Finally scheduled for January 3, 2012!! So very excited and looking forward to a new shape for the new year. Reading reviews and doing research for months now, I know how helpful everyone's reviews were to me in making my decision. The doc I have chosen had no reviews on realself but lots of BBL experience and great consultation.
So stay tuned for my review next week!

So I had BBL this morning! The facility at Staten Island was very nice and clean. The intake nurses and anesthesiologist could not have been nicer. They were very kind and professional. I met with Dr. Heller just prior to surgery and he spent time with me explaining exactly what he was going to do. Unfortunately, I don't so much have fat as just kind of loose flabby skin! However, I see that my love handles are gone and my butt looks big right now, although that is with a thick dressing on it. I woke up in the recovery room, amazed that I was all finished. I felt great, pretty much able to dress myself and stand around talking on the phone until my ride arrived. Very slight soreness in abdomen and butt. I have been warned that tomorrow could be quite uncomfortable but I am not worried at this point.
The doc only injected 300 ccs into each cheek of my flat little butt, but apparently has some of my fat frozen if I want to add more during an office visit with local anesthesia.
As a bonus, and at no extra cost, he was kind enough to inject a little into my laughlines on my face, which I really like so far. There is no bruising, just a little red dot at the injection sites.
I think as long as I can keep what I have, I will be very happy with my results!

Thanks! I will try to post pics in an hour or so.
Still amazed I am not suffering like so many others seem to. Just a little sore and swollen but I like my results already!

I still feel surgery was very worth it. I wish I had more ccs injected. I'm not sure why Dr. Heller is so conservative. I have appt scheduled in April for him to shoot some more of my fat into my butt.

Yes it is frustrating he is conservative! I wanted more volume too. However, I am still pleased with my results and also feel that my recovery was much easier compared to others, due to his specific methods. I felt entirely safe in his hands, facility was top notch and his staff is excellent. Wait til I post pics after my April visit when he will inject more ccs that he froze...not sure why he didn't inject all of it at once but I will take what I can get.

I also feel like the recovery with him would be easy. He said its not too painful after and that u should be fine in about a week. Would he have gone higher with the ccs if u requested? How much are u getting injected in next time? Sorry for all the questions I'm really interested in having him do mine he seems like a great dr and during the consult he really put me at ease with my concerns, minus the size!

I wanted more ccs!!! He told me only 3 to 400 ccs, which was honest of him. Seriously, easy recovery with him. I flew across country, I was extremely active. Did not have genital swelling or any of the other symptoms I hear about. Just took the pain pills so I wasn't too sore. My butt never hurt, only my belly and back was tender where the lipo was. Did you see my post-op pic? I feel like I look really different and my clothes fit better. No one says anything about my butt specifically, just "You look great!" Also, I am 47 year old grandma so maybe if you are younger, you will get even better results.
February 17, 2012
I wouldnve ever figure you were 47, you look good and I can understand if you wanted more volume. You can also see a difference though from your before pic. How much are you going to get injected on your follow-up?
February 18, 2012
I just checked out your pics and u look great!! I honestly don't think u had a lot of fat to begin with! That could also be why he didn't want to add more because it mightve got reabsorbed. Do you know how many ccs he lipo'd out? I feel like I have enough to put a lot in and extra to freeze for later lolll. I hope if I go for a second consult when I'm ready to book he'll say he can get a least 600 (each) in there. I would've never thought u were 47 u look amazing!
February 18, 2012
600 ccs each cheek would have been awesome!!! I only got 300 ccs each. He lipo-d 2 liters which seems to me I should have had enough. I just have to wait and see how much fat he will inject at my office visit in April. I could not get a number out of him. Also, be forewarned that he charges for this additional injection. We are still negotiating my price. Thank you for very nice compliments ladies! I think he is skilled and can make you happy, but push for more volume.
