Brazilian Butt Lift: Stories

How long Iv been considering this procedure? How much time to you have for me to tell you? I have been researching this type of surgery since 2002, I first heard of it from a Doctor Anthony Griffin out of CA. On and off, On and off again this has been on my mind. I have endured the teasing, the pants not fitting, dresses, clothes etc. I have done the famous BBL tapes. Woooooo Ciiiiiiiiiiiiii lol. I carry myself as if I have the Biggest, Sexiest, Pow Yaw on earth lmbo, but the hell with it, I want it and Im going to get it...Anyone feel me? PS. In society If your a african american woman bootyless; ppl can be mean...Booty Power Her I Come. But I'm Gonna Need Some Girl Power and Some Recommendations...Thanks Ladies/gents I dont discriminate

So here I am still pondering about which Doctor to Use, So far Doctor Jimmerson or Dr. Salama....Both seem very good. Question bbl sisters? Can someone please tell me how they handled the ride home on the plane. and If the butt out or In is the best.. Im aiming to have my surgery done in March 2013... I am greatful for any helpfull info....

O yea and how many days do U really need to be near the doctors office to see him, Just to make sure everthing goes ok. Ps. So many bbl sisters here look so dang goooooooooood

So today was my first step in calling for a consultation with Dr. Andrew Jimerson's office. I quess good things comes to those who what because my consultation is not until October 25th which is fine because I'm aiming for Early December to have my surgery and still and the mist of research.

I just want everything to go so excellent, Im working out and loosing weight, which I have been doing over a year now and loving my results. I am prayed up about the BBL procedure sisters/sista lol...Im excited about this I have endured and I have finally made up my mind that I want this...Iv been researching this since 2002 and just been procrastinating about it...and its finally time for me to do something I really want but of course with gods protection.

I will post up my measurements soon and continue to read all the wonderful, funny and heartfelt posts here.

ONe question?...when I get a physical what type of physical to I ask my doctor for....cosmetic surgery or what? Thanks BBL fam... Love yall

Ok BBL Fam...So I was so surprised when I got denied from Care Credit and I got good credit...dang near a 700 score...whats up with that...lol...Anyway I am saving plus I have heard other methods on here for get approved for surgery but either way, Im still going to continue to save... SO ANY SUGGESTION WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...

PS.Im starting to think they have to deny a certain amount Ijs...Will continue saving.:))

Just currently saving, but I wish Dr. J and Dr. S would stop going up on the prices, the more costly the more likely ppl with get denied credit for this procedure. I have never really been denied credit...O well, continuing my journey and hopfully I will be a BBL sister one day.... Still happy for everone here that has or is getting there's...much love...xoxo

Ok bbl sisters... so I went to lipo express to see what garment would be best. and I dont understand the language... I was trying to see which garment w/ buns out would be the best...so Im quessing once u call they do speak english..lol and would be more helpful.

I have been looking at so many updated pic and reading so many updated reviews, and I cant stop thinking about it man...for so many years I have wanted to look nicely from the back...I have done every exercise you can think of...I even order the popular bbl DVD...truth be told...it does work some...but it doesn't give you the real result you really really want.

O yea has anyone tried Anthony Griffin the bbl surgeon in CA? PS.Saving Saving Saving

Ok BBL Sisters, still I constantly come here for support and motivation which I receive just by reading so many stories. Ok so, first I wanna say....we really do have to be realistic, humble, and greatful just to even get the oppertunity and to make it thru surgery first (I haven't) had mine yet...But....You all look so gooddddddddd and I do mean goodddddddddd. I was reading a bbl sister post where she said the "mind is a tricky thing" and she is so right. So many big or full and much improved booties here, but the mind with have you thinking "OMG is not like my wish pic" dam a wish pic....Lord let me make it thru surgery, my flight, no infections, and with beautiful results...I still want to stay humble just with a bigger booty....Nothing wrong with that at all....

I can tell u bbl sisters some of the fights and defenses I have had to put up with but you wouldnt have time to read it all...But I love myself that much and said when Im ready for the surgery I will get it and on my term..."no one elses"....

U guy really dont even understand how this forum has help me to get up the nerve and strength to say "oK" Im ready to do this for me...

I ponder back and forth about it because I have so much living to do, but ask god to cover me....I never want to be selfish about this..

I have tow beautiful/wonderful girls 21 and soon to be 16 on October 1 2012... I have never left them alone for more than 3 days...So god knows I'm praying to return to them ok when I have my surgery... I love them so much...and Im the sole supporter of my girls...I Seem to be the only stable supporter in their life....So please believe...this will be an emotional trip for me....lol yes I do still treat them like babies...my 21 year old who is off to college...I have to talk to her everyday at least 1 or 2 times a day, or at least texting:)....But I always pray over my family and for others I dont even know....

In me saying that...I'll say this....Lets keep god first, get our surgeries, and be realistic......PS....I will be balling many tiers when I can look nice from the back.....Oh The JOY The JOY....:).....Lov yal much

O and I will be posting some Pre surgery pic.

Just wanted to say while we research and pray over ourselves and other that are having and waiting for bbl surgery

Please lets not forget the many people that have lost there lives this day 11 years ago and for the families that endure everyday due to the lost of there love one and friends.

Love Yall my bbl sisters...No matter the race. xoxox

Ok I want to just say Congratulations to all the BBL Sisters that has had their sx and is in the healing process.

yAAAAAAAAA to the up and coming bbl sister

OK so I think Im going to go with Dr J. Hopefully they will get with me soon on my consultation date. I called a different number about a week or so ago and they gave me a 10/25 consultation date. Now since I have registered with his website, I had to fill out form for consultation or call a different number...email was from Azia....

THIS WILL DEFF B A DIFF SIDE OF ME

From the words of my girl Keyshia Cole f/Nicki Minaj......I Aint Thru.....Yeaaaaaa.....Much love ladies.

Spoke to Aziza on yesterday….and I must say…We really did have a wonderful conversation. I had to let her know how excited I am, and to finally talk to someone that really understands why I am doing this which is pretty simple “A Better Me”?. I could go on and on about how my kids have seen people tease me for not having a full booty, or how I have endure the being attractive from the front but non attractive from the back, but I had to get over all that but at the same time make sure my kidos are ok because parents can endure easier than kids. “Dont mess with my babies” lol. But anyway I had to get pass all that “tease” and first learn to love self. Once I learned to love self then and only then was I able to decide to have surgery.

I told her about me doing every exercise and DVD known to mankind in order to lift my boot…NOT WORKING and I have been working at it since 2002….I know at long time. So I have reach my cross road. I told her that in everything I do I keep god first. I don’t want to be Vain or selfish cause I do have children who need me.

Anyway….We laughed and talked so that I could have kept her on the phone Allllllllllllllllllllllll Day.

Like I said, I don’t want to feel alone in this. Don’t have to many friends that will be able to take off work to help take care of me during those critical hours and days.

Please believe bbl ladies that I have prayed and still in prayer over this…. Of Course I want to wake up from my surgery and All things from healing to results fabulous.

So I’m deciding on if I want hips or not….Don’t really think I need them so I will see.

Never been able to wear any dresses without my butt lifter which is underwear with the butt cut out and it realllyyyyyyyyyy does lift but u can only wear it with certain dresses and no jeans at all. “please don’t” But It reallyyyyyyyyyyy does lift and gets so uncomfortable.

OK so I U sister know anyone that would like to make some extra M.O.N.E.Y to sincerely help me on those most critical days please inbox me….

I will be posting my before pic up soon so don’t give up on my sisters.

Not much to tell just will have my consultation today......I hope some of u dont mind me copying some of your wish pic. Will post again after consultation.

just a few wish pics added.....will add more plus mine soon as I can.

more wish pics

First dont get alarmed I gave Dr. J 4 stars only cause I havent had my Surgery wet:).......well had my consultation on yesterday.....It was kind of fast but I did get a chance to ask all the questions like 1. How long is the surgery insured for. 2. Just incase of surgery complications, what protocol it set. 3. Does he have hospital rights 4. Him being board certified. 5. If your completely asleep. 6. How close is the hospital 7. How common is seroma, and what would he do to treat it. and what should I do if this starts to happen once I return home, because Im an out of town patient. 8. What all does the surgery include.

Dr. J assured me that I will receive the best care, and his services is not some "fly by, Im done, get to steppen type service" Is phone manners is excellent.

I also talk to chelly or shelly which ever, and she was very brief just to inform me of some of the things to expect, financing, etc.

I spoke with Aziza who is so patient with me and all my bla bla bla bla bla lol......she explains things more slowly. I love her...we talk like we been knowing each other forever. I also received some additional info by email.

Dr. J did suggest tommy tuck and hips. I can deal with a little skin and my hips are fine once I get there i will decided on hips.

My front is not that bad, not to sound vain but I always attract from the front "Thank You Lord and Parents" Lol but my back side sense having kids look like flat mud pies lmaoooooooooo. but all in all...he's closer to home just incase I do have to return for complications but I rebuke that in the name of jesus.

As always I want to thank all the sisters that have been talking about there journey....nice enough to give important information "this is our life" and have been so positive. Also to the sisters that even after their sx they come back and show pics, I mean real life pics and talk about your experience after the fact I love you for that.

I finally got my dear friend to travel with me for the surgery, knowing she always did anything for me and me for her but I was just nervous about telling about the sx. but I always told ppl...... one day Im going to get me some "Buffy Booty":)

O yea, I was happy with the answers he gave me regarding my questions. and did any of you ladies get hips?

soon as I hide some of my private areas on my pre sx pic I will post them. Thanks ladies

DR JIMERSON ON THE TI AND TINY SHOW THE FAMILY HUSTLE......I LOVE THIS SHOW, LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. I HAVE ALWAY FELT LIKE TINY AS HAD SOME TYPE OF WORK DONE ON HER BOOTY.....BUT IT LOOKS SO GOOD.....I KNOW TI CANT STOP RUBBING ON IT LOL....HELL IF I HAD IT I WOULDNT STOP RUBBING ON IT. LOL.........

LORD THE DAY WILL COME WHEN I FINALLY GET TO WEAR A NICE FITTING DRESS WITHOUT A BUTT LIFTER........AND FELL feminine FROM THE BACK

Reposting to answer questions........First dont get alarmed I gave Dr. J 4 stars only cause I havent had my Surgery wet:).......well had my consultation on yesterday.....It was kind of fast but I did get a chance to ask all the questions like 1. How long is the surgery insured for. 2. Just incase of surgery complications, what protocol it set. 3. Does he have hospital rights 4. Him being board certified. 5. If your completely asleep. 6. How close is the hospital 7. How common is seroma, and what would he do to treat it. and what should I do if this starts to happen once I return home, because Im an out of town patient. 8. What all does the surgery include.

1.The sx is insured for 30 days. 2. There is a hospital close by for serious emergency. 3. He does have hospital right. 4.He is board certified. 5.yes you are completely sleep. 6. # 2 pretty much answers that.

7. seroma rarely happens, but if it does it mostly starts within the timeframe your there and he will treat it.. If your an out of town patient and it starts after you have left....He will talk to your doctor to get him to treat it....if not you will have to come back to see him....It is covered if this problem happens withing 30 days.

8.The price covers. procedure itself, one garment, office visits cause you will go back for drain remove etc, Local anesthetic ....

I cant remember if the first round of meds are included or not. I will try to ask Aziza....unless someone else here know.

Ok I do have a question.....What is the best cream for under eye darkness and lines... and after surgery creams or ointments for scars.... I will have to have breast sx on 11/13....I have a lump thats been bothering me and getting it remove....The doc said its not cancerous and as with any ordeal that comes across...I truly have to pray and talk to the lord....May he protect me going in and out of surgery, with no complications, and perfect healing...Father you said ask.....Im asking in the humbles way I know how.....

Say a prayer for me ladies.....Lov yall....And thank U for sharing your stories and pic... it really means a lot.. xoxox

I will continue to read a many journeys and give support as possible, it really help me

Thanks you all for your prayers it means sooooooo much to me....all dont even understand...well my surgery went well...All I could think about was jesus....I mean really kept my mind on him...Our life is toltally in his hands and I had to make sure my health is ok first....Im currently waiting on my results to come back....No cancer lord..I rebuke cancer in the name of jesus....I AM SO HUMBLELY HAPPY that god saw fit and allowed my to come back and see my family and love one....and Im praying that same prayer for my bbL surgery. No complications, and beautiful healing results. THANK YOU LORD......."Always praying"

Well I went back for my breast Bio followup today.....And I would like to first thank the lord for keeping me safe and allowing me to see another day......In addition, Thank you LORD....Test came back Negative....No Cancer, No Cancer, No Cancer,No Cancer, No Cancer, No Cancer,No Cancer, No Cancer, No Cancer,No Cancer, No Cancer, No Cancer,No Cancer, No Cancer, No Cancer....I just cant say it and thank him enough.....

I just wanted to say....I really wouldnt be able to even think about having this sx, if I wasn't praid up for real. I would just like to finally feel like a lady "cause a lady with class" I am with or without but that nice booty speaks for itself hahahahahah. Love yall

OK SO OVER THE WEEKEND.....I had a talk about my surgery with my girl who are 16 and 21....and they seem to be ok with it. They will be coming along with me along with my sister. Will my girls coming along makes me fill so much better......this is really huge for me.....I will be making my deposit here very shortly, I just had to make sure my breast and health was good. PRAISE GOD.....

Lets stay praid up for excellent surgeries and recoveries.....xoxoxox

Lets not do the expected

For Starters, I would like to say, I have respect for everyone here, no matter male or female/ man or woman.... This is a tough journey for all of us, with so many skeptical feelings about this sx that we have decided to choose. It's very understandable to have opinions and disagreements but lets please be mindful of what we say to each other.

Our feelings are on a serious rollacoaster ride....should we or should we not, will we live threw it or not....how are my result, is it big enough etc......

The most important thing about this process is.....to have our health and still be alive after the fact with not life threating complications....... Some of us is going to have better looking results than others....It's just a fact, but please believe I want each of us to come out OK lord.

Some of us is not getting what we expected or what we paid for, But the best thing is to reflect on how we feel without killing each other verbally.

It's so easy for we as women to attack each other faster than a rain drop can hit the sidewalk. "Lets Not Do What Is Expected".....

I applaud Everyone here for sharing their story....The Good, Bad, and Ugly.

If your doctor does not do what you expect.....then let it be known because the one thing the Dr's should not do is charge for something that is not possible.....

I didnt get the bra rolls because these dr's can only go up so far because of the lungs....the lungs can callapse if lipo goes up to far, I didnt get hips cause I can't afford it...RealTalk...

Honesty is the best patient/Dr. relationship, which results in patient referral's....

We are taking a chance on how long it will last along with our life.... Every life here matters and counts but society expects for us as women to fall out and have confrontation with every life issue.

I cant tell anyone what to do..... But only ask.....

For every sista/sister before me and that will come after me this is our life our journey....This is all we have here, is each other and the love and protection of god to see us threw.....

Stay Praid Up Ladies. xoxoxox

Just wondering how everyone is doing. I was trying to save some MONEY would it be cheaper to stay stay in a condo like resort and are there any close to Dr. J's office... Hope everyone is healing well.... Would someone be willing to share a large suite with me to save but still be comfy and clean if so please Nbox me. My date will be between march and june 2013...Thanks ladies

I do understand that this BBL surgery is become more prevalent/high in demand but….What I don’t understand is why is these doctors steady going up. Yes many of us want this surgery but many of us are single parents “like me” who is the sole provider and who is trying to save every dime, plus not neglect my house hold and still have my surgery. Just think, on an average 10,000 @ 3 patients a day maybe even 4, 4 times a week. That’s roughly 480,000 a month, a year U do the math, not including other cosmetic procedures done. Pretty soon only the rich will be able to afford this and that’s just not fair because some of us do work hard 5-7 days a week and deserve a little improvement for ourselves. The more I research the more these Doc’s keep going up. Some of us would rather pay cash than get it finance....... We are headed into 2013 and its making alot of us frantic because of the prices going up in 2013.....NOT A GOOD FEELING AT ALL.....My Opinion

That dirty “supply and demand game”….I always hated it. Cause the little people end up screwed every time.

Ok As I sure U all know we dont have JACK her in goodold ARKANSAS....ANYWAY:(.....Anyone From Arkansas know where I can get Medical Clearance Done. Please help ladies. I cant do this without U ladies help. Thanks

Hope everyone has a wonderful and bless new year....Lets stay praid up. not major to report just getting out with family to enjoy the day. xoxox

Today I was able to make my deposit..Yaaaaaaaaaa.....Spoke with Monica and she was very polite...believe it or not excellent customer service is so appreciated cause that is part of my job....ppl love it when theres a good mood person on the other end. Anyway I am scheduled for the week of June 23-2013...If there is anyone that would like to share the expenses on a hotel suite or large room please let me know "and yes" U must be positive because this sx and healing is going to need that. So inbox me if U are serious "To Help each other stay motivated and heal excellent.

As always I will continue to stay in prayer for me and for the rest of us. Love U All

OK I paid my deposit and thought I would be feeling like a kid in a candy store.....sometimes I do sometimes I dont....although I am staying praid up for myself and all of us...I still feel wishy washy at times....Been having little pep talks with myself. I try to remind myself that Im not taking anything away that god has blessed me with just rearranging it.

I'v been told my breast are to big....but the way I see it....ppl are having sx to get these TigOBittys lol and after having a successful biopsy with no cancer I love my breast even more...Holding on for the day I will finally get to feel like a beautiful woman in a dress without butt pads, panties lifter with the butt cut out and cutting off my circulation , rolling down girdles so on and so on.....
but I still second guess my decision....JUst trying to stay positive.

Was so uneasy about posting my pre-op pics. But here goes...Thats why they call it real self...I currently at 175lbs, down from 215lbs and aiming for 165 before sx....Im very short waisted so all my weight gains in my mid-section not to by booty...Anyway...Just a few pics for the journey.

Adding pic's computer locked up ughhhhhhh

Nothing new just patiently waiting for my surgery date....with all the years of wanting, and researching god wanted to make sure that we get the proper treatment/surgery Dr. So many women have ended up making the wrong choice in getting a bigger booty....Im not saying there are not risk BUT....The chances and results are better by first staying praid up with god and asking him to lead you in the journey....

Anyway. just still working out and still wishing everyone a wonder, safe, and excellent bbl and all other sx procedure... Yes nerves and excited....

Good Things really do come to those who wait "to get it done properly" and ask god for it... #Humble

I have 4 months to go as of today........It seems like a long time but then again...It gives be time to reflect and save etc....Nothing major to report....I did receive some funding/financing for my sx....so the rest will be outta pocket.... Yes like everyone else here Im praying for all positives.....No complications, excellent results, and mini pain level.......Till next Time

Ok.....I have butterflies in my stomach......I know that U have to take spot/s after the surgery to keep your blood from clogging but.....Do They Hurt? and has any of U ladies drove back home instead of flying...I mean not driving yourself but taking the road back home by car?.....My trip is 8 hours and I have never flown before.......If you ladies could Inbox me of a excellent care giver at a good price and massage info/help as well....I would really appreciate it......cause I really think I will need a professional caregiver to give me my spots.........Please help me ladies......Thanks U guys. xoxo

Hey ladies, I have not posted for a while...Just bein saving, praying and reading U ladies post....Im so excited......Praying my nerves dont get the best of me....Will have my labs done May 20 which is within 30 days of my surgery....

Ok...after faxing my Dr. the Medical Clearance sheet...and letting him know that he's been my Dr. forever and should want to know what's going on with me....His nurse called be back and the appt. is set. #Please believe I have a backup plan....But seriously, I started to stress and remembered I have been praying about this whole process and everything started to come thru....Thank you lord I give u all the credit....Thank you PrettyPhysique for making a very valid point-God bless U in your up coming sx in a few weeks....PS.I must have the lords blessings and favor through this and in my life period....xoxo
