1200ccs per cheek! - Aventura, FL

The countdown begins! I scheduled a BBL and breast implant exchange for April 24th with Dr. Salama. I've always been a fan of curvy figures and can't wait to have one of my own. I'm 5'6 and 150lbs, so I'm far from being a stick, but I want all of my curves in the right places.

I'm definitely hoping for the biggest butt my doctor can give me! Based off of my pictures, the quote I was given was 600-700cc to graft to my butt, but I'm hoping for at least 1000cc. Ruben suggested that I could gain a few lbs to get the results I wanted, but I really find it hard to believe I wouldn't have enough fat already. Hopefully when I have my in person consultation they will say they can do 1000cc+!

I already have 350cc moderate plus silicone breast implants that I got in 2008 and I'm hoping to go up to 500cc or 600cc. I'm still undecided because I'm not as concerned with having really big boobs as I am just wanting more cleavage. I'm hoping larger implants will cover more of my chest and give me the results I want. I'm leaning towards 600cc since almost everyone I know who has had a BA wishes they went bigger. I'm not unhappy enough with my breast implants to schedule a surgery for that alone, but I figured I might as well do it since I want a BBL.

Since I'm from out of town I'll be flying to Florida and having my consultation on the 23rd. I'm planning on staying in a hotel for about a week following the surgery. The flight is 2 or 3 hours and I'm not sure how that's going to be, but hopefully I can find someone else who has flown after BBL to give me advice!

I have a desk job, but I'm going to convert my desk to a standing position so I can stand most of the day when I return to work. I'll be sure to post pictures and measurements before and after! My boyfriend is going to be with me after surgery, even though he really doesn't like that I'm going through with it. I know he loves me the way I am, but I think he'll be happy with the results in the end :) If anyone reads this and is going to be having the surgery around the same time, let me know and we can be BBL buddies!

I scheduled my blood work for April 10th. I'm staying at a Hollywood Beach rental which is only costing me $400 plus a (hopefully) refundable $250 security deposit. I was hoping to find a rental unit instead of a hotel because I really wanted to have access to a kitchen so I don't have to eat out the whole time I'm recovering. I'm arriving Monday April 23rd and having my in-person consultation. My surgery will be the next day, and I'm leaving on Tuesday, May 1st. I believe Dr. Salama's office suggested 8-10 days but I can't miss anymore work, so 7 will have to do. I'm hoping my recovery will go well enough to be able to check out an event on Monday (no sitting of course, light walking).

I've unintentionally gained 15lbs (all of my pictures reflect this gain) and I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I really don't want to have this surgery just to be where I was before the 15lbs. On the one hand, I do want a lot of fat available for transfer, but only so much can be taken out and I should have plenty already! I'm trying to watch what I eat and lose at least 10lbs.

Took my measurements today at 39-31-42.5

My emotions have been all over the place leading up to this point. I've only told 3 people about the surgery and only 1 came around to getting excited about it for me. I was having second thoughts just because I was so nervous that something would go wrong, but I know if I canceled I would just re-schedule. Might as well get my sexy new butt NOW.

My surgery is at 8am Tuesday and I'll have a pre-op with Dr. Salama on Monday. I'll be flying in that morning. I'm going shopping this weekend for everything I'll need and I did manage to find one long skirt that I can wear out until I have the drains removed. For the flight home I just plan to wear a dress with leggings. I'm SO excited!!
