WORTH IT$5,900

Going in for my BBL and lipo to my abs, flanks, and inner thighs. I'm also considering a lip fat transfer while Im out with the IV as well. Always wanted a fuller lips and booty. :D Super excited and nervous.

I'll add my pre-op pics soon. Right now Im just going to try and get everything together that I need way beforehand so I dont have to worry about it too close to the date. Any suggestions on what is critical to buy would be helpful.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your journey with us. What date in April will you be having surgery?

I'm sure the other BBL ladies will be able to give you lots of advice.

He can inject that fat into your lips? How much extra does he charge for this and does it last?
February 13, 2012
Hi, yea I was curious about that too. He can inject fat to your lips? Please give us details on that, thanks :)

Hi ladies. Yes he can and it works the same like the booty....whatever takes will stay but a good portion will probably die off. He said that its tricky with the lips because you dont want to overcorrect too much because its on your face and well who wants huge blow up lips? Id rather do it with my own fat then any other chemical substance though and I'll already be out so why not give it a go? Its $500.

I think my consult was in February or early march. They first scheduled me for June 6 but then there were some changes and they were able to get me in April which thankfully happened because I wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise. Just know its always a possibility that you may be able to get in sooner then later.

ok, I got mine for august. Paid my 500. I have not had my consult. I know i'M Positive that i want it so I booked and now im waiting to be on the consult. Were you able to tell him how much you want or does he do what he thinks looks righ?

Good for you! It will really change your life and you'll feel so confident. I think its a bit of both...you know the saying "doctors know best" well I think every doctor thinks that of himself. Really be clear about what you want. That is super important, but overall he really knows what hes doing and you can see from his work. If everything were up to me and he did exactly what I had said then I would be regretting my decision because I would ahve the same butt. He put it way more CC's then what I would have "wanted" but let me be clear that IT WILL GO DOWN! haha like a lot! I was freaking out at first because it was soooo big but now it is the perfect size! and not too much bigger then what I had before which is exactly what I wanted. He really is an artist

Good luck with your surgery! When did you book it? I've been trying to get a date in March/April but no luck.
User Avatar
February 19, 2012
Thanks! I'll take all the luck I can get :D Its booked for April. It was originally for June but they had a cancellation and I was on their list so they called me to change to April. It worked out great cuz I want my body before summertime! yay! Just hold out theres still a chance they may call you.

I'm almost six weeks out, still swollen & numb but feeling much better. My butt has gone down a bit since the last pics I posted but I still have volume & shape back there, a lot more then I had before.My waist is def smaller & I've lost a couple of lbs, I'm currently 137 but I'm trying to get down to 130, I think that would be the perfect weight for me.
User Avatar
February 29, 2012
Good for you. 130 is my ideal weight too. Do u have any idea what your waist to hip ratio is?

I am 5 days post op. wow what a recovery it has...

I am 5 days post op. wow what a recovery it has been. The first 3 days are comparable to hell but it does get better after that. Showered for the first time yesterday and that was hard. I don't kno what I would have done or how I would have gotten thru this without my bf helpin me every step of the way. You really need someone to look after you for 4 days. It's crucial.

I was so loopy after the surgery. They gave me Gatorade and I swear it was the best thing I ever had in that moment. My bf said I yelled real loud when they put me in the wheelchair. It felt like I had two solid rocks in my butt. Dr hegg came in the room and I said somethn like " dr. Hegg didya give me a big ol butt" haha

That's all for now.

How u like ur shape? Did u get what u wanted/expected ur lips look amazing
User Avatar
April 25, 2012
Thanks girl. Doc says my lips will go down more. It's hard to kno the outcome of how much fat will stay in the lips. My shape is awesome. Too early on to really see what I'll look like since I'm so swollen. Can't wait for that to go down. Could b another 2 weeks before that happens
April 25, 2012
My surgery in 2 weeks man I hope I can handle it well and I hope I get an ass I kept insisting on huge n he looked at me like I'm crazy lol
May 1, 2012
Do you have any recent pics you can put ip so i can see what you mean?
May 1, 2012
You look great and will be so happy right around your 3rd month. The swelling goes down so much!

Did u see much of a difference in your flank area go down from 2 weeks out to a couple of months? That's the area I'm a lil worried about since it doesn't seem that he liked as much in that area as much as the stomach. So when I put certain underwear on I still get the muffin top.
