I cancelled my BBL surgery

September 2021 was supposed to be the day I lay on that table to get work done. After going back and forth with myself for months, I decided to cancel. As a mom of 5, the last thing I wanted was to put myself in a situation where I could possibly leave my babies behind. While I know many women come out unscathed, the risk was too high in my opinion. I started my healing journey, unfollowed cosmetic surgery IG pages and models, and began following fitness pages and women with similar body types as mine. I stopped comparing and decided to be my own body goals. Plastic surgery or the gym won’t fix insecurities; inner work is essential. You have to reach a point where you genuinely like who you are beyond the physical. It’s easy to lose yourself in motherhood and relationships but YOU are important. So with that being said, I’m wishing all moms who lost themselves in motherhood and relationships/marriages luck on healing and finding themselves. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

... Read moreAfter my decision to cancel my BBL, I realized how much I needed to share more about why I made that choice, especially seeing how many are searching for 'bad bbl' or 'bbl regret.' It wasn't just a fleeting thought; it was a deep dive into the real dangers and what it truly means for your body and mind. One of the biggest eye-openers for me was researching the actual risks. Beyond the aesthetic outcomes like an 'upside down heart shape bbl' or desiring a 'small waist BBL', there are serious health concerns. I learned about the potential for fat embolisms, which can be fatal, and severe infections. The thought of leaving my five children even for a moment was terrifying. Many people also face complications like asymmetry, prolonged pain, and even nerve damage. These aren't just minor inconveniences; they can significantly impact your quality of life. Then there's the recovery. Oh, the recovery! While my journey stopped before surgery, the extensive research I did showed me it's not a walk in the park. Queries like 'when can you sit on toilet after bbl' really highlight the practical, challenging aspects. Imagine not being able to sit normally for weeks, needing special pillows, and facing a long period of restricted movement. It's a massive commitment, both physically and emotionally. For a busy mom like me, that recovery period seemed almost impossible to manage without immense support, let alone the emotional toll it could take. Many 'bbl gone wrong photos' or stories of 'bbl fail' often stem from rushing the decision, choosing unqualified surgeons, or having unrealistic expectations. It’s not just about finding a clinic in 'bbl miami' or 'bbl houston tx'; it's about finding a board-certified surgeon with an impeccable safety record, which often means higher costs and longer waits. Even then, there are no guarantees. I realized that chasing a certain 'bbl before and after plus size' look wasn't worth putting my health and family at such a high risk. My path to self-love after cancelling involved not just unfollowing those idealized cosmetic surgery pages but actively seeking out realistic fitness journeys and understanding genuine body transformations. It's about accepting and enhancing what you have, not drastically altering it based on fleeting trends. I even started dabbling with apps like CapCut to document my workouts and positive affirmations, turning my focus to celebrating my body's strength rather than its perceived flaws. Ultimately, my choice came down to prioritizing my well-being and inner peace. The pursuit of an 'hourglass figure' or a 'butt lift surgery' became secondary to being present and healthy for my kids. If you're considering a BBL, please, do your homework, understand the full scope of risks and recovery, and most importantly, listen to that inner voice. True beauty and confidence come from within, not from a surgeon's table.
