Brazilian Butt Lift: Stories

Write a Review

Made my decision - TEAM YILY!

BACKGROUND Ive been considering this procedure...

BACKGROUND
Ive been considering this procedure for a while now, since 2012 after my first (& last) child. I am by no means skinny or "big". I have always had a big bubblebutt and small waist. but after my daughter, although my waist is still fairly small compared to the rest of me it isn't enough. my measurements before my daughter were 36B-26-37. my measurements now are 36D-36-45. I still have a decent shape, my hips are very shapely and my but is still pretty big but it isn't the same. it's phat but doesn't stick out how I want it to, and it's bigger but wider. it depresses me because I used to shut things down before, I still do but not in the same manner.

GOALS
My goal is to get a flat or almost flat stomach, I can work out and do the rest myself if it's close. I want the "rolls" from my back removed and that area that hangs when you put on your bra near your underarm. I want the fat from my tummy, back (upper and lower), and maybe even my arms, taken for this. I want to go all out with my butt lol. something that is natural looking but HUGE.

I want rounder hips , & I also want a bigger, "stick out-pokey" butt. my measurement goals are 36D-26-48/49. it depends I just want something that looks like natural and shaped like Yaris Sanchez, with hips like Bria Myles, Really fat and pokes out like Deelishis & black Chyna (without the fake look of blacc chyna), wide like rosee divine, & a waist and upper shape like Kyra Chaos. I want a SUPER shapely natural look, super round hips super big butt. Round Firm Pokey-Outty Wide but Fat butt lol. my thighs are fine as are they're thick and shapely.

PAYMENT/ FINANCIAL WORRIES :(
Now with that being said: I am a young mother of 1. I am a college freshman and I do work. I do not have all that much but I'm willing to save for this. this is what my heart desires and I know the BBL community knows what saying. I am not used to being more wide and thick and .. well a bubble butt and thick. I just want my POW back :(. My worries are the cost and results.

Are there payment plans out there? I can't get a loan without a cosigner because I am not 25, and Idk anyone who will cosign. so I think a monthly plan would be better for me. I am establishing credit now and so far so good.

how does paying work? I have a child and school. How were your paying experiences? What costs can I look forward to spending around for GREAT results? this is really a worry for me. I know I won't be able to do this without a payment plan :/. I can save the money needed upfront though. Suggestions????

DOCTORS
I've been doing major research and I have found some doctors I'm interested in down in FL. a couple in Jacksonville and in Miami. they are very pricey though :/. and I don't know if they offer payment plans. I am in DE so it's not that much of a hike but it's kind of a pain for the pockets. this is something I'm willing to sacrifice for though so no big deal.

So for the month of February I am going to FL to stay with my mom for about a month, help her out and just get a break. While I'm down there would be a good time to try to get in a consultation, only thing is where she is is 5 hours from Miami. but I can catch a bus or something for that too lol.

They are VERY pricey (at least $9,500) but I've heard that it's worth it, and in my research I learned that it's better to pay more for better results. Are there over the phone consultations available? how do consultations work? What goes on? DO YOU have any Doctor suggestions??? PLEASE HELP.

RESULTS/WORRIES
So of course a 36 waist and 26 waist, that's a 10 inch difference. I am afraid the results I want won't be achieved because of my goals. can that be done? I want my love handles to BE GONE, completely gone. I want the back fat around my bra line and around the bottom (flanks ect.) COMPLETELY gone. and all of that fat put in my butt and hips. I want a very slim waist.

i look at some pictures on here of BBL & the women still have back fat or a bulgy tummy and sometimes they usually still have the same shaped butt. like if they had a kind of.. long butt so to speak, they still have it just a plumper long butt. not round, but plumper and teardrop shaped. those are the results I'm afraid of. I don't want to be paying this for the nxt 2-3 yrs and not get results I want :(. I am SO scared for that. When you get a BBL can it make your cheeks rounder, fatter And wider? Can aggressive lipo be done for this procedure??

OKAY, another major worry is: I Did have a child. I do have saggy skin that is just super gross and all over the place, no. but I do have stretch marks and my "inner girdle" is obviously not as tight as it was. do I NEED a tummy tuck before aggressive lipo?? or can I just work it off and tighten that afterward?? THIS IS A MJOR WORRY!

Also, my arms are deff. not where I want them to be but that was something I was going to work on before and post surgery, so that it'd match my even smaller waist. SHOULD O GET LIPO IN THIS AREA OR WORK IT OFF AFTERWARD? DO DOCTORS CHARGE FOR TAKING FAT FROM ALOT OF AREAS FOR THE BBL? I don't wanna be nickel and dimed :(.

Scarring and recovery are also worries for me. What's the scaring like? Do they give topical creams ect. to help? do they work? How long is recovery on average? what was your experience like?? The pain afterward on a scale from 1-10? do they give meds? does Medicaid cover those meds or is all that added to the price of surgery? How much time should be taken off from work? When were you fully healed?? Did your scars completely go away??

HOW IM FEELING
I am so scared. I don't like pain but I am beyond motivated to get this. money or not loan or not I am going to do what I have to to get this done! I am so depressed. I was so proud of my body then. Now I don't go to the beach, curves and all. even when complimented I just. idk it's the worst. I have never been so depressed a out one thing before because I was so used to having it and it's like it was kind of tipped away from me in a way. the stretch marks I'm working on with trilastin but, these love handles, I can't deal. I'm young (19 gonna be 20) and I should be enjoying myself and my life. my self esteem is at an all time low . THIS IS SOMETHING I AM DOING BEFORE 2013 IS OUT I PROMISE YOU THAT. with a little support , help, and guidance ill get there!

HELP
I love this site because the patients seem so supportive. I would love that support. if you have suggests with doctors, tips, anything about payment plans or how I should go about asking doctors about it or anything PLEASE TELL ME!!! I am starting this journey, well now and going doctor hunting and searching for payment plans. BBL family, all I ask is for support :). thanks!

*NOTES*

- I plan on updating every week (even just feelings)
- I really advice guys so give give give !! :-*
- I plan to be really detailed with pics and stuff. :) lol thanks guys.

I Ment since 2010 after my first child not 2012 :) lol. but anyway I am looking at Dr. Yilly for my procedure. I am just waiting for her to email me back. I like the results that I've seen with her, and also heard from a few of her patients. Traveling abroad sounds nice as well, and it's WAY CHEAPER than here.

Okay so I am having some major issues right now. I...

Okay so I am having some major issues right now. I know for sure that I am traveling abroad to the DR for this, because I do NOT have the money the U.S surgeons are charging. and in my opinion their work and prices don't go together. I want a TOP NOTCH job if I'm paying 17,000 dollars. that is just way out of my budget.

So I've been looking at a lot of surgeons in the DR and their result pics, ect. I am caught between Dra Robles and Dra Yily. there's certain pros and cons I'm tryin to weigh out.

Doctor Robles:
Pros:
- Buy ticket , no money upfront
- All inclusive package
- Does GREAT work with tummy tucks from the pictures I've seen, and with breasts.
- Quicker to the point responses and gives ALOT of information
- very thorough
- my quote for a bbl + aggressive lipo + tummy tuck = $5200.00 :)
Cons:
- Saw a few REALLY bad reviews of her work (1 is too many and two is even worse)
- Haven't seen anything great with the BBL yet
- She told me I couldn't get fat from my arms with the bbl because that's "too much surgery".
*One of the reviews I saw was on here and it scared the crap out of me. you guys should check it out!*

Dr. Yily:
Pros:
- HER RESULTS LOOK GREAT lol.
- she seems really good at taking the fat and making everything nice and flat and seamless.
- I see way more positive things about her than negative, & the women that have gone to her say great things (minus her rude nurses)
- She says that I'm a great candidate because I have huge hips and my butt is already pretty large.
- all inclusive package as well.
Cons:
- VERY SLOW WITH RESPONSES! I haven't even gotten my quote yet from her, I've been waiting a week now.
- She wants a lot of money upfront. $500 to deal the date on top of me already having to buy a ticket. (I found a good deal with the ticket but regardless that's kid of a lot right now, that means I'd have to set it at an even later date.)
- I heard she was kind of rude :/ but Idk I haven't seen it myself just yet so that's a not so con.

So the point with this is , that bad review scared the shit (excuse my language) out of me with Robles. she told a girl that didnt need a tummy tuck that she did, and now there's a really bad scar on her :/. and she went for a bbl and her butts still flat.
Also, I haven't seen anything great from Robles as far as a bbl. She seems very polite and all but I don't want to take chances with my body. With Yily, idk I'm willing to make the sacrifice as far as the money goes it's just a lot up front and I'd have to wait. I want this soon. like June - August soon. I already have a 45 inch butt (same as most video models and nicki minaj). So there shouldn't be TOO much work that has to be done back there. just plumping and ect. and I have enough baby weight for it lol. I don't want them telling me I can't get a breast lift (I'm a D I don't want implants just a lift). I don't want them telling me they can't give me the results I want. if I'm paying that much I want to see some AWESOME results. cheap or not.

So can you guys help? I'm so stuck :/!

OKAY. So i did some more research (you can never...

OKAY. So i did some more research (you can never do enough research), and some more pic/review hunting as well. Dr. Walkiris Robles really does great work. Her tummy tucks look awesome. But 1 (i read 2) bad review is too many for me. Her price ($5200.00) is nice as well, but i am not willing to take chances here. This is my body, my temple, and i'd love for it to be treated that way. So ive decided to go with Yily. I went hunting on makemeheal and saw numerous before and afters of her patients and she is TRUTH! lol, especially ones that already have hips and a big butt, like me, the results come out so great. I am deff. going to Yily. I have YET to recieve my quote from her :/, but with that being said im willing to wait i guess. I dont want to go to anyone else. I am waiting on the quote to ask my daddykins for the money for the surgery lol. I plan on saving up about 600-1,000 dollars for after the surgery for drainage. I am SO excited! seeing those pictures of her patients make me even more excited :). Now i have been told that she can be bitchy, but it seems like shes faithfully with her patients at bedside. Im a bit bitchy myself so im sure i wont have issues taking her on, besides i'll probably be too drugged to care lol. Robles seems nice but i dont want to take my chances, I'd rather a little attitude than a horrible scar i cant get rid of.

Thanks everyone who helped and chimed in. this is very important to me and i need all the help, information and support i can get! I will update again when i get the quote and redo my measurements since ive gained a little weight :/. STAY TUNED :)
Great review?

My Doctor: Yilly de Los santos

Hwy thickchick1 im set on yily as well around what time to plan if you dont mind me asking I plan to go in oct...
thickchick1 30 Jan 2013
well I planned on going in June but that was because of dr. Robles, I would've had more leeway to save since I wouldn't have to make the deposit yet. but with yily I'm probably going to go September or October. if I can go sooner I will. it really depends on how much my daddyo gives me lol for it. I kind of want to find someone going around the same time as me so I have someone I'm familiar with there with me cause I'm going alone.
mh0118 30 Jan 2013
Yia I want to buddy up withsome too plus I heard if you buddy up you get a discount I think its 150 usd thats what I read on here so we gotta ask. Well im planning to go oct 21 and return oct 31, nov 1st latest I need my new butt before thanksgiving. .. lol
thickchick1 30 Jan 2013
discount? oh you just said my middle name. Lol can you pm me when you check on that? & do I. I want it before I go back to school which is December. I just will hate to have to wait :/ lol but it gives me more time to save for the drainage sessions.
mh0118 30 Jan 2013
Lol im ready to go would just have buy the things to take and a luggage with a lock that I seen in macys for a good price. I just I had someone to take care of my children for 2 weeks I wouldve been good so because of that I have to wait till october.
thickchick1 30 Jan 2013
dang I wish I had it like you lol, my child isn't an issue because I have someone to watch her for me. it's just the actual money, as far as having it all at once.
mh0118 30 Jan 2013
Lol yia if its not one thing is another I can have it done with who ever I want when ever but I love her work better than Dr.j and salama honestly her curves are real nice. And yia I really dont leave my children with any at all but my mom and she works so I ask hee to take vacation in oct since shes going to take some in spring brake so I will be waiting. .

CandyApple 28 Jan 2013
wow i love your post , i have the exact same concerns as u do. and i am going around the same time also,because i have to move this spring.and plus yily is super busy. i was only gonna go for lipo, but the girls on here have inspired me to get my butt done also, i am 43 inches and i was wondering how many inches are added after fat injections, and where the cars are. nobody ever gives enuff info on those topics, and not every doctor does it the same way.
thickchick1 30 Jan 2013
thanks for reading :). but it doesn't go by inches, they just inject far according the shape of your butt, and the shape you want to achieve (with realistic expectations). when I talk to yily (still waiting for her :/), I'm plan on asking which technique she uses and which one for me. I'm going to post everything afterward on here. but if you'd like to see different types of the techniques to get an idea what would be used for you by the shape of your butt, you can go to dr. salama's website and they have brief videos of him explaining them (4? I think lol) and this may help you understand a little better than I can. :)
CandyApple 30 Jan 2013
thanks
mh0118 25 Jan 2013
Hhey thickchick can pm the link to the 2 bad reviews from robles I cant seem to find them vthank you
thickchick1 25 Jan 2013
sure no problem I'll do it as soon as I find it.
Marie3634 28 Jan 2013
Thickchick1 thanks to u I went to research and I did see the bad review on Dra Robles. Now I think I want to go with dra Yily. I want to tell u also Dr Jimmerson is good on Atlanta and very popular and expensive I also found a lot of bad reviews on him. In my opinion all surgeries have risk matter who we choose we have to pray for God to direct that surgeon. Good luck on ur journey
thickchick1 30 Jan 2013
you're absolutely right ! , thanks you too :).
longhairdontcare 25 Jan 2013
