Hi everyone. I have stalked this site for years but now its finally time to make a move. Im done wishing for a butt. Its time to get one. Now, finding a doc seems impossible! I know there are a few favs for butt implants but I got quotes from some and they kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. Almost seemed like used car salesman. And the popular ones are so busy and seem kinda generic in there responses. I want to find that diamond in the rough surgeon. That one that is talented but hasnt quite gained all that popularity. I feel that way I could really have a doc who will listen and spend alot of time with me, and not so rushed. I know I sound like a brat but I just want to feel confident with my surgeon and have a good relationship with them. Seems like this will be a difficult search because I want reviews and pics!!! If the doc isnt popular then... I wont find very many reviews. :/ Well girls! I gotta put my kiddos to bed! Goodnight and I hope for support and help! XOXO

I know you want a diamond in the rough surgeon but that will be very difficult. Because unpopular doctors are usually either inexperienced or not very good at the type of surgery you want (no matter how many times they do it). Hence their lack of fame. I suggest you find a well rated doctor with lots of reviews and don't focus on the price too much. I know that's almost impossible but people who only focus on price end up with a botched up bum. Just try to shop around before making a final decision and focus more on the results the doctor produces and how close those are compared to your wish pics.

@ futurebigbootyjudy, I hear what your saying and that's my thoughts too. But it seems like Dr. Cortes in Huston TX just recently got huge. I like his implants a lot. But anyway, I guess I'm thinking like who were the girls who made him huge. Haha I wanna be the one that got her surgery right before they blew up! And it's not because of price . I don't mind paying for quality. I just want that small, not like an assembly line of girls being pumped out ... It's hard to explain what I mean. I'll probably end up going with dr Cortes or someone like that . But I've been talking to Dr. Lacerna's office and got good vibes. I guess I'm worried cause there aren't many reviews that I can find. I get to talk to her in personally on the phone on weds. So excited to see how that goes. Thanks so much for your comment ! I 100% agree with you... Just hoping I guess

@fari4985 hey girl thanks for your recommendation! I've been following your journey. You look amazing! I am kinda scared to go outta country for surgery. And if I did then I would be scared of the flight home!!!! Long flight after booty surgery!! Ouch! I know if I go to Florida the flight won't be as long. I'm very tempted to go to Mexico or D.R. But ahhhh I don't know!!! Thanks for your comment and I'm still following your story and your doc is on my mind.

So now I think I'm in love with Dr. Cortes in Houston or Dr. Scranton in Beverly Hills. But I heard Dr. Scranton does not do fat grafting. I think I need that. Dr. Cortes is a little more expensive but he's closer to me and does everything I want.
I have a phone consult with Dr. Lacerna on weds the 19th with her personally. Not her assistant or coordinator. Actually her. I love that! We will see how it goes. And I am interested in her quote. Excited.

Hi Purple! I know what you mean as far as used care salesmen feel or generic responses. I know booty is the new "thing" right now but it amazes me how these doctors can give out the same pre-scripted responses to all women. I don't know if it's over confidence or actual experience/expertise but we take that gamble when we lay our little bodies down on the operating table. And you don't sound like a brat, its not to much to ask for a doctor to take their time and find out what you personally want for your shape, your butt and your hips not just his standard big booty surgery. We are paying our hard earned money and risking our lives so we should be handled with care and consideration. I wish you the best! Hopefully we all find what we are looking for :-)

@ Raleigh thanks for commenting! Yeah I know they are busy and I understand it's business and they need an efficient way of handling such high volume of patients... But ugh... And since I have to be an out of town patient it makes it so much harder! So did you ever figure out about that "staying a month thing" with Dr Salma ? Your getting so close to your date! I'm so excited to see your results! He's a good doc!

@purple Yeah I immediately called and called the office to see what was up and they have recently requested women to stay 3-4 weeks vs. the normal 2 weeks so that the Dr. can ensure they are healing properly bc implants are notorious for infection etc. I luckily have that kind of time but do wish I could have known that upfront and I could have planned accordingly. I had to change my flight and extend my accommodations.

I used to model before my two kids and when I was 18-22.... Well i was one of those awkward tall deathly high fashion ones... Walking Skeletons! Yeah so when I took pics for before photos and to send to docs they were like a smacking the face. I didn't realize at all I was sponge bob square pants! I think this is mainly because I modeled and then went to school for commercial photography. These pics are only adjusted in color since my dining room lights are regular bulbs. So that means they are orangey. Ok ok ok I'm rambling ... Here is a pic I took myself of my butt... And I did cool down the orange and I also photoshopped your tiny 1999 never mean.dumb!
