Hey all, sorry it took me a while to post after pics. I will be fixing my page later today uploaded the pics from my mobile phone. Its been 4 weeks post op, I sat for the first time this past friday. Wow I was scared lol.. But it went well, sat through dinner and a movie. I only had a slight discomfort during the movie but ok so far. I will be posting new pics, im happy with my results, dr. soto gave me curves, he said he injected about 600 cc's in each cheek. Of course naturally I wanted a little bigger at first but im glad with my results. He removed from my stomach, upper and lower and my back. I think if I didnt go thru the whole allergic reaction I would have been smooth sailing. The pain wasnt too bad but of course I was at a disadvantage. So I guess if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Glad you are doing better, see if you can get a different pain med.

Wowww, I never thought about having an allergice reaction to the meds, Dang it sounds hard enough having to deal with not sitting, uncomfortable sleep, pain and who knows what else!!!

I didn't read it, but did you also get a tt? My ps suggested a tt and your stomach looks like mine. He said if he does lipo on my abs my skin is going to sag more than it is.

Man o man...i sure didnt think about any other complications I might have encountered. The swelling in my hands have come down alot..all in all im still happy with my results..i didnt have a tt but my dr. did mention it during my consultation.. My stomach looks so much smaller and I have a waist!!! Im gonna post a front b4 pic and a after with my garment on...my skin is alittle loose but nothing good old excersize wont help..no more surgerys for me, god willing..hope this helped! :)

Hi all, after alot of consideration and research I have a scheduled date for my BBL. I'm 5'6 180lbs and have always wanted to have a fuller bottom. I have big boobs just need the matching bottom. I'm scheduled with Dr.S in Orlando florida 7/15/2011. I live in NYC but have traveled to one of the best from my research.

Dr.S made me feel very comfortable during my consultation back in 05/2011. Dr.S and his staff are very friendly and answered all my questions. So i'm a little nervous but can't wait to see the results. Keep you guys posted!

Hey ricaneve,

Good luck with your BBL and hope you get the results you are looking for!!!

I am shaped just like you and thought I was looking at myself. I'm 5'1" and 169, I did a consult over the internet and sent them my photos and they told me I needed an abdominoplasty $6000 and BBL w/lipo of my flanks, upper & lower back, arms, neck, and transfer for $8000 w/discount $4800 total $11,200. They did say I could have the BBL w/o having the abdominoplasty but my skin will be sagging. I am nervous and havent set an appt yet and thinking sometime around spring break.

Hey carolyn, well he did say I would need a tummy tuck later only if I wanted. But thats if im trying to be perfect but im not.. I dont know how I mustard enough gutts to do this let alone think about a future surgery lol. Well all I can tell you is stay tunned, maybe u will like my after pics and decide u dont need all the extra surgerys. Hope this helped.

ricaneve,

You are sooooo right, I am not trying to be perfect either and don't need all of the extra surgery and with a good bbl who would be looking at my stomach anyway? lol

Thanks for the enlightenment,I snoozed on that one because I was sitting here trying to figure out where on earth was I going to get that much money! I have to stay focused on my goal and not fall into the plastic surgery bug.
