Oh no!  I'm sorry to hear that and I'm quite scared that's gonna happen to me too.  I'll have to make sure to tell Dr. Sauceda not to do any lipo on my backside, I don't care about my lower fat rolls.

Don't worry. Everyone is different. The surgeon and I did talk about that he may possibly do some lipo to my lower back fat. But I didn't realize that he did it, because the lower back fat is still there LOL. However i'm told that it takes a while for the lipo results to be evident.

I am not sure of exactly "how" lipo works with regards to surrounding areas. So, I'm not sure if the lower back effects the upper booty. Also, if he did do it to the upper booty, it could be due to the fact that my TT incision goes beyond my hip bone. Maybe he needed to create a little more "laxity" in this area for a reason?  I don't know. Either way, I'll deal with it. At least I still have the lower booty that's still there, it's just that the "shelf" part of my upper booty has flattened out significantly.  LOL. I do hope that it comes back though.

I hope so too for your sake.  My problem is that I have more top shelf than bottom shelf.  I don't need any fat sucked out of it.

I had some great projection before my body lift. For the first two months post op I was pretty lean. But then at 2-mos post op I fluffed again and my badonkadonk was back. Soetimes it takes a while for the tissues to loosen up. My breasts did the same thing. After the lift they were a B cup but at 2-mos post op they fluffed to a D cup.

Thank you for sharing this information, because I was worried about this too.

I had a Lower body lift and my butt was completely flat right after surgery. About 5 months after surgery I got it back. I think in time everything settles fills in again in proportion to the new body. At least that's what mine did.

Do you think you put on weight 5 months after surgery, or do you think that it just eventually filled in?

Keeping fingers crossed for the eventual return of the "top shelf" of my booty!
