I would wait till after. I know I lost almost all of my butt....I would hate for you to have this done and then at the end you have lost so much that you need it again. I am having plastics done now for my deflated stomach, boobs and thighs. good luck!

I know it's the opposite end of the body, but I had breast cancer, and wanted a double mastectomy before VSSG, and the surgeon told me it was best to wait, to go back and see him 6 months after....and oh boy i have pancak boobies!! lol (not for long)!!!!

I was wondering something similar. I want lipo/smart Lipo and I saw some pics where they were able to "fill" the lost spaces with removed fat.

I also thought about that too, I'm willing to do anything to prevent from being flat but I guess I'll have to wait until after surgery

Your body really does readjust a lot the farther out from surgery you get and the longer you live at goal. I had a pancake butt at one year post op but it seems to have filled out a bit in the last year, even though I've lost more weight. It's not like it used to be, and I'd consider the injections if I have enough adipose fat to do them, I guess.

So work on getting the weight off and really, maintain that goal for at least six months before doing anything. You'll be surprised how much your body bounces back. My entire body has a different shape now than I had a year ago.

Good luck,

It all really depends on your body type, too!

OMG. I was just thinking about getting this done yesterday googling doctors and everything. lol. I'm thinking of going to Atlanta because it seems like the injections are more popular there and ALL the girls have them. Anyway, I would definitely wait a while after surgery before you get the injections done. From my understanding they Lipo a minimum of two areas, purify the fat and reinject it into your buttocks. The problem is the healing time... 2-3 weeks of not sitting directly on your bottom. That's insane! Is this the same procedure your thinking about having? The procedure I'm referring to is called the brazilian butt lift. I thought there was a way to just inject something (idk what it would be) into your buttocks without the whole liposuction but I haven't found any other methods. I'm not flat now but once I get my wasteline back I want a donk :P:rolleyes: ! lol. Help~!

I had my p,antics after I got to goal. Dr. Sauceda injected the fat from my thighs into my butt. He also used the strip of skin that was removed during my lower body lift. He placed it at the top of my tush, under my waist to create a nice round tush.

I would wait until after you're at goal.

Oh my! Sounds interesting. Where is Dr. Sauceda located? How was your recovery? Do you mind giving us a ballpark figure of how much the surgery costs?

Hello, Dr. Sauceda is in Monterrey Mexico. My recovery is good but the butt flap augmentation is uncomfortable. I could lay in bed the same night but laying on the floor was too uncomfortable for months. I finally started back to Pilates Reformer machine classes after seven months.

Dr. Sauceda will give you a personal quote is you send him your pictures. Wear bikini panties. Pics of front, sides, back, raised arms etc. I also sent face and neck pics because I wanted that done. Email him at drsauceda@gmail.com. He doesn't have a secretary, so nely he sees your pics. I think the quote is good for six months. He was more than half less than what Kaiser quoted and he is a great surgeon who specializes in massive weight loss.

If you email him, tell him that Lee sent you.

Please be VERY carefull about this... My dad is a doctor and the horror stories he's seen from this would make me prefer the flattest butt to risk my safety for it... Its not like a regular cosmetic surgery.. The butt sometimes rejects even your own fat not to mention rejecting anything other and my dad has seen anything from rejections to death so please be carefull... Also my cousin had Lipo with a very recognized Dr. And he decided to inject fat in her butt.. It was rejected so 4 months later she had to go under the knife again to remove the balls the size of tennis balls that had form on her butt.. This is a healthy 20 year old and she had never had any kind of surgery or weight problems just a bit but not like we do so i just want ppl to know how dangerous this procedure is and not take it lightly and not do it with any dr just because its cheaper.. This is one of those cases that spending a bit more can save u from a lot... Including if u are thinking of getting it done in mexico having to travel there again to get whatever was rejected removed...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
