I have been doing online research about lipo...

$9,500
I have been doing online research about lipo dangers and risks and it's making me reluctant and has me rethinking my decision. Maybe I didn't work out hard enough or diet enough I dunno anyone else here ever have any fears or second guessing ?

I cannot wait to have my procedure. Me and my man...

I cannot wait to have my procedure. Me and my man of years broke up a little over a month ago... and I dont want to even start dating again until I have my BBL. I have been shopping SoCal Dr's like crazy and here is my reviews for anyone thinking of getting their surgery done out here

I went to Tarick Smaili with the California Surgical Institue he is board certified and quoted me $6500 for upper and lower abs and flanks with transfer to the buttocks I actually heard from my hairstylist without even telling her I went to him that he gave her friend a great boob job so I was excited but then read some mixed reviews online although none of the negative reviews were BBL clients still has me feeling a bit reluctant..

Then I went to Athenix in Pasadena The Dr seemed great very clean professional office the do the bodyjet water lipo then transfer the fat and you get local anesthesia meaning your awake but numb so after talking to another surgeon about this they informed me that she might not be board certified and much to my surprise after doing a little research and checking on the board certified site she is not board certified in Plastic Surgery big dissapointment I really wanted to go with this place but dont want to take unnecessary risks. Price they quoted $8200

I went to Dr Jay in Pasadena I dont like the places he said he will make his incisions plus he quoted 10k

I have an appt with Dr Bruno after Thanksgiving and Dr Affifi as well as Dr Bandy so I will update after visiting them. Right now my #1 candidate I am considering is Tarick Smaili if anyone has any feed back on him that would be great

Can't wait to hear more from you! When are your consultations?
I'm in nor cal near. No good bbl docs here. I don't want to travel too far so LA area is where I'm shopping. Only downside, seems they are more expensive ... How much did Dr Matlock quote and why are you doing the procedure again???
Dr smaili was my first BBL consult, being that I had a BA with him 5 years ago. I'm satisfied with my breast. I did not go with him because he was only willing to put 500cc into each cheek and i could not find very many reviews on him besides his website. I also had consults with Afifi, Chui (Beverly hills), dr ghavami, and campos. It was between Ghavami and Campos for me. And I decided Campos was the one. Good luck on finding you DR. Just do you research.

So like many other ladies here I have been...

So like many other ladies here I have been researching, considering and shopping this procedure for about 2 years now... I have ranged in weight over the years I am 5'6 I have weighed from 118 to 155 and never been able to achieve that ideal booty... I have worked out done squats like crazy tried supplements such as maca root and although I improved my overall shape not the show stopping body I been trying to get...so right now I am 144 I work out about 3 times a week basically eat healthy overall but I do treat myself from time to time I am telling myself I can either go on a crazy regimen and lose 15 lbs or take this healthy fat and have them pump it in my booty... so that is what I am about to do... I have visited 3 Dr's so far here in the LA/SoCal area and still shopping I will post up when I have finalized my decision...
