I am 5'2 and 140lbs I am hispanic and do not have a butt like most hispanic girls I was so excited to hear about this procedure hopefully I can get the booty I've always dreamed of. If anybody has any advice for me I am all ears. My ps said he is gonna try and get as much fat out of me as possible but for sure 400cc I was hoping for more like 600cc. I've read on here girls smaller then me have gotten 600-800cc so I really hope I can get that much thank you to everyone for all your post it has really help me decide this is what i want to do

Im starting to get discourged. My ps and many others have told me 300-400cc per cheeck is what Im looking at. My ps said he will try for as much as possible but what if all he can get is 400cc is that even worth it? Im afraid Im going to be very disappointed. I even thought about going to Compos but even he said maybe 500 and I dont think the possible extra 100cc is worth the travel. I dont get it I know I have fat and I know alot of ladies on here are smaller then me and are getting 600-800cc at least. I guess I will see come sugery day :-( Hopefully I will get more then the predicted 400cc per cheeck

Ive come along way since I started this process in October. I've gone back n forth so many times on what Dr to go with because I did not what to travel but after hearing so many sucess stories and seeing amazing results and with the help of some amazing ladies (BaddBrown) I've gotten over my fear to travel and Im going with Dr Compos and now I am all set! I've paid my deposit to Dr Compos. Ive purchased my plane ticket and I just made my deposit to Club Med today now all I need is for June to hurry up and get here

Ok so it just occured to me I have 3 1/2 months before it is my time to shine. This has been a long process and I still have time to go. Ive paid beauty care recovery house. I have my plane ticket. Im going to get my pass port next week and will be paying my remaing balance to Dr Compos come April. Total I will be spending about 5,500.00 for everything (procedure, recovery house, labs etc.) not bad but the one thing I gained out of this entire process that can not be bought is the meeting of some amazing ladies I have made some true friends throughout this process and I can not wait to be at the recovery house with these ladies. We are gonna kick it pain and all!

Ok so I have exactly 53 days left until I am on my way to TJ for Dr Campos to work his magic on me. I have everything I need thanks to Ready4ABBL love ya girl. I ordered my epifoam and that's the last thing on my list. Ive made my apt with my Pcp for labs and to discuss aftercare and that's it everything is done. I must say I never thought this experience would put me in contact with amazing ladies so that has been a wonderful extra to this entire process. I'm already to go next time I update I will be on my way to TJ. Thanks to all you ladies who have given me advice and answered my many questions. Ready4ABBL thank you for listening to me the worry wort all the time and for being such a good friend

Ok I was not going to update until it was my time to leave but i cant help but to. I dont want to discuss this with my hubby because I DO NOT want to worry him. I have exactly 30 days and I thought I would be super excited but as my time draws near im getting more and more nervous. All I can think about is every negative thing that can possible happen. I have 3 babies I have to come home to and all I ask myself lately is "IS THIS REALLY WORTH IT?" Im so scared of all the bad things that can happen from getting burned to needing a blood transfusion and all sorts of other things including not getting the results I want. I sure hope this is just a normal part of the process because I can't even get excited anymore and its starting to get depressing :-(. Im adding my current pictures at 150lbs Im not gaining anymore weight so these will be my official befores

I head out to TJ in about an hour. Im actually pretty calm I guess I got all my freaking out done yesterday. I had an all out melt down I cried to my hubby all night because I hate the fact that Im leaving my children for 8 long days. I feel like such a bad mother but cant turn back now. From here on out I am going to try and stay as positive as possible. I know God is with me and he will get me through whatever comes my way. My consult with Dr Campos is today and surgery first thing in the morning. Im getting lipo and BBL and a tt if he thinks I need one. Well ladies next time I up date I will have my brand new body!!!!!!!

Thank you ladies for the prayers I had surgery yesterday I ended up needing an extended tt was not happy about it but as of now I have to say campos did his thing my waist is really tiny and I know it will get smaller because being one day post op I'm still very swollen I believe I got 1064cc to each cheeck but not for sure because I was still out of it when the nuse told me and I lost the post it note she wrote it on but I will ask campos when I see him. As for Beauty care I was told there was a pipe burst so they put a friend and myself in a hotel I will post more about this once I get home I don't wanna jump the gun and say its been bad a good yet. Now my question to the ladies who have had a tt and bbl when the heck do you feel some what normal and in not so bad I feel like I dying here I will post pics when I get home because I'm unable to post from my iPad

I just wanted to thank everyone for the prayers and well wishes this recovery is hard especially being in a hotel but I have to say beauty care us doing a very good job caring for us giving the circumstances. I really feel they have our best interest at heart even letting us use there personal phones when the hotels Internet is down. I will say if you can come to mex with someone pls do I came with a friend and thank god I did I can't imagine being down here by myself with all that has gone down with beauty care closing down even when you plan well shit happens that you can't control. I will post more when I get home and I promise to post pics soon but I will say as I recover more I'm happier and happier with my results i feel I got the hour glass figure I was wanting and I finally have a butt woo hoo!

Im sorry for not answering questions but on July.3rd I started running a high fever and have been admitted to the hospital im receiving iv antibiotics every.8hrs I dont know what went wrong I am a nurse I made sure I used gloves clened my incision properly and here I sit in the hospital this was so not worth.the risk my husband loved me flat ass and all my children are healthy I had a beautiful life and I feel so selfish and shallow for making my family go.through this because of my bad decision my family has to suffer and I don't even one think about the financial once these Dr bills start coming in I cant believe I made such a selfish choice

Im finally home from the hospital! I wanna thank all the ladies that took time out to send me well wishes and your prayers it was really appreciated. I haven't even attempted to look at my butt I'm thinking itd probably all gone since being in the hospital I had no choice but to sit on it but at this point all I care about is being healthy I still have to take a 14 day dose of antibiotics but its oral meds and I get to be home with my family. Had this not have happened I would be typing a different review saying it was 100% worth it but being on the other end I have to say it was not worth it nothing it worth your health no matter how good your results are

Im doing alot better Im almost 3 weeks post op and although Ive been sitting on my butt since day 11 due to my hospital stay Im still happy with what butt I have left with. I dont know maybe its because I really dont care about my results as long as I have my health. But heres my almost 3week post op pics Im still swollen and was without a garmet the 6 days I was in the hospital

Im one month post op and Im happy with my results I will say again they were not worth he health problems but I Campos did do his thing even after sitting on my butt Im still very happy with whats left. I pray that I stay healthy so that I can start enjoying my results I will take some better pictures within the next couple of weeks. Compared to what I looked like before my body looks so much better I have curves and I actually have a butt Its not a huge butt but its way better then the flat square butt I had before

Im all most 4 months post op and I have to say I love my results. Was it worth gettn MRSA no but who ever goes in knowing they will get an infection with that being said Yes I would do it again Im so much more happier I love my new body. Booty greed is setting in and Ive been thinking about a rd 2 just not 100% sure because of course I do not want to get another infection. Would I reccomend this to others YES. I did not realize how flat I was before this and Im so glad I did this even though my recovery was not 100% complication free

Ok so Ive been going back n forth on wether or not to do a rd 2 and I have decided Im going with Dr Salama. I put my deposit down and Im scheduled for July 15, 2013 I feel like a newbie all over again just cause I dont know How Dr Salama runs things so if any of you Salama vets have advice Im all ears. Ive decide on rd 2 just cuz I want a lil more prejection and from the back view my butt sometimes looks flat. I need the back to be fuller. I dont wanna go through all the stuff that comes with going out of the country any Salama's booty's always look good so thats why I chose him to finish me up

your results are amazing!! Why did you decide to get round 2? ... Also, how are you financing your surgery, i did the consultation, but im trying to decide to to come up with the money, if financing is an option
newbootypls 11 Apr 2013
Well booty greed has set in I need more booty lol plus I did not have my tummy lipoed with rd1 bc of the tt I'm financing maybe 1,800.00 of the sx but the rest I'm paying cash
girl2 5 Apr 2013
Hey!!! Your getting a round 2 in July? I'm also going to my tummytuck and mini bbl with Salama in July bu to the 3rd! Good luck to u!
newbootypls 5 Apr 2013
Thanks girl how long will you be there for you have to keep me posted I will be there the 14th
girl2 5 Apr 2013
I will be there until the 17th! I wanted to allow myself time to get the drains out and go to the follow up appointments. Depending where you stay maybe I can come visit you. I will have a condo on the beach out there, so Im hoping to enjoy a little time and not be bent over the entire time! Im going to update my blog a little before the surgery because I wanted to put before and afters at the same time. Your looking good though girlie, how is you butt? You want it a lot bigger?
girl2 5 Apr 2013
Also, how was it for you doing the tt and bbl?
newbootypls 5 Apr 2013
I don't want it crazy big but I do want it bigger lol I'm staying at the Hyatt house that will be cool if you can come by The tt wasn't to bad it's that's damn lipo that's the worse also the being hunched over is no fun but you don't wanna tear anything so try standing up strait anytime soon
girl2 5 Apr 2013
Right, good advice. I will stay hunced over for a while because I want this tummytuck to be on point. How soon did you stand straight up? That is the worst part, but its worth it. I know that lipo is no damn joke, a pain that i will never forget. I should not be that bad off, but I thnk he does abs, waist and lower back. Im not getting arms, thighs or anything else. Altough, I did want my arms. oh, well
newbootypls 5 Apr 2013
Some ppl say 3wks it took me about 4 and that was with garment on without garment it took almost 6 but I had an ETT and full muscle repair and I also had that infection 11days post op so it took me longer to heal
girl2 5 Apr 2013
Im praying to be infection free, that is common, did they tell you how you got the infection?
leea2000 7 Nov 2012

Do you know what he is going to lipo?? I was just wondering I will be going to Cardenas and she is going to lipo my upper lower back flank waist and arms...I keep wondering if I need a round 2 where would they lipo? Are you gaining weight for this?
newbootypls 30 Oct 2012
I only had my upper & lower back and sides lipoed the 1st time b/c I had a tt. This time I will be getting my arms, abdomen and inner thighs or my back again which ever he thinks is the better spot
wrknonit 30 Oct 2012
Good luck you look so good I can just imagine after this how you will look!!
chiquita2012 30 Oct 2012
We are few days apart, my surgery is July 18th, 2013 with salama, looking at your before pictures my body resembles a lots like yours, is def a nice change from pre op pictures to what u have now... so after the 2nd round it will be to perfection...
newbootypls 30 Oct 2012
Yes I cant wait I need Salama to put the finishing touches on me
missmiami 29 Oct 2012
Since u dont have a ton of fat do u have to regain weight for round 2 or is he considering it a revision or something? I hope u dont have to pay full price even though he is fixing someone else's work. I will definately have a round 2 next year. U gotta wait a year right? Btw, u look good so it can only get better.
newbootypls 6 Nov 2012
im going to gain a lil weight but not much he is going to lipo my arms abdomen and thighs and maybe some more of my upper back since all the areas other then my back have never been lioped
Perfectbuns 29 Oct 2012
You are just around d corner from my sister and I we are both getting our surgery on 07/12/2013. Congrats.
newbootypls 30 Oct 2012
