I just turned 25 and I have been wanting the BB: for about 3 yrs now and Im finally doing it! I have tried everything and nothing is going to give me the shape and size of ASS that Im wanting! So i have already scheduled my procedure but my Dr is more conservative than what I originally thought.

I want about 500 cc's per cheek (or more) but he's apprehensive to do it. I've paid my $2000 deposit already and want to make sure Im going to get exactly what i want. What is a good amount of cc's to get to insure a BIG round booty with enough projection?

This is supposed to be exciting but Im more...

It's getting closer to the date and I just put another $800 down!!! YAY! I'm just getting a little nervous about the surgery and the pain during. I'm getting Aqualipo on my upper and lower abdomen, flanks and lower back. I am not going under just local anesthetic. So i'm basically awake which is very scary! HELP!!!

Has anyone done the Aqualipo?? Any feedback?

I'm 5 days post open and pain is getting less and less. Still swollen and haven't had a bm since surgery date which is freaking me out. Plus I started my period so I know my stomach is bloated. I'm loving my results just need to get back to work so I hope I feel better soon!

Great review?

starr2012 24 May 2012
May 31, sooooo excited! Hope I can get 1000+ I dont want to have to go thru round 2, plus im having the tt aswell, when are u scheduled?
NewBody4J 14 May 2012
I'm only 5'4 ...I think 1000cc may be too much=\
starr2012 14 May 2012
May I sugest 1000cc per cheek is what i want! Ive noticed that 500cc is not much difference.
Teresa8296 14 May 2012
I believe bromelian, not sure on the spelling but this is what I have. Hope this helps. Happy surgery day, sooooo happy for you.
NewBody4J 21 Feb 2012
Oh no!! Did the Dr tell u why it didn't stay?
NewBody4J 20 Feb 2012
Why are u having to redo it?
Lovememore24 21 Feb 2012
I'm having it redone because after the swelling went done so did my results :'( I was injected with 600cc's and if it stayed the way it looked when it was swollen I would've been fine with that but one day it was nice n plump then I woke up n it was gone...LOL...
NewBody4J 20 Feb 2012
Thank you! Yes I know I have been researching for about a year and def want it to be larger than a typical butt lol I want 500-600 cc's per buttock and I just talked to my Dr and he assured me that I will be satisfied so until then all I can do is wait! 2 months to go!
Lovememore24 20 Feb 2012
That's good to hear. 2 months is gonna go FAAAAST!! I have mine in 1 month, but I've done it in august last yr and this is a retouch (different doctor tho), so I kinda know what to expect, except it doesn't make the pain less bearable.
Lovememore24 20 Feb 2012
Good luck on your search and surgery. 500cc is good to get a nice shape, just realize that there will be some fat that will be absorbed back into the body that won't take, and your physician should be aware of that, if not after a couple of months you will look no different than before you did.the surgery. Do some extensive research if you can, cuz the last thing you want to do is invest a lot of time and money to only be unsatisfied and wanting to do it again.
NewBody4J 20 Feb 2012
I know, at first he seemed to be in the same page but when I went to see him last week he was like " Im not going to give you a HUGE butt" lol I was like I dont want huge! Just proportioned. Ive already paid the $2K and am a little worried that I shouldve gone with my first choice Dr. Salama in Florida. ALL of his reviews are great!
starr2012 14 May 2012
Good luck on your procedure, I chose Dr.Salama, so far so good Im from Texas myself, but after all the pics and reviews I decided to dish out the extra bucks and go with him, I reckon it will be a drive but were looking at it as a mini vacation my family and I, they can hit the beach while i suffer in pain,,,,lol
Msnewbo0ty 20 Feb 2012
your doctor is supposed to make the client, you paid and you should get what you want, hopefully it turns out the way youd like. im in the dallas area and im trying to get BB done too, good luck
