“BBL Next Week in NY !! (Dec. 20, 2011)”
Spent: $7,950 in New York, NY
Soooooooo, recently ive been researching surgeons to have this procedure with .. i was stuck between Dr. Pakeman, Dr. Lefkovits, and Dr. Francis ... Im so excited to be having my brazilian butt lift on Dec 20, 2011 with Dr. Lefvokits ... I chose him because he is willing to do more lipo of unwanted areas for a great price, as opposed to others charging almost $4000 per area (arms, thighs, legs, flanks, abdomen) ... According to my doctor, i dont have much fat .. he may only be able to inject 300 cc's into each buttock and some into the hips ... This concerns me because i am afraid i may not see a difference in size or shape :-/ ... And its general anesthesia so that freaks me out even more !! All i can do is pray that he can find as much fat as possible !! Im hoping for 900 cc per cheek, but hey, we'll see ... Ill post pics and keep you guys updated !!!Updated on 20 Dec 2011:Well guys today is the big day !!!! My surgery is in a few hpurs ... Im sooo nervous ... but im praying about it ... Ill put up the before.and after photos later on tonight and then update weekly ... Wish me.luck !Updated on 21 Dec 2011:Well yesterday was my big day. Butt is looking a little bodacious from the back, but not so much from the sides .... I think it looks good though for 380 ccs in each cheek and 100 ccs in each hip ... But who knows for how long . He lipoed my arms, thighs, whole abdomen, and flanks . Overall, i like it .. im extremely swollen though .. takes me forever to get out of bed though .. i have no idea how to post pics on here. Can someone help me out??

So i am 1 week and 1 day post op .... I had my first massage and ultrasound today ... I feel a lot better, although still swollen .. i have to do about 4 more massages until the swelling goes down .. the people are telling me that i can sit whenever i want but me being paranoid, ive been standing and kneeling because you just never know ! ... And once again, i saw the doctor for like 10 seconds .... Well, my butt looks ok . Wish it were bigger but they said i have to wait for the fat cells to expand .. -_- .. dont know what to believe anymore lol

Hey ladies ! Well, its been exactly 6 weeks since i had my brazilian butt lift with Dr. Lefkovits ... I like the outcome ! However, i am looking into a second procedure to round it out more from the sideview .. most of my swelling in my lipoed areas went down, and i havent had much reabsorbption, thank God !! .... I will post pics later

So guys i am almost 3 full months post-operative .. about 15% of swelling left .... i dont like my results, i cant even sit here and lie to myself ... He didnt lipo deep enough and he didnt inject enough fat ... Im doing a second procedure June 2012 with Dr. Pakeman who was my first choice .... I should have went with my instincts .... When i went back to Dr. Pakeman's office, they even noticed that i still looked almost the same and that the job was done very sloppily ... Well, you live and you learned .... But i have faith in Dr. Pakeman ... im just hoping for the best ... Because i dont want to do this a third time !! Lol

Thank you so very much for your recommendation.
Upon meeting him. I can honestly say, he was very attentive, noticed my "Flaws", was pleasant, proffessional and courteous.
I do like his office as well. I need to make a decision soon, I keep you posted. Any additional infos, comments, thoughts will be welcome.
Thank you
Thank you so much for your feedbacks. Stay tune for my selection and pics.
Dr. Francis is marvelous. I'll be posting more as the days goes on, to give real up to date infos.
I bought one if those pillows, which I used.
It's best to take at least 7 days for maximum result. As far as massages, it's a daily routine.
