  • 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.

I have been counting down the days with lipstick...

I have been counting down the days with lipstick on my mirror. Every morning when I wake up, I change the number. Today, It reads 14!
I've read mixed reviews from different people about different Drs. I still feel Dr Lacerna is the one for me.
I will keep everyone updated beginning with my pre-op March 4th. I will share before and after photos as well.
Not really nervous, but very anxious.
Wish me luck!

My pre-op - 47 yr old female finally getting my BBL

I went to my pre-op with Dr Lacerna today. Her and her staff are amazing. They made me feel very comfortable and eased all of my anxieties. I had blood work and an EKG done. I also took my before pics. That was very hard. I hate being naked in front of people. I even made my husband leave the room. But,I will show my before and after photos in a few weeks.
I took my ipad with a list of questions and concerns as well as photos of BBLs I liked and didn't like. Dr Lacerna and her staff took the time I needed to go over them all with me. I didn't feel rushed at all. They didn't let me leave until I was sure I had no more concerns.
The number on my mirror says "8" today. I have 8 more days!!
I will write more after I have the surgery. Praying all goes well :)

18 days post - op

This surgery has so many negatives and positives. Lets talk about the negatives first...
Nobody prepared me for the pain I was going to endure. I thought "I've birthed children and had a hysterectomy, nothing could be worse". Well, I was wrong. The pain I had to endure the first few days was excruciating! Out of all the stories I had read online, nobody mentioned that. Everyone just talked about their outcome. I want everyone to know, you will be in high levels of pain, you will have emotional roller coaster days, your garments will smother you at times, you will bleed heavily the first few days, you may experience claustrophobia like I did from sleeping on your stomach, and you will cry. But, the positives (?) It's all worth it!
The very first time I took off my garments, I was in shock at the bruising, but so overjoyed with my new body that I didn't care. I am amazed at the difference in my torso and buttocks!
I never dreamed I could have this small waist and big butt in one day! I was thinking about having a tummy tuck, but probably wont now. I will just exercise and tighten what I have.
Dr Lacerna and her staff were so attentive and listened to me go on and on about my expectations and fears. They continue to be very supportive each time I call in with questions. Im so happy I chose her!
I am uploading before and after pics my hubby and I took. He says the photos do not do the new butt justice..lol. He is in love with it.

When I met Dr Lacerna, she was the 4th surgeon I had visited for a consultation. Her bed side manners comforted me so much I chose her right away.
