My Brazilian Butt Lift experience with MY surgeon and his entire staff was nothing short of 100% PLEASANT, FUN, and at the end.... EXTREMELY REWARDING. I had a lot of problem areas and got several areas worked on.... but, from the first consultation, to the financing, to the staff updates, all the way up to the actual surgery, Dr. Markmann and his staff went out of their way to make, what can be a very stressful situation an enjoyable one.

PROS: (in chronological order)
*They get you in for your first consultation as soon as possible

*At your first consultation the staff was very friendly and attentive during my wait

*You meet with the actual plastic surgeon the first time as opposed to just a consultant on the staff

*During your consultation, he listens to exactly what you want to achieve.

*He doesn't try to "Upsell" you and attempt to talk you into getting any other procedures that you don't feel that you need.

*He's very knowledgable.

*He's a STRAIGHT SHOOTER. He gives the patient realistic expectations (which he actually exceeds by the time he's finished operating on you)

*Financing was a breeze. They were very patient and flexible. The staff made every effort to make sure the procedure fit into my budget without compromising my final product.

*He operates out of a hospital as opposed to a sketchy plastic surgeon's office. Think about it, a hospital wouldn't allow a doctor to continue to operate if he wasn't a grade A surgeon.

*The team at the hospital was also very friendly.

*They made me feel like my operation day was MY DAY.

*Anesthesia and the actual surgery for my procedures went something like: wait... I was just laughing with you guys, now 2 seconds later I'm waking up to "CONGRATULATIONS (Insert Name Here) your surgery went amazing and you look stunning!" [the amazing part is I had seven-eight hours worth of procedures and it seemingly went by in a blink of an eye]


*He literally personally calls me on the regular to check on my progress and has made a post-operation appointment with me once a week every week since the procedure to make sure everything is recovering smoothly.

CONS:
*Because there's no big egotistical billboard with his face on it in the DC area saying "PICK ME! IM THE BEST SURGEON IN THE AREA" There's a chance that you may not choose him, which would be a LOSS for you. ...thats the only con I can think of.

I can go on for days about how my doctor is the best and should be the ONLY choice. I had so many doctors I considered and consulted with and as soon as I met with him, I knew this was the right choice. He is truly gifted and Maryland's best kept secret.

I'm currently in my third week of recovery. I literally already have my dream physique. Tiny waist, a sensual arch in my back, a butt that is better thank Kim Kardashian's, and the hips of Jessica Rabbit. Haha. And This is with the recovery swelling. I actually met with him today and he said that my waist will do nothing but get tinier as the swelling goes down over the next few months. WHAT? You mean to tell me it gets better after this?! "WINNING"

As I progress in my post-operative stages, I will keep you guys posted!

BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES COMING SOON!



Updated on 4 Nov 2011:
I forgot to let you guys no that I'm open to answering any and all questions that my review didn't cover.



Updated on 6 Nov 2011:
My butt and hips are now more shapely than it was when I took those last pics. I still have post lipo swelling in my torso, waist, and inner thighs.... but its starting to go down. Its true, if the procedure is done right, your butt and hips will continue to get curvier AFTER the procedure!!! YAY!!!

The guys are flocking by the way!

*I updated the cost to include the hospital care, anesthesia and overnight fees*

Just had another post-op appt today. As of 11/13/11 it has been officially a month since my procedure. I've been sitting for a little over a week now (under the doctors orders) so he needed to see how everything is since my change in activity.

Dr. M was EXTREMELY happy to see everything healing and shaping to his expectations. He kept saying how great my new shape looked (as if he didn't create it himself. Such a humble guy. Lol)

I'm still wearing my compression garment at all times, except when I'm showering, and I've gone without it twice around early week 4 when i went out to a local club or bar for around 3-4 hours.

Got anymore questions? Hit me up!!!
Keep u guys posted!!

Hey RS fam. Im 7 weeks in. I feel great. And I have just as much fat retained as I did in week 1. Im here for tips, tricks, and answers to any questions. Keep u guys posted. Official surgeon released before and after shots coming soon!

Updated on 14 Dec 2011:
So as of the 13th. It has officially been 2 months!!! I went out to a celebrity filled event to celebrate and to my surprise, I was actually one of the main attractions.
The DJ and MCs kept giving me mic shootouts the entire night, complimenting my physique and how I was "Wearing that dress" (most common phrase I've heard since the surgery)
I even was photographed with a a few celebs (names remain private) and made it on TWO blog/tabloid sites (name remains private) with them the next day!!
Im not bragging but it feels SO GOOD to be such a head turner. You can't put a price on exuding 100% confidence. Thats worth all the money in the world to me.

BTW, because of how well done my procedure was... my booty continues to get rounder and perkier by the week. I feel really bad for those who say they've lost fat in their rear end during recovery... It seems like the opposite with me. Im feeling little to no pain at this point, incision sites are almost completely faded, and my rear is SUPER soft. This was a success. Go #TeamMarkmann! OK guys! Talk to you soon!!

This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

Helpful review?

My Doctor: Daniel P. Markmann, MD

My rating:

HE'S THE BEST AND YOU SHOULD STOP RESEARCHING AND JUST BOOK HIM TODAY!! The only reasons he doesn't get 5 stars all the way down is because he's a VERY BUSY and great doctor. He's in high demand, meaning sometimes you will have a little bit of a wait depending on what day and time your appointment is.

Congrats on your surgery! Can't wait to see your before & after pics.

VixenPhysique 4 Nov 2011
They're up!
Sharon at RealSelf (Community Manager) 17 Nov 2011

OMG, I'm late to the party but WOW you look amazing!

BBLNikki 4 Nov 2011
Wow.... you look amazing! Congrats.... yes, he is def one of the best! Do you know how many ccs?
VixenPhysique 4 Nov 2011
Thank you Nikki. Some how he got 830ccs of fat out of a former track & field muscle body. I'm not going to pretend like I remember the reasoning behind it but from my understanding, surgeons who perform liposuction out of hospital operation rooms are able to locate then extract more fat as opposed to those who operate out of personal plastic surgery offices. Thanks again!
VixenPhysique 4 Nov 2011
Correction. 830ccs per cheek. Sorry about that.
Fiory 4 Nov 2011
Wowww amazing results!!! He is the best Dr I've seen so far! What was you weight before surgery? Happy healing and enjoy your new body!
VixenPhysique 4 Nov 2011
Thank you. I weighed around 147 pounds at 5'7" and I haven't been on a scale since the surgery... my numerical weight never really bothered me. This was all driven by me wanting my weight "proportionally distributed"
newbootypls 4 Nov 2011
You look wonderful!I am 5'2 and 140 so I have alot more fat then you lol this gives me hope for the 600cc I want. Thanks for sharing
hvljvlglj;ljkl;hkg 4 Nov 2011

Great reults, I'm assuming you had no drains?

VixenPhysique 6 Nov 2011
Yes, I had 2 drains the exited around the inner-corners of my pubic area. They're removed at this point and there is really no sign of them being there. The drains are SO necessary.
brazilian me 4 Nov 2011
where was your fat extracted from?Also do you have a before shot that shows your whole butt from the back?
VixenPhysique 4 Nov 2011
I have NO personal pictures of my backside at that angle. Purposely avoided. lol.
My fat was extracted from my inner thighs, entire torso (abdomen, waist, flanks), and dorsal roll, which is like that roll of fat around your bra strap. And my official 4 angle (front, side, diagonal, and back) that the doctor took won't be available for another 2-3 months, I'll let you know as soon as they're released.
Shaylanay 5 Nov 2011
You look great!!! I was feeling insecure about the money I'm intending to spend for this...especially when girls are going to mexico and getting it done for 3000!! But looking at he much you spent and how you felt afterwards makes me feel better. Have you been in public? Are u keeping it a secret?
VixenPhysique 6 Nov 2011
People close to me know I had the procedure. But you really won't be in a situation where you will have to tell people outside your circle that you had cosmetic surgery. As far as public, Men have been acting ridiculous ever since Ive had it done. I took it for a "test run" the other day. I wore spandex tights and a baby tee over my friends house during a football gathering and left after about 10 minutes. He texted back like 30 minutes later and said my body was a topic of discussion for like 20 minutes amongst the guys. lol. Money well spent.
VixenPhysique 6 Nov 2011
Also I've always believed that you get what you pay for. I don't carry knock-off label purses, and I'm not going to get a knock-off bargain procedure done to my body. Any self-respecting person would either pay to get top-of-the-line or not do it at all....
Chapel Hill904 15 Nov 2011
what doctor did they use for $3000 in mexico? i am a mother of four boys and i dont have 18,000 to spend. but i am taking a medical professional with me.
Chapel Hill904 15 Nov 2011
can anybody tell me about this website?
http://www.a4mmd.com they say they do the brazilian butt lift for 3000!!!!! let me know kids and they are in florida!!!!!
Chapel Hill904 15 Nov 2011
im sorry georgia kids!!!
VixenPhysique 15 Nov 2011
Mother of 4 huh? Congratulations!!! I too want to be a mother of many beautiful children one day. Make sure you're very careful when taking this $3000 procedure into consideration.

Of course, Im sure you wouldn't choose taking crazy medical risks for the sake of saving $15,000 on a new butt over the priority of staying healthy for your 4 sons. Would you?

Good Luck!!
truluvsuks 16 Nov 2011
Chapel- I'm not sure about the site you listed but I've done a lot of research over 2 years of researching and followed a lot of different plastic surgeons and what I have realized its not always the location or the price u pay but its the experience, the reputation, and the one on ones with the surgeon's patients that I believe helped me make my decision on where to go. I do not have a crazy amount to spend on a butt job, I'm paying 4320.00 with Dr. Campos in Mexico he is one of the best I have found so far. I have paid a lot of money for a TT tuck in the States and was not happy at all, so the price isn't the deal maker or breaker for me. Just research your surgeons and you will find the best one for you. And its understandable to be a mother of 4 and not want to pay for surgery what you would pay for a car so dont let anyone make you feel bad for that, because luckily there are talented surgeons available that are also affordable :) Good luck chic!!
VixenPhysique 16 Nov 2011
truluvsucks- that was so sweet. Thanks for the motivational words of encouragement.
I've seen his (Dr. Campos) work, and I personally think I need a site with more than 3 example pictures in the photo gallery, and I'd prefer to see a doctor's photo gallery where pictures of all of their work weren't clearly asymmetrical. Im not being snooty or bitchy, I'm just giving you guys food for thought.

BUT at the end of the day, people are going to do what they want and if that person looked at his work and said THIS IS EXACTLY what I want MY body to look like... then go for it.

You see the example BBL pic of the tan girl with the perfect butt against the black background when you click the Brazilian Butt Lift link on this site?? Thats my doctor's work. I saw that, I found out who did it, and went to them because I felt that I deserved perfection.

I hope I didn't offend any one, but if being concerned is offensive, ....oh well.

BEST OF LUCK to the two of you.
truluvsuks 16 Nov 2011
Thanks MyVixen for the best of luck wishes :)
