Picked DR.FISHER - Miami, FL

Hi Ladies, I'm traveling from western Canada to Miami for the bbl procedure in September. I 27 years old with a 17 month old boy. I will be having my surgery performed by Dr.Fisher. I don't intend to stay in the recovery house after the surgery, will stay elsewhere. I'm scared about the 8-9 hr plane ride back to my province.. Any tips? I don't want to ruin my costly investment. My son is coming as well as a friend, she is leaving after a week and my baby and I will stay an extra week, how were you girls feeling during 2 weeks post op? Do you think it would be a problem looking after my son? I really don't feel it will be and I hope to take him for short walks to keep him busy. Let me know any suggestions please- I need to take him with me so I don't want to hear "leave him home" lol. Thanks ladies take care.

If you are flying into America from another country it is RECOMMENDED that you stay 10 days (as per Dr.Fisher's suggestion) which is understandable. I have read reviews where girls have left 5 days or so after surgery to recover at home (which I would prefer to do only because I live soooo far away). My friend is staying 7 out of the RECOMMENDED 10 days, leaving the night of my 7th day (post op). I will be flying home on the 9th day (post op) so I will be by myself for 1 day and a few hours after my friend leaves (I don't think I'll be struggling to care for my son) however I do have family who can come help out when/if needed. So the help is only a call away- glad that's taken care of and I have support, I'm not staying with them because they live far from Vanity and the airport.. and I'm not putting myself through so much booty sitting on my way to and from Vanity for my massages. Oh btw, I called my local airline to check there policy for standing up on the plane (I know) and they say as long as you are out of the way when snacks are being served and sitting when the seatbelt sign is on, or the plane went through turbulence, they don't have a problem. I do have a comfortable infant nursing pillow - most people on here refer to them as "boppy pillows" it's the same thing. If you are flying for a long time I suggest to speak to someone in customer service from your local airline carrier to see what their policy is, because I did read one review where a girl was told she wasn't allowed to stand (unless going to the bathroom/getting luggage) and try to book the very back seat(s) if possible or the seats by the emergency exit (more space), and requesting wheelchair assistance is free (don't know about all the airlines), which I will request (baby on lap in wheelchair is allowed). Everything seems to be going well. Hope this helps someone. Take care ;0)

I've been going through the list of "things you need" and bleach spray in on there to use for wiping/cleaning off yourself during the time you can't take a shower. Is "bleach spray" regular household bleach that's diluted? Or is it the actual name of the product? And where did you purchase it.. Sorry if this seems like a silly question, but I would like to know. Thanks.

I'm so happy my bbl surgery procedure is paid in full (although the Canadian/United States currency conversion is a killer- I've paid hundreds more just because the Canadian dollar is weak :0( my surgery date is set for September, I'm getting 5 massages done by Marian before I leave Miami, my living arrangements have been booked and confirmed... my plane ticket will be purchased next month.

One tip is to start purchasing your post-op care products once you put your deposit down - and your mind is 100% set that you will continue with the procedure. Buying all these items at once is expensive.. if you pace yourself and take your time you can compare prices both in store and on line to save as much as possible. There's so much to take into account it can get overwhelming. Keeping a list helps you maintain order because you wouldn't want to forget anything.

I'm excited to say the least ladies, I just want to get this surgery done and over with so I can put this experience behind me (pun intended). I'm not a curvy woman, I'm rather tiny (5'4), but I've gained 30 pounds for the procedure...I stand in the mirror trying to imagine what my new figure will look like.. did I mention that I'm excited?? lol.. take care lovely ladies!!

I have purchased everything I can possibly think of carrying to Miami. My suitcase has been packed for a month and a half now lol.. I'm just so excited. I'am not longer taking my son with me to Miami.. (God willing) after I heal, I will be able to take him somewhere special.
I was hard at work researching the possible problems that could arise from the bbl surgery and it got me paranoid.. EMBOLISMS are NO JOKE!! I'm scared about developing a clot during my long flight back home, I've researched various foot/leg exercises that will help keep blood flowing through my calves and foot, I also plan to be the most annoying person on the flight - because I will be walking down the isles every 15 minutes or so, or as much as I can without getting in other peoples and the flight crews way.

I was debating whether or not to have my inner thighs done.. my legs just started rubbing together at the top of my inner thighs, as I have put on 30 pounds for the procedure. Yes it provides more fat for the buttocks, however I've come across some pictures of girls who have really skinny legs then a big bum and on some it looks rather weird. I don't know if it will look weird on me-but it very well could.

I just want to get this over and done with to be honest. I place all my fears and anxiety in Gods hands.. I sometimes feel like I'm being ungrateful towards God for wanting to enhance the size of my butt - He ultimately knows my genuine desire for why I want to go through with this..but I definitely need the Holy Spirit to help me develop [healthy] self esteem, both before and after the surgery. On that note, I will end the update here. Got to go -talk with you all later.. best wishes!!

Hoping for this outcome in 3 weeks!!

Oh my word... I'm nervous BUTT excited!!! also, ladies I know there are so many negative reviews about the staff at Vanity.. with long wait times, scams, lies, and messing around with girls and their money. I must say that I thank God, that I never once experienced ANY BAD attitude or lack of professionalism this far.. and I paid for my surgery 2.5 months ago. The only headache I had was waiting for the initial response after I had sent my first email to them about my decision to have the bbl. Jessica was my coordinator, but failed to meet my expectations off the bat, from the first email- so another girl (Selena) stepped in and has been my coordinator ever since. Friends, I highly recommend her to look after you. she has been great to me.

NOW as that is said... my blood work is on Monday (which is a follow up blood test- seeing that I live in Canada, I did one over here a few days ago and had the results faxed to Dr.Fisher).. AND my surgery is the following day..so let's see how everything plays out. I hope I don't have to write anything negative about this place... and that they have their stuff in order, I don't have time for unnecessary anxiety and stress about my procedure. I want to get this over and done with asap. Will keep you updated. **will only post pics once my surgery has been completed, and the Lord brings me out of surgery alive and well.

I haven't been able to post since I've had my surgery, sorry ladies. Will do a proper update and add photos once I return home. I'm just not in the mood to do anything now. Meeting Dr.Fisher was exactly how everyone describes. We talked about the City in Canada where I'm from, (while he was marking me). Then he educated me about my body and the places that I store my fat and what the lipo would and would not do to those areas. I showed him 3 photos on my iPhone that I hoped to achieve. I did not want a lot of hips/ wide hips or hips that appear high. Luckily I have full thighs and some hip..he told me he will remove my lower love handles and fill in the dents on my natural hips to give the shape I want.

He said I was in a good place to achieve the booty I wanted but the girls overall body type and mine are different- but it will work. I woke up laying on my stomach in the recovery room with a few other girls. (one of Dr.Hasan's girls had to be taken to the hospital- don't know why, but the girl besides that whispered it to me thinks she lost to much blood). I just need to pause and say Thank You God Almighty, for it being Your will that I made it through this procedure with spared life!!! Anyone of us can take a turn for the worst. Moving on, I was the last person to leave (at midnight) because I was dizzy and weak from hunger. There was only 1 nurse working the recovery room, let me tell you ladies she is such a beautiful selfless person- she obviously could only see one person at a time and we were all very needing of her attention. She did not become flustered even when she had to call 911 for that girl- she calmly spoke to the girl and the girl was rather calm herself. While she was assisting them a very ignorant woman is there yelling at her because her pain meds wore off. Honestly we were ALL in pain - I was quietly waiting - like do you really expect to have intensive surgery like this and not feel once ounce of pain (kiss teeth). The nurse asked someone (staff) to bring her soup in the recovery room so that she can divide her LUNCH for us in little cups to help our dizziness. Super grateful for that. And guess what the ignorant woman is also greedy..she sent her friend back over to drain the girls soup!! I was highly annoyed but the nurse was telling me I have to wait 1hr after I wake up before I could attempt to get up. I was finally able to do so and she kept calling my phone to ensure I was alright.

I DID not take any medication Execpt what I brought from home (which I showed Fisher) 1 hr prior to my massages with Marian. Nothing for vomiting and no stool softener. I bought soup and ripe fruits and pineapple juice, 3 days post op I pooped like a baby..on my own. The only thing is I didn't know how to wipe my butt lol..Hott mess but I'm getting better.

My neck hurts from the prone position 24/7. I have pain where my drain tube comes out of my abdomen.. The tube is super annoying and it comes out on Oct 7th. I got my period- which is not good in this situation. Marian (message lady says it VERY normal/common). I hate the thong garment (not the one Vanity gives you) I bought this myself and it hurts my crack.. Even though I put something there it's just so tight in the area cause my butt is sensitive. Overall this journey is painful, frustrating but worth it when you look in the mirror.
