Brazilian Butt Lift: Stories

Hi everyone, I've been interested in getting a tummy tuck for a while, and I said what the hell, if I get that I might as well fix the other areas too. So I decided to get the bbl and tt together. This site really helped me in choosing my surgeon!!!!!! I called in Jan 2012 to schedule an appt for a consultation after reading a review here and seeing the before and after results. I also looked up the doctor and I found nothing but good things about him.......Well it seems that he is in extreme high demand because there wasn't an appt available to April! Well between that time and now I've had 2 other consultations and Dr.Hegg was the best! He's very confident and we seem to be on the same page. That was important to me. I'm a mother of 3. So since having kids I haven't been happy with my tummy. I don't have a a lot of stretch marks but I just can't seem to get rid of that belly fat And loose skin.I was hoping I wouldn't need a tummy tuck, but the doctors said my skin would probably sag after if I just did lipo.....I don't wanna take that chance because I'm getting a huge discount on the tummy tuck because I'm doing both together. Well I was hoping to have my Kim Kardash body by the summer but the doctor is already booked till September......so I Scheduled my surgery date for Sept.4th 2012. I had to pay a $500 deposit to book the appt (this seemed to be the average as with other doctors) I don't live in that area so the receptionist suggested that I stay in a hotel near by for the first week because the doctor makes a house call 2 days after to make sure everything is going good, and he has to give me an injection. She said I wouldn't be in any condition to commute to the office so that would be the best bet... I'm really excited!!!! I'm going to try my best to post updates and pictures so my info can help anyone else interested in this type of surgery. I decided to post my own review because most of the girls I seen were pretty slim before their surgery and complained about needing to gain weight. (I wish!) Well I'm 5'1 and I weigh 153 right now. I would consider my self chubby or thick right now. I was told that my results will be better if I lose some weight before that surgery, so that's what I'm going to be working on till then...... I'm a open book so if anyone has any questions feel free to ask!

hi everyone. I'm posting some current pictures of my body. Omg it is really eye opening to see them! I didn't realizes how out of shape I have gotten!!!!! I'm sooooo disapointed with my self! I have been trying to diet since the begining of the year, but as you can see I haven't been doing to well :( hopefully these eye opening pictures will give me the willpower and motivation to succeed. I'm trying to lose at least 10 pounds before my surgery. I've tried pills, eating healthier, and a little exercise but I have little willpower to stay away from cookies, cakes, frappuccinos, and carbs!!! They're so delicious. I will also try to post some pictures of my body before I became pregnet with my last child (2010) I wieghed about 135-140 at that time. I was thick, but in all the right places. Right now I weigh 151 (but I look more like 180!) I really hope I can lose the weight!!!! I will keep you all posted.

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted an update in a while. I've been really busy!!!! Well I didn't get my surgery in sept after all. I felt I wasn't ready (with my wieght & the holidays right around the cornner) So I rescheduled for late Feb this year. I was able to finally lose some wieght. I wieght about 140-137 right now. I still feel fat! :( Even though my pre-pregnancy jeans fit, and are a lil loose it just doesn't feel the same as before. So I took some body pics today. If I stand different ways my body looks better but I wanted to show my flaws. I promise I will update after my surgery! Good luck all! XOXO

Hey all today is my pre-op appt. I'm very excited! My surgery is scheduled for March 5th. I already booked a room at the comfort Inn in Oakland. (Its 8 mins from the office) I found a really good deal online. The room also has a sofa bed, microwave, and frig. The hotel has a gym and indoor spa. Its really nice for the price! ($56 a night) I was gonna go with the Hilton garden Inn but it would of cost me over $100 more and the room doesn't even have a frig or micro. Well we're almost there, so I'll keep you all posted! And thanks to all you girls for the good wishes and support! :)

Hey girls, so I had my surgery on Tuesday. I'm kinda drugged up right now so I'm gonna keep it short. Everything went well. The Doc only gave me 800 cc. He said that was all I needed. First night of recovery was torture!!!! Second day was ok but third got hard again. Today I think is the best day so far. It's getting easier to get in and out of bed. I brought 2 long pillows and a boppy pillow for sitting and a memory foam pad to lay on the bed. It helps a lot. Pain pills are my best friend right now. Lol now I'm just waiting my drain to stop so the doc can take them out and I can go home. I haven't taken my gerttle off at all. I wish I could cuz its super tight! Well that's all right now. I'll post pics in a week or so.

Adding a pic of the best way I've found to rest without putting too much pressure on my butt. It's basically 2 couch cushions spaced out about one foot with a 3 " memory foam on top with pillow bellow my head and legs. Hope this is helpful....

Dumb iPhone won't let me post the pic. Well I can put it up later.

Day 6. Ugh! Everything is still such a challenge! 2 very good tips......1) if you have a cough even a little one, RESCHEDULE! If anyone around you has a cough, reschedule! #2) DRINK OUT OF A STRAW! Its easier to sip wrong when you drink from a cup or bottle then a straw.
Coughing with a fresh tummy tuck is the worst thing EVER!!! It feels like someone is gutting you from inside. So hopefully that's helpful....

Omg Omg, I just got some shocking News! Dr.Hegg has died :,( I couldn't believe it!!!! After my surgery he told me he was going on vacation the following week so I'd have to schedule my follow up for when he comes back. (Which was suppose to be today) Well Last Friday his secretary called me to tell me he hadn't made it back from his trip and I'd have to see another doctor (a friend of Dr.Hegg) for my follow up.
I thought Dr.Hegg was just having too much fun and decided to stay longer. I was even joking about it.....
Well today at my appt with Dr.Iverson is when I found out that my Doctor is gone forever! :( its sooooooo sad! He was such a nice gifted man! R.I.P DR.STANLEY HEGG.....You will truly be missed!
