Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I am looking around in prep for round 2 and am disgusted by the number of planted reviews I'm seeing. All sites have them bc business owners work the system to market their service/products, but if I see a dr w/ obviously fake reviews, I have to wonder if he/she is worth my time when they have to resort to such things. Shouldn't your stellar work be able to speak for itself? I'm starting my own personal list (not posting it) of planter docs to steer clear of.
Eh....Not So Much
I know I am extremely late updating this, so I am on here to close out this review with my final assessment.
All in all, I don't know that this BBL procedure was worthwhile for me. I'm not blaming the doctor though--the reason I don't blame him is that I had several areas done, and in hindsight maybe I should've just focused on 2-3 areas instead of adding arms and chin. I just wanted to get it all done in one stop instead of having to come back. But because I am not thrilled with my results, I'm going to end up having to go under again anyway for a round 2.
The changes in my physique are minimal in almost every area with the one exception being a more noticeable curvature above my butt at my the lower back. Otherwise, it's almost like nothing changed unfortunately. So, I will probably do a 2nd round in another year or so. Next time, I may go to the Dominican tho. My lymphatic massage therapist sees a lot of patients who've been to all the popular docs and she swears some of the best results she sees are from those who've traveled there for the BBL. I was nervous about going out of country for something like this, but am more open to the idea for next time around.

Feeling good 3 weeks post
The recovery phase is no joke, but I am over the hump and back to normal routines at this point. I'm still glad I didn't do a tummy tuck. At this point a lot of the swelling I had in the first 2 weeks has gone down, thank God. I have come to the conclusion the ace wraps and binder method didn't help my cause there. I finally bought a Marena garment after trial and error with other garments and shapers. I tried a faja from lipo,express, but the fabric irritated me and was hot. My Spanx put too much compression on the rear, so I took those off right away. Other shapers I had on hand caused swelling in my lower back and hip area. The Marena is MUCH more comfortable and provides firm compression. Highly recommend!
Also, I started getting lymphatic massages even though I was told its not something worth paying for. I would strongly disagree with anyone who says that. Every one heals differently, but the massages have helped tremendously with my swelling as well as softening the scar tissue. The masseuse I'm using is from Wellness Sanctuary in Atlanta, her name is Tiana: http://thewellnesssanctuaryinc.com/?page_id=190. By the way, she also can get the Marena garments at a discount which I wish I'd known before ordering mine but I just started working with her a week ago. I also got a 3panel medical grade binder on Amazon for $40 that is more flexible and adjustable than the single panel binders.
Now lets talk results, I will post pics soon, I promise. Now that the swelling is going down I am starting to see some nice contour changes--mainly in my waist and my lower back above my butt. There's a nice inward curve in those parts that wasn't there before. I haven't noticed as much of a difference in my chin or arms at this point. My butt is a little more projected than before and looks sexier in my opinion, but I can tell I will definitely need a Round 2. PS said he extracted 4100 cc of fat from my body, and injected 500cc in each cheek. I can't afford to absorb or lose 1 cc or it will look the same as my before pics. At this point, it's still looking a little bigger than Pre-op, so I'm hoping I don't lose any more volume. But I'm already mentally preparing myself that I will need to do a Round 2 at some point for the butt I really want. Hopefully the fat sticks even better with the second round, because I really don't want to have to do this any more than 1 more time.

Very kind doctor and staff, but my results were not what I'd hoped. I had multiple areas worked on which may not have been the best idea in hindsight. I'll probably do a 2nd round of BBL in 1-2 yrs. Read the last post for more details and pics.
