Hello, I am 37 years old and I gave birth to one child and adopted two babies. I am 5'6 and 167 pounds. I had a tummy tuck and my implants changed and 500 cc's to my butt in April 2012. I had body liposuction and BBL in March 2013, with Dr. Campos. I received 1350 cc's in each cheek. I thought that would be my last surgery but he left behind a lot of back and arm fat. Also, I'm lacking in projection. After I brought the back fat, that he left behind, to his attention. He quoted me $5500, saying I needed a back lift. After I refused the back lift, he stopped responding to my emails. I've gotten 5 other quotes and no other doctor said that I needed a back lift, so I decided to find another doctor. I decided to go with Dr. Yily. She is very aggressive with her liposuction and that's what I need. I don't have much fat left, because the doctors like pure, untouched fat. The rest is no good. 2 other doctors told me it's like scar tissue. They said the most I could get is 900 cc's each cheek. So considering this is my last time (because of no more good fat), I want the best doctor. I want some projection. My butt still looks flat to me. I have killer curves now, but they were good before. Right now, I have a lot of arm and back fat so I can't wear certain, most shirts. Because my bra squeezes it, so it shows more. My current measurements are, 36DDD (not on purpose, my doctor ordered high profile instead of smooth round & I went up 2 cup sizes). 28-45. I never had liposuction on my stomach. My doctor said they don't do that when you get a tummy tuck, it weakens the sewn muscles. Dr. Campos didn't lipo that area either. He said it was flat enough. My wish measurements are 36DDD (stuck with the boobs, they are FDA approved and good for 30 years). 25-46. I'm hoping Dr. Yily gets all the fat that Dr. Campos left behind. I had to go into stalker mode to get her to respond. I woke up every morning and emailed her every hour, starting at 2am. Lol. I don't have any wish pictures, I just want a big ass, with no back fat! She can use her own vision. Just make it big! Lol. I will be looking for a surgery buddy. This is my third time having surgery alone. I'm a trooper! I plan on arriving a day before surgery. So March 17th.

I will probably go alone. I've also learned to bring my own pain meds & pack light.

Thanks for sharing with us!This is my first time going,and that's what I'm afraid of. I don't want to overpack or overbuy things that aren't really necessary. I will be having lipo on my abs,back,arms,and bbl. what do you suggest to bring that's really necessary? I will be going alone too.

I didn't need anything. I purchased an extra garment from Dr. Campos, along with the lipo foam. All I used was socks and underwear. I didn't use anything meaning clothes or night gowns. U don't want anything touching your body. I only had a carry on bag, so I wouldn't have to wait for my luggage. I packed a maxi dress & didn't wear it at all. I had 1 pair of yoga pants & didn't wear it. I had lots of t shirts and I didn't wear one until I was headed home. I wore a men's cotton sweat suit, with the draw string & zip up jacket. Plus my real jacket in case it got cold. I had my boppy pillow and a small blanket. I made sure I paid for everything before I got there and just had my receipts. I didn't carry a purse. I had on a old lady fanny pack. And my ID and debit card was around my neck in like a badge holder. I had on like clog shoes cause u have to remove them at the airport. But I packed some Tennis shoes, that I didn't wear. I came there for surgery, not to sight see. I didn't want to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Plus, when you have real pain pills, you sleep anyway. The chucks & pads, they provided for me at the doctors office & recovery house. This will be my first time bringing them. But I will fit them all in one carry on bag. Lol

You look great. Will be going in May for tummy tuck. Are you ok with the scar because that's the only thing I'm afraid of. Thanks

I actually hate my scar. I will be getting a scar revision. I had it done in Mexico & they actually sew with thread. Here in the states they sew in the inside & use surgical glue. I normally don't scar. I've had my boobs done 3 times & the first 2 times, my obgyn thought they were natural because she didn't see any scar.

Waking up during surgery.

User Avatar
Tannecole
I have had 5 surgeries so far in my lifetime and I have woken up during surgery, every single time. I've had 3 surgeries here in the states and 2 in Mexico. The way my Ex ( anesthesiologist ) explained it to me, is that you want to wake up. Lol, he said they give you just enough to keep you comfortable and to take away the pain. It's a lot easier to give you more medication if you wake up during surgery, then it is to reverse a overdose. Long as I don't feel any pain, I'm fine. Now the worst pain I have felt, is when the Dentist don't totally numb you and hits a nerve! Now that's pain! Lol.

Your situation is very similar to mines. I had surgery with campos May of 2013, TT,BBL with lipo to flanks and lower back, and BL with implant. I like my results but I'm not in love with them. Like you said I'm also left with fat on my stomach, now I do understand why they don't lipo the stomach when you get a TT, so I'm not really complaining to much about that. My thing is that he lipo'd my lower back aggressively that now the fat above it is like hanging over, if I would have known it was going to look like that I would have gotten my full back lipo'd. So now I'm ready for round2 and on the hunt for a different Doc. I recently got a quote from yily
January 4, 2014
I recently got a quote from yily for 4200 (lipo full ab,full back,armpit,flanks,waist,BBL and breast lift because campos work is already dropping). I recently came across ms.newbooty87 ( her lipo is amazing) and njprbeauty( her body is amazing as well. Her inner thigh gap is sickening!!), after seeing their results I'm sold on yily!! Oh yeah I don't have a profile either, I have ass if your looking from the back but my profile doesnt exist!!! What's up with that!!

Campos is now money hungry. I have so many spots he total didn't touch, but charged me for it. Yes I have a 27 inch waist, but I had a tummy tuck the year before. The fat hangs over my bra and arm put area, so I wife beater is out of the question. Also, my right thigh is bigger than my left. So if I gain a pound you see it! Gross!! That's why I'm so happy to go with Dr. Yily!! She is great with lipo!

I paid for full back lipo! I he didn't do it. I had a tummy tuck the year before, so there is no reason why he couldn't have lipoed my stomach, I paid for it! I paid him $5,800. I'm March of 2013. He was still charging around 4500. He didn't give me any kind of refund either.
