Butt Lifts after Bilateral SGAP (Dirty Diaper)
Are there any women that were left with a saggy center buttocks (aka, dirty diaper) after SGAP? I have read where people mentioned secondary and even tertiary butt lifts after SGAP, but I have not seen any pictures of the process or had anyone explain the reasons why they did extra butt lift surgeries after Bilateral SGAP.
Is the SGAP a butt lift or are the procedures that follow it considered the butt lift?
How can the SGAP be considered a butt lift when it makes your buttocks saggy, which is the opposite of lift?
Has anyone been denied a butt lift after SGAP? Why?
Why aren't there warnings about this procedure so women can make an educated decision? I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. I can't keep this to myself knowing that by being silent, I would be enabling this to happen to other women. The SGAP procedure has been around for a very long time, there is no excuse for such little information available to us women to help us make an informed decision imo.
Where are the other women that this has happened to?
Did they get their buttocks fixed?
We have a right to fix our donor sites just like we have a right to fix our breasts.
This was done to me 3 1/2 years ago. I was not expecting my doctors to reshape my buttocks into a dirty diaper. The dirty diaper butt is considered a disfigurement. To do this to someone is unthinkable to me. Now, after the fact, having multiple consultations with other SGAP doctors, they have told me this is very common with this procedure and the SGAP always destroys the buttocks, it is a rob Peter to pay Paul type of surgery. This has caused great suffering to me and my family. I deeply regret everyday that I had Bilateral SGAP surgery. I don't understand why this extra tissue was left in my central buttocks on purpose. I am shocked that this is celebrated as a "successful" reconstruction in the breast cancer community. The whole point of reconstruction after breast cancer is to help the woman with a healing process of regaining part of her body back, but not to do it at the expense of disfiguring another part of her body and leaving her feeling more tormented.
Had I known that I was going to be left with a saggy dirty diaper butt with this procedure, I would not have agreed to let anyone do this to me. This has destroyed my life.
