I just had my lipo and BBL on March 24th, 2011. I had fat removed from my flanks, upper abdomine, and back. I had enough fat in these areas to put in almost 1000cc's into each butt cheek. My first doctor said there was no way he wanted to put in the amount of cc's into my butt. I originally told him I wanted 700-800 cc's. He said he was uncomfortable with my request and basically didnt want to deal with me. He didnt even talk to me after that to try to explain anything he just told the office manager tell me this. The office manager then suggested another doctor. I showed her pictures of what I wanted and asked her if it was possible to have similar results. My new doctor was wonderful and had much better customer servie skills or bedside manner than the first doctor.

I am sore now but I was walking around since the day after surgery. I have great volume in my butt and despite the swelling at my waist and back and stomach, I do look smaller and more curvy.

Tomorrow will be a week after my surgery. I am feeling alot better. The only real complication was that I was constipated. This lasted almost a week. I started taking stool softeners and eatting prunes and increased my water intake. Finaly I am going ok but the funny thing is that my butt is so big and I cant sit on the toilet all the way yet that its hard to wipe. I had to get one of those bottles that you use to bath with after you have a baby. Ihavent started itching yet like everyone says starts to happen. I am still swollenon my butt and where I had lipo but I feel alot better. I am also off the pain meds. I really dont need them at all.

Today is offically one month (4 weeks) since my surgery. I feel great and my butt looks good. I noticed the most shrinking was in week two. I think thats when the sweeling really started going down. Right now my butt still looks big and still have that shelf look but id rounding out more toward the bottom. I still havent sat down. I am determined to make it to 6 weeks. I kept hearing different things so I just decided to not sit as long as possible or lay on my butt to make sure I get the best results. I am actually getting used to it so its not too bad. My plan has been to first get the BBL, recover, then get my full tummy tuck. So if the healing continues this good maybe by Semptember I will be able to do my tummy.
I am so far excited about the results and very happy.

In a few days I will be 6 weeks post op. I still havent sat down, I probably can now but I would really like to complete the 6 weeks. Just my personal goal. I know its probably silly but I am determined.
I noticed that my butt is still a good size and becoming more rounded. I have a doctor appointment soon and maybe then we can determine how much fatt got reabsorbed at this time. My butt looks big right now but trust me it was bigger :) Mostly swollen. I hope it stays the way it is right now. On Thursday the 5th will by 6 weeks gfor me and that night I am supposed to take a flight to Miami so we shall see how I do. Keep you guys posted!

Personally I think I have kept about 90%.My butt still looks great, very round. I am happy!! She also told me that my lipo areas are still healing. I will post new pictures soon.

I did alot of research on her and I liked what I read about her. Also once I met her I felt like I clicked with her well. She didnt make any promises or blow smoke she just said she will do the best she can based on what my expectations are and hopes that we will both be happy.

You look great!!! Did you already have volume in your hips and thighs??? Can you share before pics?
malianrob 11 Jan 2013
Yes, i didnt do anything to my hips and thighs. I didnt like the way i looked from the back. My butt was more wide but not out. So we added the fat to the butt and i really liked the results.

Hey y'all. I just consulted with her a few days ago and I went to the newport facility. My advice is to definitely go to the Santa Ana office because the surgeries will be occurring in that area from now on and of course it is CHEAPER. I was quoted 7,450 for abs and flanks and 11,650 for abs,flanks, inner thighs,arms and upper back. (Which is till very good by the way! *for this procedure in the US) I WAS able to get the price reduced to 6,000 and 10,000 but I was disappointed when I found out the original prices thinking I was going to pay around 4,500-5,000. Oh and prices I personally mentioned include *everything*!
juicyyy 9 Nov 2011
I got in contact with the Santa Ana office and over the past week and I was able to get the price down to 5,500 for the BBL. I added on another lipo area -- the upper back; total price was 6,100. =] Surgery (1/16/12) and Pre-Op dates are booked.

Wow, your BBL is perfect.... and I have seen a lot of them!!  I can't believe that you kept almost all the fat, I have seen with a lot of people quite a bit was lost.  Thanks so much for sharing all your detailed photos.  This is a truly the ideal looking brazilian butt lift.

malianrob, So happy for your results! Thanks again for putting down all your info (stats, cc's), it really helps.
Just wanted to ask if you got any "lymphatic drainage massages" during our recovery?

I've seen comments that go both ways (really support the massage or are really against the massage).

Do u have any before pictures?

i was wondering how was the pain was it torrable

hi, i have an appt with doc afifi on the 3rd. Do, you know more or less how much fat you lost on your butt? Did she put all your fat under your butt muscles? Did she say her prices are cheaper in santa ana and fountain valley? i ask because i will see her in newport.
malianrob 3 Aug 2011
I am sorry, I just got this today. I lost very little volume on my butt. I kept probably 90% or more.
And yes the prices are cheaper in Fountain Valley or Santa Ana. This is what was told to me. But i dont know how much cheaper. I really liked Dr Afifi she was great. Good luck on your consultation
