Today has been my first "buyers remorse" day

With all the procedures I've had and even the problems with my original brachioplasty I have never once said to myself that I wish I had not done something.  Well today was the day.....

I'm wishing I did NOT do the augmentation on the butt and instead just did a plain lift.  I think I'd be feeling much better even though I'd have a flat butt.  I'm not sure all this soreness and swelling is worth it. 

I can't pull my pre-op jeans up over my huge butt.....the jeans were loose pre-op (they are way big on the legs/thighs now but no way they will get around my butt).  Thankfully I fit into the new sweat pants I just got before surgery.

I may feel totally different in a couple days but right now I'm wishing I had not had the augmentation.

I had the exact same thing.  Really bad buyer's remorse after the first week.  Now, almost 1 year later, I am so VERY happy I had the autoaugmentation.  I can't imagine what I would have looked like without it.   Patients is a virtue LOL (I don't have it either).   Don't know why; maybe because we can't avoid this area (gotta sit), but the swelling in the butt was more severe for me and lasted longer than any other surgery.  So now I would actually like a little more.  Never thought I would EVER type that LOL! 

Hang in there, sweetie.  Big cyber hugs {{{{{}}}}}

Thanks Kathy that makes me feel a little better.

I'm just hoping this swelling goes down and the butt gets smaller because right now feels WAY TO BIG and I did not a big ole' JLo butt.  I know I have to be patient I'm trying not to over react.  I can a big difference in the swelling between day 4/5 and day 9....so I'm hoping by day 14 or 15 I'll see another difference (as in smaller).

Thanks for the encouragement  and hugs!!

PS - I saw your PM and replied....let me know if it worked for you.

I can finally see ALL your pictures, and WOW!   You look absolutely fantastic.  Something to be extremely grateful for; no butt crack spreadage.  I've seen it and it was my worst fear.  How smooth things look.  I remember seeing my butt immediately after surgery although I was High as heck.  That is what the final result has been.  I also had that nasty bruise on one of my butt checks and tons of swelling.  It took 6 months to see the final results.  We could be literally twins in the befores and hoping you get the same "afters."  I'll be 52 in Jan. Sending you lots of prayers, karma, and juju and, of course, very soft hugs.  I think you are going to be thrilled once everything settles down.

You are still really early out.  Not every surgery is the same and we may not all do as well with one surgery as another.  Just be patient and it will all get better.  I didn't have much swelling with my auto augmentation but tons of swelling in my belly and back.  I didn't have much pain in my butt either.  Just goes to show how different we all are.  This will pass and the day will come when you will feel better about it all.  Just hang in there!!

Thanks Melissa.....it is amazing how as individuals each surgery impacts us differently and of course we are all different from each other.  Guess I was having such a good streak with recovery I got spoiled...LOL

Hang in there - It has gotta get better right - probably feeling like it can't get worse . . .

I have not had anything done on the backside yet but I know that my flat butt not filling out my seat jeans does not look good either

Good Lord it has to get better I can't imagine it being much worse but I don't want to tempt fate and jinx myself. 
Thanks for the motivation to hang in there.....

((((hugs)))). I am sure once the swelling all goes down you are going to have one hot booty ! Good luck honey.

Thanks Tammy!

LOL...me...a HOT booty.....
In a couple years when I can join the senior citizens (55) club I'll have one smoken body....cost a fortune but worth it!!!
