I got my brazilian butt lift in miami. I am very happy with the results. I wanted a smaller waist and bigger buttom to get am hourglass figure. The doctor performed a liposuction of my upper back, lower back, flank, fat pad, abdomen, banana roll area and lateral thighs, cinched my waist in, and transfered roughly about 500 cc's in each butt cheek. I had an empty space he filled in that appeared to be in my hips but he said was part of my butt and would automatically be filled in. As a result I have a really curvy bottom that matches my breast size.

This procedure was very uncomfortable and painful. Definitely worse then breast augmentation. But thats just my opinion and my experience. You do need more then 48 hrs with a caretaker if your flying in from out of town.

I was lucky to have my friend help me for 10 days. And thats the time frame that was able to function comfortably on my own.

The first two days were extremely painful. The pain meds only helped to a certain point. The pros is that it is worth the pain. So i had to constantly remind myself of my wish picture. The cons is that you need 6 weeks of recuperation. No sitting-although they say u can sit on a boppy pillow-i only used it for the plane ride which i booked business class and was comfy going home and with the help of pain meds.

I am still walking funny after 4 weeks. Feel soreness in my butt. My thighs are swollen from putting pressure on the thigh when sitting on the boppy pillow one time i took a ride on the car.

Since then i just prefer not to use the boppy pillow at all. I just lay in the back of the car when i need to make errands.

I cannot wait to sit down. I will have a life again very soon. I dont go out to restuarnts unless its like chain restuarants where they have the tall tables by the bar. Other then that you have a limited lifestyle for 6 weeks. You either laying down in your belly or standing.

I am use to it. Again you allowed to sit on boppy pillow but I prefer not to. I dont trust the boppy pillow.

You look GOOD! All that standing and laying would drive me nuts, but your results are fabulous. Congrats!

My boyfriend told me my butt looked too big for my legs... I loved that compliment! (translation: Oh lala!) :)

BooTay I planned to have my BBL done Sept 29th and what concerns me is what your boyfriend said about your legs...see I'm tall with large breast no butt and small legs and I'm just hoping and praying that my butt match my body. I told Dr. Evans I just want to even out. If you don't mind can you please share your before and after pictures...I can provide you with my email address.
BooTay 26 Aug 2011
@1classylady... If you click on my name and go to my boppy pillow review, you'll see my pictures

Are you still wearing your garment or have you switched to spanx yet?
Diamond99 24 Aug 2011
Bootay thanks girl!! Hahah I know that's good to have a bigger butt then ur legs! Ur hip measures are amazing! Right now I'm 38-30-42, before I gained weight for the fat transfer n was 38-33-40, curious if the tummy will go down more supposely right? I'm still wearing the surgical garment no one told me about spandex what's the spandex all about?

How much did u spend in all?
meds garments etc...
Diamond99 24 Aug 2011
I spend 6900 for the surgery, i didnt pay for the meds bc my insurance covered it. But it will be 80 bucks for meds. Also arnica is about 8 bucks-ull need two of those to last you. And 6 bucks for bromolein. surgical garments was included. hope that helps

Rockstar thank u. Yeah it definitely looks natural. I am happy with that.
jernie 24 Aug 2011
Looking good girl!
He has a special going on right now for 7,000
Good idea getting business class I plan of getting a tummy tuck &bbl I really don’t know how that’s going to work
Diamond99 25 Aug 2011
Thank u Jernie. Well both of those will probably be extremely painful at the same time. But if those were my prb area id probably get it done in one shot and deal with the pain all at once with the oxycotin pain meds get through it and then move on.

Hi Diamond99! Your pics look great! I was thinking about Dr. Salzhauer and now I'm leaning strongly towards Dr. Salama. Did you consult with Dr. Salama beforehand?
jlynn2011 24 Aug 2011
hey cocopuff! I was considering both those docs as well.... I just booked my bbl with dr. salama tho... he has a special on right now that was great and his work looks great too! sooooo hopefully all goes well! both were great to deal with tho. and i really like the shape that dr. s gets for his patients!
cocopuff1 24 Aug 2011
@ jlynn2011-wonderful! definitely keep me posted! when is your bbl scheduled?
jlynn2011 24 Aug 2011
october 10th!!! EEEEEE! Im excited and nervous lol!! Im also goin by myself too and am travellin from the west coast so it'll be an interesting time!
Diamond99 25 Aug 2011
Thank u so much cocopuff. I did come across Dr. Salama. But I will be honest with you. Everyone has a vision fo beauty. And if you visions of beauty resonates with dr. Salama then go for it. But for me-Dr. Salama represented the plastic surgeons here in NY. And they did not meet my expectations. Thats why i choose to travel outside of state thats why. My mother questioned me that it would have been easier for me and cheaper. But i knew exactly what i wanted and knew exactly how to get it. And i got it:)

Sorry for the bad grammer. I meant:

Even my mother questioned me -she said that it would have been easier for me and cheaper to just find out in ny since i didnt have to worry about flight or hotel. But i knew exactly what i wanted and knew exactly how to get it. And that meant-having to make some sacrifices.And i got exactely it:)
jlynn2011 25 Aug 2011
** an i meant dr. salhauzer... for the shape and contour of his work... i favour his work moreso... but am going with salama.
cocopuff1 25 Aug 2011
No worries with the grammar-LOL!!! That's totally true, Dr. Salz is really good in terms of the final product. Thanks for the view. My pocketbook resonates with Dr. Sala while my vision resonates with Dr. Salz-ROFL!!! Decisions, decisions, if only life could be so simple! Looking forward to more updates!
cocopuff1 25 Aug 2011
That's true. I know you can't wait for October 10th to come quick enough. I'm excited for you. I am looking at a little later, November or December probably...
cocopuff1 25 Aug 2011
@ Diamond-Yes and with 500ccs, you look terrific but you didn't look bad before but this is more oomph & pow! Did you take pictures of what you wanted your end result to be?
