for. I was around 145 at that time, went to another doctor who claimed his technique is so much better n transfers the stem cells n blah blah blah. That 2nd bbl was worst then the first. Did leave me lower back with very nice definition tho. But I was tired of being lied to so I gave up and got implants. Now I can still be 130lbs or less, have a 25 inch waist, slim face and still have a booty. Can't wait to hit the gym so I can tone this stomach even more and lift my butt some, maybe adding an inch or two :-)

So my surgery was scheduled for March 27th. I was so anxious and nervous. They had to give me medication for my anxiety. The anesthesiologist was awesome and the nurses were great. My surgery last all of 3 hours. It felt weird not being able to feel my legs for such a long time. I got the epidural which didn't feel like much. I did not feel anything during the procedure. Actually I feel asleep a few times.

I previously had a BBL which left me with a lot scaring. But when I say the results are worth it, they are. I know I'm still swollen but I known the results are here to last. I'm a little too excited to type my review, so I'll have to update my review later... Please feel free to ask any questions.

How much did you weigh? Would you say the BBL fat deposits last in your butt area? One of my concerns is because I am small having a BBL with no enough fat to transfer and even with that being done the fat absorbing back to pre surgery size.
January 28, 2016
You said you previously had a Bbl did you have any fat nerosis ? What do you mean by scaring I just had fat nerosis "dead fat" removed and implants put in two weeks ago I'm so nervous I'm still in pain.

Ok, I'm almost 3 weeks out and I can honestly say things are looking up. I can go to work without much discomfort. I take an Aleve in the morning for the most part and lay on stomach for the remaining of the day. Most of my swelling is almost gone. I was even able to go out for lunch tomorrow. I'm starting to like my results more and more daily but I will keep ya posted. I just can't wait to work out and really see the results I want..

Hey Secret! I am two weeks and one day out after getting my butt implants done. So we are in the same boat! It didn't hurt as much as I thought, but not being able to sit or lay properly is getting really annoying... I just keep thinking of how happy I'll be to finally have a booty!! Hang in there sister and message me with any questions or concerns.
April 14, 2013
I can't wait until the day we all " forget" that they are in there. Today, it seems like that day will never come. But some day it will.....I hope!

what do you mean forget that there in there? Do they feel a certain way. I thinking about getting implants.
User Avatar
April 16, 2013
They don't actually feel like implants. It feels like a tight muscle. Very natural. Sometimes when I look at myself, I'm like dang, I've really been working out forgetting I've had implants.
User Avatar
April 16, 2013
Just before so that that won't shift dont forget their implants in it capable of moving I was thinking to get implants in the future I'm Judy really scared best of luck also I was told of I get implants that I would have to slow down working on my job I do construction in alot of things could go wrong
April 16, 2013
That's weird. I'm a personal trainer and do a lot of heavy lifting and I'm totally fine. Hasn't even been 3 weeks and I'm ecstatic! Couldn't be happier. Back to work full time, driving every where...with a perfect, perky booty. I've seen too many people who have gotten bbl and then 2 years later had to go back to get implants. If you don't need the lipo and are happy with all ur other body parts...why take the chance?! Just my oppinion.

I can kind of sit. Basically leaning far forward. Laying flat on the ground feels REALLY weird!
