  • 23 Feb 2011

I had the procedure done in Beverly Hills and IT WAS WORTH IT! The most fat that can be extracted from your body with out you having to be under intensive care for your weight is 5 LITERS (as was mine) and that transfers to 1400 cc's, which 700 cc's per butt cheek. (What I got!)

My butt was HUGE!! I was scared, then it went down and now it is perfect =)...I did not sit, drive, NOTHING for 6 weeks straight. It was well worth it. If you sit on the fat it will dissolve, but u keep about 75% (because usually ppl start sitting around 3 weeks) My doc said I looked like I kept about 90% due to my efforts so I was pleased. 700 cc's is MORE THAN ENOUGH! Its not a fake looking Nicki Minaj butt, but a rounder Kim Kardashian look. I love my butt now!!

It takes 6 months to see final results since the lipoed areas take forever for the internal swelling to heal (which is soooo true!) I had lipo in my lower back right above my buttocks and I thought I was pretty much all healed after 6 weeks but I still feel a little pressure when I move and its STILL SHRINKING! My booty is looking even better and I am so pleased because the arch looks even better! So all in all you should be happy and you will love your new butt!

Tips: Drink A LOT of water (it will help you heal faster and diminish any surgical scars), and DON'T SIT! to keep as much of the fat as possible...

I also want to add that my little scars from the fat insertion areas have diminished after 5 months! So be patient your final results will be amazing!

Hey hun serious question..i only have 3 weeks before i have to be sitting, im 5'6 and 125 pounds. All my fat is in my stomach, love handles and im just wide from the abdomen region , and skinny legs and flat butt, i guess you could say apple shape... So obviously im probably getting less injected in my butt than you but do you think the amount you got injected had to do with the longgg 6 week recovery it took you?
newbootypls 19 Oct 2011

u look great !!
am planning to get bbl soon but so scared that i wouldnt have enough fats to get the desired result , am afraid because i might not have enough fats ( i am 166 cm , 60 kg even though the doctor said he would give me 1000cc oer cheek , i dont know if he`s honest or not

luvvv88 14 Jul 2011
you look amaizing.. do you know how much fat was grafted into your hips? Also did you have wide hips to begin with?

I really want to have the surgery done but i am terrified of going under anastesia. Im not even worried about the pain as much as going under. Were you scared at all ?
beauty05 20 May 2011
Hi ladie. Just want to ad to the tummy tuck with butt fat transfer and implants done all together. It is possible but not recommended. I had all three done because i only wanted to go under anesthesia once. Big mistake! Only because your not able to lay on your stomach, the breast and tummy tuck are not allowed to be layed on, tummy tuck cant have pressure on it, it needs circulations to heal properly. My butt looked better and rounder but it wasnt what i was looking for because i had to lay on my back but i put two pillows underneath my legs and lower back so it didnt touch much of the recliner i had to sleep in for about 3month. I wanted bigger butt so i went for a second round of just the butt transfer. Im 3weeks out and im hoping i get good results like Minaj and ladeebuggmi :) I say it was a big mistake because now i had to go under AGAIN and spend more MONEY and most of all TIME! But multiple surgeries doesnt determine if the Dr. is not a good Dr. Just ask what he recommends and what are your options. Every individual is different. Research! I wish i did more research. Hope i helped someone..:)

Beauty05, that was very helpful information. Thanks. I'm having BBL, Lipo, and a mini tuck next month and now that you've said that, I don't know how I'm going to sleep. I was assuming that you could still lay on your stomach if you got a tummy tuck. I want to add to my hips as well so I will be doomed. LOL. I'll have to learn to sleep standing up. So how did you do it? I hope you get the results you want this time with your second BBL.
@Minaj Sister girl you look fantastic!! I hope to have great results like you. Thanks for all the suggestions also. I read a lot of people's experiences to kind of get my mind geared for what to expect. But there are so many women on here that look amazing and I hope to add to the masses. Keep rocking it girl!!!
beauty05 26 May 2011
If you have to get it all done at the same time then thats understandable but if not, if I could do it all over again I would do the BBL first, so you have all the fat you can get and put it back in your butt then get a second surgery after your all healed up and do the tummytuck. Dr.'s usually dont allow you to lay on your stomach after a tummytuck cause your stomach needs the blood to circulate inorder for proper healing. The way I did it, I rented a recliner (which companies do for people that just had surgeries,ask your Dr.)and I created a pocket for my butt with pillows under my thighs/legs and pillows on my back. Your gonna need alot of pillows and someone to help you lay in them correctly. I had my husband carry me into the pocket created in the recliner, careful they dont hurt you when carrying you. Its alot of work when you get all these surgeries at once but its possible. So your in this recliner for a long time. I felt like I was sleeping in the recliner for a long while, I think 3months. The investment in this recliner is worth it if your going to have all procedures all at once. You've invested in your surgery so far, you might as well invest in the recliner, whether buying one or renting one. Hope this was helpfull :) Good Luck!

hey Beauty05 how are u doing now 2nd time around?
rockstAr21 17 May 2011
I was also just wondering--- How did you hear about this doctor and how did you find out he did this surgery, bc I also looked him up and couldnt find it under "expertise"... i would really like to know;) was it by recommendation?
angdelgad2 16 Apr 2011
Hello Minaj, I just want to tell you that you have the best results I have seen thus far. Im really considering getting the BBL and idk, Im just wondering where to go! Im from NYC and I dont want to go to someone who cannot do a great job. Im looking to get the best butt for my body type. But keep up the good butt girl!
SexxyNezzy 14 Apr 2011
Minaj, you look GREAT! I had my lipo/bbl on March 24th, today makes 3 weeks post op. You gave a great tip about drinking water. I started drinking a lot of water months b4 my procedure and did after procedure and feel great. My doc made two small incision on the sides of my hips and used stiches that disolves. I am now at the stage where I am still sore and itchy, itchy, itchy. I give myself massages everyday on the hard parts that I still have on my abs.

Congrats to you!
RockStarEnt 24 Mar 2011
Right. I also would like some fat transefered to my hips to achieve a more hour glass figure. Thanx so much for your response. I'm planning to have the surgery in late june so that gives me a few months to pack on some pounds to achieve the look I want. Thats crazy that you did not sit for that long, but I'm tryna do the SAME thing!! I would hate to spend all this money and then not do the work neccesary to get the maximum results.
RockStarEnt 24 Mar 2011
Hey I just came from a consult with a ps and he estimated that he could get about 5-600 cc's in each cheek. I'm 5'5 160 lbs. He would lipo my abdomen, flank,back, n inner thighs to achieve that. I was a little disappointed because I was hoping for closer to 700 like you recieved. From looking at your before pics its crazy that he got that much out?? Had you gained weight since those pics were taken to the time you had surgery?
Minaj 24 Mar 2011
Yes I did I was about 160ish when I had work done and the before pic i put up is about a yr before the surgery so I was smaller...but u can see the general shape of my butt and it was FLAT. I got my stomach lipoed also but I dont think i mentioned my waist, which is also plays a very great part in the shape of my backside!! my waist is very tiny now because i had it lipoed along with full stomach and back and i also had fat graft to my hips for the "heart shaped look"...i also drank a lot of water and I do not smoke as well as walked lightly daily to circulate blood thru the newly placed fat cells to reatin them. I also DID NOY SIT AT ALL faithfully for 6 wks even tho some docs say 2 or 3! so yes i was larger the day of surgery which i didnt know made much of a diff at the time, but it helped =)
ButtImStillBeautiful 23 Mar 2011
Which doctor did u go to n bh? I go get mine done aug 15th. Any suggestions before going into operation?
Minaj 24 Mar 2011
Yes make sure that you mention your waist and get that lipoed as well, i said i had my stomach lipoed a lot on here but i forgot to mention my waist as well!! it will make a HUGE diff in how you body and shape looks...fat graft to butt if great butt a smaller waist makes your behind look so much bigger, also if your hipless be sure to ask your doctor to add to that area too. i was focused on WIDTH and PROJECTION an a more heart shaped look as opposed to a large butt without the hips or a "athletic"...well unless thats wat u want! Also get at least 5 or better consults, and dont settle for the cheapest price unless they are board certified and have incredible reviews! ont bargain shop with ur body!! You may be disappointed and you def get wat u pay for in lots of cases! My price was not HUGE (I had a consult for 12,000 an better) and not the cheapest (lowest quote was 6700) but I did my research. My doc has a great rep, so I was pleased and VERY clear with my expectations as well. Its your money, just keep looking at these reviews and Google all your potential Ps's. =)
