Just posted a new pic, Jan 14thYes, I did it.
I've been transitioning for 3 years now and I've always wanted a butt, so I did my research for about 5 months and chose Dr. Orlando Cerpa (
http://www.sdro.com/drfigueroa/)in Tijuana, Mexico. Why Mexico? Because in Mexico they use Cohesive Gel Implants (same as what they use for Breasts in the US). Oddly, Cohesive Gel Implants aren't yet FDA approved for butt implants in the US... so the US implants are hard and uncomfortable. I did lots of research and in my opinion, Dr. Cerpa is the best guy for implants... he is exceptionally skilled, and extremely nice.
The implants should last forever, but like breast implants, they tell you to check them after 8-10 years.
The recovery... it's not fun, 2 weeks on my stomach or my side.. I can lie flat on my back, just not very comfortable, and under no circumstance can I sit down. It was worth the recovery though.... I am 8 days out of surgery and incredibly pleased with my new butt. I am eager to get my drains out so I can see how cloths fit me now. I suspect I will have to get new pants though =)
This is the only picture I am allowed to post under the rules of the forum, if you wish to see other pictures, please message me and I'll send you a bunch of them... including before pics.
