How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

So after an under impressive lipo procedure, I...

So after an under impressive lipo procedure, I have decided to get another procedure. Since I'll be having lipo again I decided that I might as well put that fat to great use. I have chosen Dr. Ortega and will be travelling to Miami on 1/23 with my cousin, who is also getting a BBL. Vivian has been my coordinator, and so far, she's been good. Somewhat annoying at first, because my emails would go unanswered for a while, but once she gave me her cell number, communication became effortless. I won't have my consultation until the day I arrive in Miami, but I am confident with Dr. Ortega. My cousin and I decided to get this procedure last minute, so we have not finalized a recovery house. Unfortunately, Moni is booked solid, Kayla doesn't have any room at her home, but offered for us to stay with her Aunt, and Assistance for Life has space at the Homestead location. I was bummed that we couldn't stay with Moni, and slightly bothered at staying with Kayla's aunt because I don't have any information on her and she is not a nurse. Assistance for Life will most likely be our best bet, but its the most expensive, for the least amount of support. Do any of the BBL sisters have any recommendations? Are there any other recovery houses that I have not mentioned?Other than housing, we are ready to go! Below is a list of supplies that I have compiled, so please use it as needed.

Recovery House & BBL Pillow

After speaking with Keyla for a while, I became more comfortable with the situation and will be staying at her aunt's place. She is going to pick us up from the airport and take us to our consultation. Keyla is going to come by and check on us as well. The pictures of her aunt's place are really nice! We decided to stay elsewhere the night before sx to save money. It's $130 a night.

I ordered the Booty Buddy instead of using a boppy pillow. I just couldn't comprehend how the boppy pillow would work for me, and I think this is a better option since it is made for the BBL recovery process. I will definitely let you all know how it works.

As of now, I am going to use a massage therapist that was referred to me by Vivian at Spectrum. I have not talked to her yet, but Vivian said her prices are 3 for $100, which is great! For whatever reason, if I do not go with her, I am going to use Marian. Her prices are 3 for $150.

I am less than two weeks away, and so excited for this enhancement.

Returning to Work

I am going to take 2 weeks off and then return to work. Hopefully I will not get too many stares with the Booty Buddy in my chair. I am also ordering a Varidesk Standing Desk, and I am going to try to stand as much as possible. The desk is adjustable so you can stand or sit while utilizing it.

Do any Dolls have testimony about the return to work? Was the transition easy? How did you function if you sit most of the day?
