Can't Believe I Waited This Long.... - Aventura, FL

Maybe I'm trippin for nothing.

Well... I'm about 16 days post op and I'm getting depressed about my results. I know I said I wanted a nice shape but I wanted a bigger ass. I don't want to seem like a brat so I'm trying to stay positive about my results but I'm only 16 days in and my butt has shrunk signifacantly! When I went for my 2 weekpost op yesterday, he was kind of dismissive and said to wait another 4 weeks to see where it is. I also still have rolls in my bra line that I thought would be gone... sad face. I think its definitely better than before but I wish I wouldve been more patient and went to Salama.

I've tried to write this review about 10 times even before my sx, hopefully this one takes. I'm a 34 year old mom of 4 amazing kids (15, 13, 2, & 8 months). I've always had the stigma of no ass, hips or waist. Ever since my I met my husband 9 years ago he has definitely gotten me comfortable in this bmw by always making me feel beautiful, even on my worst days! When I finally gave birth to our baby girl last September (all the others are boys) I told him that I wanted to get a tummy tuck... he one uped me and insisted that I get the bbl and the tt so that I can feel completely satisfied with my body. What a man?! Since i was so busy with this mom thing, I then put everything else on the back burner until March when i started getting that warm weather itch so I started shopping around and that landed me here! First of all, I want to thank you all for all of your reviews. They've help sooooo much. All of my anxieties and questions were answered through one review or another. Lets start with consultations.... they sucked balls! I went everywhere from the ps with commercials on the radio and tv to the ones with the advertisement billboards. It was a horrible process. Then RS gave me a start of where I should start to turn. I was scheduling a consultation with Salama in April but when Nancy saw that I was eager to get it done asap she quoted me 7, 999 over the phone and wanted the $800 deposit before we hung up and said it could be done the next week. I asked her how could she know that I'm a good candidate and what about my preop testing, ekg, and the fact that I smoke. She said I would be fine and I was a perfect candidate (5'5" 150lb) and a week of not smoking would be fine. Honestly since i was "green" with the whole bbl procedure and it was so soon in my quest I got a little leary and declined the offer. She also went on to tell me that 7, 999 was a special rate since I'm an in town patient.... after looking at other peoples prices its clear that she was hustling the sh*t out of me. I also ran into a few gyn's and internal medicine drs that do the procedure... scary much? Eventually I came across Pascual MD, they are not known for plastic surgery bc I think they specialize in other things. When I did my first consult there, everything seemed very comfortable and easy. Almost too easy so I scheduled a 2nd consult with the dr herself. She is an amazingly sweet woman and gave me a sense of comfort. When I realized that she had only been doing the fat transfers for about 2 years or so I opted to see some of the work from the ps that does the majority of their bbl's, Jeffrey Lagrasso. I saw what I liked, the price was sweet (5,750 - lipo of upper and lower abdomen, full back and flanks) so I scheduled my surgery for May 29th. Since I also need a tt, I was told to do the bbl first so I can get all of the fat to right places and when I get to the tt, I won't need the lipo... sounds good to me. I asked about lipo of my inner thighs since they were always a good size and it made it $500 more. Dr Pascual asked me to quit smoking and gain 10 pounds. That was on May 5th.
