So I've been looking at this website for MONTHS now and I've made the decision to start looking for a Dr.
I see a majority of Dr Salama everywhere it seems.... Is there any great doctors closer to the DMV area?
I have no problem traveling though for better results !!!
Ready to start my journey towards getting a BBL :-)

I want to get this procedure done before it gets warm.

So I'm 5ft 130-135
Not sure of my measurements

I hope when I go to my consult he doesn't tell me I have to gain anymore weight :-(

I know Markmann is super expensive but I want this done right the 1st time
Around ....without touch ups !!!

I feel like I've read and learned so much but honestly have no clue what important questions to ask when I go in there.

Guess I need to get a list together :-)

If you guys have good suggestions ...let me know :-)

I'm ready to do this surgery ASAP and can't wait to be on the other side

So I had my consultation with Dr M ... He...

So I had my consultation with Dr M ... He definitely took his time with me and answered all the questions I had.
I didn't realize I wouldn't really be able to sit for 4 weeks. !
That seems like such a LONG time!!

Anyways my price was 17k whew !!
I have amazing credit so I know that wont be a problem I just wish I set money aside ahead f time specifically for this instead of having a bill this big LOL
Any ideas ? Did most of you guys pay some cash some financing?

I can't remember if I asked or not but what in addition would I be paying for out of pocket with Dr M?

Lots to think about ......

Ugh I don't know what to do .... I want to get...

Ugh I don't know what to do ....
I want to get this surgery done ASAP but paying 17k has got me at a standstill and just looking at other doctors.
Dr Salama scares me with the many cases of seroma ....
I want to do this RIGHT the 1st time !!! Everybody's diff so every case I'm sure varies Etc :-(

I kinda wanted to find a doctor that doesn't use drains .... Any help ladies????
Great review?

Hey girly sermons will happen regardless of DR chosen and goes away on its own so please don't let that be deciding factor

Wanted to ask - are you looking for a specific butt shape? Like a shelf? Heart?
PreBooty 10 Dec 2012

I'm heading south.... Salama.... Taking my husband with me.
PreBooty 16 Oct 2012
Yeah I'm tempted but I'm going to stick with Dr Markmann since he's local. I'm worried I may have issues and want somebody close by. I'm still healing up from my Augm so ill be ready before Salama even has an opening lol
SexyDiva430 16 Oct 2012
I'm booked for September but that's because I wanted that month.

My plan is to fly down and take the train back. I agree about the issues out of state, but I think that is where the insurance comes in handy. Wow I thought j was less than markmann?!
PreBooty 10 Sep 2012
i know i read a few reviews where J was the same price range ....
i need to stay close to friends and family just in case i need help after the surgery and i have a feeling i might have a breakdown. Reading all these reviews has me scared about the 1st few days ...

Coming from the DMV area I am choosing to go south for my surgery. Dr. Markmann is really good, but he is way toooooooo expensive for me. For half the price I personally rather go where they specialize in butts. Salama work looks really good also but he is booked through mid2013. It is your personal preference in what you want in your body and what the dr. Is capable of doing for you. I consulted dr. Hakki he quoted me $17k. Dr. Michaels quoted me 6500. Michaels doesn't have enough experience and he didn't have any pictures that would make me interested. The best thing going was his price. Hakki.......hmmm quoted me abt 5k more than what my friend paid. She had it done about 6 months ago. When I asked they said it must have been along time ago. He has a office in Georgetown and s. Maryland. Go figure where I got the high price from! Anyway try dr. Craig persons, not sure if he does more implants but work looks good. Try I think it is Rodriquez in Baltimore. John Hopkins in Baltimore has a student clinic in the hospital where the price is about half of regular price because they are students. Been trying to get consult with them but they keep delaying med student start. Dr. Ariel rad oversees that clinic. There are lots of choices up here. Just depends on what you want and are willing to pay. I am about 85% sure I am going to dr. J. For me it is not so much who but me getting the money. There are ppl that will do it at all prices.......does that mean it is good....who knows

i love dr salamas work however im concerned with going with a doctor out of state due to problems that may come up etc
i cant afford to be flying back and forth if theres any issues that come up or something that wasnt done right.
Ive looked and liked Dr J's work in ATL but the price is the same i read as Markmann
Ill look into the few you listed but definately not trying for a student clinic 0_o

hey girl,

welcome to the bbl sisterhood, gl on your journey keep us posted. most of the drs are in fl n ga. n yes you might have to travel for a good booty.
PreBooty 10 Sep 2012
thanks Nicki :)
i would have been able to do it sooner however im getting the breasts redone due to capsular contrature so that set me back $$$$
nervous about picking a doctor but absolutely obsessed with looking at this site now!!!
Miss.Incredible (RealFriend) 10 Sep 2012

Hey girl,

dont b nervous about picking a dr. Some girls change drs mad times before their mind is made up. As far as traveling, I am unsure of other drs but dr salama has an ins that covers you after the procedure, don't have much info on that but one girl had a situation, went to a dr n got it taken care of under salama ins plan. As far as getting an early date, you will be surprised how many girls need to reschedule for a later date. Look at the bootys on here n see what type u looking for... Time to go booty shopping...lol 
PreBooty 10 Sep 2012
ive been lookin.....!! so your going to dr salama? im sure your excited !!!
cant wait to see your results.
i just read another girls review on here and she seemed to have an awesome experience with markmann. Im honestly leaning towards staying somewhere local and i think hes the best thats pretty close by(thank goodness)
im determined to have this done in 2013 :)
Miss.Incredible (RealFriend) 10 Sep 2012

Honestly if I had a good booty doc locally, I would so b on it... 
PreBooty 10 Sep 2012
well i plan on getting a consult with markmann as soon as im done healing from my 2nd breast aug. this year :(
